Re:Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet? on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @07:56PM (#49902509)
Right, and it would be simple to un-nerf or shadow nerf by any kind of angle they want.
About 3/s
Re:Jeeves. Reasoning improves Jev-like decision models on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @08:21AM (#49891975)
Seems like this is the way, a hybrid approach where some of the pipeline will be jev like and some traditional LLM depending on the nature of the work.
Re:OpenAI Feared "Optics" of what might appear on Hacker News on Sunday September 27, 2026 @08:21AM (#49866059)
A one time settlement for this would be laughable. They should pay royalties in perpetuity or be dismantled.

Construction was never the best metaphor for programming. The compiler constructs the code. Software dev is closer to building architecture than construction.

Meaning is clear? Sure ok. 1984.

I told my team to smack me upside the head if I ever try to ship something so daft as that.
Re:AMD's random number generator can't generate a 0? on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @08:48AM (#49800385)
There's an edge case somewhere that will affect a real user when you can't get a zero. Forecasting simulations perhaps?
Re:Claude Status – Elevated errors for multiple models on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @07:18AM (#49799439)
The Mac M series is more impressive imo. But maybe that's just because it's more recent to me.

Betty from accounting will have words.
This is probably the best way to read it: Do not presume to correct another person while remaining blind to your own faults. Examine and correct yourself first; only then are you in a position to help your brother with his.

It literally is meant as a beam, a bit of exaggeration for emphasis.

So we are meant to assess and help others but first must correct our own selves.

Re:The most important product decision is what you don't build on Thursday September 17, 2026 @05:38PM (#49746933)
The one I get constantly is we want "custom reporting". Well what the hell is that really? Why, why, why do you need that? Then I just build a new feature they will actually use and defer "custom reporting" for another month.

Welcome to management.
I do it all the time. Am I stable? Depends who you talk too.

Right? Growing up in the eighties we'd twist, stand on them, double up, back flip out of them.

You won't have any real power in that scenario, you'll just be shut off.

This was routed internally to CatGPT which runs only Vera ribbon.

I make my brother look older and plumper in most pics he sends me. It makes me laugh.

Hopefully you get a decked out command center too.
Re:Nobody Is Saying Why OpenAI and Anthropic Had Outages on Friday September 04, 2026 @03:08PM (#49568853)
Did you negotiate extra hard for the 'Incident Commander' title? I'm a bit jealous to be honest.
Re:Corporate America Is Getting Hooked on Open-Source A.I on Friday September 04, 2026 @01:17PM (#49567426)
At our small company we are hooked on individual subs. But yeah a larger dev shop can't really pull that off and I get how they'd be dying by the token cost.

Yes, I pretty much took August off waiting for the next version.

Re:Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX on Saturday August 29, 2026 @09:39AM (#49489838)
Can't cursor just use open router? This might backfire on them and push more money to second tier good enough models.
