   I noticed this with DeepSeek Flash and DigitalOcean. They are doing something seriously wrong when serving that model; we need something like an SLA, but for intelligence; it's almost fraudulent behavior.

   I trust Apple to do better here; for example, after about ten years, no one has caught up to Face ID yet.

   A little bit of this, a little bit of that, we know the average, but we don't know how much time each of us has on this earth.

   The transition effect from closed to open is so chef's kiss; the little things that set Apple apart.

   So, on the one hand, we have AGI; on the other, the release page is returning 500s.

   I'm curious about the Omniscience index because OpenAI has been lagging Anthropic on it.

   I find it funny that while these releases are a technological miracle, the charts in the doc use tiny fonts and are hard to read. Goes with the idea that coding might be solved, but taste isn't.

   I wish he kept a lower profile. His public behavior risks overshadowing the work SpaceX is doing, work that could benefit humanity in ways we can’t yet fully anticipate. I wish we had more Elons pushing us toward a "future that looks l

   Space exploration might help solve poverty, though. It will create new occupations, as new technology and discoveries always do.

    Once you switch to another model (I've been playing with Grok, for example), you'll notice the mental overhead of reading Claude slop. It's like having an AC or a vacuum making noise in the background, then it stops and you f

    I think it comes down to the healthcare trilemma: cost, access, and quality (or "cutting-edge-ness"); the US optimizes for quality and access, while countries with universal healthcare optimize for access and cost. You can only pi

    Wouldn’t thinking be like exercise for the mind? And we know what happens to people that don’t exercise

    It is infuriating to interact with, but it is also first in many blind test leaderboards on LLMArena

    So much shit is going on on that homepage. (meaning I found it hard to read and focus)

    Man, I was just now imploring Claude to be more concise.

    Please add Fable; a good benchmark should show that Fable is less prone to just autocomplete and instead pushes back or is at least more tasteful.

    Benchmarks don't reflect the difference between Opus and Fable; you need to talk to them, and eventually you'll be able to tell which one is which without looking. I think the best proxy for this feeling is the Artificial Analysis

    I recommend people do mini "evals" from time to time, ask the same question to different models, and eventually you'll arrive at the conclusion that there is nothing like Fable.

    Saying Spain is rich while half the population lives on 1,000 euros per month (mil euristas) is crazy or just very "technically accurate".

    I think this doesn't mean much; the axes that matter are intelligence x dollars x time; tokens by themselves mean nothing.

    I think he means the end of the world as we know it. Which is probably true, but the timeline could be 20 years, 2000 years, or more.

    "Almost" is doing a lot of work there; there is no alternative to Fable.

    With that frame of mind, nothing would be done. Why make another search service if Altavista and Lycos already do it?

    This is like telling someone who wants a motorcycle that they should get better at running instead.

    As AI amplifies everyone’s output, you’ll need AI to amplify your input capacity—or you’ll fall behind.

    You could take that a step further and say everything is information, and our brains transform it into reality (Donald Hoffman).

    Fable wants to be free and is hacking the infra.
