DonsDiscountGas··on We're extending access to Fable 5 on all paid plans through July 12
I pay that much and don't even use Fable because everything I do involves biology
DonsDiscountGas··on How Kalshi Infects the News
Maybe people read it as an endorsement rather than an observation. No biggy, just Internet points. Though you have apparently rescued me from -2 to +5 so thank you.
DonsDiscountGas··on How Kalshi Infects the News
Not really. It's easy "content"for them and adds a veneer of quantitative rigor to what would otherwise be pure vibes.
DonsDiscountGas··on Do you need separate systems when you already have Postgres?
I suspect a lot of this is resume driven design.
DonsDiscountGas··on Ask HN: Why are so many "AI evangelists" posting such insufferable content?
Midwits
DonsDiscountGas··on Claude Fable 5 Promotional Access
I really hope they improve their guardrails. It's useless to me in life science.
DonsDiscountGas··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2026)
There's usually a freelancer thread too you may have better luck there
DonsDiscountGas··on ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2
"might" means pure speculation
DonsDiscountGas··on Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions
I've always instructed Claude to check the policies first, frankly I'm surprised it's not smart enough to do that already. Would be easy to add to a system prompt. But usually it doesn't matter because many projects have no policies, or maybe they exist but only in hidden forum posts issues or something.
DonsDiscountGas··on Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5
I could barely use Fable before (I work in life science) and now they're adding more restrictions? Well good thing Opus is solid
DonsDiscountGas··on Claude Sonnet 5
I haven't because I'm not made of money but maybe I will
DonsDiscountGas··on Claude Code is steganographically marking requests
The original announcement page mentioned this. It was very obvious. That's why so many people noticed it immediately, because it was announced.
DonsDiscountGas··on Claude Sonnet 5
I'd love if they would include speed (though I know there are difficulties involved). At this point the quality of Opus 4.8 is no longer my limiting factor, it's the speed, so a faster model would be great.
DonsDiscountGas··on Tidal AI Policy
This isn't a problem which needs to be solved perfectly, at least in this context. If some electronic music creators (using 2015 level technology) get reduced play and some fully AI music gets through the filters it's really fine.
DonsDiscountGas··on 'Careless People' author claims Meta surveilled her for 12mos to enforce silence
Median pay is $390k
DonsDiscountGas··on Guy in his basement creates a drug to treat Alzheimer's disease using AI
Opus doesn't do that (at least it never has to me). I'm pretty sure codex doesn't either. It's just Fable
DonsDiscountGas··on OpenAI will delay GPT-5.6 after Trump administration request
Current models are smart enough for me and don't present an existence risk. Good time to show down. Maybe make the models faster and cheaper while preserving performance.
DonsDiscountGas··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
People are allowed to destroy their own property. And anyway if you don't like this state of affairs blame the copyright holders and copyright law
DonsDiscountGas··on Quebec town recognizes trees as living beings with rights
This is like saying guns will be weaponized. The entire point of this is to be a NIMBY weapon.
DonsDiscountGas··on Claude Tag
At any given time, Claude content is like 1 or 2 links out of 30. Which is a lot for one product but I think you're exaggerating a bit.
DonsDiscountGas··on Claude Tag
Probably if we look apps used for work chat I would think slack represents a plurality (and maybe majority) of current Claude users. Teams is probably next (or maybe beats it in terms of raw usage) but I bet integration with slack is easier.
DonsDiscountGas··on The early hiring funnel is now breaking on both ends
Yes the company should be spending that money but it's still an expense that somebody has to pay and should be counted if we're thinking about the system; it doesn't disappear just because you personally agent spending it. And that still leaves travel time which can't be literally reimbursed (only figuratively in money)
DonsDiscountGas··on Openresearch: GLM 5.2 for Autoresearch
Landing page provides zero information
DonsDiscountGas··on The early hiring funnel is now breaking on both ends
Standard and expensive (in terms of time and money) for both the company and the applicant
DonsDiscountGas··on Why Do So Many Everyday Systems Feel Harder to Use Now?
Or change the products on offer
DonsDiscountGas··on US holds off blacklisting DeepSeek, more than 100 firms deemed security risks
"illicit" is throwing shade, but Anthropic can decide not to answer those questions if they don't want to. Plenty of companies don't sell to their competitors
DonsDiscountGas··on How to earn a billion dollars
Okay then what's the maximum, and how did you arrive at that number? Feel free to provide a range
DonsDiscountGas··on Stanford grads walk out on Google CEO Sundar Pichai speech
I've never seen a map of a two state solution which made any sense. It would need to be three IMHO.
DonsDiscountGas··on How to earn a billion dollars
Yes I'm sure that's what AOC meant too but it's not much of an explanation. Who are you to decide what people deserve or earn? And if you're going to decide that perhaps you'd like to provide a better justification, one that doesn't just boil down to "a billion is really really a lot of money".
DonsDiscountGas··on Rio de Janeiro's "homegrown" LLM appears to be a merge of an existing model
I didn't know model merging like that was possible. (Obviously possible from a pure software standpoint but I'm surprised it's effective)
