<p>Doesn't matter if the product is real. 
The idea is to cultivate a sense of wonder and adventure. 
To get people talking about you. 
Then you sell more of the products that are real.</p>

<p>That's not their business model. They won't win on price, but they won't compete on price. Their business model is making the current state of the art.<p>If I'm a business and I  need something done today, and bc Anthropic has the best model, there's a 99.9 chance it will be completed successfully for $1000. And using Deepseek there's a 70% chance it will, for $10 - you or me will go for the $10. Big businesses don't. Bc 1000 per task is nothing to them.</p>

<p>Fixed benchmarks will be debunked eventually I'd think. Better to use synthetic problems.<p>Too easy to game the numbers, and too easy to baselessly accuse companies of gaming the numbers, not to mention how you even define that.</p>

<p>The core idiom I've used for years is deliberately tiny: fully encapsulated custom Web Components that simply re-render when matching an attribute and `window.state` changes. Data model is simply:<p><pre><code>  window.state = new Proxy({}, {
    set(target, key, value) {
      target[key] = value
      document.querySelectorAll(`[data="${key}"]`)
        .forEach(el => el.render?.())
      return true
    }
  })
</code></pre>
handles reactivity.. <a href="https://github.com/digplan/vanilla-light" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/digplan/vanilla-light</a></p>

<p>Got off Gemini before they ended the cli, was not working for me, and went to Codex and opencode/deepseek flash v4 0731 which was working ok.<p>But got the google ai pro free 1 yr student - been liking agy quite alot actually - pretty good weekly allotment. Like the default, Flash 3.7 high.<p>Even bought extra credits I've been hammering it all day long.<p>People talk all day about coding but where this thing amazes me is devops. It hooked itself to discord so i can command it, set up or troubleshoot ssh servers on my home network. Blew my mind a couple times.</p>

<p>Kinda useless to compare simply based on model without considering harness. Different agents handle the context etc completely differently. I would like to start seeing these model vs model comparisons across different harnesses.</p>

<p>Sorry to suggest this but if they charged everyone say $1/mo. it would absolutely help the massive surge from AI coding they seem to have had.<p>I don't like paying for free stuff but gh certainly worth it.</p>

<p>P and NP are classes of computational problems.<p>A problem in P can be solved in polynomial time - the computation required grows relatively slowly as the input size increases. Like sorting a list of numbers.<p>A problem in NP requires exponential time or greater, but a proposed solution can be verified quickly. For example, checking a completed Sudoku puzzle.<p>It is believed but unproven that all problems in NP are NOT in P.</p>

<p>The danger of anthropomorphism is not we elevate the machines, it's that we debase humanity.<p>I also think different ideas get conflated. It may be possible to build a machine that is super-human in the sense it can outperform the human brain in all kinds of measurable ways. Does not imply it possesses all the same qualities of the brain.<p>I respect a number of things Anthropic has published about the ethical issues at stake. But, having an in-house philosopher does invite you to make all kinds of unfalsifiable claims.</p>

<p>Everybody always wants to talk about job losses. It's only part of the larger imperative of preserving human dignity.<p>We don't really have leaders with the maturity and perspective (and lack of self interest) certainly in Government and questionably in tech that can be trusted to advocate for human dignity, so the release of this document from the Pope is a remarkable event.</p>

<p>Don’t quite agree with the implication that if the answer to a problem is readily available (from an LLM) there is no use in the struggle to find the solution.<p>However I think it’s very important to approach such questions objectively, or at least self uninterested, and not as one who’s worried about one’s job or sense of self worth threatened by LLM technology.<p>The value is in the development of one’s own mental faculties. In math classes they tell you you have to work the problems. Even if LLMs become capable of solving entire classes of problems that that set expands over time, the value in developing one’s ability never goes out of style.</p>
