wewtyflakes··on Opus 5 is currently #1 on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Leaderboard
I've hit it with intensely benign things; like asking it to make me a web-based client-side word game. I am guessing it saw the dictionary and pattern matched on various words, though ultimately it provided no explanation for why it triggered safeguards.
wewtyflakes··on JEP 540: Simple JSON API (Now in Incubator)
I suspect the vast majority of services are not dealing with such massive JSON documents that doing serde on them becomes a material part of their latency breakdown.

The root of a JSON document can also be an array.
wewtyflakes··on Flock Credibility Lost as It Repeatedly Lies to City Councils, Police, & Public
On-point surveillance by people would be a good start; I do not see why it needs to start with endless surveillance by machines run by a private company.
wewtyflakes··on Flock Credibility Lost as It Repeatedly Lies to City Councils, Police, & Public
A society glued together with cameras rather than people, is shallow.
wewtyflakes··on New York City to ban deceptive subscription practices
The fact that Scott Wiener made that carve out for restaurants via emergency legislation (SB 1524) made my blood boil and I vowed to vote against him in any election is runs in.
wewtyflakes··on Grok 4.5
Looks like to be riding a bike that uses car wheels with thick hubcaps.
wewtyflakes··on GPT‑Live
Great to hear about full-duplex. When using voice mode historically, it was infuriating to have the AI go on a long-winded rant or explanation and I would be shouting again and again "stop. shut up. shut up! shut up!!!"; I just needed a clean way to interrupt it.
wewtyflakes··on Command and Conquer Generals natively ported to macOS, iPhone, iPad using Fable
Worked for me; it was a nice surprise.
wewtyflakes··on US residents angry datacenters 'shoved down our throats' are recalling officials
If democracy does not work, the consequences for that are broader than considering the pros/cons of data centers.
wewtyflakes··on US residents angry datacenters 'shoved down our throats' are recalling officials
If you go in with the assumption that democracy does not work, then there is also no point in protesting, as being angry about datacenters would mean nothing anyway.
wewtyflakes··on US residents angry datacenters 'shoved down our throats' are recalling officials
I feel that the resentment to be short sighted. Datacenters do not vote, but people do. If a datacenter is in a locale, it gives those voters a de-facto, outsized, soft power.
wewtyflakes··on Nearly half of LG smart TV apps contain residential proxy SDKs
The companies that make these TVs love that we are this point since they can now take away the subsidy, and you also coincidentally now have no option to buy a non-smart TV, so they are now collecting $ from both the purchase and from the ads. Tada! Grossness all around.

wewtyflakes··on The founder of Craigslist has given away half a billion dollars
Fine by me.
wewtyflakes··on The founder of Craigslist has given away half a billion dollars
I do not understand what you mean by "overcorrecting WAY too far". I have not posited anything aside from wealth disparity existing and that the wealthy do not have a tendency to just give money to the government for the fun of it. If they are paying most the taxes, it is because they have most of the money. Seems self-evident to me.
wewtyflakes··on The founder of Craigslist has given away half a billion dollars
That is a strawman argument. Nobody is seriously arguing to take all the money. I called out extreme wealth disparity, and implied it was a problem. You can disagree at the latter, but you cannot disagree with the former.
wewtyflakes··on The founder of Craigslist has given away half a billion dollars
This is a byproduct of wild wealth disparity, not because the rich are so generous with paying the government.
wewtyflakes··on Why do commercial spaces sit vacant? (2025)
This sounds like the worst case outcome for society; real estate permanently allotted to some entity that chooses not to use it. It is not an envious model; it is a model that should be eliminated.
wewtyflakes··on Claude Fable 5: mid-tier results on coding tasks
Update: Things trended significantly worse for me over the day, to the point where I no longer trust the code being generated; I ended up reverting to Opus.
wewtyflakes··on Waymo Premier
They presumably know their wife better than you do, internet stranger. They did not hide that they were talking from their experience, and not from a published paper on Uber statistics.
wewtyflakes··on Waymo Premier
That would be lovely; I want to live in the world you think we live in.
wewtyflakes··on Claude Fable 5: mid-tier results on coding tasks
I have found Fable is good for doing code failure diagnoses but lackluster at its corresponding remediation. Have been going back and forth with it all this morning about its half-thought-out point-solutions.
wewtyflakes··on A giant star may have destroyed itself in one of the rarest explosions
I know you are a bad-faith bot account, so this is not posed to you.

I am wondering why there are so many of these accounts popping up. They seemingly only exist to antagonize. What do their operators get out of that?

wewtyflakes··on Danish Pension Blacklists SpaceX over 'Catastrophic Governance'
Pile on enough assumptions and qualifiers and then suddenly everything is so easy
wewtyflakes··on Danish Pension Blacklists SpaceX over 'Catastrophic Governance'
How does 100M tons of platinum safely deorbit? Is the idea to let it crash into the sea?
wewtyflakes··on Danish pension fund excludes SpaceX citing governance and valuation
That strategy would be a taxable event.
wewtyflakes··on Letter from the Duke of Wellington to the British Foreign Office (1809)
Aristocratified?
wewtyflakes··on My new obsession: A horse-racing board game of pure luck
Extra trots, you mean.
wewtyflakes··on Launch HN: Chert (YC P26) – Twilio for iMessage
Much of what you mention in your post seemed spammy; messaging regarding cart abandonment, etc. I aggressively label messages like that as spam, and I suspect others do too. I also suspect after blasting out messages like that, your accounts will get burned.
