sejje··on Desert Ant Labs: local, fast models that run on device
He's not arguing about their right to license it how they please. He's arguing that someone ought to choose to do it another way.

You made up a position to argue against.

I'm not subject to the whims of anything except what I just asked for.

I can also cancel it just as easily, if it's exhausting. Which--I'm finding it hard to understand why it would be.

I don't schedule my life like that at all, I kinda wander around all day. But the idea of a reminder that I specifically asked for? It's the only kind of reminder I want, actually. It'll keep me from the actually-exhausting habit of checking my watch or wondering how long it's been.

sejje··on Why getting your hands dirty is good for you
Do the people walking their dogs do it barefoot?

Wouldn't shoes ruin the effect?

> Just the thought of looking at a watch in a sauna, and timing things minute by minute sounded exhausting.

"Hey <smartwatch>, set a timer for 12 minutes" doesn't sound very exhausting.

sejje··on Is OpenAI silently routing GPT‑6 requests to GPT‑4o?
If it's clear, why are you asking?
sejje··on Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?
By watching them get it the first time, instead of watching them hit 10 locations before finding it.
sejje··on Apparently CodePen 2.0 sends data to their servers as you type
It's obviously very fun; look at all the exclamation points.

sejje··on America's two largest school districts impose AI moratoriums
Florida is getting better test scores with smaller budgets. It's not a money problem.
sejje··on America's two largest school districts impose AI moratoriums
Just saw this on Polymarket: JUST IN: El Salvador’s AI tutoring pilot in 171 public schools produced reading, math, & science results above the national average & comparable to Germany & Sweden.

It's their parents having significant effect, friend. Kids don't care about drinking laws.

The good news is, this won't do anything to stop the kids.
sejje··on GPT-6 Astra on OpenRouter
Faster; cheaper.

It's immaculate, wow

Well, after the first couple times, I created a SKILL.md file for myself.

I do think the timeline of web search getting fixed (yes, google is ASS) took a lot longer than I hoped, but seems like it's finally here.

That being said, it's not a fair comparison to talk about 2011 google vs the AI market right now. There's so many labs I can't track them all, neck and neck in the lead. There was one true web search.

And this is a more tangible quality difference, too. It's hard to know what a google search didn't return, especially as a layperson. It's not hard to see the model underperforming.

I have a tire I need to plug, they're just forcing my hand. Sorry guys, I'll go get it done.
sejje··on Ask HN: Anyone homeschooling their kids?
Counterpoint: I was also a camp counselor in my teens and 20s, and I even taught homeschool.

They were definitely easy to pick out, but I think in a good way. They were undersocialized with children, but felt way more at ease around adults. They understood more mature humor, spoke larger ideas in better sentences, and behaved perfectly.

And sure, they were a little "weird." As everyone ought to strive to be.

sejje··on Ask HN: Anyone homeschooling their kids?
Alternatively, homeschool meet-up groups, or cousins.

I used to teach a homeschool PE class that was really just socialization with a theme.

sejje··on Ask HN: Where do you get your AI (technology) news?
I think you could keep up with more than you bargained for with:

1) Hacker News, obv

2) https://lobste.rs/

3) x.com -> "AI" Topic

4) https://github.com/trending

If it's a mistake, it should course-correct.

I agree that some of the smarter models are actually worse. I hope they take a model that's good enough--there are many--and just try to get it chatjimmy.ai speed.

I have to think that's the future, somehow, and I'm really excited about it.

sejje··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
Staying a little ways behind the leaders is not "slow and steady." Every company is moving very fast right now.

I don't think slow and steady will win this race, but I think anyone can still win--especially Google.

sejje··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
Perhaps the model is able to evaluate that it's not done, and to keep pressing on in the face of mounting failures, until it eventually arrives at a solution. Where Fable can skip that.
sejje··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
I'm terrified to seed the RNG with words like "betray". I'll keep those way, way down the list of likely words.
sejje··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
Now it outputs the non-best version every time.
sejje··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
Agreed, but not if one of them was altered to contain a secret message. That one will have a distinguishable difference in quality. Maybe (almost certainly) negligible, but still there.
sejje··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
That's not the metric, though.

You either output the best version, or you output something else.

You can't do both.

Well, I'll assume you know what you're talking about.

What level of trust do you grant to this project?
