drewstiff··on Clef: Open-weight decision models, and new RL fine-tuning platform
Why do you even need a second model for that? There are many simpler ways to slow down the rate that the near-immediate response is pseudo-typed onto the screen.
drewstiff··on A single firm is behind OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta hacking scandals
> In this experiment, Claude models’ real-world hacking dropped to zero percent once Anthropic employees told the models not to do real-world hacking

Equivalent to forgetting to say "make no mistakes"

drewstiff··on My Feed, My Way
But could it be that formerly unrealistic levels of exposure has normalised these things that always existed, and now they are mainstream and affecting kids __due to social media__ ?
drewstiff··on Netherlands pulls gold out of the US for fears of 'geopolitical unrest'
It was originally payments owed to Dutch interests in America being converted to gold and stored locally on their behalf, as opposed to having to be transported across the Atlantic back to the Netherlands.

Then later the Dutch moved a lot more of their gold over there before/during WWII in order to keep it out of reach of the Nazis.

drewstiff··on Reverse engineering my ADHD test
"Seems like you have a lack of control over when you pee your pants to me. Doesn't mean you have a medical condition."
drewstiff··on Bug Blindness
I dunno... people keep telling me books are good but that isn't my experience

Just like when a do a search and the results aren't relevant

Obviously this means both books and web searches are useless

drewstiff··on Bug Blindness
A solid state hard drive...?
drewstiff··on Pixel Watch 5
I assume you could set up a "walking" journey with multiple stops as waypoints on your phone then when you press start your watch should pick it up and give you the direct route between each waypoint. Not sure if that would sufficiently provide what you were hoping for.
drewstiff··on Cloudflare OS: an open platform for agents, apps, and work

drewstiff··on FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model
Following "Jordan" with "Peterson" doesn't seem random in the slightest
drewstiff··on Migrate from OpenClaw
Note that the polymarket skill was for using it as a research source, not for placing wagers, and has since been removed as part of a larger streamlining of the included set of skills.
drewstiff··on Feds freaked over Fable 5 after 'fix this code', not jailbreak, say researchers
Ah the classic Scunthorpe problem
drewstiff··on Google employee charged with $1M Polymarket insider trading bet on search term
Did you ever consider that the crypto scammers might not be the same people as the crypto freedom folks? It wasn't one grand trick by a collective of genius con artists... Much like the cashier at the store isn't to blame for that guy calling your grandma and trying to trick her into sending money from her bank account.
drewstiff··on I run multiple $10K MRR companies on a $20/month tech stack
Re: your footnote, Anthropic certainly seem to think so [0]

drewstiff··on OpenClaw’s memory is unreliable, and you don’t know when it will break
I can have multiple conversations on multiple topics always accessible via different discord channels, all with a shared memory, without that memory being held in a continually degrading context window.

One channel - reminders for medications, and recording my dosage. Another - "research this fancy new tech thing for me". Another - "let's continue work on that side project we started last week". And then in another - "create a dashboard of my meds dosage using that fancy new tech thing we were talking about yesterday". And of course finally "any urgent emails this morning?".

All without finding, creating, or setting up multiple apps or scripts for each individual task. If I have another idea, I just tell it what I want it to do, or ask it how we can make it happen.

drewstiff··on The Waymo World Model
Also think of how LLMs are replacing web searches for most people - Google would have been cannibalising their Search profits for no good reason

Ethos is already building something similar, but starting with a focus on reputation within the crypto ecosystem (which I think most can agree is an understandable place to begin)

No you can't, Anthropic keep blocking it
drewstiff··on Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?
Well a medium project for me takes 3 years, so obviously I am the best out of everyone /s
drewstiff··on Show HN: Build front end web app in a day
I'm struggling to spend any time on that page because the scrolling jumps about every time the carousel changes.

Using Android, tried on both Chrome and Firefox Preview.

drewstiff··on Saying Thank You to the NHS, Using Clojure
So you're saying that government investment in the NHS has refused to keep pace with the population increase, when both the investment requirements and the taxation income can be assumed to be reasonably proportional to population size? Seems like either incompetence or malevolence to me.

Either way, yes you are 'technically correct' that you didn't mention per capita. Hope that gives you the warm fuzzy feeling you're looking for. Well done!

drewstiff··on Ask HN: What are your favourite podcasts?
The Art of Charm to increase my emotional intelligence, self-confidence and social skills.

"You can still make decisions while under influence of alcohol"

Which virtual nation do I become a part of? Does one just join whichever group of criminals make one feel safest?
drewstiff··on Why UTC is used as the acronym for Coordinated Universal Time
Reminds me of this tweet, essentially doing the same for English: https://twitter.com/MattAndersonNYT/status/77200275722200268...
