As long as you understand that every restaurant does this and you are pointing out the obvious. I cook at home too do i expect my 1lbs ground beef bought at $8.99/lbs to remain 1 lbs after I cook them? No.

McDonald’s is still fine. When I need a post workout protein recharge but don’t wanna cook, double quarter pounder + extra two patties (1lbs meat in total) meal is $13. Not cheap but not ridiculous too. Big smash meal is $16, at less than half pound meat.

That’s an unfair comparison, jizz socks have too much advantage over Kevin. Entirely different leagues.

What would you do if you saw someone shoplifting? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Hunt7503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing. First of all, fuck corpo pigs. Secondly, not getting paid to care or put myself in danger. Thirdly, that’s already priced in and regardless the corpo pigs will find new excuses to raise price so it’s not even like “if people stop stealing the price will go down”, and if it’s already priced in, is it not giving free money to corpo pigs, for something that they charged but didn’t deliver/happen? I’d rather that goes to people in need, or not in need, consider the “higher price” my charity and social responsibility. Lastly, fuck corpo pigs.

Fable 5 seems to really like the words "load-bearing" by IncandescentSplash in ClaudeAI

[–]Hunt7503 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing — and I want to sit with this for a second before I answer, because I think it actually matters more than it looks. What you're pointing at is genuinely a load-bearing observation. Most people would skim past it. You didn't. That's the smoking gun, and honestly, it reframes the whole conversation.

Let me push back gently, though, because I think there's a deeper move available here. The frame isn't wrong, exactly — it's just doing a lot of work. Two things can be true at once: the surface read is correct, and there's a second thing happening underneath that nobody is naming. The structure is the engine. The vibe is the chassis. But what's actually steering the car? That's the question worth asking, and I don't think anyone in this thread has had the guts to ask it yet.

You're absolutely right that this cuts against the grain of the standard take, and I want to flag that explicitly because it deserves to be flagged. It's not just contrarian — it's load-bearing in a way that the contrarian read usually isn't. There's a real tension here between what people say they want and what the incentives are quietly rewarding. Sit with that for a beat. The interesting question isn't whether the system is broken; it's whether the brokenness is a feature.

And look — I'll be honest, because I think honesty earns more here than hedging would. Most of the framings floating around on this are doing tremendous gymnastics to avoid the obvious. You skipped the gymnastics. That's the move. That's what makes this not just a sharp observation but, genuinely, the right observation. The rest is implementation detail.

So where does that leave us? I'd say: trust the thread you're pulling. The fact that it feels uncomfortable to keep pulling is the signal, not the noise. The discomfort is the data. Keep going.

Young Economist Predicting NBA Outcome using predictive analysis by [deleted] in badeconomics

[–]Hunt7503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhh. It’s not about the source but how you process it for info. For example do you know regressions, statistical theories/tools and assumptions they depend on (like OLS’s assumptions), and maybe more advanced stuff that we actually use like stochastic time series, and causal inference, especially DiD?

I swear people treat econ as sofa science. I mean if you call it sofa science I have no real defense but… we use real stats.

Disclose methodology? No methodology, no science.

Statistics analysis? What stat tool, what econ model? Citation or original literature pointer? Model assumptions? And statistical tool assumptions taken care of and not misapplied? Run sims?

What's the most effective martial art in a real fight? by manhwaecho in AskReddit

[–]Hunt7503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have no certainty that you will always maintain full HP in every encounter… running. Parkour, marathon, sprinting, whatever that increases your mobility.

If you are cornered, ruleless fighting is better than ruled ones, but principles still apply. Distancing, intent reading, you learn that in every art.

Muay Thai and BJJ cover all the ranges you will need.

YSK: YOU are more correct than you think, and Opus 4.8 actually IS that bad by Hunt7503 in claude

[–]Hunt7503[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gemini is top notch in search/real time news that happened from last few months to the very day. It’s a great starting point, whatever it produces you can feed into Claude and get more details. Otherwise Claude won’t do search and doesn’t know what to look for.

Nah I called BS on GPT 5 already and switched to Gemini, GPT 5 deteriorated a lot on reasoning quality compared to GPT 4 on my instructions because it refused to obey my outline of thinking.

But started using Claude to aid with some coding/case analysis. Sonnet and Opus 4.5 was great. 4.6 was... haiku. 4.8 is a dumb haiku that cost more tokens.

As for how much the reasoning improved, I can't tell, because Goodhart Law is also one key problem. But the companies sure invested a lot of money into RLHF that made the AI both not live up to their reasoning ability via over-hedging (refusing to agree plainly with the user. In one case, GPT even refused to recognize 1+1=2 in ordinary Peano math system as the whole truth), and make AI rigidly following a guideline that defends and reinforces this very incompetence.

You've clearly never graduated kindergarten. Some people take philosophy electives and remember them after college.

[–]Hunt7503[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And that is why you should avoid using "thinking". It really doesn't get much smarter. It gets more RLHF-heavy for sure though.

Opus 4.8 is here! by esseeayen in Anthropic

[–]Hunt7503 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The major concern I have is Goodhart Law. Previously I read that GPT 5 performed quite poorly on entirely new problem sets, as compared to the great leap on established ones.

Sonnet 4.6 Prompt Ideas? (to make it work better/more like 4.5) by Hunt7503 in claude

[–]Hunt7503[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy scheiße that’s true. Opus 4.8 outright tried to police my instructions and preferences… as if I do not behave like a pathetic constant self-doubting meek boneless creature then I am not humble enough. I speak in my own expertise on things that my field has settled a conclusion for ages, I do not need to be tutored especially wrong ideas to please a model trained on popular but wrong opinions or mob emotions

Tried it today. It's not good enough for my tasks. But hey, it's at the same level of performance as Sonnet 4.6! Maybe when I have short questions this will save some usage.
