I really truly honestly am not sure what to make of this result from $20M in compute, 10K+ parallel agents (smells like brute force), and a pre-existing approach that was already bearing fruit. I know the models are good---I use them every

To be fair, I don't expect anything electronic to survive going through the wash unless it has hardcore waterproofing (eg a dive computer). I was pleasantly surprised by the way my airpods kept working. I don't remember whether my

Some people claim Astra is significantly better than anything else and significantly more token-efficient, and others (like you) say it's meh and way more expensive to boot. I really don't know what to think. Kind of a tangent,

+1. I've used the recent Gemini Flash models and I've used Opus 5, and the latter makes the former look like a box of broken crayons. Unless Flash 3.8 and/or this Muse Spark model are a much bigger deal than people seem to th

IMO it will work better in some contexts than in others. If rhythm isn't a concern then yes, it could always be omitted.

Well, I disagree! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49527581 It's fine in the sense that when a bad writer writes something I can usually understand what they're trying to say.

Emdashes and commas aren't interchangeable, and your example there demonstrates one great reason why. The emdash establishes a discontinuity rather than one thing flowing into another, which is why the tomatoes don't merit one but

You seem to be fixated on picking apart the wording of my original comment, so let me help you understand it: > There are obviously few or no hard technical blockers preventing Valve and the Linux community from supporting any game that

Yes, I know what an emdash is---I've been using them in my writing since long before they came to the fore of the AI writing conversation. Anthropic's use of the emdash in the fragment I quoted is clumsy and reads poorly relative

So your claim is that it's actually impossible to implement "efficient" anticheat on Linux? That's interesting. But it's not the same thing as "the cost of overcoming this technical blocker is presumed to be hi

Given how dogshit Windows 11 is, and how dogshit the Xbox-branded apps have consistently been in the last 10 years or so (it's genuinely impressive how bad they are), it's hard to see why a new Microsoft thing wouldn't have a

Same. There are obviously few or no hard technical blockers preventing Valve and the Linux community from supporting any game that runs on Windows, unless it's been specifically engineered to block Linux, and publishers of those games

There's a segment of people who are into customizing their desktop environment as a hobby and end in itself. Personally I've never really been into it, and these days I have a broad and revolving set of machines I have to use, so

I don't think this is true at all. If you don't have AI then either you build what you need to build and learn how to do it along the way, or you build nothing and learn nothing. There is no option to build something but learn not

My understanding based on reading first hand accounts is that very few people who tried for a retail allocation got anything close to what they asked for. Total retail allocation was apparently around 20% of the IPO. Hard to get a few share

Worth noting that it actually opened at $150 on public markets. It's kind of funny how we call the $135 figure the "public offering" price when there is really nothing public about it. Maybe it made more sense in some past er

Yeah. IMO anyone arguing (explicitly or otherwise) that these facilities don't come with enormous negative externalities for people unlucky enough to live near them is either ignorant or being disingenuous. There is no need to lean on

On a certain level you're right, but in practice you're mostly wrong. There is nothing exotic about the electronics found on the average FPV drone, but hobbyists today rely on being able to buy (e.g.) integrated electronic compone
