Funniest thing about it is the lame attempt to avoid detection by replacing em dashes with regular dashes.
comment
Yep. For the past month I’ve been doing this thing where every time I need something from AI, I give Opus and Codex the same prompt. Opus is just better by a wide margin, especially on complex tasks. …

Iranian regime is neither strong nor stable though. Or did you miss the recent round of nationwide protests that led to a desperate brutal crackdown?

The article is trash. The only reason it got voted to the front page is because the author is salty about AI.

You seem to be confused. Your own link shows that California state sales tax is the highest in the country. Look at the blue bars.

>> Maybe it goes without saying, but the reason you don’t mind the bus in Europe is not because you are European but because the European buses are nicer. Actually I think it is both. Car cultur…

Very HN-like comment. Really channels Dwight. Made me smile, thank you.

Software firm, small, privately held.

Yes. We needed to do a huge migration project that would otherwise have taken us six months and/or cost more than $100k. With the help of Opus 4.5 we finished it in three weeks for a total token …

Nope, as the article notes, it is actually almost never enough because it does not stand up to legal scrutiny. And for good reason: there's no way to conclusively prove that the platform actually…

Okay but like, some people don't live the types of lives where they could benefit from an assistant, either a real one or an AI one. I'm one such person. My life is pretty simple. I don'…

I mean, yes, some people have real issues with delegating tasks to others. Those people probably wouldn't get much benefit from an... AI assistant. That doesn't "illustrate your point&q…

Damn son, you sure sound salty!
comment
Not to mention, the whole point is to not end up with a bunch of one-off Python scripts for every little thing that occurs to you, right?
comment
The "feels like" metric is more closely tied to human stress and safety than raw temperature. In cold weather (wind chill), wind strips away the thin warm layer of air next to your skin, so …
comment
In the vast majority of contexts I don’t want “novel” and “interesting” implementations, I want boring and proven ones.
comment
>> No? Because I wouldn't give it access to those things. Not everyone is like that. In fact, OpenClaw's true "power" is unlocked when the user gives it full access. That…

>> Security vulnerabilities are bad but the blast radius is limited to the person who gets pwnd No? Via prompt injection an attacker can gain access to the entire machine, which can have things …
comment
The 2-5% margin makes a much bigger difference when it comes to complex problems.
comment
>> Sure, it's cheaper, but if so, then just make Opus 4.6 cheaper? That makes no sense. People are willing to pay for Opus 4.6 so why would Anthropic make it cheaper exactly?
comment
This study spans 3 years, so it goes back to ChatGPT 3.5 era. Not sure how valid it is, considering the breakneck speed at which everything moves.
comment
>> All the kids already wanted be influencers, ironically turns out that's one of the safer career paths when AI is factored into the equation This is quite false. It is trivial to generate…
comment
I don't think that's the moral of the story at all. It's already challenging enough to review the output from one model. Having to review two, and then comparing and contrasting them, w…
comment
Every time someone suggests Codex I give it a shot. And every time it disappoints. After I read your comment, I gave Codex 5.3 the task of setting up an E2E testing skeleton for one of my repos, using…
comment
What does this even mean? Are you disputing the fact that AI labs are competing with each other because they are funded by nation-states?
comment
Bashing studies for having now N is common because it’s the easiest thing for non-scientists to criticize when they don’t like a study’s findings. Scientists, on the other hand, know that low N does n…

>> The thing I keep seeing firsthand is that automation doesn't eliminate the job - it eliminates the boring part of the job, and then the job description shifts. No, not necessarily. There…

Around 250k here. The AI does an excellent job finding its way around, fixing complex bugs (and doing it correctly), doing intensive refactors and implementing new features using existing patterns.
