PunchTornado··on How Google got its groove back and edged ahead of OpenAI
I am the opposite. Find GPT 5.2 much worse. Sticking only with gemini and claude.
PunchTornado··on The creator of Claude Code's Claude setup
I don't think he meant like syntax errors, but thinking errors. I get these a lot with CC. Especially for example with CSS. So much useless code it produces, it blows my mind. Once I deleted 50 lines of code and manually added 4 which was enough to fix the error.

I doubt that gemini 3 cannot do it.
PunchTornado··on Google Antigravity
the thing is, I tried it and it took 10 seconds to import all settings from cursor. the moat for vscode clones is really small. i imagine people will jump a lot from clone to clone, like from model to model now.

PunchTornado··on Production RAG: what I learned from processing 5M+ documents
the reranker is a cross encoder that sees the docs and the query at the same time. What you normally do is you generating embeddings ahead of time, independent of the prompt used, calculate cosine similarity with the prompt, select the top-k best chunks that match the prompt and only then use a reranker to sort them.

embeddings are a lossy compression, so if you feed the chunks with the prompt at the same time, the results are better. But you can't do this for your whole db, that's why the filtering with cosine similarity at the beginning.

PunchTornado··on Our efforts, in part, define us
I don't understand how does this help if, yes, communicating, is what we are doing most of the time.

PunchTornado··on Why Romania excels in international Olympiads
The author is Jordan Lasker (also known by internet handle Crémieux). Much of Lasker's work and commentary focuses on race and IQ, and he has promoted eugenics. On X and Substack, Lasker is known for compiling charts on what he calls the "Black-White IQ gap"

PunchTornado··on Meta accessed women's health data from Flo app without consent, says court
I don't think comparisons are useful here. We are dealing with an evil corporation which we all know and it has been proven many times that it broke the law and every time gets away with it. who are you protecting?
PunchTornado··on Meta accessed women's health data from Flo app without consent, says court
here's another one: fb shouldn't use every piece of data they can collect.
PunchTornado··on Meta accessed women's health data from Flo app without consent, says court
> The app people were sending user data to meta with no restrictions on its use

And then meta accessed it. So unless you put restrictions on data, meta is going to access it. Don't you think it should be the other way around? Meta to ask for permission? Then we wouldn't have this sort of thing.
