If the author of the blog post ever comes across this thread/ comment, bravo and I hope you feel pride in your work and I’d go so far to say discovery.

“No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but……

…But it might work for us!”

As someone that used to work on Windows, I kind of had a vision of a similar in scope e2e testing harness, similar to Windows Vista/ 7 (knowing about bugs/ issues doesn't mean you can necessarily fix them ... hence Vista then 7) - and that Anthropic must provide some Enterprise guarantee backed by this testing matrix I imagined must exist - long way of saying, I think they might just YOLO regressions by constantly updating their testing/ acceptance criteria.

Why not provide pinable versions or something? This episode and wasted 2 months of suboptimal productivity hits on the absurdity of constantly changing the user/ system prompt and doing so much of the R&D and feature development at two brittle prompts with unclear interplay. And so until there’s like a compostable system/user prompt framework they reliably develop tests against, I personally would prefer pegged selectable versions. But each version probably has like known critical bugs they’re dancing around so there is no version they’d feel comfortable making a pegged stable release..

There was a lawsuit in 2020 or 2021 where some evidence was unsealed showing ARM gets 1% of the CPU cost. I can’t recall how that CPU cost was calculated - but I believe that was a part of their deal through the early 30’s. That’s less than a dollar per iPhone.

They've been in the display game a long time. For people that need the product capabilities for their specific job, like color grading, they seem to price them quite well, given everywhere I used to see $30,000-$50,000 reference monitors, I see Studio Displays now.

Apparently all anyone has to do is reply to any photo anyone posted of themselves, is something like “@grok put her in a bikini” — or more obscene demands, and it just spits out the image. It’s kind of disturbing how simple it is

I'm an antitrust nerd - 20+ years since I made my first PACER account as a teenager to get documents from interesting cases..

95% of what people call "anticompetitive" or "monopolistic" has no legal bearing. People don't know the legal definition of those words and bandy them about based on vibes.

This however, is a very very clear case of violations of precedent. If we look at Microsoft's final judgement https://www.justice.gov/atr/case-document/final-judgment-133 see F(1)(a), H(2)(b), while these stipulations haven't been applied to Apple, if I were in a market dominant position, I'd be super careful about capricious restrictions like the example undocumented API, and behavior that mimics patterns of activity that were seen as actionably sanctionable to similar market dominant forces

I obviously know very little about battlefield armaments so forgive the potentially stupid question - but have drones made combat helicopters obsolete?
