Well previously lazy contributors simply would never have made a PR because it was too much work. Now they can have an LLM make a PR with virtually no effort at all.

It’s obviously an imperfect rule, and maybe it’ll change over time. But I am just saying that I understand why open source maintainers are doing this.

There is just no possibility for them to review all the low effort AI slop being thrown their way. Yes, some of it is going to actually be very high quality, but you don’t know that until you review it, which is the whole issue.

Why review thousands of lines of LLM generated code from some random person you don’t know when you could use an LLM yourself to do the same thing, except with probably a better design and more thoughtful approach?

Maintainers should get to spend their time developing stuff, not just reviewing low effort PRs. The flood of LLM code is changing the balance for the worse for maintainers, and I can totally see why they’d just want to ban it.

Just curious, what’s wrong with Azure?

How long do you figure it’d take to solve the problem yourself?

I don’t see anywhere that it’s something they specifically decided not to support. Probably they just haven’t gotten around to it yet? Multithreading is notoriously difficult to get right.

Are you suggesting that governments shouldn’t require safety features because car manufacturers might implement them badly?

Can we have one thread about Claude without people trying to shovel Caveman?

Much of the token usage is in reasoning, exploring, and code generation rather than outputs to the user.

Does making Claude sound like a caveman actually move the needle on costs? I am not sure anymore whether people are serious about this.

To me, caveman sounds bad and is not as easy to understand compared to normal English.

Would it be possible to increase the cache duration if misses are a frequent source of problems?

Maybe using a heartbeat to detect live sessions to cache longer than sessions the user has already closed. And only do it for long sessions where a cache miss would be very expensive.

Running businesses and dealing with customers can be a major pain. There’s a lot of soft work in any business on top of the technical work.

Why bother with all that when you can simply charge an extortionate rate and customers will pay it anyway because it’s still profitable?

New companies can enter this space. Google’s competing, though behind. Maybe Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, or Apple will come out with top notch models at some point.

There is no real barrier to a customer of Anthropic adopting a competing model in the future. All it takes is a big tech company deciding it’s worth it to train one.

On the other hand, Visa/Mastercard have a lot of lock-in due to consumers only wanting to get a card that’s accepted everywhere, and merchants not bothering to support a new type of card that no consumer has. There’s a major chicken and egg problem to overcome there.

Gigawatts seems like more a statement of the power supply and dissipation of the actual facility.

I’m assuming you can cram more chips in there if you have more efficient chips to make use of spare capacity?

Trying to measure the actual compute is a moving target since you’d be upgrading things over time, whereas the power aspects are probably more fixed by fire code, building size, and utilities.

Who says it works if the “author” isn’t thoroughly testing and reviewing it?

People who do this want the fun part of pretending they’re implementing a feature without actually putting in the hard work it takes to make something for real.

They want the repo maintainers to do all the hard, boring parts while they have fun. As if maintainers of open source projects don’t have enough thankless work on their plates. Good luck with that!

True, but that doesn’t invalidate what I said about the vast majority of sites that aren’t globally known, prestigious news companies that people are willing to pay an expensive subscription for.

Most publishers of content online are ad supported and struggling, and I want to make sure I’m contributing to their revenue somehow.

I don’t feel bad about blocking ads on sites I pay for though.

I mean yeah, you pay for the internet. But many sites are free to use only due to ads.

Such as news and magazine sites, many of which are actively dying due to a lack of revenue.

I personally wish these sites could all switch to paid models, because I also don’t like ads.

But absent that, I’d like to support the sites I use so that they don’t go out of business.

That’s a starting spot, but how about some testing and benchmarks?

Where’s the value added if the person just tells Claude to do it and then submits a PR?

The maintainers may as well vibe code it themselves if that’s all the work the would-be contributor is going to put into it.

Imagine trying to launch fighters when there are explosions on the deck from swarms of drones. And of course the fighters themselves could be hit and destroyed. An aircraft carrier that can't launch fighters is pretty much worthless.

I agree that this conflict in Iran doesn’t really indicate that the aircraft carrier is any weaker now than it ever was.

Though I do worry about the possibility of a more sophisticated opponent being able to launch swarms of drones and missiles at aircraft carriers. More than any air defense could ever stop.

Smart people do stupid things all the time. Especially when they are moving fast and trying new things.

At least they were able to recognize their mistake and course correct.

The whole UI situation in Windows is absolutely ludicrous.

Is the recommendations panel in the start menu, which nobody actually wants to begin with, really so complicated that it justifies bringing in a JS runtime?

And is C# and WinUI really so hard to use that they can’t just make it with that?

And if WinUI is hard to use, maybe they should like.. make it better?

At least Apple had the decency to take the React paradigm and turn it into a native part of their development platform with SwiftUI, even if the implementation has been a bit rough around the edges.

Definitely agree that it’s better to have JIT in the mainline Python, but it’s not like there weren’t options if you needed higher performance before.

Including simply implementing the slow parts in C, such as the high performance machine learning ecosystem that exists in Python.

Are you forgetting about PyPy, which has existed for almost 2 decades at this point?

That’s quite a cynical way of looking at the world. That political belief is driven by conformance into social groups rather than an individual’s desire to seek the truth.

If that’s truly what you believe, then I guess I’ve got no argument that could sway you. In fact, using your view of the world, all political debate is worthless because nobody really seeks an objective truth anyway.

But she’s not the one writing and editing the wiki pages. It’s open, and there are open discussions as well. What’s it matter what she thinks?

Why would I ever trust an encyclopedia totally controlled by one megalomaniac over one that I myself can contribute to?

No, when did I say that? That’s impossible for anything of the size of Wikipedia.

I was suggesting that Elon Musk, a man who has donated hundreds of millions to Trump and other Republican causes, who has numerous financial conflicts of interest, and who has publicly lied numerous times, is never going to produce a more unbiased and factual encyclopedia than Wikipedia.

Especially when his effort to do so is essentially AI slop from a third rate LLM on top of his own biases.

Have you ever wondered why the most educated and scholarly people in the country are left leaning?

I suppose you think they were indoctrinated. But finding and teaching the truth is essentially their job. Learning how to evaluate sources and approach research logically is like academia 101.

So doesn’t it seem strange that so few of them ever manage to see that they’re being indoctrinated?

Or do you think a person’s political beliefs are assigned at birth and lefties just like academia for some reason?

It’s pretty telling that Elon had to have Grok rewrite Wikipedia because the truth was too woke for him. No idea how anybody can ever take Grok seriously.

Linux compatibility would be sweet, but Apple has no incentive.

Hopefully this product gives other companies the kick in the pants they need to improve their hardware.

Though they still haven’t been able to complete that well against the Air and Pro, so seems unlikely they will adapt well to this either.

Idk, searching online gives me lots of results where people are complaining about Linux battery life when sleeping.

I haven’t used a Linux laptop in over a decade personally, so can’t really speak to that much though.

What I do know is that Windows sucks and macOS has absurdly good battery life, both in active use and in sleep.

It’s funny that this is even remotely a concern in 2026. We have computers you can talk to but Windows laptops maybe won’t go to sleep in your backpack.

I do hope that it’s fixed though. I haven’t followed Windows laptops that closely, but my work laptop from a few years ago does lose battery surprisingly quickly when “sleeping”.

That’s part of why this is all so stupid. Anthropic’s red lines seem very reasonable. Feels incredibly arbitrary for the DoD to cancel the contract and declare it a supply chain risk.
