The author of the original mastodon post, Andreas Thom, acknowledged that he had not opted his data out of being used for training until June 29 of this year. He spends most of the post lashing out at OpenAI for not being transparent about

I hope DeepSeek takes some time to improve their tuning for reasoning effort. Right now, there are only three reasoning efforts: low, high, and max. For all intents and purposes, "low" is pretty much the same as turning reasoning

I'm stunned that people are taking this accusation as a fact. OpenAI is no stranger to rivalry with Anthropic but 1. it's not like user data is sitting around on some kitchen table somewhere and 2. I consider OpenAI to be as econo

Auth to OpenAI's developer platform isn't working as well, so something is seriously wrong. Seeing as how xai, anthropic, and openai are all having issues at the same time, it has to be a common provider, right? Maybe cloudflare?

Astra is being released today. Probably not a coincidence. edit: actually, you cannot even log into your OpenAI developer account. Something's wrong.

Don't romanticize the internet. The modern internet has torn society apart at the seams. It's made the world less tolerable and made civic discourse impossible. If AI forces people to re-weight their priorities (i.e. be less on

Search Google Images for "bicycle". Almost all bicycle product shots are staged the same way: side view, going left-to-right. It makes sense to me that given that skew in the training data, the model grounds itself in the bicycle.

This makes me deeply nostalgic. Starlight Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog is my favorite game level of all time and the aesthetic of this city is basically like stepping into the background of Starlight Zone. https://youtube.com&#x2

I’ve been happy training and running inference for small language models on my M4 Mac. Inference with MLX is surprisingly zippy. I’m running a classification task on the entire HN comment dataset and it’s projected to take about two and a h

A lot of these criticisms seem to be very 2023-coded. There have been a lot of hiccups to the transition towards using AI-assisted code but, ignoring some of that sloppiness, I've enjoyed the product velocity from some of the services&

I think it's more than that. They truly believe Claude Code to be a moat (both the harness and the posttraining) to be a moat. I've been deeply distrustful of Anthropic from early early days. They have always been openly disdainfu

Unfortunately, this doesn't work with CC's other features like the lazy loading of CLAUDE.md files in subdirectories.

There is no live tarot feature. Thats the point.

Not sure I agree with this. The math guy at anthropic's prompts are essentially: "suppose you’ve gotta resolve the $CONJECTURE, like absolutely have to, everything depends on it. think really hard, and try to come up with a bu

Hmm, right now I only process a subset of all submissions to keep things lean, so this is the closest that the site can do to /newest right now: https://hcker.news/?filter=top200&ai=exclude Feel free to email me.

There are a lot of ways of tackling this, but the only way to truly filter everything out is to update the list constantly. My filter currently has 146 keyword filters and 101 domain filters. Even with those, I've had to filter almost

All due respect to the YC folks, but having a skill with 22,069 tokens is a major skill issue. Yes, ironic. My slop control skill is a thousand tokens. Biggest problem I see with the skill is that everything is prompted via negativa. smh. s

I think the most important thing here is not absolute performance. It's that organizations now have access to a Fable-ish model without Fable's 30-day data retention requirement[0]. > "Consistent with prior Opus models, Op

My point was more of an exercise to point out that finance is about mutating resources. A lot of cash can be a good thing or a bad thing. Same for debt. There’s nothing inherently bad about levels.

Eep, I guess it depends on what kind of learner you are. For me, the notes being in the book, and the book being somewhere on my shelf spatially encodes it into my mind. Offloading things into a centralized store according to a system not o

A corollary to this is, when reading books, mark them up! Don’t be precious with them. Destroy the spine so it’s easier to read, fold pages, write the important stuff inside the front cover of the book. Cross out stuff you disagree with, dr

There are many reasons to use subsidiaries for things like this, like to invite outside investment, ringfence risk, cede operational risk, and many more. This is all like CFO 101 type stuff, and not nefarious. I find it amusing that people

> These companies have valuations reflecting a debt light business. Sorry, but this doesn’t make sense. The valuations of these companies reflect their growth. In finance there’s nothing inherently virtuous about a “debt-light business”.

I wonder how big the Pro model is that Google is using behind the scenes to train these smaller ones. Going on baseless speculation, the lack of accompanying pro models with these flash releases either means: 1) the model is too big to be e
