sznio··on GPT-6.1 Sol replaces GPT-6 Sol after just 7 days, with near-Astra intelligence
Pipelining.

They probably have 6.2 just about ready, while 7 and 8 are still being cooked up. You can work on multiple releases in parallel.

We're just getting the latest training checkpoints constantly, just to edge out the other lab, while they are trying to come up with something worthy of a new major version number. It's actually worrying, since there's so much pressure to release now.

sznio··on Ask HN: Is Opus 5.5 another step change?
It's the first model that I feel I can just use freely without crashing into the 5 hour limits. I just manage to get my work done and still have tokens left over
sznio··on 'That's so AI ' What gen Alpha's biggest insult tells us
Thankfully anyone who dealt with a teacher knows how much value their opinion holds.
sznio··on AI safety is mostly a sex cult in Berkeley
Nerds like to fuck.

It's nothing surprising to anyone who's been to a furry convention. Every time someone tries to label "non-mainstream sexual behaviors" as something objectively wrong, alarm bells in my brain go off.

We've been too bullied in high school to get laid then, gotta catch up now.

sznio··on Opus 5.5 is good at explainer videos
All of these already have a similar vibe and will become commonly recognised in a few weeks time, making them not good.
sznio··on Claude Opus 5.5
Nothing, because current Haiku is useless. But I use Qwen3.6 35B-A3B and it's both much faster and much more capable than Haiku. And Qwen3.8 27B can do so much more, decently replaces Sonnet, albeit not as fast. Luna doesn't feel more capable nor faster than Qwen3.8. I think Anthropic could surprise us with some more innovation in this niche.
sznio··on AI has no intent and no motivation
>This is bound to eventually lead to a disaster when someone deluded into trusting the "AI" does some stupidity it suggests without passing it through any reality check.

Or, the AI is plugged into a machine because efficiency (aka the shareholders need even more profits), and it does some stupidity. And they will be deployed carelessly, because that makes money. And people will suffer.

sznio··on Claude Opus 5.5
I'm more excited by the Haiku 5.5 announcement buried in this post. I'm wondering if we will finally get a decently capable fast model.
sznio··on Fable 5 – Median thinking declined in August
I don't work at Anthropic, but I would assume they could serve smaller quantizations during peak hours - this effectively controls the "resolution" of the model. They could also control the resolution of the KV cache, which would make the model not necessarily dumber, but worse at understanding the incoming requests. And finally, you could pass off what was "high" effort as "extra", because why not.

sznio··on We are unconsciously becoming someone else
>We are no longer relying on people for advice or questions, cause ChatGPT is just one tab away.

I set the line at "people" questions. I'll ask an LLM about math, programming, or how to better take care of my flowers. But turning to an AI for the human questions, relationship advice, I don't even understand why one would do that. The machine hasn't experienced that. There is no objective truth to these questions. Asking other people these questions lets you connect and bond.

I noticed a long time ago that each personality trends towards an average of the community they interact with - which makes me even more hesitant to use LLMs outside of work. I don't want to start talking like a clanker myself. I go out of my way to interact with weird people.

Thinking back to pre-LLM days, I would have the same line with classical search engines. I would never Google for relationship advice, since it doesn't know me well enough to actually say something worthwhile.

>I guarantee you the first email the CEO sends to the company is a "pause every LLM project we have - we gotta think about this".

which the government doesnt want since this will stop progress, while other countries will continue to develop LLMs

actual cops or script kiddies that found a way to impersonate them?

have you considered the consequences of that or are you still drunk and thinking that this is a good thing?

sznio··on We Must Return to the Office to Use AI in Person
I quit my job recently.

I was forced to go to an office, to sit in a room alone to work remotely with a team on the other side of the country.

Our manager was pushing for Claude Code, so we needed to use it a lot, our metrics were tracked.

Our sector lead forced Augment AI (absolute garbage btw, it has negative value, if a company uses it just run away) because he got enamoured by the salesperson - we also needed to use it a lot.

Someone in the C-suite decided to bet on Gemini, so we also had to use it a lot.

Then I failed my performance evaluation. I couldn't get any work done since I was too busy making my token use high across multiple tools.

I quit, found a company that rejects AI tools beyond Github Copilot, and I've never been happier. And I got a 2x raise with that move.

To name and shame, the company is Comarch. Stay away unless you're incompetent. If you're incompetent, you'll be right at home.

sznio··on GPT-6 Astra creating GTA San Andreas mods, editing the map and 3D models
I struggled to give this a less clickbaity name. Original: "AGI has been achieved in GTA San Andreas"

From author's comment:

- Each demo was 3 prompts max

- Prompts were intentionally short and simple

- Model used : Astra 6 with medium reasoning

- It uses Blender CLI + my custom tools : gta-3d-ai to build, Ariane to explore the map, and Blender CLI + gta-sa-traffic to create traffic nodes. I released all the tool here

sznio··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
it proved navier-stokes taking over the us government is easier imo, any idiot gets to be president
sznio··on It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta
> there is, however, kind of a lot of history showing nothing will happen to him or meta.

Well, the silver lining is that the world is probably going to be fine in the end. If the governments don't actually get a grip and regain control, we'll see a revolution. I don't think Flock and Palantir is capable of stopping a large enough mass of people from overthrowing their owners.

I just hope that things end up fine in my lifetime, and that it doesn't get too violent. The most likely scenario is capitalism repeating the "fascism" endgame again, hopefully failing with less death than 80 years ago.

sznio··on Initial effects of AI technology on employment look positive
> humanoid robots are decades away

I think the world has gone too crazy to make any such claim. They could be decades away, they could be a year away.

Remember that it doesn't have to be necessarily better than a human, it just needs to make economical sense. A robot that fails 20% of the time but costs 0.10$/h to run beats a person for many tasks.

sznio··on Speculative Decoding in vLLM on AMD GPUs
wondering when AMD will realize it can charge 2x as much for the same thing, by simply finally writing a fucking driver
sznio··on It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta
I think everyone is infected by doomerism.

Why care about the long term consequences if the world is going to be over in the next 20 years.

sznio··on I'm a seeing-eye dog for a computer
I have moved back to my small hometown, from a large city.

My mental health improved significantly. I actually feel valuable at work. I feel pride in contributing to my local community. And the paycheck isn't actually worse.

sznio··on I'm a seeing-eye dog for a computer
>it wasn't that the opponents were stupid because they disagreed, it was that they were simultaneously intelligent and stupid in the way they spoke in a way that I realised I'd never seen in genuine people, making me realise it was probably different people or bots under one account.

I believed they were all bots until I actually interacted with such a person in real life. It's terrifying.

sznio··on Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?
I don't use them.

Everything is organised into repos, i select the directories with the context the agent needs for the task. If I want it to adjust something in my homelab, I drop it into the homelab repo. Stuff agents need to do commonly has shell scripts to speed it up.

I do however have some system prompts. I pick the prompt based on the goal, whether I want to implement something, or just web search, or just need a short one-off command to be done.

sznio··on Windows 11's "special" developer edition looks like another marketing misfire
If I can install Linux on these unified-memory PCs, then it sounds quite cool.

I wouldn't wish any developer to be forced to use W11 though. I'm already miserable enough at work, I just use a VM with Fedora and W11 is just a bootloader.
