Distilled off of OpenAI and Anthropic models
Predatory is probably the correct word. You’ve got better odds at a casino which says a lot.
Thinking that it was just a one off claim in a single text was my initial suspicion here, as someone who knows nothing about the subject. If it’s repeated across other “texts” (didn’t they use clay tablets?) then so much for that.
I’ve never gotten a refund from Athropic.

This. Before LLMs there was copilot which repeated a lot. Then before that we had copy paste and stack overflow.

Wonder what LLM op is using? I find that using one LLM to review the other catches a lot of this. For example having Codex do the work then CC /simplify and /code-review. Claude md has three lines one of which is DRY.

You still have to look at the diffs because it won’t have external knowledge to the codebase or make the best decisions.

It does find bugs and keep things simple.

I let it have elevated permissions and it started doing some crazy things like figuring out I had zsh and running zshell commands instead of the common ones.
Its what’s not in the food like additives, preservatives, pesticides, gmos and growth hormone. EU has stricter regulations.
I don’t know. There are other countries that have those properties. I am envious of Western Europe’s healthcare, social safety net, healthier food and holidays that you don’t work on.

The comment came about from the last charts show religion, patriotism, etc down while money rose. It clicked.

No offense but outside of money does the US have anything going for it?

10% from what to what? Japanese companies are not famous for pay.

I don’t think this stands for General Linear Model.

Same. With no new NVIDIA gaming GPUs this year, seems like an interesting problem to solve.

Wow. V100. That brings back memories. Way to go.
In some of those locations non-citizens can vote in local elections, like Maryland and San Francisco. Also in some of those locations you get registered by the DMV, like California, and non citizens mistakenly have voted in Federal elections (which is a crime).

Note I am not endorsing the latter as it can come up in future citizenship applications.

California and New York are the most famous examples but asking perplexity I got:

As of the current 2026 rules, the states that do not require ID at the polls are: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin, plus Delaware has a special affidavit process if you do not have ID

Holy shit why is this comment buried?! This is exactly the purpose.
Well, based on the state your in you can still vote citizenship or not.

When Wes McKinney wrote about the transition away from python I knew it was real. https://wesmckinney.com/blog/agent-ergonomics/

I still have a special place in my heart for the language and think it’s still got a niche.

HN loves UO. Before this was MUDs on Telnet and the like. Text based but very fun.
Yeah don’t understand. It’s a lot easier to just build your own.
How do you see the increase in robotics and AI on your work over the next couple of years? Will demand drop in general or will we continue to see an influx of people with a diminishing amount of jobs?
Once the bench is public it’s out and probably in the training data. Better to have your own and test it on a new model.

It’s funny how corporations get a bar wrap. Have you ever worked with private equity? Bad to worse.
