Right. Steal the world's information and wrap it up as a set of numbers. Convince a bunch of billionaires that those numbers are worth a trillion. Then once you realize it's just another commodity and the competition is real, aim

Is this solely to prop up SPCX? Besides its following, does Cursor have any sort of moat? It's VS Code with a harness right?

This is incredibly cruel, and not surprising at all. On par with this administration- Goons pulled back because they're murdering innocent civilians at car stops? Chief goon steps up and says "put them back!" Then he takes to

Reserve status is based on confidence. The US can't bomb markets into trusting the dollar. They've already begun diversifying away from it.

They built their own benchmark and then trained directly against its scoring function.. seems to be the rage, but nothing convincing from the article alone.

This is my read too- if American companies start backing nonsense like this, they'll fall behind permanently. > My primary concern is the risk that authoritarian governments—not solely the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), although th

So company who stole stuff to make their stuff is mad because another company is stealing their stuff. And now a regime best known for lying to their own people is the one trying to convince me? Go, China!

That's the one murdering innocent civilians in the streets? That's the one locking up thousands and denying basic human rights? No. They're not the 'correct agency' for anything.

This isn't about "finding" fraud. This is about instilling fear, uncertainty and doubt.

Interesting generalization; that’s almost the opposite of my experience. A common hiring anecdote we share with people outside tech is literally: “A CS degree doesn’t teach you how to code.” For me, ~25 years ago in the UC system, it was al

Agreed, it seems to be working and it's nonsense. I don't know why you're being downvoted. "This information is too dangerous for you, so we'll just hold on to it.." Thanks big brother, super anthropic of you!

As an American, I'm deeply ashamed of m̶y̶ this country. I don't expect the damage to be undone within my lifetime.

Do we really need to keep slamming the grid and killing the planet for pseudonymous casino chips? Can someone please merge crypto with llm training/inference somehow?

Hey now! The man is _acing_ the multitude of cognitive tests that doctors keep giving him.

Agree on cause, disagree on solution. I'd lean more towards education than fornication. No judgement.

This makes sense. Facts cease to exist because you ignore them. I think Huxley wrote that.

I started coding AddonInteractive/AddonChat in 2001 shortly after graduating. A simple Java-based chat SaaS. When I felt it was good enough I put up a web site and started marketing. Within six months of starting development I had my f

4.5 works well for me too and avoids adaptive-dismissal, though anymore Codex is crushing them all. If 4.8 just brings us back to Opus circa February, it'll be a massive improvement.

Assuming a rational decision from this regime is an absurd and amusing thought to ponder.

The first time someone explained Docker to me I remember saying, "Oh, you mean a jail?". Not quite, as the article explains. :) kqueue was a huge win too. A huge thank you to the FreeBSD developers. I ran my first company for 15 y

Tant mieux pour eux. I suppose some added sovereignty is to be expected when your closest ally extorts, threatens annexation and slams you with tariffs.

The METR report continues to hold up. I would add "No Silver Bullet" to the reading list. Careful who you share this information with- better to roll with the kool-aid drinkers when they're holding the cards.

I think it's natural to lose enthusiasm over time when a joy becomes a job. "I don't care for coding new stuff. Everything I may need either already exists or is too complex to do on my own (and no, I won't vibe-code it,

IME, based on an in-house bench it's still good to about 20% on the 1M for 4.6 and 4.7 with a code base >50k loc. The trick I used before switching providers was to have it write a handoff when it hit ~18% of context and reset. Ther

I switched some time after Anthropic bricked their models with adaptive thinking. It's a legit mystery to me how people are still using CC professionally. Codex is far less frustrating and manages context better. It's also costing

I was fortunate to be taught by my father when I was younger. It may be an age/luck-of-the-draw thing, but check out "MILD"; it's the name for the simple technique that worked for me.

Yeah, fair. I should've specifically asked for CC/adaptive-thinking to be returned to a working state and not the model itself.
