Fable is insanely annoying. It treats me like an incompetent, suggesting when something is in my expertise that I'm actually wrong. And then it will simply refuse to engage or do what's aske…

Yeah, this is correct. There are so many large multi-trillion dollar companies coming to IPO, which if your are passive index holder and you are trying to track the market it is correct for these comp…

He created Django, what do you mean he's not an engineer? Also 'low-effort??' his posts are extremely in-depth, clearly very thought through with a significant amount of time and energy…

It is more than just books published pre-2022, but I've noticed that it is necessary to buy books __printed__ before 2022. Recently I've noticed aggressive misspellings and misquotations in …

Wow - Google paid a couple billion dollars to bring Noam back. Really impressive by OAI if this reporting is accurate!

Yeah I know some of my team members have invested a lot of time in this. Could definitely be worth chatting with them on what improvements could be made here. We're starting to deprioritize our c…

Interesting. We definitely have long-running agents where certain preferences are key. However, some of the preferences are likely going to be shared universally across our customers. Is there some wa…

I'm curious who the ideal customer of this should be. If we're a startup with our own harness, are we a good fit? What would qualify us or disqualify us from being a good user?

Holy shit, I cannot believe this is an actual belief people currently hold. We fought a war for this amendment.

This is like saying - 'I don't understand why anybody would ever buy a pizza from a store. All you have to do is get some flour, water, tomato sauce, cheese, mix the flour and water together…

Sorry, I think you mean abiding*. But laws are not some moral edicts handed down by god. They can and often are wrong or seriously misguided. Laws can and should be broken if and only if the agent at …

No it was Dan Cane. He’s gone on to found a second decacorn called ModMed. Truly one of my role models.

Holy shit this is horrible. It really shows the true cost of having a disciplined public society. People love to hate on SF, and the homelessness. But I think it’s a society that prioritizes individua…

One of my mentors created Blackboard. It used to be very very good, but he sold it to private equity, and they immediately fired all of the customer support and developers, 3xd prices overnight leadin…

I think merging them into either this thread, or the System Card makes the most sense to me.

I asked claude to decipher this and it refused. I asked gemini and it was permissible. Very interesting to see ROT-13 banned via Anthropic as a 'prompt injection' risk.

Anecdotes __are__ data. How much weight you ascribe to it as being representative is different. But you cannot disqualify it as 'not data'. It is usually a leading indicator of what could po…

This almost certainly is. I fear that Claude is likely being attacked by foreign (domestic?) adversaries.

Wow - glad they updated fast. Feel like incident reports are notorious for not updating fast. Kind of impressed tbh.

Such a dipshit administration. I hope California secedes from the union to protect our champions.

Google makes over $1bn/day. $68mm is literally an hour's worth of revenue to them - so yes pennies.

No - because the AI will be super human. No human even at $1mm a year would be competitive with a $100k/yr corresponding AI subscription. See people get confused. They think you can charge __less…

Yeah SF is 10x every other place in earth. People that think things are comparable have never lived here.

Why is this being hidden off of the main HN pages? There are clearly enough points for it to be significantly up weighted. I don’t understand the censorship.

I think this is an open question still and very interesting. Ilya discussed this on the Dwarkesh podcast. But the capabilities of LLMs is clearly exponential and perhaps super exponential. We went fro…

Why is this the case? I don't understand, can somebody explain the logic to me here?
