That's the right question to ask. One honest caveat: The interface seam currently forces the pin at the intermediate. Want me to implement or address the other item first?

It's a meta product. Safe to assume that sooner or later it will be unusable unless you install the latest update so it can continue phoning home.

A woman could be nude for all intents and purposes, but as long as her areola and crotch are still covered by some strained piece cloth that leaves little of what it is supposed to hide to the imagination, it's still a-ok. I can't tell if its an elobrate charade or if the mere thought of female anatomy actually compromised some people's intelligence to such a degree we ended up with this delicious clownshow.

The hypersensitivity to only overly specific areas of skin of some US-based services was bewildering to the average European a decade ago, but we really should be over it by now. The time for frustration and confusion is over, and it ought to be the era of open amusement.

I don't see why it would be. It's transparent to other clients just like it is to the protocol. It cannot be more complex than alternatives by construction.

You can trivially have storage deduplication for the files served via torrent, transparent to the protocol. The most trivial version of this that you can do today with pretty much any client is having a single directory containing files serving multiple overlapping torrents.

> Threat from Russia

Right. Mighty Russia that has been fought to a standstill by its much smaller neighbour is going to provoke a military alliance absolutely dwarfing it into outright war. Not even China is going to back that after having a look at who the more valuable trading partner is.

Being ready for war is reasonable, being afraid or worried is a waste of time, and even irrational in this case.

"Burning spaceship falling into sun has clogged toilet"

I'm not sure that particularly matters at this point?

The response is typically sending diplomats home, cancelling agreements, and sanctions. Something proportional. Not immediate outright war.

You don't need a real basis for a response. There's nobody here enforcing any rules.

If you wanted you could claim you have evidence, without having any. Doesn't matter.

"This better stop or there will be sanctions, and if its not within your power to stop it, tough luck" is a valid response.

Whether that's wise is another question.

Here's a recent example where Germany so far claimed that it tied the attack to Russia, but whether that's actually true is anyone guess (since there's little publicly verifiable information released so far): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Leipzig_Airport_drone_att...

It wouldn't be terribly surprising if Russia was behind it, but on the other hand it wouldn't be the first false flag incident of this war either.

You could have read at least read some of my comments on here to quickly figure out I care about pleasing approximately nobody. Your sibling comment at least had their LLM go over them.

If you wish to continue the psychoanalyst LARP, feel free. Rather than be offended, myself and mine are bound to be further entertained.

And in your estimation, is the LLM correct in qualifying that as a pattern, or is it full of shit?

I could ask an LLM to generate something arguing against whatever yours put out, but I won't. I come here to talk to other people, not their electronic sycophants.

> LLMs average human writing thats out there

Not really, and also they do not vary their writing like humans would. Human writers do not repeat the same pattern over and over as much as LLMs do. They'd get bored of their own writing.

People as a whole are always going to be sick of whichever affectation current popular LLMs have, since they'd be reading a fair bit of that. As a writer you should steer clear of things that would elicit groans in a contemporary audience and "LLM prose" is just the latest addition.

So, as the person you're replying to said, you'll have to get used to this being a new angle from which writing is critiqued. You'll live happier if you don't let your cortisol spike over it. If it is any comfort, writers will eventually adjust and you'll encounter less of it.

"AI solves niche thing you've never heard of" is a daily headline at this point. What's genuinely cool isn't that AI managed to solve some specific problem only a handful of people even cared about, it's that humanity can now cheaply clean up its backlog of such things.*

That does not mean that specific instances of it are still very interesting though. This article is the "I had claude vibecode a thermostat for my bathtub" of cryptography.

* And in this case I'm not sure it even meets that bar. For all we know a couple readers back when the book released had a delightful afternoon with it, solved the riddle, then forgot about it.

> I am in your car. I am in your maps.

That's the worst villain monologue I've ever heard, but unintentionally funny. Somehow appropriate for someone sharing his name with a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure villain.

It appears we're setting the scene for another round of hapless protectionist policy.

The time where even a token justification was necessary has long passed, so I'm surprised they bothered.

In a sane world this would still pass as satire.

In our world I'm not sure whether a human even read the entire thing before publishing it. There's absolutely nothing of substance in here.

Smaller models are also generally faster, so thinking "more" may not matter and may even come out ahead.

The US absolutely should expect for their industry to get hit in a conflict like that.

China knows that the general attitude towards war in the US population is strongly skewed by the fact that they haven't had to deal with the fallout of war on their home turf in recent memory. To the US, war is currently something that happens somewhere else, not at home.

In a conflict, it would just be smart to correct that attitude immediately, and China has the means to do so. Many data centers, major refineries, large industrial targets, and important pieces of the US' supply chain I'd expect to not last the week.

Also China is not going to sit there, taking a beating, and let the US keep the support base that allows them project power overseas (including attitude to war) when it is within China's means to severely cripple the US' ability to do so. China has the home-turf advantage, allowing them to fight the same war for cheaper, guaranteeing victory even if the US retaliates in kind.

Will there be a conflict over Taiwan though? I strongly suspect that if China started blockading Taiwan tomorrow, no other power would do anything about it, because there's no realistic path to win that conflict. It might just get handed over with no shots fired.

There'd be meetings, and negotiating tables, and strongly worded threats, and sanctions, but eventually some agreement would be signed for the transfer of Taiwan.

In my experience, yes, the irredeemable bigot is rare. For everyone else, regardless of whether their political views are unknown to you or they are threatening your personal way of life, the world will be a better place for you being good neighbors with them. Not to mention that it will improve your own living situation as well.

Most bigotry doesn't come from an inherent maliciousness or evil. It's often just limited experience and never having had reason to reflect on one's views. If you instinctively go "fuck off bigot", you're not only not helping, you're their mirror image.

To be clear, there's a point at which you have to be intolerant of intolerance, but starting off with that is not only counterproductive by reinforcing echo chambers and increasing division, it also makes you not unlike the thing you're opposed to.

Somehow I doubt that after a war with China, satellites would be high on the priority list of things that need rebuilding.

You'd probably start with rebuilding more basic manufacturing and refinery industry destroyed during the war.

What if you were friendly with your neighbor, but on the way to return a shovel you get hit by a bus?

Point being: you're dreaming up edge cases, presumably as a justification for... what? Refusing to engage with people who don't wear their political views like a badge on their chest?

If your stance honestly is "we cannot be friends unless I know your political views", then those who keep their views to themselves in the face of that are wise.

If you look at the score distribution, Grok and Opus 5 especially stand out for doing consistently well and rarely ever scoring under 50%. Basically they always at give you something that at least works.

Most others, especially and famously Fable 5.1, seem to have a fair chance of completely failing, despite also sometimes excelling.

You will always have someone say "you should rewrite it in x", but it's rare that something carves out so much ground on the Pareto front you'll get a crowd.

I think they merely want something with a functioning long term memory. Something that can exhibit growth past the first 5 to 10 human-equivalent hours working on something.

Current LLMs are worse than most dementia cases, reaching "peak domain skill" pretty much immediately.

> Beyond all the benchmarks, I think Fable 5.1 is a big improvement in writing style.

I agree it's better, but dangling possessives are still an unwelcome affectation of fable's.

Sentences like "When a node becomes an object's." (real comment) are unnecessary mental load to untangle.

That depends? My first swimming lessons were in Kindergarten when I was 4-5. We were visiting public baths "unsupervised" (they still had lifeguards of course) by the time I was 8.

Assuming the kid wasn't even planning to enter the water, I see no inherent problem here. We seem to be operating on the assumption that unsupervised children will immediately succumb to sudden and irrational urges to kill themselves in creative ways.

The idea that our hunter-gatherer ancestors were running around 16 hours a day with no downtime is a fantasy to begin with. They had more leisure time than early farmers and many Americans[1]

There's something in the water that makes you just better.

My amazon front page is all about electric shavers, lamps, and various usb cables right now. I just bought all of that, why would I want more?

There must be a bulk discount on those mindcuffs, considering there's a prompt injection or a related confused deputy story on HN every other day.

Even if you believe that they can't be tricked directly, consider that these things will happily build a small node.js app in the background just to fulfill some request, run npm install... and that might've already compromised you if you're only somewhat unlucky.
