Did you initially ask the tool to read the docs? I wouldn’t be surprised if you did and still had the same issue, but if you relied on the training data recall alone, you definitely shortchanged yourself. I’ve had decent results with taskin

Oh, I agree that’s the case, and I’ve noticed it over the years, but never thought deeply on it other than “that’s an annoying preset”

That’s illuminating. I was born and have lived in the U.S. my entire life. If you asked me what the first day of the week was, I would immediately respond with “Monday”. I’m going to mull this one over a bit more to figure out where my soci

Wasn’t that the entire premise of the product when it launched? Disappearing messages and minimal footprint so you could be confident your communications were semi-private? That was the expectation of using the product so it fits and isn’t

I don't think that disagrees with what I said. I was translating the Greek, not the Hebrew. But you're right the Hebrew פְּלִשְׁתִּים֒ is unambiguously "Philistines." The Greek quoted above is from the Septuagint, and th

I can't speak for the OP, but in my research, the translation works out to be: "Let me die with the foreigners" I usually see "foreigners" replaced with "Philistines" (as noted above). It's Samson&#x2

I notice the models with reasoning can conflate “internal” (or subagent) discussions with external (i.e. me). So it is accurately indicating “I’ve had this discussion before” but incorrectly asserting who it was with. My understanding of ho

Models before the announced date don’t have watermarking, so it’s unlikely. Now, if what you are interpreting is precursor work to develop the watermarking system, maybe? I suspect it less insidious: Claude has/had the public sentiment

Even if they were well-funded, I suspect the history of regulatory capture, at least in the U.S., shows that meaningful pro-consumer reforms get slow-walked until the underlying bills dilute and/or die in committee. Or, if reforms do p

My initial reaction was “woah, you just described HyperCard”. Which isn’t exactly true in retrospect, but kudos for capturing the promise of (at least for me) one of the formative technologies that subtly, and not so subtly, influenced the

AI adopted humanisms, we just weren’t used to seeing them at the same scale we do today. Diversity of writing styles was part of that, but I’d point to vernacular exposure as the larger component. We’re going to go through a period where we

I interpreted the comment you are responding to as “people want to do what they believe is the right work” rather than simply the mandated work (which they might fundamentally disagree with, directionally). When people have limited agency

What was your expectation? That your prompt would trigger a web search, first, before the introspection of past conversations and a training set recall? How did Sonnet 4.6 respond that was objectively better for your use case?

That ship has long sailed. You’re correct, but the author isn’t the one who “named the thing” in this case, they are just using the name commonly used to describe it. Multi-rotor drones have been called tricopters, quadcopters, hexacopters,

In some cases, I’m sure you are right. That said, the online communities which currently employ shadowban systems continue to use them. That tells me there’s a value greater than their implementation and operation costs. There is no perfect

A slur is rarely the problem. Trolls can (sometimes) add flavor to a community and keep things interesting. Mostly they can be an annoyance. I’m specifically referring to people who have seemingly made it their sole purpose to create as muc
