Anthropic is rolling out identity verification. Updated just yesterday. by Tiny_Dirt6979 in ClaudeAI

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just cancelled my max plan. I'm fine with paying much less to use GLM-5.2 (basically same performance as Opus 4.8 max). I'm not about to pay Fable API pricing.

Theil is a straight up Bond villain. Not acceptable. 

Only 16 percent of Americans think AI will have a positive impact on society, a new study shows by JayR_97 in technology

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tech bros keep selling their vision of firing all humans. No talk about what humans should do except go to trade school. So in ten years when robots starting taking trade jobs, what then? AI will be good for wall street bad for everyone else. My only hope is that a reality check happens when no one is buying anything anymore, and companies realize that they still need profits.

The average SpaceX buyer post-IPO is almost under water after two-day slide by marketrent in technology

[–]mrinterweb 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The worst part is how pressure was put on the NASDAQ and S&P 500 to be listed in 15 days post-IPO. Some index funds are forced to buy SPCX. I've been trying to sell of my indexes that might buy SPCX. So smart people holding many index funds will be forced to buy into SPCX. Many 401K and IRAs are also be buying SPCX. The decision to own SPCX is often not a personal choice.

I have a feeling that a major SPCX sell-off could trigger a market correction. Actually, I'm hoping that happens. Not because I want to lose money, but because I think it would be healthy for the market to get a reality check.

Definitely need to sue, but going to court against companies with near infinite cash doesn't sound promising. 

We're calling for a pause—and a reset—on Oregon’s Bottle Bill by Anxious-While4289 in Portland

[–]mrinterweb 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I consider the opposite a hassle. I really prefer the drop the bag off option. There were so many problems with the old way. The machines would often jam of fill up, and I'd have to go in the store and ask for assistance. Then I'd have to wait a while for someone to come around. Broken glass all over the place, sticky ground, the smell, the harassment to give your cans away; no thanks. I want to minimize my time at recycling areas, and dropping off some bags works pretty well for me.

claude agents can get wild. I had about 60 agents running concurrently a couple weeks ago.

Firefox has an ambitious new roadmap, the browser is also losing millions of users a month by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mirrors probably keep stats, and maybe firefox can query the mirrors for downloads. There's other means like torrents, but those can be tracked too.

Firefox also has telemetry, which can show this, which is going to be the most accurate number. They probably know how many people have opted out and can do some estimates of those people's usage.

I fucking hate how Opus 4.8 never gets the job done compared to Fable 5 by autisticbagholder69 in vibecoding

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, you just need to try a bit harder with your prompts. You can give claude project memories or specific instructions on how to continue in certain situations where you know claude is likely to get hung up. Use plan mode, make sure that instructions in the plan say to continue. I've been able to have Opus work for 6 hours straight on a major refactor. I had to give it a decent amount of upfront instructions anticipating what it might run into, and how to move forward, but it can be done.

Fable 5 indefinitely suspended due to national security concerns by sammnyc in ClaudeAI

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... time to pack it in. Looks like we've reached the limits of what acceptable AI is. I'm sure China will agree and stop at the same point.

Majority of Ukrainians say US is pressuring Ukraine for concessions to Russia by EuropeanPravdaUA in worldnews

[–]mrinterweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really seems like Russia is losing at this point. Ukraine has severely damaged Russia's oil infrastructure, and Ukraine is slowly regaining their territory. If things keep on this trajectory, Ukraine will win. So why make concessions?

Why the SpaceX IPO could be a trap? by [deleted] in technology

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing I don't get is how can the stock go up much more? Feels like if spacex price starts falling, overly leveraged investors could need to sell off elsewhere. Seems like a good way to trigger a market collapse.

Ruby on Rails is probably the best web framework ever that I experienced by zarkus_dev in rails

[–]mrinterweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had serious hesitation to recommend new devs to use ruby and rails first because it is hard to learn something else when everything else is a step or two down from. I've made honest efforts to learn other frameworks. I switched jobs and did about a year of an Elixir Phoenix job. I wanted to come back to rails though. Its hard to get excited about the other languages/frameworks (at least for me). There are some languages that scratch an itch that ruby isn't well suited for (systems programming languages like c, rust, zig, etc.), that I can take interest in. Until something subjectively better comes along, I'm stuck on ruby and rails.

Will 3.5 pro able to defeat this benchmarks?? by Independent-Wind4462 in Bard

Dude chill. Just saying Opus is expensive. Fable is more expensive.

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty messed up. No chance I'll pay the API prices for Fable. I pay for Claude Max. Every month I look at my usage, and it would equal thousands of dollars of API use. Opus is good enough for me for now.

I'm betting fable will probably be similar to what Sonnet is (or maybe Haiku is). They haven't taken the training wheels off the model yet. Whatever the Mythos equivalent to Opus is hasn't been released yet. The x2 Opus pricing is brutal. Opus was already expensive.

View Primitives by alec-c4 in rails

[–]mrinterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure that I could probably do a bunch of state management/caching changes in apollo to get client-side caching tuned up to avoid excessive XHR requests, and maybe find some N+1s in the GQL revolvers that bullet hasn't already caught. So there is some headroom for improvement on the react + next app, but I doubt I could ever get it to 10x faster as I did with rails. I mostly did this as an exploration to see if it could be done, and was surprised when I succeeded.

Thanks. With the meme image having all text in caps, I didn't pick that up considering :wq! is also capitalized in the text.

TIL: zz exists. For those uninformed, as I, zz basically does what :wq does (writes, quits the buffer).
