MattRix··on Memdoor: A team of 5 Qwen3.8-27B models beats Fable 5 on LiveCodeBench Hard
Because they will start getting sued or arrested for harms the models they host cause. Anyone who thinks this won't happen isn't paying attention. And if you think "we'll just torrent them", let's just say the powers that be are gonna come down harder on this stuff than anything in the past. This will get taken a lot more seriously than torrenting a movie.
MattRix··on elect.horse
Ok and what did Infiniminer copy? What about games like Papers Please or Obra Dinn, or Blue Prince. Yes, games can have different influences, but the idea that everything is a copy is totally incorrect. Some stuff is way more unique and original than others.
MattRix··on elect.horse
For tools or utilities, maybe that's fine. For creative works like games, no way, I'm calling out rip offs every time I see them.
MattRix··on elect.horse
Hah I completely agree! I actually already had that on my task list, I'm adding that exact feature to both the webapp and mobile version this weekend.
MattRix··on elect.horse
hah didn't think my game would be listed there, but it was! https://fivefold.ca
MattRix··on elect.horse
lol we know it's by the same people as enclose horse, the issue is that it rips off gerrymandle
MattRix··on elect.horse
Yes but surely you can see that this is copying much more than just the general idea of a game about gerrymandering.
MattRix··on Parser Combinators
I get your argument, but I liked it! Something about isolating each segment makes it feel more readable. Perhaps in an ideal world every article like this would allow the reader to switch between "slideshow" and "single page" view, since the same content would work for both.
MattRix··on '500-hour' Order of the Sinking Star is as complex and exhausting as it sounds
Well... it's more about how many interesting permutations there are, not really just about length or quantity for the sake of big numbers. In other words: it's not about "look how many puzzles there are" it's "look how many INTERESTING puzzles there are"... which may seem like a small distinction, but when the claim of the puzzles being "interesting" is true, and being said in a genuine non-marketing way, it means a lot.
MattRix··on OpenSCAD the Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller
OpenSCAD is great and really not that hard to learn. I recently designed a 3D-printed version of my new mobile game to celebrate its launch: https://bsky.app/profile/owengoss.com/post/3mwr2mn5gw227
MattRix··on Carney's Bid to Make Canada an 'Associate Member' of the EU
*americans

(sorry just noticed the typo now lol)

MattRix··on Carney's Bid to Make Canada an 'Associate Member' of the EU
As a fellow Canadian I think you have a misunderstanding of what’s at stake here. There is potential to lose tens of thousands of jobs by agreeing to the bad deal the american’s proposed.
MattRix··on iPhone Duo
This is the first comment that showed for me, and it’s pretty useless. I don’t think it’s much better than the kind of comments you’re complaining about.
MattRix··on Sydney Marathon medal mistakenly depicts Munich stadium
The race has nothing to do with the stadium, other than running past it. They don’t have to get permission from anyone. Also, there’s no evidence that AI was involved, it could have just as easily been some designer googling for “Allianz Stadium” and illustrating the first thing that came up.
MattRix··on The August 17 outage
I have some big issues with this technology and the companies behind it, but I know of quite a few people personally who were not previously coders but have now been able to use LLMs to make their own custom software, solving real problems they had.
MattRix··on Codex Security
unfortunate typo lol
MattRix··on OpenAI reduces Codex Model Context Size from 372k to 272k
If you want stuff to be referenced regularly, why are you doing it in the conversation instead of just putting the documents in the directory and referring to them in AGENTS.md or whatever?
MattRix··on Lore – Open source version control system designed for scalability
This is a very long document that says nothing about chunking at first skim. If chunking is actually wrong, then just explain why, here. Wasting space is not actually a problem if it’s optimized for other purposes instead.
MattRix··on Humanity isn't ready for the coming intelligence explosion
I mean you wanted something objective, and they are. I don’t know why you’re being dismissive of them, they’re a huge element of what drives model development forward.

These companies aren’t just making stuff up, they really do want to improve the models, and the models really are improving.

MattRix··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
Yep, and the majority of them are children. It’s so horrific that it deserves to be brought up any time Musk is mentioned for the rest of his life.
MattRix··on Anthropic's Safety Superpower
Come on, these conspiracy theories make no sense, Anthropic isn’t even a publicly traded company.
MattRix··on Humanity isn't ready for the coming intelligence explosion
There are objective metrics, that’s what benchmarks are.
MattRix··on Humanity isn't ready for the coming intelligence explosion
The idea that progress is “slow” in the AI space is absurd. These are some of the fastest growing products and companies of all time. The models are still improving a surprising amount.
MattRix··on Anthropic's Safety Superpower
If you’re implying that the government is in on it and is doing this stuff intentionally in order to boost Anthropic, that’s ridiculous.
MattRix··on How to earn a billion dollars
Except he says nothing about the system, he only talks about the founder.
MattRix··on SpaceX's president is floating a Tesla merger as the company begins trading
That’s the stock, which has very little relation to how the company itself is doing, especially in Tesla’s case!
MattRix··on SpaceX's president is floating a Tesla merger as the company begins trading
no, that’s Nasdaq not S&P
MattRix··on SpaceX's president is floating a Tesla merger as the company begins trading
yup, and elon hinted at it in podcast interviews during the past year as well
MattRix··on WoofWare.PawPrint, a Deterministic .NET Runtime
I mean maybe I’m missing the point but it seems like it’s intended to be more of a tool for debugging race conditions, than a runtime you actually ship with. For that purpose I think using an LLM is fine.
MattRix··on Let's celebrate work that is 100% human-made
Do you think it would be a good thing if all music (for example) was made with AI and not by humans? What a lot of people in tech right now don’t seem to get is that art is about how it transforms the artist, not just the final product.
