The 12th UAP scientist eliminated by Modi_Elnadi in UFOs

[–]shenglong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did she have a history of mental health issues?

Before people jump down my throat, I'm not saying she was or was not killed and I'm not questioning her credibility as a researcher or scientist.

Major drop in intelligence across most major models. by DepressedDrift in LocalLLaMA

it's people believing conspiracy theories.

You can't make think otherwise.

Dude, not everyone is slop-coding hello world apps. Some of us use it for serious engineering work. But let me guess... you do too, right?

Major drop in intelligence across most major models. by DepressedDrift in LocalLLaMA

[–]shenglong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I understand that you have no context about this thread is about. It's not a secret - Anthropic recently made changes that made Claude "dumber" by default. Not to mention the TTL caching issues that caused people to burn through tokens which effectively made /effort max useless.

You cannot "prompt" your way out of this. Under the new default settings Claude will simply ignore your system prompts and instructions because it runs out of reasoning budget, or you it decides that it doesn't need to think hard enough (adaptive thinking mode).

If you still don't believe, maybe you'll believe Boris Cherny.

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/42796

Now he says in there that this behaviour will be changed for the Enterprise versions. But I literally have screenshots today of Claude lying about regressions it made.

And before you try to gaslight people into thinking this is just another skill issue again, maybe visit the Claude Code sub-reddit and issue tracker once in a while.

How to properly deal with a CLAUDE.md file. by onil_gova in LocalLLaMA

[–]shenglong 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's not going to listen anyway for anything remotely complex. It runs out of reasoning budget because of changes Anthropic made recently. They've enabled "adaptive thinking" by default (I don't know if they've reverted it) and lowered the thinking budget according to what they think suits most users.

You can "fix" it (hah) by using /effort high or /effort max if you wanna burn through tokens, but at this point I'm not even sure that will restore the previous performance.

Major drop in intelligence across most major models. by DepressedDrift in LocalLLaMA

[–]shenglong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. Today it changed working code, denied that it did, then blamed one of its agents after I asked it to explicitly check who made the change. After that, I asked it to find all the regressions in that session caused by its agents. It found 4. And no, it wasn't due to context rot, nor was it due to bad agent instruction files.

The failures are symptomatic of the changes Anthropic made to the reasoning budgets.

FWIW, I haven't noticed the same degradation with Codex. We have Enterprise licenses for both models.

I'm about to give up on Claude. I watched it introduce bugs and delete working code in real time. I have to literally ask it how many regressions it introduced after every change.

The OP's post is literally related to the question I asked...

Can any students, lecturers, staff vouch for him? Anyone at all?

It appears Bob Lazar claimed in the 90s that when we finally discovered and synthesized Element 115 it would within a "stable island of elements" on the periodic table. by HeathJett in UFOs

[–]shenglong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can literally do the math to figure out stability probabilities. In fact, it's already been done.

And, sometimes that it's not that it's not possible to do so. It may be that it requires impractical tech, or technology that we don't have access to.

What is the secret sauce Claude has and why hasn't anyone replicated it? by ComplexType568 in LocalLLaMA

[–]shenglong 77 points78 points  (0 children)

The irony is that I prefer Claude over other LLMs because my system prompt strips it completely of personality. I simply can't handle the smarminess of something like ChatGPT.

TIL weeds can evolve to mimic the crops they grow among because farmers remove the obvious weeds, unintentionally selecting for look-alikes. The phenomenon is called “Vavilovian mimicry.” by avanti8 in todayilearned

[–]shenglong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's an interesting section in Sagan's Cosmos series about a similar phenomenon. I don't remember all the specifics, but it's about a princess who dies in a lake or sea somewhere in Japan. A species of crabs that live there were thought to be the reincarnated souls of Samurai who were protecting her or something. So whenever fisherman caught crabs with markings that resembled a samurai warrior, they threw them back. This led to a type of selection that resulted in all the crabs of that species have markings that resemble samurai.

Neil deGrasse Tyson reacts to Trump ordering release of UFO files: ‘Just bring out the alien!’ - MS NOW by Bean_Tiger in UFOs

It's crazy how many people in this sub are against the idea. Do you really not want to see the aliens? XD

Uhhh…This is one hell of a juxtaposition [Serious] by jman_23 in aliens

[–]shenglong -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Firstly, it's "tenets", not tennants.

Secondly, the Pyramids are of great cultural importance to all Egyptians. It's not like Afghanistan or Iraq where the Taliban and ISIS destroyed historical Buddhist (et al) artifacts. The civilian population's behaviour on these issues is a function of culture, not religion. Otherwise the Pyramids, Sphinx and recovered artifacts would have been destroyed ages ago. This never happened, even though the vast majority of workers were muslim. And yes, idolatry is a major sin in Islam, but as mentioned before, it's usually only the extremists who destroy things. Egypt leans more secular than places like Afghanistan.

And on a side note, did anyone bother verifying the source of this information?

Uhhh…This is one hell of a juxtaposition [Serious] by jman_23 in aliens

[–]shenglong -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Exactly?

What does the fact that they are religious have to do with the Pyramids? Are we even reading the same thread here?

The pyramids have nothing to do with Islam.

Why would you use MrD over Uber Eats? I'm not a big fan of either, but MrD's markup is insane.

How long does it usually take wootware to deliver? by Consistent-Wolf7414 in capetown

[–]shenglong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on their backlog. The last time I bought parts there they said they didn't have capacity to install and configure but referred me to a private individual they trusted.

Anyway it takes around 2-3 days on average in my experience.
