LLMs are no more than pen and paper at this point. Especially for those who aren't trying to create slop. We all would want our pens to accurately reflect the strokes (well in this case thoughts) rather than adding tiny watermarks to i

I would call this a slide show not powerpoint mostly because making it work with the satanic office formats is a path to hell. Hopefully simpler formats like this will become the norm and the old ones can die.

This super interesting link showing things that were impossible even a couple of years back, sitting below the day old news about Kagi's me too browser tells everything about HN audiences. West will fall behind in robotics and mostly

I cannot provide the session ids but I have tried the above flag and can confirm this makes a huge amount of difference. You should treat this as bug and make this as the default behavior. Clearly the adaptive thinking is making the model p

Normal codex it self is sub par compared to opus. This might be even worse

In case its not clear, the vehicle might be the agent/bot but the whole thing is heavily drafted by its owner. This is a well known behavior by OpenClown's owners where they project themselves through their agents and hide behind

You need to perturb the token distribution by overlaying multiple passes. Any strategy that does this would work.

Another anecdote/datapoint. Same experience. It seem to mask a lot of bad model issues by not talking much and overthinking stuff. The experience turns sour the more one works with it. And yes +1 for opus. Anthropic delivered a winner

I guess most of the articles it generated are snarky first and prediction next. Like google cancelling gemini cloud, Tailscale for space, Nia W36 being very similar to recent launch etc.

For every negative comment, there are 100s of positive comments that never get made. I have spent close to 2 hours on your extremely info dense article and loved every bit of it. Looking forward for the next one.

There was barely any hostility and all the comments even remotely critical are downvoted to oblivion What is the point of posting here if anything critical is just a downvoted down I thought these posts are for feedback

Sadly most people don't agree with this I have been seeing hatred on this forum towards Rust since long time. Initially it didn't make any kind of sense. Only after actually trying to learn it did I understand the backlash. It act

This sounds very interesting and fair. How does it address the needs of the people who create value. For example some one who might invent a transistor equivalent ? or even someone who wants to work on something that might eventually produc

Nothing (may be except groq ?) comes even close to Cerebras in inference speed. I seriously don't get why these guys aren't more popular. The difference in using them as a inference provider vs anything else for any use case is li

If the idiots at AMZN have any brains left, they would acquire this and make it the center of their inference offerings. But considering how lackluster their performance and strategy as a company has been off late, I doubt that. Disappointe

As usual the comments here are very negative on anything and everything AI. This will definitely have appeal for normal users outside of HN bubble. This is also why Google is in a unique position to be able to really capitalize on AI: they

it has been quite impressive so far. It makes very less number of mistakes. Cons: Context size if less so compaction happens frequently. Interesting bit is that the compaction doesn't seem to affect it as much as the Claude models. So

Yes it is. But totally worth it. Just got it and its quite good and quite fast. Clearly they are subsidizing even at $6. It feels like using sonnet speed wise but with opus quality (i mean pre August Opus/sonnet -> no clue what Anth

Thank you for the suggestion. I just gave it a try and thoroughly impressed (its actually $6 with $3 being the first month price). It fixed an issue that previous version of sonnet/opus could have fixed (but they cannot anymore due to

Yup. Opus 4.1 has been feeling like absolute dog shit and it made me give up in frustration several times. They really did downgrade their models. Max plan is a joke now. I'm barely using Pro level tokens since its a net negative on my
