You get 90% of the MacBook experience for half the price. Most users only need this 90%.

Do you an idea of how well these models perform on set theory problems or more niche fields in mathematics? So the model would have to both understand a paper that’s not in its training data, and use this to write proofs.

Very Apple-like marketing. No comparisons to other companies’ models, only to previous version of ChatGPT. Lots of phrases like “this is our best model yet”.

Anthropic's two demands are: 1. No domestic mass surveillance 2. No autonomous killing

I'm wondering if 2. was added simply to justify them not cooperating. It's a lot easier to defend 1. + 2. than just 1. If in the future they do decide to cooperate with the DoW, they could settle on doing only mass surveillance, but no autonomous killings. This would be presented as a victory for both parties since they both partially get what they wanted, even though autonomous killing was never really on the table for either of them. Which is a big if given the current administration.

Just opened my Whatsapp settings and "Third-party chat requests" is on by default (From the Netherlands). Although to actually receive messages you do have to activate this feature.

Tools like GPTzero are incredibly unreliable. Me and plently of my colleagues often get our writing flagged as 100% AI by these tools, when no AI was used.

Nice try! You got it next time

Find a new dentist. Nicotine pouches are incredibly bad for oral health. Huge risk of oral cancer. And it’ll make your gums recline, exposing your nerves (this hurts). Also nicotine itself is quite bad for you to begin with (cardiovascular health, anxiety, etc).

Sure snus is better than smoking, but that’s just because most things are better than smoking.

Curious to see it in action. Gemini 2.5 has already been very impressive as a study buddy for courses like set theory, information theory, and automata. Although I’m always a bit skeptical of these benchmarks. Seems quite unlikely that all of the questions remain out of their training data.

Yeah I tried telegram. None of my contacts did though…

But the web app is genuinely unusable. Often times takes 2+ minutes to properly load. This issue seems to be quite random though, not everyone has it.

The point of LLMs is that there’s nothing in between the lines.

Or do you mean to say that you are trying to find the specific bias each model has?

In my experience 120% of my daily usage from windows works on Linux.

Where are the friction points for you?

I'm tired of feeling like the articles I read are AI generated.

And Sonnet is again better than Opus. I’d love to see simultaneous release dates for Sonnet and Opus one day. Just so that Opus is always better than Sonnet

Just a few months ago people were still talking about exponential progress. The fact that we’re already going for just linear progress is not a good sign

In my experience people subscribe and follow easy to digest content that makes them feel productive for consuming it.

Final sentence of this piece is missing a word.

I'm quite worried by this post. After reading the first paragraph it is obvious that this is AI generated, or at least heavily edited by AI. Read some of the other comments on this post for examples of how this is obvious.

The author is a professor in Computer Science at Yale. As well as an ex-research at Microsoft and IBM. You would think this person has the necessary writing skills to write this article themselves. There is no excuse to use AI for writing this. It makes it much harder to read. And always leaves me wondering if I don't understand the point the author is trying to make or if there wasn't one to begin with.

Overall I'm just annoyed by how often I see people use genAI to write stuff for them. Do they think people won't realize it is generated by AI? Do they just not care? Or has it become socially acceptable to write emails, articles, and memos with AI? Just give me the f***g prompt. Then at least I don't have to deal with reading the AI slop.

Let alone how ironic it is to write an article that talks about AI in education, with AI.

PS: I'm not trying to attack the author. This is becoming a widespread issue and I don't want to single him out.

Call me crazy, but I think capitalism can exist without mass manipulation.

In my experience LLMs have a hard time working with text grids like this. It seems to find columns harder to “detect” then rows. Probably because it’s input shows it as a giant row if that makes sense.

It has the same problem with playing chess. But I’m not sure if there is a datatype it could work with for this kinda game. Currently it seems more like LLMs can’t really work on spacial problems. But this should actually be something that can be fixed (pretty sure I saw an article about it on HN recently)

This is missing the last 7 years of data…

A few days ago I tested Claude Code by completely vibe coding a simple stock tracker web app in streamlit python. It worked incredibly well, until it didn't. Seems like there is a critical project size where it just can't fix bugs anymore. Just tried this with Gemini CLI and the critical project size it works well for seems to be quite a bit bigger. Where claude code started to get lost, I simply told Gemini CLI to "Analyze the codebase and fix all bugs". And after telling it to fix a few more bugs, the application simply works.

We really are living in the future

Good article giving some critique to Apple's paper and Gary Marcus specifically.
