You don't get infinite monkeys writing Hamlet with just a few monkeys

airstrikeon Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?

This place has fallen off so long ago that people like you consider yourself old timers but don't even follow guidelines

Bad evidence is worse than no evidence.

And you failed to address the specific criticism I made to your point, instead going for an ad hominem / poisoning the well.

In sum, you're out of line, woefully misled, and lacking in logical thinking. Three strikes, you're out.

airstrikeon Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?

You're giving way too much credit to "enterprises" both noticing and publicly airing out their dissatisfaction

Not too mention these companies could easily offer one product to enteprises and another to everyone else

Model nerfing is real

airstrikeon Biology might not be quantum, but its math is quantumlike

I feel like a higher n-dimensional being observing time in a completely different way through those images, as if I could touch the bird at any of those points if I wanted.

Such a simple concept but really remarkable work.

airstrikeon Does Georgism work? Five years later

Yes, you did. Re-read the end of section III, around the part with the final two color coded images.

airstrikeon Gravity seems holographic. What does that mean for reality?

What if the dolls are all grandmas?

airstrikeon Jevmem – automatic project memory for Claude Code, built on Jev

I've recently started trying out a little approach that half makes me cringe as I think of gastown, but sharing FWIW

- All decisions get logged to DECISIONS.md, sequentially

- Before writing a decision, read through past decisions to see if any conflicts

- If no conflicts, encode the decision into the CODE.md

- If any conflicts, ask a Tribunal of 3 agents to find a resolution—each of them should be prompted in slightly different ways

I've only done this for one pretty big project but so far it seems to be working well

airstrikeon First Principles Thinking

"First principles" is just the latest expression ruined by SFBA posers like "orthogonal" and "non-trivial" before it.

airstrikeon Allow Carriers on Planes

Importantly, though, a crewmember doesn't stop by to check if you strapped the car sear correctly

airstrikeon Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?

My grandpa and his dad were both pathologists, so I always appreciate seeing one in the wild.

Thanks for the rec, I'm buying it just so I can explore their world a little bit.

airstrikeon The Mafia may be keeping fentanyl out of Italy

With the minor difference that water is a dangerous, illegal substance.

airstrikeon The Mafia may be keeping fentanyl out of Italy

Yeah but there's always the alternative of not doing coke, heroin, meth or even marijuana.

airstrikeon Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats

Misrepresenting matters of fact with regards to AI capabilities, their perceived threat to the public, as well as unorthodox accounting that wouldn't pass the smell test of a summer intern in Wall Street, all to fuel an unsustainable hype in the hopes that (1) the government enacts regulatory capture to create a moat for AI foundries by fiat and (2) the incoming IPO miraculously fixes the propped up valuations secured in private markets.

First, do no harm.

airstrikeon Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats

> There isn’t any other part of the picture.

Except there is. At the risk of mixing pop references, you're a Sith dealing in absolutes saying "doesn't look like anything to me".

airstrikeon Once Claude can measure something, it can make it faster

airstrikeon Once Claude can measure something, it can make it faster

In Brazil they say you can make things better by first putting a goat in the living room. It's going to shit everywhere, chew, droll, and make a horrible mess.

Take the goat out and your life will improve right away!

The private stock that's about to go public

airstrikeon Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats

You're only seeing part of the picture and you're pissed off about how people dislike the whole other part of the picture you're disregarding.

No wonder it feels confusing.

airstrikeon OpenAI is enlisting an influencer army to make it look 'good for the world'

if anyone reading this wants to effectively pay me six figures to do what I'm already doing on HN, please send an e-mail to the address in my profile

airstrikeon I don't want the details

> What they didn't want was for empathy to become the mechanism by which the organisation absolved itself of having to change.

That line is absolute gold

airstrikeon The human brain is two separate organs, study finds

I think is the 4th time I see this on HN in the last week, and every time we complain that the headline is misleading.

airstrikeon Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence

Sounds like a threat

airstrikeon Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence

> This group came together after OpenAI approached some of its members about establishing an external advisory board. In agreement with OpenAI, they decided to create an independent group and invite others to join.

More like these are the people who didn't refuse

We also want a society that is less greedy but that will never happen.

airstrikeon I am often wrong

Somehow the most relevant comment on the thread is the most downvoted.

I guess lots of people are often wrong.

airstrikeon Why do we need human mathematicians anymore?

Though your points above may all be valid, you're asking us to just accept your view that the parent's wasn't a very robust defense.

Can you provide an explanation for why their claim that (1) and (2) are the hardest parts is false?

Or perhaps provide an alternative definition of Mathematics that is more explanatory than the one they've provided?

airstrikeon Why do we need human mathematicians anymore?

Sounds like you're saying that so long as the LLM with robot arms starts by operating on mice, cows and pigs you're fine with it

airstrikeon US troop deaths during Iran war exceed Pentagon count by at least four

From an outsider's perspective, it's to be expected given the existence of cognitive dissonance.

I just wish people would snap out of it _eventually_

airstrikeon Astra for Law

> One big thing was the overly excessive protective clauses which didn't make sense for reality or conflicted with another.

I'm currently negotiating with someone who I feel is clearly using AI and this is EXACTLY what has been happening
