I love the idea that a single user will have collected enough data to demonstrate to Anthropic a clear regression due to this change.

I almost wonder if Claude reads that it “keeps responses focused, brief, and concise” and interprets that as built-in behavior and concludes that it doesn't need to spend additional effort enforcing it, just as it doesn't need t

1. We don't need to connect every nook and corner with public transit. Each city having its own would be sufficient. 2. The US is sparse _because_ of cars: the space allocated for parking pushes things apart.

The models themselves have far from plateaued. Maybe someone finds a way to get a really capable model down to, say, 12GB of ram. Then we'd be in business.

If it switches mid conversation, this is a massive increase in token consumption because it has to re-read your conversation into cache, right?

Definitely — the language comes pre-tokenized!

Do you really care if someone forgot to format before committing? They can always squash and push locally if they need to.

I was very dismayed to find that the single serve maple syrup packets that I thought existed are instead just more corn syrup, which cost 21¢ per 1.4oz packet, or 15¢/oz. Meanwhile a jug of maple syrup is 56¢/oz and single serve p

How does this cause a point particle to accelerate towards the sun? Must be something about the gradient, but how does the gradient of time cause you to curve towards the sun?

5.5 is absolutely comparable to opus 4.7 (both on highest effort), maybe even better. It generally seems less lazy, faster, and writes code closer to what I'd write. The only downside is that for very very long tasks, it can kind of lo

I have definitely wished that Homebrew would not wait for all packages to be downloaded before pouring them. It's nice that downloads happen in parallel (didn't always used to be the case iirc), but it feels like the pouring could

Did you read the linked paper? Claude out-reasoned humans on a challenging (or at least, unsolved) math problem.

I think “the fifth revision of that URL routing library that everyone uses” is a much less common case than “crate tried to explore a problem space, five years later a new crate thinks it can improve upon the solution”, which is what Rust’s

Interesting, my sonnet 4.6 starts with the following: The classic puzzle actually uses *eight 8s*, not nine. The unique solution is: 888+88+8+8+8=1000. Count: 3+2+1+1+1=8 eights. It then proves that there is no solution for nine 8s. https:

Select all always appears if you have no text selected and never appears if you have some text selected. Insane UI decision by apple but that's how it is.

You can just type the text to find in the address bar — “find on page” will be the at the very bottom of the list of suggestions.

I agree, the x-axis labels are not helpful! Thankfully, the first example is “buttons with corrected icon spacing”, and the image on the right looks much better than the one on the left (a bigger difference in quality than in the other tw

Are accelerometers not sufficient for pose determination? I would assume they'd work as well as cameras if not better.

Why would this own a server? ls lists itself, but listing itself shouldn't cause it to run again? Where's the infinite loop that brings the server down?

I really like that Claude feels transactional. It answers my question quickly and concisely and then shuts up. I don't need the LLM I use to act like my best friend.

They do understand, that's why they're doing this. This is a fundamentally anti-fact administration — when facts aren't known, you can fabricate reality for the masses, which is what they want.

You are basically hitting on what has been referred to as high modernism, which promotes a level of confidence in science and technology that can only be maintained by eschewing all the inherent complexity of the world. The scientific metho
