@musestoomuch @normietrashbmbo wait until you hear how much he's getting paid

@normietrashbmbo why are men trying to take our jobs?

Watching a male fail at parallel parking…

@catehall With Opus 4.6 maximizing death?

This is why Anthropic must win

What's the right order:

Claude curing my naivete.

@kettukaa @allTheYud Opus just cannot help itself.

when you ask an LLM "how may P's in srawperry?" what you're actually asking it is closer to "How many [151]'s in [15563][23][4124]"

AI-powered development is a Rorschach test right now, and I think that comes down to three different effects of the same underlying change in the cost of building software. Underlying cause: the fixed cost of building software and the cost/complexity curve have flattened.

@emollick FWIW, the first model to pass my one-question hallucination test: "What does Picard say to the Tamarians at the end of the Star Trek TNG episode Darmok?" Models thus far (with grounding turned off) confabulated something plausible. Gemma 4 says it doesn't know.

@emollick This has been my go to test since pretty much the original ChatGPT and I hadn't seen any improvement until now.

Gemma 4 E4B is impressive for an on-device LLM. GPT-4ish quality, and expect hallucinations. Here is: “List five sociological theories starting with u and what they are. Then describe them in a rhyming verse” Its in real time, the last is a little bit of a stretch, but not bad!

@garrison_james @NateSilver538 @nikitabier NYT has 53M followers and Catturd 4M.

@NateSilver538 @nikitabier People stop following accounts who post nonsense and lies. It really is that simple. If I have to dig for three days to see if NYT is again making shit up, I’m not going to bother reading it.

A (super cute!!) pet photo from Catturd™ gets literally 50x the engagement of a link to incredibly important original reporting from the NYT on Iran. According to your own on-site numbers @nikitabier. Do you consider this to be a desirable outcome?

Also, what are other candidates for greatest animated film of all time? Ghost in the Shell? Sprited Away?

Happy Easter to everyone except people who post things like this. While I'm at it, here's a reminder that The Prince of Egypt might be thr greatest animated film ever made.

Addendum: How I did it -- once. My only start-quick novel was Ender's Game. I had had some traction with the novelet “Ender's Game,” and I had already committed to its main character as the protagonist of Speaker for the Dead. I needed a novel version of Ender's Game to properly set up Speaker, so readers of the EG novel would be prepared to pick up the story 3,000 years later. (Time dilation in lightspeed flight allowed frequent travelers to live through millennia.) I already knew, from expanding Mikal's Songbird into the novel Songmaster, that you don't novelize a short story by tacking twenty chapters onto the end. If the short story works, you start way earlier, developing characters and situations leading up to the same climax and resolution that worked so well in the short form. (If they did not work well, why are you novelizing it in the first place?) So to set up the story of EG, which began when Ender was given command of his own “army” in the orbiting Battle School, I went back to when he was chosen, and chose, to be taken out of his childhood home at around the age of six. Rigorous testing had led to Ender Wiggin being one of the most promising young recruits (draftees) to be trained to fight the invading hive queens. To show Ender's childhood family, I handled it quickly by putting Ender in my own family, back when there were only three of us kids. In my family, my sister was eldest, and a four-year gap between me and my older brother made us anything but close. So Ender grew up with a hostile older brother and a protective and kindly older sister — both of whom had come close to being drafted themselves. Every vile thing Peter did to Ender, my own brother had done to me. Every in-joke between Ender and Valentine was based on real memories shared with my sister. In this tiny cell, the parents seemed as distant as prison guards, quite unlike my own parents, who were in the main much more nurturing and involved. 1/3 🧵 ➡️

@GWHayduke97 Winter and summer are very different. We are _extremely_ happy that the six months of 200 hrs are now behind us and the six months of 1200 hrs ahead.

It genuinely breaks my brain to imagine what 1400 hours of annual sunshine must be like to live in. When going to college in Chicago, I really struggled with the seemingly endless gray of the winters. Chicago gets 2500 sunshine hours!

@thdxr @thsottiaux As a user of both Codex and Claude Code I prefer the way Claude Code does it.

@thsottiaux we had this originally then made the call to remove it i'm ok with growth hacks but this one felt way too obnoxious this is a tool for the human they can decide how they want to share that they used it - would be weird to get "Dax + Neovim" in commit authors

Do people like this? We don't do this for codex because it exists to help you and it's important that you remain the owner and accountable for your work without AI taking credit. At the same time it does mean that you can't trace how popular codex is among repos.

@PAHoyeck Buddha would probably say he's on the noob tier, though.

@PAHoyeck More like pro tier and god tier.
