AbstractH24

It's still unclear to me how much I'd have to use a Chinese model to equal my Claude Max subscription price.

There's something to say for flat pricing rather than per token. Even if its not a better deal.

I had to do a double take to realize why this wasn't week old news.

Getting hard to keep track of opus vs sonnet vs....

Assume 6 will be announced on around an IPO?

Main reason I keep using Brave is its "good enfough."

The CTO at my company recommended Brave in 2019; I figured why not and have found a compelling reason to change.

The "elephant in the room" paragraph actually is making me consider Vivaldi. Its still Chromium, so it will support all my plugins, and I use NextDNS so most of ads will be blocked anyway. And its not like its amazing, but I've just never heard anyone rave of a browser that was particularly efficent either.

Pretty much

The analogy to Amazon works on all sorts of levels. From Amazon.com vs AWS to Amazon.com vs sellers

I mean its what universities have done for years haven't they?

Never really wondered what financial relationship between research hospitals that participate in drug trials and pharma companies is, but now I'm wondering...

I recently heard Anthropic quietly setup its own bio lab.

That it’s plausible that they’ll move from selling tokens as their primary source of revenue to building frontier models to do cutting edge research, and using the research as their primary source of revenue rather than release the models. Because it’ll be far less of a race to the bottom than commodified tokens used by the general public.

Will be interesting to see how this all unfolds. (No pun intended, but there is a funny one there…)

What is Grammarly anymore, even? Is it Superhuman? Is it Fathom? And what are either of those even?

Even before all that, I switched to Quillbot because Grammarly would always mess up the formatting in my emails in gmail (but only when you viewed it from mobile). Quillbot isn't totally better than that, but at least its cheaper.

The minute you start looking at other non-frontier models, you understand why Dario, Altman, and Musk are coming together to say we need regulation.

None are as good yet, but what everyone said is coming true - models are not moats. And these folks need an exit (even Msuk whose shares are still locked)

I think these AI leaders give a little will be over interpreted as giving a lot, put the brakes on legislation, and basically rerun the social media playbook.

In 5 or 10 years everyone will once again be “why did we let this happen?”

So this basically is a way to get ahead of legislation and the industry to self regulate

Because 75-80% still allows them to overhaul society.

Why is that a trick?

It’s part the model they use your emails to target you with ads

The blocks that fustrate me more are tool permisissions. I ask to do something then flip to another screen and come back to see it never started

I'll be honest, i'm not up to date on the concept of a harness. Where should I look to learn more?

That’s how it seemed last year, but I never even took the type to look into it past hearing others discuss it on message boards or podcasts. I’ll be honest.

Just saw an ad for someone selling headless servers preloaded with OpenClaw that’ll sort your emails. A tool I really would like, particularly if it uses open models. Made me wonder if it’s time to investigate it and implementing what they’re selling.

Those are all the things I have now. But thank you for offering your service

Waht is Hugging Face's protective moat?

Why can't everyone on it just move elesehwere?

Guess the answer is scale, same reason folks don't leave twitter/x.

Most of this I was aware of, but it underscores a tension between things I want to see and things I want to model to think of.

Would be nice if it was easier to separate output that needs to live in context and stuff I just want to look at.

One thing I wasn’t aware of was the negative impact of switching models

Either this article fails to go into sufficient detail or it’s pop-science

Most of this seems pretty common knowledge

Probably

Most conditions are like that, particularly ones where the underlying cause is poorly understood. We see symptoms that lookalike and assume they all point to the same thing

I’d say strategy, which is a subset of management

I see a tailscale product that is basically “middleware for agents” using whatever buzzword you feel (maybe “orchestration”) coming soon

It feels like Anthropic has made this game of “trust me, I’m the good guy” the thing to do in 2026

Flip side “get ahead of the narrative before we’re thrown under the bus”

> I don't know if OpenAI thinks this is a marketing / PR angle for them

Worked for Anthropic earlier this year

My whole internet went down about an hour ago here in NYC. Came back after about 20 minutes

Is there some larger outage going on?

My gut tells me most do, but would love for someone to do some actual analysis of it.

> Too much friction in notebookLM

This was my main problem with it. Loved it otherwise, but the lack of an API or other automation so I could dump stuff in it and have a podcast ready to download and listen to on my subway ride made me turn away.

I have epilpsy, with an implanted device that both acts like a pacemaker and records my brainwaves.

Basically my doctor's biggest concern right now is making sure I don't die in my sleep because of something the device records that I and my wife never even know happened. Its a point of debate right now how much to disrupt my life with side-effects to do that.

Its easy to identify the problem its hard to time it or optimize for it.

Like any hype cycle some of it is… hype

And like anything in the world things change.

So will there be change in the way we code? Certainly. Are some claims overstated? Certainly.
