SoKamil··on Incident with Pull Requests, Issues, Git Operations and API Requests
No, they didn’t rebuilt everything in React and current sluggishness of page loads is not related to React.

SoKamil··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
I hate that it confidently claims something based on a single Reddit/forum comment. This happens very often and it’s often wrong.

Spam filters.

As weird as it seems I think this is Musk’s best shot at winning over Altman. He has personal vendetta.

The first one is the Claude iOS app uses and it seems to perform okay and has the ability to select text and stream stuff.
SoKamil··on Apple, Intel have reached preliminary chip-making deal
This is about FABs and not chip designs. Imagine a parallel universe where Apple was sourcing AMD chips (they actually did for graphic cards) and then went to TSMC to whom AMD is also a customer.

Intel is both at the same time, AMD and TSMC.

SoKamil··on Refusal in Language Models Is Mediated by a Single Direction
No wonder this data is in LibGen.
SoKamil··on Opus 4.7 knows the real Kelsey
That’s not feasible. Apparently only SOTA models present this behavior. Having cutoff date at paper publication significantly hinders its capabilities. Besides that, try to convince anyone to spend millions upon millions of dollars to train a model with primary goal of possibly being able to deanonymize one person.
SoKamil··on Opus 4.7 knows the real Kelsey
Luckily for Nakamoto, there have been so many attempts at deanonymizing that I bet prediction is too contaminated with noise.
SoKamil··on Ghostty is leaving GitHub
What? React has nothing to do with current state of affairs. In fact, React on GitHub currently exists in mere islands, i.e. in Projects and recently in Pull Requests. Most of the frontend is still Web Components[1] paired with Turbo[2] for hot reloading. GitHub is still as slow even with JavaScript disabled, try it yourself. Backend just serves stuff really slow. In fact, there is an alternative GitHub frontend (no affiliation) that feels snappier and is written in React.[3]

With that said, Mitchell complains about outages. These started directly after Microsoft acquisition[4] and are attributed to migration from AWS to Azure.

I’m doing mobile app development, it is about how much it takes to get submission approved and get significant amount of users.
SoKamil··on Claude Opus 4.7
> Usually a ground up rebuild is related to a bigger announcement. So, it's weird that they'd be naming it 4.7.

Benchmarks say it all. Gains over previous model are too small to announce it as a major release. That would be humiliating for Anthropic. It may scare investors that the curve flattened and there are only diminishing returns.

SoKamil··on How We Broke Top AI Agent Benchmarks: And What Comes Next
The more research on this topic is created, the more knowledge how to game them will be stored in future training data. And since it comes from university, it is ranked higher in data corpus. It sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy.
