Any reason to think that open models will not catch up, given enough time?

We don't fund Hamas with our tax dollars. Actually, Israelis were funding Hamas with their tax dollars not too long ago. I wonder why?

Also, this is what most of Gaza looks like now. Are you aware of this? https://static.972mag.com/www/uploads/2025/01/IMGL8385.jpg

Is this a joke?

Straight from IDF soliders:

One incident did leave a scar. It happened at an army outpost in southern Gaza. "I was sitting there in the command room," Maya says. "Suddenly, the soldiers on watch noticed five Palestinians crossing the line they weren't allowed to cross, heading for northern Gaza.

"Everybody went crazy. There was a big mess. The battalion commander gave an order to overwhelm them with fire, even though they hadn't been confirmed as armed or anything like that. A tank started shooting at them with its machine gun. Hundreds of bullets."

She says four of the five Palestinians were killed. "A few hours later, a D9 [Caterpillar armored bulldozer] buried them in the sand. When I asked why, they said that it was so the dogs wouldn't eat them and spread disease. The one who survived was put in a cage at the outpost, and they said we had to wait for a Shin Bet man to interrogate him."

The Palestinian sat there, cuffed and blindfolded, and seemed to be freezing from the cold. "Suddenly, one of the soldiers took out his penis and started pissing on him. He told him, 'This is for Be'eri, you asshole, this is for Nova'"– Kibbutz Be'eri and the Nova music festival, two of the sites attacked by Hamas on October 7, 2023. "Nobody could stop laughing. I might have laughed too."

Look up the article in Ha'aretz recently "IDF Soldiers Talk About the 'Moral Injury' – and the Silence" for another example of this. I mean, I am glad they are talking about it, but the way it is framed is maddening.

Based on recent stories on Ukraine signing agreements with GCC countries, it is Russian oil money vs Gulf oil money now.

This makes no sense. Do you vote based on principles and policy or do you vote based on the behavior of people who have nothing to do with government?

Maybe time for Anthropic to leave the US. Come to Australia :)

You are exactly right. People on this site complaining how these topics are not tech related are absolute fools.

Very interesting, seems like a good framework to test and experiment with memory. I am curious why it wasn't able to solve it considering it is a well known game. Would be interesting if puzzle games like this could be generated so we know it's not already been trained on it.

I wonder if the improvements due to different memory system approaches apply in a similar way to tasks that are in its training history vs those that are not.

Yup. Gemini CLI needs a lot of work.

I've written a few terminal tools on top of Roslyn to assist Claude in code analysis for C# code. Obviously the tools are also written with the help of Claude. Worked quite well.

How many do you need to run inference for 1 user on a model like Opus 4.5?

I was thinking about this the other day. If we did a plot of 'model ability' vs 'computational resources' what kind of relationship would we see? Is the improvement due to algorithmic improvements or just more and more hardware?

What's the chance of getting Opus 4.5-level models running locally in the future?

What's interesting to me is how little this whole situation is being talked about here. Not a single topic on the front page while ICE agents are routinely pulling people (including US citizens) out of cars, breaking into houses and shooting people on the street.
