That's a very interesting idea for a benchmark!

They're being trained by a lot of repetitions of one-shot bugfixes and feature implementations. If they don't have to maintain code over the long term they have no incentive to not take the easy win with lower immediate risk and

Probably stole it from Tesla... :)

In other words, "Look how she was dressed, she was asking for it." This argument is BS, it has everything to do with Anthropic's resistance to the DoD's strongarm tactics in trying to force their desired contract terms o

More likely inspired by Asimov's names (R. Daneel, etc.) from his Robots stories.

My father-in-law died of pancreatic cancer three months after diagnosis. It is a horrible disease, not least of which because it’s difficult to diagnose. By the time they get a clear bead on it, in many cases, it’s stage four and already ra

It's still there. You can use up to half your Max capacity on Fable, then you have to downshift.

Nothing said that this candidate was actually hired by Anthropic, just that he or she applied.

I get a lot of mileage using Fable to spec, then Sol to review the spec, then Fable to plan, then Sol to review the plan, then Fable to implement, then Sol to review the implementation. It's a lot of steps, but a great boost in qualit

Stars! was awesome, many fond memories of play-by-email games of that...

In the late 80s, a friend of mine broke up with his girlfriend via email while they were both sitting in the same computer lab.

What do folks think of Hefferon's _Linear Algebra_?

I don’t think it’s absurd. We’ve created these things, however alien the structure, with as much human text as we can scrounge up and jam into them. Text is an imperfect distillation of the human experience, but it doesn’t surprise me that

"Beads is the best. If you're not using Beads, you're failing. Gas Town, which I have just told you was a failure, was built on Beads. Gas City, which also failed, was also built on Beads. Wheelhouse, which I'm worki

If you wouldn't mind sharing, what's your Comfy workflow for this? I have the same video card setup and would like to give it a shot.

I don't buy it, although I agree with GP's larger point about other strengths. Printing presses are about exact duplication of writing. The internet is a higher layer printing press. LLMs substitute for (some of) the human effor

Nice! Not 100% sure, but it reads very human to me. The only LLM-ism that jumped out at me was "An honest note before we continue", but that was the only time the word "honest" appeared. If it's not human-written

Well, this inevitable flamewar will be a nice change from the pro-AI / anti-AI comment threads, at least...

There's big money in it, so of course there's going to be a huge PR push to cast it as a great moral and societal good. The thing that gets me is that the rationalists who were such outspoken proponents of prediction markets (look

Sure! I use an orchestrator main agent whose only job is to run subagents through the workflow process I've defined. Part of that workflow is to invoke a review subagent at particular points to check the spec, the implementation plan

Subagents whose only job is to review the actions of your other agents for rule compliance? It works reasonably well for me in complex workflows using Claude Code.

And to note, the law in question is from the 1800s -- hardly something novel Wisconsin is doing.

The book clearly and repeatedly makes the point that immersion in ubiquitous computing made the younger generation smarter and quicker than their forebears. Miri was 13 and Juan was, what, 9? Both were depicted as running rings around the

Do you really think that if a Chinese model had achieved a significant math breakthrough that it wouldn't be trumpeted to the global media? The "Deepseek moment" was great for China; this would be the same.

Well, an oracle except for that part in the same book where unlimited access to the internet made all children prodigies self-motivated by their love of learning.

The fully loaded cost of employees at that salary level is likely over $100K. You may still be right on the relative expenses, but you can't just look at the top-level salary line.

Sure, but the original comment said "living out" those fantasies.
