Yeah nobody wants to balance their answers with Nazi ideology (far right basically) in their tuning except Grok

I doubt that. What stops the Chinese labs from figuring it out? It’s not like these models are fundamentally different from each other

I was referring to Google Gemini AI (their branding is horrible) - Google can see ALL of your interactions with their services - that's not what Apple gets to see

I use spec-driven development heavily (generate architecture docs + specs first). Opus still get lost often and have to be nudged constantly. Like it can get super detailed for something like some deep SQL optimization but it just can't keep hold of the bigger picture.

Agree. Deepseek has also been pretty good for my personal use.

I'm struggling to see the moat for these models. What's stopping a competitor or a Chinese lab fromr releasing a comparable one?

Of course it's all about building the hype for the IPO :)

I've been running Opus 4.8 for agentic coding and I don't see it being significantly better than Sonnet 4.5 (not that I can tell). I find that pairing Google Gemini and Claude (having Gemini review Claude's code) seems to yield better results. Curious if this jump to 80.3% score in agentic coding will make me see a big difference in actual usage.

Appples architecture prevents them from seeing customers data (see Private Cloud Compute documentation). Data that Gemini Assistant (not referring to the distilled version Apple uses) see goes straight to Google. Big difference here.

Weird to say it but the only assistant with any guarantee for privacy by design is Siri at the moment.

> it's you taking your task to OAI/Anthropic like a consultant/external entity

Good luck with that. This reminds me of the inspiration of declarative programming languages such as Prolog - you're supposed to declare the problems in such a way that the machine can solve it - rather than the imperative way where you tell the machine what to do. What they didn't realize that the definition is harder than the solution itself.

During my 5 years of my startup, we had only 1 outage due to AWS because we picked us-west-2 as the primary reason. If anyone starting a company and picks us-east-1 as the primary reason, they should be fired. There's absolutely no reason to be in that region.

You can create a new instance directly on AWS aurora. Takes less than 20 minutes!

  aws rds restore-db-cluster-to-point-in-time \
      --source-db-cluster-identifier <source-cluster> \
      --db-cluster-identifier <new-cluster> \                                         
      --restore-type copy-on-write \                                                   
      --use-latest-restorable-time \                                                   
      --db-subnet-group-name <sub group> \                     
      --vpc-security-group-ids <security group> \            
      --serverless-v2-scaling-configuration MinCapacity=0,MaxCapacity=16

My Amex cards show up like the physical ones with the actual physical design elements like colors etc… so maybe it’s bank dependent?

It appears that they put an actual file system in front of S3 (AWS EFS basically) and then perform transparent syncing. The blog post discusses a lot of caveats (consistency, for example) or object namings (incosistencies are emitted as events to customers).

Having been a fan of S3 for such a long time, I'm really a fan of the design. It's a good compromise and kudos to whoever managed to push through the design.

Now I need a fund that will honor a year of price discovery rather than 15 days. Any recommendations?

My childcare cost is $52k/year for two kids. To hire a private nanny for TWO kids, it'll be at least $35/hour with benefits (insurance, paid time off etc) in my area. That'll be around $80k/year for a private nanny. And once the kids are older, the value of a nanny isn't as good IMO since they don't provide the variety of social challenges that a daycare can provide (group working, relationship building, conflict resolution etc...). We have friends with kids of the same age that don't go to day care and have nannies instead, and the differences in social interaction are significant - maybe we just get lucky but I think our kids build a lot of skills being in a bigger group.

> Take politics out of it. My comments are not at all based on politics or ideology. It's purely a matter of process issues. It's like saying that short passwords are insecure.

When there're people with unlimited resources who are actively looking for evidence to back up the claim, it makes sense to bring that up because they haven't found anything.

Yeah telegram is so easy to develop with - I was blown away. I was able to spin up a bot that checks for GE appointments with minimal effort.

Because you can’t make me sign my ballot? Because without my signature the ballot is void. I can also show up in person to cure my vote if you force me to sign it at home btw.

It’s not impossible - I won’t deny it. But we haven’t had any substantial evidence despite the current administration trying to claim otherwise.

If we are to roll back mail in ballot, let’s also make voter ID free and easy, and also make Election Day the weekend or a public holiday, rather than the various frictions including long lines at the poll.
