I read it as a models performance being random and observed differences in the opinions are the results of the overinterpretation of the random outcomes.

I think however that some people seem to be always lucky which indicates that it is not random but rather some fixed differences between people and their environments.

It seems that people have different workflows or repos, or memories or prompts or expectations.

Few of the best sessions I have ever had with claude went into 700-800k territory.

I frequently reach 400-600k without visible (to me) signs of quality regression.

One being that extrapolating from like 3 data points is hardly science. All trends break at some point.

The other is that the measures to prevent distillation of their models (if it was a secret sauce of Chinese models) could work if nobody is allowed to use them.

Both sides have very good arguments and from the side it looks like either way the Switzerland has to give up some asoects of its high quality of life.

If the initiative succeeds, Switzerland will get a large hit from the cancelation of a lot of bilateral agreements with the EU.

If the population exceeds 10M then the current rail and road infrastructure will not handle it well.

I have already been on a train which refused to move due overload. And it would only depart if enough people have disembarked. The autobahn are already having hours long traffic jams at peak hours and with extra million people it will multiply.

And it's almost impossible to significantly improve the throughput of rail and autobahn without extreme projects.

It looks like a lose / lose situation is a sense and a people are going to decide which hit to take.

In my experience the text for the Claude has only one requirement - the intent and meaning must be there.

The text for Claude doesn't need structure. Doesn't need style. Doesn't need formatting. Doesn't need deeper thought. The only important thing is that it includes somewhere somehow the relevant bits of information.

The quality of prose I throw at him is below what I would show to any other human. I just turn on my microphone, keep dictating whatever comes to my mind and I think might be relevant. After this is done I may or may not ask Claude to rephrase what I wrote before keeping it as memory.

On the other hand people judge you for what and HOW you type. They complain about it.

It's in my experience that people will generally judge a programmer much more for the quality of his outputs than the number of them. So if your target are other humans - it's better to have no docs than bad docs. For claude it's the other way around.

I'm using https://github.com/cjpais/Handy whichseems to be doing exactly what this app does, and has a very similar background story (author couldn't type die to injury).

In 2018 I witnessed one guy with no prior coding experience who built a tool that after a month of coding was making very decent money (more than me), just because he was aware of a particular niche.

He showed me parts of his code and it was as bad as my first program, but his was solving a real life problem.

I have a close family member with actual attention deficit and extreme hyperactivity.

You cannot mistake it with normal bored kid.

It's like his brain works at 100% intensity all the time.

When you walk with him through the town, he has to touch every door knob, climb every tree, look into every single car, peep into every hole. In a room he finds new object so interesting that he absolutely has to investigate it, for like 30 seconds and then finds another thing and another and another. 24/7. You see his body is tired, almost falling asleep, but his brain won't stop, he keeps finding new distractions he can't ignore.

You would never mistake it for just a regular bored kid.

Claude works in his own separate vm with root access, git remote set to my local copies of repository no github access etc.

I think he could still hurt me if he really wanted, but most scary stories I heard were about LLM making really bad judgements rather than actively trying to break out and do harm.

It got them to be world's greatest power for a century.

I keep it offline in airplane mode permanently from 2016 and haven't seen a single ad in a long long time.

What is discontinued is integration with Amazon account. Which seems fair to me to be fair.

A lot of people believe that spam issue would be largely solved if each email costed 0.001$

Swiss culture of democracy in unique in the world and is unique among 100% white countries. It's bread among others from its unique geography and history.

Swiss are genetically indistinguishable from French, German, Italian or Austrian neighbors.

When did culture developed, other 100% white countries (which many didn't exist in their modern shape) like Slavic states, Nordic states, Germanic states, French, Spanish, Portugal, Italian, Greek, Balkan etc. All of them have not developed anything like Switzerland.

Credit goes to very specific swiss culture, and the claim that it is what you get of you put white people together... just doesn't hold.

And the swiss neutrality was just a pragmatic decision at a time and today the concept of neutrality is often being questioned in Switzerland while the democratic system is not.

But it's not the consequence of the skin color or the neutrality. All European countries have been practically 100% white until not long ago with vastly different outcomes.

Tin my observation the main advantage of swiss system is the institution of the referendum.

It means that every major decision is decided by the people. The elected government decides on the 99.9% other issues.

The consequence of this system is that absolute majority of public discourse focuses on the issues and problems and not party affiliation.

So e.g. the most consequential election isn't the one where you have to choose the guy who will make everything great again, but e.g. the referendum if the country should spend billions over the next decades on the new tunnel under alps instead of other infrastructure projects.

If you intend to sell it to the highest bidder eventually then what difference does it make what was your plan?

If a business had real values then they would never sell out (see lichess).
