I resonate with that feeling, but on the other hand the humans reading the output will receive a pretty big boost in inspiration; new answers usually prompt new questions.
I don't mind the subtle ML integrations that they have put in the photos app: plant ID, recognizing faces, removing background, OCR text search (even for handwriting!), etc.
I partially agree, but in this case it kinda illustrates that it may not be worth using Terra on any reasoning level below high; those are some awful penguins on bikes.
Hopefully there is some sort of version history implemented or planned like they have in Cowork[0]... this sounds great until a co-worker hijacks your Claude session with a worse idea and derails it from what you were intending.

I made a rough version of this in 2024[0], interesting to see that the idea is still around. I had the ability to set "quality thresholds", but it didn't seem to matter, the frontier models pretty much always agreed with each other and scored the answer highly, I should revisit it since it is a whole different ballgame than it was 2 years ago.
One of the best lessons I've learned was that the happiest I've been (so far) was a time when I was dirt poor, while chasing my dream that everyone assured me ends in poverty.
Things have changed, but it takes some of the financial anxiety away when I remember that I would still give up everything to go back to that time.
Deepseek made their 75% discount permanent, so I can imagine that Anthropic didn't want any of the news stories around this to focus on or mention a price increase.
When I see the domain of a post is neal.fun, I instantly get a huge grin because I know I am about to be delighted. Thank you Neal! The beach yurt with the mushroom soup was a hilarious touch.
When I asked some frontier models, many said that Teresa T is "widely referenced", which is evidence of your popularity and the ripple effects of your posts, so it would be interesting to see the same result from an unknown blog.
i've been using the API for a portion of my work to prepare for this and test to see how much it will cost in the long term, turns out that was the short term.
it is rough, but it has taught me to treat every prompt and process with care since i watch the pennies and dollars burn instead of tokens, which is a good habit to get into anyway
The wolf photo for the article was the most eerie example for me... if I am reading about the natural world, I want to see a real photo of the natural world.
What is the moat of the major ticketing companies? Is it deals with venues? It is hard to rationalize how one company can even get a stranglehold on an entire market like this.
I feel like I could ping any random HN user and build something better in a week, which means it has been done many times already... why don't alternatives gain traction?
