Re:Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.I on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @01:50PM (#50356397)
They used to prioritize accuracy first, then speed second.

Now it's just speed. This is a grave error.

Re:Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.I on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @12:52PM (#50355462)
It hallucinates so frequently, that I've found it unusable. Just ask it to provide sources for all of its claims, then watch how many times it reverses its original answer. It's mind-boggling to me. I've repeatedly tried to give Google AI Search a chance, but after weeks of seeing this behavior I can't trust it anymore.

Imagine winning search by being the fastest and most accurate, then replacing it w/ constant hallucinated errors.

It also lets you message between Claude Code and Codex sessions. If you're using Claude Code, their built-in messaging system only can see/message other Claude Code sessions (for obv reasons).

This is an unlock, because these companies will (prob) never build this feature.

Re:After automation: Solo founding will be the default on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @05:02PM (#50187579)
You're paying for effective token usage. You've simplified "automation" to mean "perfect automation". That's not going to happen for a long time, and likely never.

However, automation may likely become good enough that an SME can build the initial system to bootstrap the business. Not scale the business, but enough to prove that it's viable.

I love the concept, but the `.chatgpt.site` suffix reflexively makes me think of those early-2000s era sites.
Re:Supabase Is Acquiring Turso on Friday October 02, 2026 @01:17PM (#49936031)
Isn't this what this sounds like? You self-host Turso at the start, and you can gracefully scale to managed Turso (cloud), then to managed Postgres (Supabase). And Turso has experimental support for a Postgres frontend (alongside the SQLite frontend).

Re:Solaris, Our Interface World Models on Monday August 31, 2026 @04:17PM (#49514390)

Their analogy is that a VLM responds to text, like their interface model responds to clicks. There is no UI (just images), and based on your clicks the model infers your intent and adapts the "UI" in response. So, instead of inferring intent from an information-dense input (text), they do it w/ just mouse-based gestures? I would love to see how this holds up in practice.

A fun little anecdote @ 54s in the video: "It becomes whatever you ask of it. And no two interactions are ever the same."

They make money on enterprise plans: https://www.experientiallabs.ai/pricing#enterprise

Look at the Intelligence features in the Enterprise plan:

* Per-prompt model optimization

* Caching

* A model you own, trained on your traffic

Re:Small Models Have Arrived on Thursday August 27, 2026 @08:06PM (#49472821)
FrontierCode is prob the closest. [1] It's closed source (so no direct benchmaxxing), and it was calibrated by 20+ open source maintainers. It shows Opus 5 (medium), beating out the other reasoning levels by a large margin. i.e. Opus 5 w/ higher reasoning levels actually reduces performance. [2]

However, you'll have to gauge for yourself how closely their tasks resemble your tasks.

Re:Anthropic: Introducing The Conceptual Reasoning Index on Thursday August 13, 2026 @10:56AM (#49286999)
"Advanced" can just mean that agents perform actions at a high enough velocity that a human operator can't reasonably review it. i.e. what is already possible today.
Re:The End of No Code on Thursday August 06, 2026 @02:51PM (#49200731)
I feel like there's going to be a migration to a new interface paradigm that's balanced between agentic use and human review (with light editing). The current low/no code UIs are human-centric (visual, point-and-click). Going full agent-centric greatly increases the chance of slop code. You want an interface that an agent can natively drive, but that a human can still reasonably review and lightly edit. Probably a domain-specific text-based interface.
Re:Mitchellh starts a new company: Superlogical on Wednesday July 29, 2026 @08:08PM (#49104663)
They can at least deliver baseline value, because it's all text-based. Do agree that it'll become more complex, when/if they decide to create custom protocols.
The prefix cache is a resource shared by all users. This is basically a tragedy of the commons.
Re:Separating signal from noise in coding evaluations on Wednesday July 08, 2026 @06:17PM (#48838130)
The more subtle point is that there's a gap between the task and its verification. e.g. if you have an open-ended / under-specified prompt, the verification needs to be able to handle all potential solutions.

So you can have a very narrow task prompt that's easy to verify (but likely too simple of a challenge). Or a more realistic task prompt that's much harder to verify. And likely harder to both build the robust verifier and run it cheaply.

Re:Qwen-AgentWorld: Language World Models for General Agents on Wednesday June 24, 2026 @03:57AM (#48656638)
Here's the demo: https://docs.qwenlm.ai/resources/mlu56_demo.html

Here's the description of the world model prompt for the web domain: "A precise GUI state simulator — given the current screen (as HTML) and a user action, predicts the exact next screen as a complete, self-contained HTML document." (You can click the world model prompt box to expand it and see the full prompt.)

So the world model generates the current state (an html document), an agent tells it what action it wants to perform, the world model generates the next state (another html document).

The other domains are similar, but w/ domain-specific nuance.

Re:The Coming Loop on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @02:48PM (#48649559)
How much does /goal actually help? In auto mode, I've tried using and not using /goal and I haven't felt a difference.

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/goal#how-evaluation-works

> /goal is a wrapper around a session-scoped prompt-based Stop hook. Each time Claude finishes a turn, the condition and the conversation so far are sent to your configured small fast model, which defaults to Haiku. The model returns a yes-or-no decision and a short reason. A “no” tells Claude to keep working and includes the reason as guidance for the next turn. A “yes” clears the goal and records an achieved entry in the transcript.

> The evaluator runs on whichever provider your session is configured for. It does not call tools, so it can only judge what Claude has already surfaced in the conversation.

Apparently, it uses Haiku (by default) to evaluate every turn to determine if the goal has been achieved. However, it only relies on the transcript itself (including the reasoning of the main model). It can't independently verify if the goal has been achieved. So, if the main model thinks the goal is or isn't done, how often does Haiku disagree (in a productive way)? That's not clear to me.

Re:We got our AI code reviewer to run your code on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @04:17PM (#48576225)
Are the "clicks around the UI" converted into end-to-end tests eventually? e.g. via playwright.
So, how is it being disabled? It still shows "Fable 5" on all surfaces (to me). Is it being silently degraded to Opus under-the-hood?

Edit: Fable 5 was just disabled.

Re:Claude Fable 5 on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @02:37PM (#48465531)

Re:Is AI causing a repeat of Front end's Lost Decade? on Friday May 29, 2026 @10:11AM (#48323348)
a11y testing is non-trivial. axe-core can automatically detect many types of issues. However, enough compliance (to avoid being sued) needs end-to-end testing and human judgement. e.g. keyboard traps, focus restoration, alt-text, etc.
