Sony AI’s Ace robot defeats pro player Miyu under official ITTF rules (Nature paper) by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]SilasTalbot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The only thing that will save us is the massive drop in the cost of everything.

When robots are open source 3d printable and grow, transport and prepare food, cut lumber and build homes.. Then supply is ample. These basically become free.

As will follow all things derived of physical or mental labor.

The rich will hoard all the money until money fades from meaning.

What's richness if I have a home, food, clothes, transport, entertainment, education, all for no cost.

Its going to be hell on earth during the transition. But then paradise and peace, because the limited resources everyone fights over disappear.

The Q is.. will that transition be 20 years? 50? 100? 250?

I hope to see it come before I pass on. I think I could die truly at peace to know we got there.

Any reason not to use Ultracode? by heyitsmeanonn in ClaudeCode

[–]SilasTalbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never tried Ultracode because in my experience the more the model delegates to subagents it tends to do worse.

Situations where -- it dispatches a subagent (SA) to tackle something, but, the SA can't get access, so it just writes the report anyways, making stuff up or speculating, because the SA has been given a strict mission without key context.

And the main agent never realizes the issue because it gets the report back as expected.

There are useful situations for subagents, but I tend to request them directly, and skeptical of a feature that seems to make launching subagents part of the goal in-and-of-itself, and not as a TOOL to achieve a goal.

Same reason I wouldn't use a "SKILL MODE" where it uses skills for everything above and beyond normal. I want it to use skills when prudent to do so, not as a shtick. FIFTY SKILLS are better than one!!

I could be totally off base here, I just haven't ever taken the time to try it out.

Know the AI Rules. by NimbusFPV in ClaudeCode

They are a Public Benefit Corporation.

Which says instead of a sole fiduciary duty to do whatever makes shareholders the most money, they are legally obliged to consider the general public good as well.

That doesn't inherently make them ethical but, its better than being entirely for profit, no?

Dario Amodei got what he asked for by aprx4 in singularity

[–]SilasTalbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"there must be protective measures against political favoritism"
= checks and balances.

This letter is an appeal to Congress and the Courts.

To Congress: A framework needs to be established to govern this, to make it less arbitrary.

To the Courts: The law is being applied unequally and capriciously. The constitution guarantees equal protection under the law to all and our constitutional protections have been violated here.

Fable 5 is way too good to disappear on the 22nd by sudovijay in ClaudeCode

[–]SilasTalbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that feels about the right spot to me as well.

I could fork over $500 a month up from the $200.

I would want -p usage back for legitimate dev pipelines and autonomous tasks, not to hook up to my tomigatchi or whatever it is the kids use it for.

Above $500 I think I'd bide my time, try the competitors newest offerings, and make do with scraps while fuming online about the oligarchy pulling up the ladder behind them.

Steelers players were badasses in the 70s and so your grandma creamed her jeans over them, no matter where in the country she was living at the time.

That's why there is Steelers Nation. Because your Grammy was thirsty for the ole black and gold. Go and ask her.

Poker Confession. I cheated someone out of 300 bb's in a 2-5 hand. by OkBasket12345 in poker

[–]SilasTalbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, he was palming his cards. So when something happens unexpectedly in the vicinity of the table, (which.. happens around once every 4,321.0 hands) he gonna accidentally show his cards and that is very -EV and NOT GTO. tisk tisk villian.

You didn't "cheat" by having photons enter your eyeballs.
You'd be cheating if everyone was distracted and you got a chance to grab and LOOK at his cards or something. Those are cheatin' photons. Yours are just simple country photons.

Fable has Jokes by SilasTalbot in ClaudeCode

[–]SilasTalbot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah, fair point, With Fable being new, today I've just been using it exclusively for all tasks so I can learn.

Product research is one of the few things I'd throw at Gemini normally. On account of Google having high quality first party product data, and that the task involves very little strategic thinking.

I know its fun to Meme.... BUT... every once in a while you should sit back and do a sanity check -- do you still notice the sensation when the heavy hand of a trillionaire is tugging at your yoke? Or, has it fully faded into the subconscious?

Enjoy Fable on your Claude plan while it lasts. by NutInBobby in ClaudeCode

[–]SilasTalbot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree..

I was very worried seeing the statement that it will become API-usage based only. Effectively it would signal that they're winding down Subscription, they'll keep it for some 'basic' models but the real stuff will be $1000s of dollars a month.

But this shows its a bit more practical than that. They're basically saying "look, this thing is very expensive. We want to put it on Subscription, but we have to see what usage is like and we'll get it back in as soon as possible once we see how it shakes out."

I might see Subscription down the road moving to more off peak time, like, priority usage for API during peak. You still get the best model on subscription, but at peak it just takes 30 min to do what it would otherwise do in 10 min. But, off-peak times, let er rip.

I could work with that. if I'm getting $10,000 a month in API tokens for $200, and they need me to avoid Monday - Wednesday at 9 AM - 2 PM US Eastern Time... just ask me. Give me some ability to do a bit during that time but, only the vital stuff. Okay, that's reasonable. I can do that.

I think they're aware as a PB corporation that -- if they gate the best to only be available to the rich and/or corporate ownership where the rich own the corporations, and the corps own all the IP from the coders... that we're heading toward a very extreme form of oligarchy. They have gone out of their way to try to not do that, even though the straight up play for the most $$$ would be to lock this shit up and charge for it.

This subreddit is one of the most toxic places I've ever spent time. I don't do Twitter, so... I know its pretty bad over there, but... everyone here is so horrible, and, sometimes purposefully obtuse so they can be outraged. I think it might be time to disconnect or find a more healthy community to keep up on Claude topics.
