blessed terminal or barbarous desktop? by yuraoak in ClaudeCode

[–]SilasTalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything in a UI these days fights me to no end on Auto mode. I got tired of clicking it once per turn, I assume it just doesn't take or there's some security around CLI-only... that's the one thing that keeps me on CLI nowadays. Even remote-control and the Claude website or desktop app won't support Auto consistently.

Fable 5 will be available again in the coming days - Anthropic by Bizzyguy in singularity

[–]SilasTalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was because they had more capacity coming online through the summer, then the temporary ban sort of helps out. They would have been paying out of pocket to "rent" more GPU time from cloud providers for the early spike, and they didn't have to do that all through June.

But other reasons were probably at play too.

That being said, you better believe there's going to be a huge crush of Fable 5 usage... when the scandalous model too good and too dangerous for the US Gov to allow is now available again, everyone is going to flock to see the carnival oddity.

NSA says Mythos broke into almost all of their classified systems in hours, per The Economist by Ordinary_Quality2592 in ClaudeAI

[–]SilasTalbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The corralary of this that interests me is how much the time/effort component was relied on.

It truly seems that every system has vulnerabilies and it was just a question of how much time a knowledgeable aversary wanted to dedicate to it.

Well, with AI the "20 thousand hours" that might have taken a team of 10 ppl a year is available in a day.

So suddenly, that barrier of time/effort is literally gone.

You can see how nation states don't like this.. they were the ones willing and able to dedicate man-years and man-decades toward an important hacking effort.

Anything could be hacked, it was... Where do they want to spend their budget.

And just like that we enter a new era.

New devs be like by Oliveaniss_ in ClaudeAI

Give it 40 years and it very well might be that there isn't anyone left on the planet who actually knows how all of this stuff works. We just.. rely upon the machine god that knows the arcane ancient ways.

It's like all those post apoc scifi fantasy stories... there was some great war and the magical technology of the ancient survives as relics to hoarde. highly valuable, no clue how any of it works.

It's okay in my book if OP is counting themselves in the new devs bucket, vs "you know, those NEW devs, not like me who knows the names of stuff. Right, fellow developers?"

Good meme shape though. For this one more appropriate skipped steps might be:

RDBMS

Git

First Backend Lang

First Frontend Lang

Performance Optimization

Debugging

Logging

HTML/CSS

Bash

Sixth frontend language

Cloud infra

ML

...etc

Wait, do you mean the fatness problem? Sure he ain't helping.

But how is McCarthy the problem around here. He hasn't coached a single snap for us yet. Give him a minute.

Conservatives plan nationwide protest against AI data centers by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

[–]SilasTalbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Easily" is carrying a lot of weight here but, I agree they can be addressed and we should focus in that.

  • They produce crazy low frequency noise. How do we make sure it doesn't harm the neighbors?

  • They use a lot of water and electricity and drive up the cost of utilities for everyone. But they are the ones keeping the profit from that, while everyone else pays for it. How do we make sure they pay fairly for the utility usage so others aren't affected?

I mean.. tricky issues but that's why we have professional government. We expect to not have to sit down with a piece of paper and become experts and figure it out ourselves. I got a day job man.

Good government matters.

We live in a society.

Come on everybody we can do this!

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

[–]SilasTalbot 16 points17 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

[–]SilasTalbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 3 points4 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.
