passkeys are a website telling you they don't trust you to manage your own password, and they would rather talk to your password manager directly and skip the meatbag in the middle.

and the websites are usually justified in saying that.

jokes? in america's most trusted news source? i don't think so

sure, but when you read beyond the headline in these events the story is never that the AI went rogue and disobeyed instructions. it's always that somebody gave it instructions to go make a mess, and then is surprised when the AI makes a mess.

in general i think i'm less scared of AI than most people, but what does terrify me is how willing society at large seems to be to attribute bad behaviour to an AI directly, instead of to the humans who control it.

>These credits are designed to allow our users to experiment with building tools, apps, and agents that call our API.

this seems like a plenty cynical explanation. it's just a free trial to get developers building on their api.

not haiku, but luna - last week i used it for things like "read this historical dump of 15k support tickets and break them into categories that make sense, then propose help docs that i could write to handle the most frequent queries in each category"

used <10% of my 5hr limit on a $100 codex plan.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen no suggestion at all. If it doesn’t have anything else to suggest, it will suggest committing.

the 'about' link on example.com sends you here https://www.iana.org/help/example-domains

which does appear to say that yes, IANA hosts this

this is almost certainly what anthropic is hoping for here - a judgement that says there is no point in them continuing to monitor and report this behaviour

Agreed. Or at least, customers should only be liable for expenses they incur up to the hard caps they set.

If you don’t have a mechanism for enforcing hard caps, you don’t get to send customers a bill for unlimited amounts.

as a canadian, i'd suggest that reestablishing a healthy relationship might require more than hope.

but from what i can see, the american reaction to this, even from the anti-trump crowd within america, is to basically shrug and assume that canada will quickly forgive and forget.

that plus sign is addition. netlify claims cold start is only 10ms slower than warm start.

seriously - if netlify can do 15ms warm start + 10ms cold start, wtf is lambda doing for the other 1500ms?

i don't know if you could say they're buying it "happily". more like begrudgingly.

the deal has a 30-day cancellation policy, and they raised a bunch of debt around the same time to fund their own datacenter expansion.

I suspect the $500 will sell well. Maybe not for the staff developer, but I can definitely see the exec who thinks he can replace all his developers by vibe coding things himself inbetween meetings seeing a 6x speed up button and buying without a second thought.

My side by side evaluation this week was to build a tool for mounting my app’s UI components in a headless chrome and feeding mock data into them, for the purpose of taking screenshots for help docs. Not super complicated, but a real task I needed done.

I gave the task to codex first, sol 6 xhigh. it took a couple back and forth prompts to define the project and then it worked for a bit and to took a couple more prompts before I decided it was good enough - not perfect, but close. It re-implemented some wrapper components in a simplified way that lost some of the UI, but it would work.

Opus 5.5 high took the same prompt with no back and forth, it just went off and one-shotted a tool that takes pixel-perfect screenshots of exactly what my app looks like.

>You can put it in a sandbox, it doesn't make a difference, for it to be useful it inherently needs wide, unattended access.

only as long as you're trying to replace a human's job. because human jobs are structured to do a wide variety of things.

a useful agent needs a wide variety of inputs, and one single restricted action it can take. it doesn't need permission to do everything, it need permission to do the tiniest possible useful thing it can do, and nothing else.

they've reversed this decision https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/movies/articles/youtube-...

these are just openrouter stats.

they don't have 64% marketshare. they have 64% of openrouter usage, because people mostly don't use openrouter to access claude or chatGPT.

The generalization I would use is that governments should tax any scarce resource based on the amount of revenue it should produce if used effectively, rather than the revenue a given consumer can actually produces. Whether that is land, radio spectrum, or clean air.

“Undesirable behavior” is overly broad to the point of being actively misleading, and gets you into sin taxes. smut or drugs are not the scarce resources anybody is talking about here.

that still essentially works. ask it to write a plan doc to a file. then when you're ready to implement, start a new session with a prompt to review the plan doc and then start building.

well then you aren't using this project

That was not my understanding. Unless this installation was supposed to be producing fuel on site somehow, fuel cells are a mechanism for turning fuel into electricity.

>But what if the problem is that none of the alignment techniques that are applied to models today actually work?

if that were true, the millions of people who use these models that have had the alignment training applied would notice that. the reason we all believe that the models doing the hacking are models that haven't been told not to hack is because the models that are told not to hack don't do this.

after a few hours use, my impression is that Opus 5.5 writes like gemini. drastic improvement over all opus 5.1's claudeisms.

and i think i was generally more tolerant of 5.1's writing style than most people.

yeah, Astra burned through 70% of my weekly usage in ~5hrs on a $100 plan. even fable doesn't run out that quickly for me. it's great, but it's on the same tier as fable for me - use it sparingly, only when really necessary.

>and potentially about Anthropic future profitability too

have they ever shared anything about their revenue mix between consumer plans vs per-token billing? this is a revenue cut on their API billing, but they're not saying anything about increased limits on the plans. so all the plan revenue just got more profitable.

typically, when any AI company says a model performs as well as fable, all they're really telling us is that the benchmarks that exist for measuring AI capabilities aren't very good.

i don't think that's the point anybody is making. "good lawyers" is not the profession at risk here. a top tier courtroom lawyer won't be replaced by AI.

but how much of the revenue of the average law firm comes from that, vs the day-to-day "we need this relatively routine contract reviewed" sort of work?

canada already has CETA for EU trade and CEFTA for trade with the EFTA. it seems like "associate membership" must mean something that goes beyond just a free trade agreement, because that already exists.
