Let me grab my calculator and add up the time I have spent reading about model releases since Fable has been released. It seems they all place themselves relative to Fable. I'm sure that time has added up to far greater than 10 seconds

Seems they should be making it more clear they are not associated with Herdr. Just as I use a minimal harness (Pi) I appreciate the minimal features of Herdr. Much of the features this adds, I prefer to bring my own. In many cases, I let my

If everything basically rivals Fable, then why is everything still using it for comparison?

Interesting how the author compares the situation to smoking. Were any of the execs of the tobacco companies asked to step down because smoking was found to be harmful to health? My guess is they simply continued and adapted based on how th

I don't see how it makes sense to use models outside of Grok or Composer in cursor unless you like the tooling to such degree that you're willing to pay out the nose for access to OpenAI and Anthropic to use with that tooling. And

GPT gets the most out there, but creates interesting nuance that turn an idea into a more creative exercise. Claude is like a more grounded GPT but may miss the nuance. Gemini is my last pick, but does better than the rest for making someth

My understanding was that it was totally an experiment to create something that works like Cursor's Origin or whatever it's called. Just the idea of it is probably not something you would care about for your own usage.

I don't know about real successful. Since you mentioned Langchain, you could look at https://www.langchain.com/dcode which is a CLI harness build off Langchain deep agents.

Yeah, whatever it is, it's particularly bad at front-end from what I have been seeing.

I remember back in the day when you could apply this to Google search results. When I was freelancing, I had a number of people I worked with who would fire off fast questions, but they would still pay me for my time. Then I would return wh

Just skimmed the article, but the CF your employer used was probably around a lot longer than AI? There's parts of it that can bring everything down. Then there's parts of it that will bring down just what your team(s) put in a lo

I have found in my own experimentation, I create way more trash than I did before. If I'm 10X creating trash, then I'm WAY less productive creating the stuff that I actually use. I found a funny thing before. I'm in the 2100

This is super confusing. It's not supposed to have a Linux version and it's supposed to be only for Supergrok Heavy (during beta according to the docs) and yet the landing page gave me an option to download it for Linux and to set

The page design looks like it has Claude's fingerprints on it. Claude design is the new bootstrap.

Here's another article that explains the guy called in an expert who told him "at least $100K crashed through your roof." Doesn't mention if he actually sold it though, unless I missed it. https://www.nytimes.

I don't think we're far enough into this game to know what winning even looks like. If the US frontier labs are losing, it may have been their own missteps on handling such massive change of being the fastest growing apps ever. Un

Do you even get "answers" though? It's hard to explain, but AI mostly doesn't get the nuance of my thinking right. I'll read a response and right away know it's a non-answer for my purposes. If I get a "hi

The article is describing how every harness functions. If you're already using Codex, Claude Code, or Antigravity then you're already doing this. And you get a lot of usage. I generally don't hit my limits with GPT if I stick

I think the more interesting thing is to actually get Claude to stop saying it. Or to get an AI to do things you want, but more precisely. Ran into an issue the other day where I couldn't get a model to "just copy this and change

My solution to this is to dump it into an LLM and a prompt that roughly does something like... Hand wavy list just to get a general idea... 1) Give me a condensed summary 2) Is this adding anything to what we already have? (I save good arti

And speaking of technology, it would have been great to see the Phase Plasma Rifle at a 40 watt range make an appearance, if only by mention of name again.

Add me to the list of skeptics. 1) A lot of companies simply won't trust Chinese models 2) These companies will still trust a direct frontier provider over a non Chinese company hosting Chinese models. 3) Frontier model providers worki

Whenever I see the cost indicator in my harness while building some probably useless thing, I'm reminded that probably everyone else is doing the same thing. Spending loads of imaginary money (according to the harness, I spent $10 wort

I imagine at least part of the reason this doesn't make sense to you is because you're not a decision maker working at that scale. It made sense to someone at a high level. The calculations that person is doing is likely different

Yeah, punk was a bit of a rejection of the polish of the big bands of the time. In a sense, the "horrible" was sort of the point. And for the shock value. But did that really mean they were horrible? Probably everyone kind of suc
