It is too difficult to strictly prevent the model from being used for any unsafe purpose. The same thing can be used for completely different purposes as long as it is described differently.

Claude Code and Codex are my daily drivers, and I often run them side by side on the same task to compare. For me Claude Code gets something working faster, but I burn the 5h quota on the $200 Max plan really fast. Codex I tend to trust a b

>frontier models are more capable than the latest from DeepSeek. But is the capability difference enough to justify a 30x price difference? The contradiction here is that without frontier models, there'd be no foundation for models

I don't have a quantitative way to argue this, but my intuition says that for humans to build something that matches human capability across every dimension would require a breakthrough at the physical level — and such a breakthrough m

Like the artisans/craftsmen in many places (especially Japan), hand craft will always carry enduring meaning — machines ultimately can't replace everything humans shape with their hands. But historically at least, they can replace

I don't see how tokenmaxx makes any sense without an effective way to measure impact per token (though measuring impact is inherently hard). I can easily burn through the entire 5-hour quota of the 200 Claude Max plan within the first

Not sure how Brave is. I'm using its API on OpenClaw, and so far my experience with OpenClaw has been satisfactory — though search is only one part of the overall quality. I'd guess due to compute constraints, AI overview will str

Been using Cider for two years now. Early on I struggled, trying to use IntelliJ, and even tried the thin client version — but both are basically in maintenance mode. Cider is the de facto standard. It really is the best IDE in terms of int

"A rich aristocrat in a society of slave holders" is certainly one type, but there are many other types that still meet mainstream standards today, such as heirs to fortunes, tenured university professors, etc.

How do you iterate on the judge prompt? Is there an auto rater?

In my own experience, good engineering practices are still not easy to achieve. As a software engineer with three years of experience, I've been doing solo dev for the past few months. Currently, there is still a lot of the harness to

The ux is really bad. But the commenting, versioning, syncing functions for collaboration or cross-platform use are of high-quality. And that's actually Google vs. Apple.

Not sure. Without commercialization and ads, there might not be the free high-quality web apps from Google. Things have two sides. But the complexity of the internet should have far surpassed the level that even large corps could influence,

This is a wonderful ideal. Like some ancient scientists and philosophers, they don't have many worries about money and can pursue pure passion. This also seems like a key source of social progress -- diverse purposes and paths of explo

It's almost impossible to afford the usage-based pricing as a heavy user with multiple max and pro subscriptions. Seems like a bet that same-capability inference will keep getting cheaper on something like a Moore's law curve.

I've had several product ideas a week for years, all of them just sitting in Apple Notes. In the last month, I built three of them into a usable beta and I use all of them every day.

Same here. For me, this means a spec doc split into features/UX, technical requirements, and language-specific requirements, iterated before the model touches code.
