I don't know what they did but opus is really good while Astra/Sol are comparably bad. For my own tests and taste this might be the first time (fable perhaps excluded) where claude models are better than openai, since codex 5.3.
what i found to work well with me is Fable for design / ideas and Sol for implementation. Codex models just tend to be more attentive and follow through instructions. Whereby claude models are weaker on this area (they tend to cut corners).
Claude models tend to cut corners during design/ideation too. It becomes especially visible once you pair Sol as advisor to Fable. Sol will start going crazy - "hey, you said this, and it's actually false, i checked that", or "you need a hash chained, triple encrypted, secure-enclave backed storage for this".
But I actually prefer it this way. Sol is a master of overengineering and being overly scrupulous, so Fable balances this out, and I can always say "don't listen to Sol's advisory" about 50% of the time.
I'm curious to know the hype behind the hiring for Karpathy and Noam. In the sense that did oai and anthropic do that for sort of long term and potential new directions (investing in them so they come up with the new transformer). Because it definitely cannot be just a regular filling vacant roles.
Because I think as far as running the existing models and handling whatever nuances, it must be well understood by oai and ANT -- but you don't what you don't know.
I'm not sure whether Elon's interests are in the model. Maybe the existing distribution channel which is cursor's users?
The whole ai business models seems tough to comprehend. Huge amounts being passed from one player to the other.
I find this to put my psql in a better place as a daily driver. Adding this to ~/.inputrc [1] will allow you to limit search on your entered text. Eg.
select (up arrow)
will loop through your psql history for commands that started with e.g., . The challenging part is in wide tables and or table with large data. Less is awkward usually so using pspg made it less awkward.
I tried also to with help of ai, to write a plugin for sublime that fits my flow. It worked well but I think I'm more used to psql.
in my region (middle east) facebook marketplace is the defacto listing. I know craiglist (just from me being on internet for so long) but i don't think it operates here. And for sellers they also only know facebook.
I'd rather not post invite links here directly out of concern for spamming, but I can leave some easy-to-follow breadcrumbs.
The decomp.me Discord server invite link can be readily found on that website and in the README of its GitHub repository. It's the closest thing to a central hub of the decompilation community. You can find some invite links in its chat history by searching for "discord.gg" (including the servers listed below).
Some of these Discord servers have a #other-servers or #related-servers channel with tons of invite links to other similar Discord servers. In particular, these servers have those channels:
- PS1/PS2 Decompilation
- GC/Wii Decompilation
That way, you should be able to find dozens and dozens of Discord servers on that topic. There are still many more out there (I've joined at least six others that aren't directly reachable from the invite links inside the servers I've mentioned).
There are also other Discord servers about reverse-engineering that can contain discussions about decompilation techniques or projects.
I mostly don't use Discord, but I'm intrigued how this system works. If the invite link is already posted on the project website and the readme of a Github repository, why would putting it in a Hacker News comment risk spammers?
First, because personally I think it's bad etiquette to post an invite link publicly on large, open-access forums like Hacker News.
Second, because while the biggest decompilation Discord servers have effective moderation team and processes, the vast majority are just a server for a project from one or a couple of persons with <100 members joined. Such small servers don't have round-the-clock moderation or customized settings.
Third, because I regularly see phishing crypto spam posted in the smaller servers. Spreading invite links publicly carelessly increases the odds that these scammers find them and spam them.
The part I don't understand is how posting the link on HN is different from posting it on Github. I'm wondering for example if Github has some sort of extra bot protection HN does not, or if there's some cultural difference I'm not aware of or seeing.
Discord servers are more like a hangout place than a public forum and public invite links are like putting a key under a mat. Just because the owners of a Discord server put it on their public webpage or GitHub repository doesn't mean it's cool to spread it around willy-nilly.
There are also practical concerns. An invite link that needs to be deleted (for example due to spam abuse) means that it will no longer work. Updating all the places where that old link appeared to the new one can be impractical or impossible.
HN isn't a good place to share Discord invite links. I'd recommend putting an email address (or something) in your bio – ideally one you don't mind getting spammed – so people can send such things to you semi-privately.
The gemini/ai part aside, but I really like this revival of passion for PCs and Laptops. Totally anecdotal here and I could have definitely spend couple of minutes to research the marketing numbers, but I cannot help but feel happy with Framework, Panther Lake and Dell XPS and of course the mini Mac and Macbook family. I feel like there were years when center of attention had turned to mobile/ipads (and consoles) which were severly locked down to the point of no use point their intended creators purpose. I felt bad my siblings never get hooked into my old PC, as they went from PS3 to phones.
Previous cycles were fueled by retail, with an industry trying to legitimize itself.
This cycle is about max extraction and fraud - Legitimized by the presidential family cashing out billions in meme coins, insider trading and forks of existing protocols.
Hacks have also been hitting hard. North Korea has stolen 500m this year alone and 2b last year.
So… no thriving. On the opposite. Dying is a more appropriate word at this time. Some would call this an opportunity. I see more pain ahead.
No wonder Coinbase is laying off people with the excuse of AI. The reality is that volume is zero. At this stage only me and a bunch of other retail weirdos keep on buying bitcoin paycheck by paycheck…
IMO there's actually an opposite effect going on: Retail was never the main driver behind crypto pricing. Think of it like this: If every US adult purchased $1000 in BTC, that purchase would represent a level of volume that BTC, otherwise & at today's historically low volume, takes about 5 days to clear. BTC volume is too high to be explained by retail.
Crypto volume comes from institutional liquidity, not retail. All of that liquidity has moved from crypto to AI. It turns out that the liquidity wasn't actually interested in the technology or the philosophy; they were interested in outsized ROI. Think of BTC not as a currency, but as a share of stock in the crypto technology sector.
Idiots who were getting fleeced by shitcoin pump and dumps are now getting fleeced by insiders betting on heads of state being assassinated.
That's the problem with building your castle on a quicksand whose fundamentals aren't in the same order of magnitude as the market cap you command. When all you truly offer is gambling, eventually a shinier casino will open up and eat your lunch.
