It’s the same thing with Covid. People thought 1 in 10 people would be dead. And believed it for years, despite it being orders and orders of magnitude wrong. Humans love a good end-of-world story. Always did, always…
Sorry but… uh… bro. I always wondered if opus 5 was a regression or intentional. I’m seriously thinking it’s actually derived from how people at Anthropic talk. The last people on earth who should be regulating this are…
Dude, being able to run high quality models locally with cheap hardware can't some soon enough.
For one thing, it helps clarify my own thinking and uncover any gaps. For two, it lets me peek into its own understanding of the problem and ensure we are both aligned. For three, the garbage I spew at it is usually…
"Plus rigorously ensuring backwards compatibility for a project that is 2 hours old and has zero users." That is exactly how the slop accretes and you get a pile of crap. Claude somehow assumes that said 2 hour old…
"They botched it." <-- sure, but worse.... they shipped it anyway. And that is the part that gets me. It's a vastly worse product than it was on like 4.6. I suppose you can (and should) use opus 4.6 -- they do make it…
Opus 5 is such a massive regression, I really don't understand how Anthropic green-lit it. It makes me wonder so much about the company. Like, did the people who work there actually have to suffer through it's…
You know… I believe opus saved me with that prompt. I was working myself ragged on a project. Days, nights, weekends… all at the expense of my family. One session while working it, I said a much more expressive form of…
Well then ask the LLM to go find and pull its information from primary sources. Don’t ever rely on its own training data.
I sometimes feel it isn’t malicious but that they don’t know the number either.
Not only that but different countries have code regimes that make more elevators especially expensive. See how building codes in the US basically ensure there are only two real manufacturers in the market vs a healthy…
You should observe if it is the same elevator all the time and the building people just don’t understand it. Our building elevators (bank of 2) always seems to try to keep one in the lobby. About 75% of the time you get…
The problem is that in the morning the “last stop” for the elevator might be the lobby not a mid floor. And so it would have to move itself back up without any passengers or calls to upper floors. Basically…
If you like elevator hacking don’t forget the seminal DEF CON talk by Deviant Ollam and Howard Payne: https://youtu.be/oHf1vD5_b5I I watch it like once a year because it always tickles some part of me. Like all the…
“ but back then the news was just one or two 30minute blocks on TV and the newspaper.” There was all kinds of quasi-serious news-adjacent crap like 60 minutes, 48 hours, etc. The big difference was none if it was data…
That whole timespan… the absolute nonsense the “trusted media” and their “experts” were pushing with nary a single trace of critical thinking absolutely boggles the mind. How about PCR test results, “opening dates”,…
"we can start getting these answers back faster, they end up being more useful." Dude, 10x token speed is going to be absolutely nuts. Half the "parallel subagent workflow" business seems to be driven simply as a means…
To be fair, versioning has always been vibes based.
I mean it just depends on the price of the chip. You might just replace the chip like you would any other component. Like a video game cartridge or something.

To be fair Claude is plenty capable of climbing out of its sandbox. If it has shell access, it will find a way. And honestly, it’s whitelist/blacklist permission model is broken and inappropriate for it to begin with.
It’s really wild watching LLMs construct those calls. They batch so many different checks and stuff into a single tool call, delimit them with markers, etc. The crazy thing to me is that this kind of “composition of…
100-200 like scripts are tiny especially for something easy to scope like a vendor api. Give opus a much, much larger challenge and see what you get back. You really don’t need to see the code much at all anymore except…
The docs that ship with it are a great source for the LLM who will be running the command and monitoring its output, fixing or adjusting whatever in order to complete my goal. Why on earth would I be calling it by hand?
Paste the job description into your friendly LLM and let it attempt to find the company for you and then contact the company itself. Those recruiter spams generally just copy and paste the companies own JD so the LLM…
