We've been running experiments and refining our trading harnesses for the past 2-3 months, another thing that affects it is the amount of money it has available - you can also build in personalities beforehand with different agents such as aggressive, moderate, wall street, etc

I'll keep an eye on your experiments and take notes!

Interesting - do the models know they're paper trading without real money? I've found if they know that it affects their decision making

It was the cat, those little fluffy bastards walked into a human camp about 10,000 years ago and kicked everything off. That's why the Ancient Egyptians revered cats as Gods /s

New comment by Monotoko in "The Claude Code Source Leak: fake tools, frustration regexes, undercover mode"

There's some repos I'm unashamedly keeping alive with Claude alone and he gets co-authorship - basically stuff in "maintenance mode" that I still use that I've forked and had Claude drag it into 2026

A quick PR where I've found the bug myself in the code, and ask Claude to write the fix because it's faster, and verified it - I don't include Claude's co-authorship.

Very easily these days, even if minified is difficult for me to reverse engineer... Claude has a very easy time of finding exactly what to patch to fix something

Very strange, I put the title of the article but HN seems to not like the word "fully" and removes it after I click submit...

Anthropic vs OpenAI will probably be The Machine vs Samaritan

(Person Of Interest for those who haven't seen it, watched it a decade ago and it's actually quite surprising how on point it ended up being)

I don't even think Anthropic balked at being used to assist, as long as a human has the final say.

Aye that's not a bad plan, to be honest I think my Strix still has a few years left at least but we'll see.

I built my ideal laptop... 4TB storage, the 5070, all the mods I would need, and it comes to $4000+ :(

My ASUS ROG Strix cost me $1500 back when the 3080's were new and has a 3080. Have prices risen that much?

I wouldn’t say sour grapes, just that people have a certain budget. Forgoing Business/First i used to be able to afford more days away, maybe an extra city, etc

As I get older I take business class more, because I prefer the comfort over having a few extra days. Ask younger me and he would have taken the extra holiday days

Sideloadly and a lot of messing about, it doesn't need to be jailbroken though.

You can, I've already made a modified version of Apollo and sideloaded it onto my phone with a tweak to set my own key instead of Apollo's

However there is a line on the developers page now that says all apps need to accept terms and sign up for a developers program, so I have my doubts it will continue to work either

Apps were always willing to pay money for their usage, but not the insane pricing Reddit put in front of them ($12k for 50 million calls)
