So, I have done a bit of research on this with the writeup+skills+scripts on my personal git: https://github.com/NickalasLight/codex-reasoning-bug-512-tok... I think it is very interesting that: A. Removing the sectio

It truly is impressive to me how good Nvidia has gotten at understanding 'Bubblenomics'. Why don't you buy my overpriced hardware, then let me use the overpriced hardware you just paid for in exchange for extremely overvalued

Yeah, I tried using it before the 'safety' blocks got too much for me. Its pretty good as an 'orchestrator' calling subagents and being the PR reviewer/tast tracker. Seems really not that much better for coding thou

OpenRouter would like a word. Also my in progress SaaS would like a word. Models are incredibly interchangable, just find best performance per cost and optimize harness and prompts, easy to have multiple configs for each model.

Just wait patiently for the chinese labs to inevitably distill Fable without the 'policy layer/neurons' and offer it for pennies. That one will be fun to see.

Yeah, and I also don't buy the semi-conspiratorial beliefs of some of my friends who think there is super intelligence somewhere being built. If fable is the best we got everybody still has some more time till the apocalypse I think.

Yes, I distinctly remember the recent past when the roles were reversed, and Anthropic was the kind good hearted startup trying to compete with big evil OpenAI corporation. Wonder how many times we get to see it flip back and forth before t

It is surprisingly half baked for something the company seems to be proudly charging my first born child and both of my kidneys for. Especially considering its all for the privilege of getting half way through a standard dev task before it

This feels like an article written at least 2+ years ago when 'AI' was still a bit more 'mysterious'. Mona barely thought about profit because you didn't update the many configurable levers to increase the code loo

Yeah, but that has literally been their business model from the start yes? Even now, after all the development, if you can somehow get Claude Fable to run without bricking due to the safety 'features', whatever it imitates is stil

Thanks for that, and credit to you for the idea, I quickly vibe coded (heh) a working minimal tool calling harness thats allows it to make multiple tool calls each turn. Currently its working pretty damn well all things considered: https:&

So I went ahead and quickly vibecoded a working harness with a barebones tool interface and some constraints on output (credit to noperator for the idea). github: https://github.com/NickalasLight/VibeHarness.git Its m

I have seen this tweet so many times on my timeline, you made me laugh, thanks.

Sublight speed Von Neuman probes (self replicating) are the kind of tech we are likely going to be able to produce ourselves sometime in the future. Which is tech that would allow complete saturation/exploration of the entire galaxy on

For me, I am also having an issue where the text is too large for the cards, causing large portions of text to not fit the screen and be unreadable. Interesting design concept, but appears to be buggy/not-tested.

The social isolation of this whole period has definitely had an effect on me personally. I'm assuming most people already have a strong social circle that they've been able to rely on during this, but as someone who moved to a new

I am in the same camp, though, drinking doesn't exactly expand the options that much, just so you know. The real problem is our generation doesn't really seem to have many places to actually meet and make friends with others our o

Any comment like this is immediately hit with a flood of "well I love working from home". I'm under 30 and absolutely miserable working from home. The lack of any social interaction with my coworkers combined with a personal

I think the real way to make politics less crazy is to create barriers to voting, actually. The real problem with our politics is that the more informed members of the populace make up their minds early on, leaving the lowest common denomin

It would be a pretty good idea if it didn't require such an insane amount of delta-v to deorbit a payload into the sun.

Various polls throughout the pandemic have shown that both zoomers and millenials have been terrible on average estimating their personal risk as well as the risk of the other age groups. Believing they have at least a 2% fatality risk, and

If by "best" we mean, most educated, most capable of solving engineering problems, "highest IQ" etc. (Which is how we generally define best in this context) Then yes. There used to be a big incentive for the smart scient

Low Dopamine and glucose in the brain leading to seizures. I wonder if taking adderall/stimulants as an external dopamine source + sugary drinks/food for the glucose could have helped with this.

As a conservative, its not that educated conservatives think society is "fair", in that their aren't people with more or less advantages. Rather, we accept that life is "fair enough", and true equality, in the sense

And, let me guess, your political opinion could be largely quantified as being left of center?

I believe it has something to do with someones level of "institutionalization", or perhaps, how comfortable they are with institutions and authorities themselves. A PhD holder is a PhD holder, at least in part, because they truste

The top level comments are arguing that the cause for this is due to the effectiveness of various health measures. The problem with this argument is we would expect for flu cases to continue to be reported in countries and US states where l

Could you explain why this is "literally so stupid" when this appears to be what is happening? If lockdown measures, social distancing, mask wearing, etc. were the true cause of the massive reduction in flu cases, we would expect

They don't need to claim ownership of the drama to write the paper, in fact, my first thought was that they would specifically try to avoid taking ownership and instead write a paper "discovering" the vulnerability(ies).
