I've switched off claude this week; the last week has been significantly degraded in ability, many more screw-ups.

This is why education used to start with rote memorization. Functional intelligence isn't abstract, it is based on useful information you can quickly recall.

Truth is what corresponds with reality.

grok4.6 is much better at knowable, consequential reality, then grok4.5 or claude. I hope grok4.7 will improve this even more.

Dude. Trafficking minors is bad. DNA literally can help establish family relationships.

They don't mention this, but one major reason for this is to validate claims of family units and prevent trafficking. This is, I suspect, a good thing. The article never states any downsides, other then nebulous claims. Yes, DNA is lik

What LLMs have shown me most, is: Alternatively most blog posts could have been paragraphs. Most books could have been single chapters. Most newspaper articles could have been tweets. That being said, most readers want you to hold your hand

TLDR: Ran grok in $HOME. Surprised agent read content of folder. On the other hand, I specifically had grok try hard NOT to read a known key in the project dir (it only saw the first part using a tool, to verify it was present). So there&#x

You're correct. But have you been on the other side: something you know is not perfect, but someone convinces you to try something, you agree, it isn't great but it gets used... then they leave and you are stuck with something tha

PG Wire proto 3 is my largest source of frustrations. I'm playing with a POC for a better wire protocol here: https://github.com/solidcoredata/pgwire4

What posgresql needs is a new wire format. (pgwire4) I've been slopping together a POC to probe the edges of what can be done as just an extension. So far I have a framed protocol with inline cancellation, named parameters, out-of-quer

China supports Chinese interests. So far, you think there is some universalism sentiment. You're wrong.

100% of this will be self-inflicted no javascript and 0% of the people who I am targeting. The Galaxy Brain isn't global usage, it is overlapping populations. Will any percentage of them care about any percentage of me? Put another way

I like everything I've read on this site so for, for it is also something I've been wanting. If the roadmap's "Web client and code review tools" could replace gerrit for me, this would be a easy switch. Moreover, it

I tried linear demo and many other task tracker/issue trackers. Many of them were just that: "fine" but then wanted a large pricing increase for OIDC connectors or similar. The core issue isn't hard so I built my own, na

Lee had a dedication to results, not ideology. Survival is not right; survival must be earned. They explicitly avoid multi-culturalsim and groom technically competent, detail oriented bureaucrats and politicians. In other words, they view r

Yes. Whole genome sequencing has... some limits. CYP2D6 for instance is an important gene address, yet is rather hard to sequence do to its many copies and minor mutations. If you don't use targeted copy callers, it can be hard to corr

Yes. Books. Family computer in the common area. A house phone. For a family, these are so much better.

This is great. Will be useful for data access methods! As for the detractors, from the first generics proposal this was called out as a "not now", not never. There were questions of implementation. They aren't a super large t

Gemini 2.5 and 3 can code, but they are also dumb. They don't model the world well. It's hard to use them for programming tasks. I haven't tried grok4.2 or grok4.3 yet for coding, but it wasn't up to the challenge as an

Elon has publicly stated that he cares a great deal about safety. He has stated that the only safe models are those which align greatest with truth, that which is in reality. In this, xAI has lived up, as it has proved to hallucinate least

Yes. GLM 5.1 is that good. I don't think it is as good as Claude was in January or February of this year, but it is similar to how Claude runs now, perhaps better because I feel like it's performance is more consistent.

I hope people realize that most of these bills are being introduced in blue states by Democrats. Republicans may not like porn, but they put the onus where it belongs, on the operator, not on the OS.

I continue to use gerrit explicitly because I cannot stand github reviews. Yes, in theory, make changes small. But if I'm doing larger work (like updating a vendored dep, that I still review), reviewing files is... not great... in git
