Isn't it more that the "Chinese models" are open weight?

Also, the system prompt in the article is supposedly for the web version, so I think the $$$ API version or providers that still allow third-party harnesses like OpenAI should have fewer limitations.

Now I'm really curious if they're actually plasma.

Many of the stations were built long after LCDs became the norm (the first parts of the Thomson-East Coast Line [1] only opened in 2021), so it's likely mislabelling on the website's part.

> My extended family had to replace perfectly good TVs three times because the new version of a streaming app did not work anymore.

Were they not able to just buy a separate dongle/Apple TV-esque device to use through HDMI?

From the article:

> In controlled offline evaluations, HydraFusion’s selective coding workflows matched or exceeded the evaluated Opus 5 baseline

Opus 5 (in practice) is not a good baseline to compare against.

I'm shocked that they chose to primarily compare against Opus 5 in all the article's charts. It's pretty disingenuous that they're claiming "frontier" quality, but didn't compare against Fable or Sol.

I have had the Codex/ChatGPT app installed for a few months, and can confirm that there's a 422.9 MB file named LibreOfficeDev.app in the above path.

More notably, I don't use Computer Use or any of the fancy features, just Codex for agentic coding.

I think what the parent commenter means is that the screws might not screw back the same way after, because that mirrors my experience with a lot of their furniture too.

Random but I have no idea how this comment of yours ended up dead. I ended up vouching for it.

> This will likely be the case with general purpose models unless we see some genre specific fine tunes.

Are we at the point in the hype cycle to go "there's a skill for that" yet?

There's a lot of writing that is meant to be read by humans.

Code's ultimate goal, on the other hand, is to be run by computers.

I made a conscious attempt to try to switch to Zen (built on Gecko/Firefox), but ended up switching back to Chromium-based browsers because pages just feel like they load faster with Chromium. :(

> "fill out this multistep immigration electronic travel authorisation form using my passport files saved in the folder"

It's both awesome and scary at the same time to realising that most AI these days can work on something like this that's official and tedious, and probably not screw up too much (or do better at it than some people with fat fingers).

> IMHO, the days when open source contributions are often positive signal for hiring are long gone.

After reading your comment, I had a thought that the key could be to separate random, drive-by open source contributions (which are easily gamed by pointing a bunch of AI agents at GitHub) from committing to maintain a small number of open source/community projects for the long term.

All the AI sheep are still using it, just like the webdev sheep before that.

From what I understand, the card-issuing banks get a cut of the merchant fees, but they're required to provide premium benefits like lounge access.

> In the US you have several legal safeguards that are not provided by debit cards. Fraud liability limitations, chargebacks, and so on.

These are available to Visa and Mastercard debit cards too.

But yeah, the UK has section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act.

> The thing I dislike about credit cards is payment is deferred by a month.

I like this. It means that I can earn a bit more bank interest on what I've spent.

Debit cards on Visa/Mastercard have chargeback protection too, but yes, the money leaves one's account until the chargeback is successful.

> Money is fungible and cash depreciates.

At least cash has the option of earning interest in a bank account, or getting invested in other instruments.

Miles can always be devalued by the airline. Some airlines like Singapore, Qatar, and United, even practise stealth devaluation by controlling the number of cheap "saver" seats released.

I think there are some regulations around this, because many card-issuing banks would love to use their crappy rates if they could.

> In fact, if you come across a merchant that accepts credit with a minimum purchase amount or tacks an extra fee, you can take the receipt and call the terminal owner (visa/MasterCard) and report it. The receipt has a terminal ID, and it turns out the likes of Visa get really pissed if merchants do that.

This also varies by country, but I think Visa/Mastercard relented on it in many jurisdictions.

In Australia, for example, merchants have been allowed to add on credit card fees everywhere, and their card readers automatically tack on the fee when they detect a credit card.

I'm sad that Opus is now considered "solid" and not on par with Sol, since OpenAI supposedly has "Astra" which I thought would be comparable to Fable.

It was "amazing" back when I first tried 4.6, but that's just my rose-coloured glasses speaking, I guess. I think I was one of the first few to call out Opus 5 for being hot garbage.

That was some great sci-fi (which I feel will eventually be real). Thanks for the link!

From the article:

> For comparison: the previous plan was expected to take at least five years and estimated to cost roughly $6M.

If that's an estimate from an LLM, those have always been way off for me. I'm constantly amazed whenever something that an agent estimates would take weeks ends up being completed in an hour.

Could be a psychological trick to make consumers think that they're buying an "improved" version.

Maybe it's a good thing they don't have real memory.

> And FedEx will have a word after they deliver it.

I don't understand this statement. Is there some reference I'm missing?

Creatives of any kind, for sure. Artists, illustrators, musicians.

How long do such batteries last?

I remember having to replace the lead acid battery in my UPS every 2-3 years, which seemed like a waste of money considering my country's power grid is fairly stable apart from the occasional blackout from lightning strikes.
