Good idea, but only if the article can't be edited during that week. What's worth preserving is the version the audience actually read. Articles routinely get ninja-edited after publication, sometimes repeatedly. Changelogs should be mandatory but they're useless if we can't keep them honest.

I noticed the same thing. Every Claude release thread is full of comments saying that it's terrible and why they switched to Codex. And vice versa for Codex release threads. At least its not as bad as /r/localllama that is 90% bots now.

CC is really good at finding ways to work around denied permissions. The only safe solution is some kind of vm.

I am surprised that this company still exists and that they have actual users after all the major security incidents.

New comment by nightshift1 in "Claude's new constitution"

nightshift1 — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 21:17:34 +0000

It says: This constitution is written for our mainline, general-access Claude models. We have some models built for specialized uses that don’t fully fit this constitution; as we continue to develop products for specialized use cases, we will continue to evaluate how to best ensure our models meet the core objectives outlined in this constitution.

I wonder what those specialized use cases are and why they need a different set of values. I guess the simplest answer is they mean small fim and tools models but who knows ?

New comment by nightshift1 in "Measuring AI Ability to Complete Long Tasks"

nightshift1 — Sun, 21 Dec 2025 09:32:24 +0000

I agree. After all, benchmarks don't mean much, but I guess they are fine as long as they keep measuring the same thing every time. Also, the context matter. In my case, I see a huge difference between the gains at work vs those at home on a personal project where I don't have to worry about corporate policies, security, correctness, standards, etc. I can let the LLM fly and not worry about losing my job in record time.

The second graph has this under it:

The length of tasks (measured by how long they take human professionals) that generalist frontier model agents can complete autonomously with 50% reliability has been doubling approximately every 7 months for the last 6 years...

Exactly. With the Intel-Nvidia partnership signed this September, I expect to see some high-performance single-board computers being released very soon. I don't think the atx form-factor will survive another 30 years.

It's perfectly feasible to never use Amazon. I don't know your situation, but i think people should go out more and prefer quality over quantity. Most of the stuff that Amazon sell is crap anyway.
