fair i guess. images are basically required if you want people to read your posts, and im not an artist, but fair i guess calling my whole site AI slop is a bit rude but mostly just wrong. I have put in a lot of work to my posts and my proj

The whole thing is a bit tongue in cheek. I don't have an actual moral opposition to custom system instructions...

it does seem to be moving in that direction. There were really specific things (large, complex json outputs) that gemini-2.5 flash was basically the only model that seemed capable of reliably for a long period. gpt-5+ has covered the usec

its not always that simple. dropping in a new model is trivial, but highly specific workflows may rely on specific _invisible_ aspects of a model. when that model gets deprecated, the workflow needs to be rebuilt/re-tuned to work with

LLMs absolutely do not have access to the same tools unless they're explicitly given access to them. Running on a computer means nothing. It sounds like you don't like LLMs! In that case, you may be more interested in our REST A

Humans are also bad at math! So we created calculators. LLMs should have the same access to tools to give them the best opportunity to succeed

They're building a moat with data. They're building their own datasets of trusted sources, using their own teams of physicians and researchers. They've got hundreds of thousands of physicians asking millions of questions ever

This is an interesting read, and while I support being nice to every_thing_ in principle. Most of the research into this actually shows that being mean yeilds better results

This looks pretty cool. I keep seeing people (an am myself) using claude code for more an more _non-dev_ work. Managing different aspects of life, work, etc. Anthropic has built the best harness right now. Building out the UI makes sense t
