A RewriteInRustBench would be unironically useful at this point since all the main agents can write it reasonably well despite its relative scarcity in the input data.

That makes sense. There's not really much else you can say about it.

if an openai employee is reading this plz hire me i am unemployed and i need a job

(Usage limits are entirely dependent on what you're doing with them. If you're not running it on 1 million LoC codebases you can get a lot of mileage out of even a 5x account particularly with the recent cheap models)

The pricing is on the linked page but does not appear to be selectable in ChatGPT UI yet.

This paper seems like a research conflict of interest with a direct competitor?

> Given this evidence, we think it’s likely both state and non-state actors will use models like GLM-5.3 to cause real-world harm.

> New subscriptions that aren’t eligible for grandfathering include a lower usage allowance than previously offered with Pro 200 to reflect our increasingly efficient models.

actual lol

That model was implied to be GPT 6.1 Astra, not Sol.

Muse makes sense since it targets the general normies. Dots explicitly are targeting developers instead which makes it a bit weird.

> Cached input costs just $0.10 per million tokens—95% less than standard input pricing and 50% less than GPT‑6 Sol’s cached input pricing

This is the actual big announcement. 50% cheaper cache than GPT-6 Sol will get you far more mileage on Codex.

dots dots, more dots. k stop dots.

Claw is a cute name. Muse is cute name. Dots (note: not always upper-case) seems forced and impersonal, which doesn't match the vibe in the promo video.

The hidden history is particularly annoying when evaluating if someone is a troll operating in bad faith or not; in my experience, when someone makes a comment that is completely out of pocket, their profile is almost always hidden. That is selection bias, however.

IMO it is a net negative.

As of today, ChatGPT is the #4 Top Free app on the US iOS App Store: this chart only measures new/recent downloads.

The #1 and #2 apps are non-coding, pure consumer AI applications (Meta Muse and Momo).

That is not relevant to your assertion of "AI has no real use besides NLP."

There's, uh, a reason ChatGPT is one of the biggest consumer apps of all time.

The thinking traces on some Chinese models just output the full response in the thinking trace, then output it again to the user, which is redundant.

You're allowed to be excited about new technology.

That is not how the real world works outside of anti-AI communities. Typos/grammar are seen as unprofessional and are more likely to cause negative sentiment/backlash than overused design.

I admit that those type of politics depend on workplace culture and I worked at two highly creative-oriented companies previously, and in both companies any attempt to point out issues in the design resulted in a "this is according to design spec; not fixing."

All modern multimodal models can do vision sufficiently well for web design, with the exception of respecting negative space and seeing poor padding/margins on text. The issue is that prompts are often egregiously underspecified so the design -> vision loop doesn't know how to refine.

People don't realize that you're allowed to tell LLMs/agents "no." In the real world, it's a professional faux pas to question the design of a creative coworker when you may not know design better, but LLMs/agents are not your coworkers.

Don't like abuse of serif fonts? "NEVER use serif fonts."

Don't like the gaudy color palettes? "Use this color palette with a white-dominant background"

Don't like the marketing fluff? "Remove all non-salient text from this app."

You're encouraged to be picky.

They can be solved now with a follow-up prompt to remove the bad things, or preemptive rules to not do the bad things in the first place. That's different from "AI can't do hands" which was an intrinsic issue with the model and its robustness (there were tricks to mitigate it such as negative prompting, but far less comparatively successful than the web design analogy).

A half-joke answer is "not like this UI", which is surprisingly easy to prompt if you're already using agents for design.

Article is about the impact of social media pile-ons (and has been getting praise within tech) so it is within scope for HN.

One important difference between animations/videos generated by Opus 5.5 and the stereotypical AI slop videos is that Opus 5.5 is not a video generation model: it generates and iterates the code and renders it, and there are various ways for it to do so.

The code for the infamous "I'm upping my p(doom)" video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j-hR4fJywU) is open-source and uses Processing: https://github.com/JohnHeibel/PDoomVideo

Stereotypical modifies "vibecoded slop", not web design in general. As someone who has worked with blog coding for over a decade and attempted to actually do unique design choices, it is a generally bad idea to do so unless you have both a) a good design sense and b) analytics to test such that your unique designs don't actually make things worse. Blogs have converged to a one-column layout for a reason.

At this point I'm wary of seeing something from the "bearblog" domain on an HN submission because it always end up being the same thing despite hosting different authors.

By construction, a personal blog is very likely to break unexpectedly compared to other types of vibecoded projects because a) the scope is very narrow and b) there is only one user.

I recently redesigned my own blog (https://minimaxir.com) during some experiments into how well modern LLMs can be conditioned into not outputting the stereotypical telltale designs of web vibecoded slop; it worked well enough (although more difficult than expected) and "how to design a website using agents that doesn't look like an agent made it" might be a fun topic for a blog post as there were a few gotchas.

The main reason I did the redesign is because my blog is running Hugo + PaperMod theme, which is becoming too popular and it makes blogs no longer stand out. There were also a few features/shortcodes I wanted added (better video support, better sidenote support, etc) that give me more tools for blogging.
