It is just horrible writing style. It doesn't particularly matter that AI wrote it.

Yeah, I can't figure out where this "voice" comes from and it is so impossible to get rid of. It is so grating.

And why not Sonnet?

What food does Europe have that the US does not?

The Mississippi river. Few understand what an advantage that river is.

I use Android Auto a lot when traveling in rental cars. The alternative is annoying. With Android Auto, I at least know how to navigate and play audio with minimal effort. Otherwise I just use my phone and in a rental I typically don't have a mount so it's annoying because my phone discovers new and unexpected places to hide. First world problems, I know.

Is Siri this horrible? I do most of picking music with Gemini. How are you not distracted from driving while scrolling through things?

That's among the reasons why I said I will wait for a kit.

When they get to the point of shipping a kit, why would I care? It's open source, just fix things. It's not rocket science, I'm just no good at working out the baseline machine that has parts to do the things. So I can't help at this point.

I don't expect a finished product. The value to me is the customizability and figuring out how to make it do what I want it to do. I'm sure that's not for everyone but like I have fingers. I can type. I can fix things. Slop is perfectly fine as a first draft because I'm envisioning a community of builders not a bunch of entitled twats who should just buy a Roomba.

Agreed. I can code so I don't care whether it's vibecoded or whatever to bootstrap. Them working on designing hardware is what matters to me. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the kit, I don't have a lot of patience for hunting parts but would love to play with this.

No, and the original had everything more expensive. There's a comparison here:

The explanation Anthropic gave for the update doesn't address how the x-axis needed to range up to $50 previously and only $10 now. In any case the pass rates are also lower.

Probably the difference between whatever it is people notice when they say models become "nerfed".

If you are out of Opus credits, you are out of all model credits.

I haven't seen it marketed as "AI" by GE, Siemens or Philips. They usually gesture at "deep learning" or "compressed sensing".

No radiologist is buying "AI" scanners. Radiologists are probably among the most jaded of an audience about the word "AI" due to decades of undelivered promises. AI is synonymous with "worthless trash" to them, not to mention everyone says "AI" is going to put them out of work. lol

YouTube has saved me at least that much in appliance repairs... and it doesn't even have an AI. It's amazing how valuable access to information can be.

Do you use Opus 4.8 much? Fable 5 mostly seemed like Opus when I was using it, it was a little better but I wasn't blown away. What you describe as differences between Fable 5 and GPT-5.5 is how I would describe the differences between Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5.

I don't want cars controlled by China's datacenters driving on our roads. Polestar can figure it out if Polestar cares to sell cars here. Not my problem anymore than banning Huawei is my "problem". If the US has trouble selling cars overseas because they're all controlled by Palantir or because the US admin can arbitrarily remotely shut them down for leverage or whatever so be it. It's a design problem.

"Practicing" something means applying it. It's similar to how practicing law and creating law are related but not the same thing.

MD doctors (and even to a large extent DO doctors nowadays) are philosophically grounded on science. An MD fundamentally practices science. That used to be one of the key differences between MD and DO physicians, but science has been so successful at advancing the standard of care that DOs cannot ignore it anymore. That's just to say that MDs are expected to be fluent in science and it's not some arbitrary expectation of bureaucracy run amok.

The behavior depicted is literally sexual competition.
