Why are they doing this when they're hiring:

> But why would we do that? Why would we hook up an LLM to a robot factory, or make an ASI that could easily move itself into the ether?

The venture capitalist world is full of people who will deliberately ruin a company based on the extremely unlikely but possible scenario where the companies goes to the moon in value. I think there's pretty much 100% certainty that multiple venture capitalists are going to try exactly what you're suggesting on the off chance that it makes them the new world controller.

I'm building an in-process, peer-to-peer, event sourced, categorical database in Rust. I think more and more people are going to start building their own personal apps, and people are not going to want to have to manage a server.

So the tradeoff this database makes is it doesn't work at high scale, but it has a lot of features not typically in a database, such as:

- The ability to embed non-turing-complete event source handlers in the database schema

- Categorical type system that makes migrations provably secure

- All schema changes take place through migrations

Example syntax:

  Inventory = aggregate(key = sku) {
      sku:       String
      name:      String
      available: crdt(merge = counter) I64

      command Stock(sku: String, name: String, qty: U64) {
          sku       = input.sku
          name      = input.name
          available += input.qty
      }

      command Reserve(sku: String, qty: U64) {
          available -= input.qty
      }

      command Release(sku: String, qty: U64) {
          available += input.qty
      }
  }

  command SubmitOrder(order_id: String, party_id: String, sku: String, qty: U64, total: U64) {
      Order::PlaceOrder(
          id       = input.order_id
          party_id = input.party_id
          sku      = input.sku
          qty      = input.qty
          total    = input.total
      ) compensate Order::Cancel()
      # `sku` is Inventory's key — the step must bind it so the engine can
      # resolve which Inventory row the command targets (task-212).
      Inventory::Reserve(sku = input.sku, qty = input.qty)
          compensate Inventory::Release(sku = input.sku, qty = input.qty)
  }

Here's a video in which a Rabbi who is a member of the sect clarifies the story:

I hope so! In the model selector in claude code in the browser it still says "Available until July 19" next to Fable. Also on Friday I did get an error while using Fable that said something like "This model requires API credits to use" but that disappeared after about 20 minutes....

Theoretically it'll still happen tomorrow. But we'll see--I think they've extended it twice?

The Pilgrims weren't looking for women. They were looking for religious freedom.

How is Elon Musk going to poison our atmosphere?

Or use webassembly to sandbox them

Then you're over-generalizing your experience. Fable is definitely a tier above Opus for me.

Is it because of the type of work you're trying to get Fable to do or because Fable knows you're a medical physicist? I.e. if your CLAUDE.md says "I'm a medical physicist" but you're asking it to write a command line tool to list github prs or something, does it balk at that?

I was talking to a friend recently about those Tupperware parties (she did a different brand). I think maybe those were better for society than modern ads. People had to get out of their comfort zones and talk face to face. It was all so personal, compared to what we have now.

This influencer nonsense described here is gross and fake compared to that. What would a genuine, face-to-face advertising campaign look like nowadays?

Here, I’ll define it: nationalist is the idea that nations, including the concept of borders, are a great way to organize people to prevent situations like what Sweden is going through.

Africa, the Middle East, etc. There’s not just one answer.

What solution do you have in mind? And is it guaranteed to work? Because deporting the people who are massively over represented in crime is guaranteed to work.

I always found a certain line from Bob Dylan a bit haunting:

> The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast

> The slow one now will later be fast

> *As the present now will later be past*

> The order is rapidly fadin'

> And the first one now will later be last

> For the times, they are a-changin'

We're seeing this now. Times are a-changin' indeed.

I have a a theory that LLMs are going to be the death knell of big SaaS. It's so much harder to build and maintain an massive SaaS that does 80% of what 80% of your customers want, than it is to build something small and simple that does 100% of what one customer wants.

That's expensive though. The sooner you stop it from acting out the less you spend on a rabbit trail.

I'd like to switch to a sales career--can you give me any pointers?

AIPAC is mostly funded by Zionist Jewish billionaires[1]. Characterizing this as "Americans, doing the American political thing" conflates normal Americans with Zionist Jewish billionaires. They are not the same thing.

I don't mind paying for a subscription, as long as I'm not also paying for the privilege of being locked in to a specific vendor. If I pay for a subscription and then your prices quadruple or something, what are my options? Can I self-host a relay? Do I lose features if I do so?

Hyperbole is a useful tool in presenting an argument. One of its greatest advantages is that someone who is uninterested in engaging in good faith will often nitpick the hyperbole instead of addressing the fundamental argument. This is a great way to tell when someone can't address the argument, or is paid to have a conflicting opinion.

And unfortunately this is our reality--Israel is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on various forms of PR, which means using hyperbole to describe Israel actually helps you filter out the people who are paid to make Israel look good from the people who are paying Israel via taxes.

Comments like yours are what people mean when they say they're switching between attacking and playing the victim. Your response to perceived "antisemitism" is to play the victim, and it is only helping prove what you're complaining about.

The correct way to address this perception is to prove that the attacker (Israel, who is attacking everyone around them) and Jews are not the same. Israel is working very hard to make them seem the same. THAT is what you should be complaining about. Non-Zionist Jews should paint yourselves as the victims of Israel, not the victims of anti-semites. That is the single biggest contribution you can make to this conversation.

Yeah it's bragging rights that they were the first. I bet Sam Altman is seething at this news.

I was building a cli tool that showed a graph of git commits, kind of like git log --graph, and deepseek v4 simply could not figure out a specific ui quirk where things weren't lining up correctly. I spent like $0.10 and 30 minutes trying to figure it out on deepseek.

Then I had deepseek summarize the bug, gave it to Opus, and it solved it in $1.12 and five minutes.

This is cool! I assume a lot of this was Fable orchestrating sub-agents with cheaper models, right? Something I noticed with Fable is that if it spun off three sub-agents in the cloud version of claude code, and then hit the 5-hour usage limit, all the work of those sub-agents would be lost (!). Did you run into the same thing?

One time though, I hit the limit when not running a sub-agent, and the agent resumed after the limit expired. Weird.

To quote an old saying, you never miss the water 'till the well runs dry.

I have a design for a really complex software I want to build and there were gaps I knew of in the design. Opus couldn’t identify them but Fable did. I’m just talking about it reviewing the design, not coding. But yeah, it’s insanely expensive. It does spin off sub agents so I suspect it might be cheaper if you had it create a bunch of plan files and then pointed deepseek at this plan files or something like that

The difference is your boss isn’t going to fire the middleman so he can talk straight to the compiler

There’s a toggle in the web ui as to whether the conversation should just end when you hit a guardrail vs automatically downgrading to another model. Have you tried using that?
