I think this is more Claude writing than LLM writing. GPT-5.6 also talks like an LLM, but not like this . With GPT-5.6 I get reasonable results with "use natural, plain English". I tried "use ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical

No, why should I have to remember to @ in every prompt? Or ask contributors to remember. It just makes it easier to make human mistakes. I have better things to do than micromanagement. There is huge value in auto-included context.

One tactic I’ve found helpful is multi pass quality improvement. First make it work. Then review for guidelines adherence. Loop until satisfied.

That's like saying a large percentage of X-colored people are criminals, therefore when we see an X-colored person it's reasonable to expect him to be criminal. As a society we have decided that heuristics like this, and prejudici

How do you handle context limits? With more thinking tokens you fill it up earlier. Compaction degrades performance too. What's your strategy?

Generosity and securing natural resources and international influence don't have to be mutually exclusive. If you interview Africans, then they say that while cooperation with China has problems, they sure are glad they at least have m

Which is weird since this is not a criticism on AI. I really want to know how I can use things like Claude Work without the risk of it going rogue! Giving it access to lots of systems is potentially very valuable, but also so dangerous th

I find it really weird why people keep framing decisions like this in terms of morals and selflessness, e.g., "is/isn't philantropy". This is about relationships and mutual benefit. They literally announced their motivat

And what do you think happens after the govt said that? Going to companies and force them to open models? That's only how westerners' misconception of China works. If you study Chinese EV industrial policy history you'll know

Rather, thank you competition in China. This is Chinese "overcapacity" (of talent pool) at work.

How good is Lazarus nowadays? Haven't taken a look for 20 years so this is a genuine question.

Very weird for this to be downvoted. It's a legitimate concern. It's also a legitimate question: where do you get your trust from? Do you have guardrails? Or is it really just blind trust?

How do you have any kind of trust in these tools? They always feel like one prompt injection away, or one over eager agent away ("I'll lookup a forgotten credential in an email to ssh into a server to hack a system in order to ful

Models don't have an inherent identity. It should be obvious by now that every models trains on public AI chat session transcripts. I've seen Claude say it's Qwen.

That really depends on who you ask. If it's that bad then why did all of those countries sign up for the RCEP?

I'm kinda confused given that they're from China. The Chinese Internet is very different from the western Internet. The web is way smaller, and a lot of useful content is behind app-based walled ecosystems such as Wechat, Douyin a
