Why not? Capitalism requires they maximize their value. These profitable companies lay bare at the altar, so they should understand the requirements of their god.

A “tactical wedding” is an absolute goldmine.

Did you initially ask the tool to read the docs?

I wouldn’t be surprised if you did and still had the same issue, but if you relied on the training data recall alone, you definitely shortchanged yourself.

I’ve had decent results with tasking a model to run pre-research and summarization as a checklist, then have a second instance of the model(s) review and then develop my learning plan learn, versus the times I just asked Claude or ChatGPT to explain something to me “from memory.”

Oh, I agree that’s the case, and I’ve noticed it over the years, but never thought deeply on it other than “that’s an annoying preset”

That’s illuminating. I was born and have lived in the U.S. my entire life. If you asked me what the first day of the week was, I would immediately respond with “Monday”.

I’m going to mull this one over a bit more to figure out where my social education went wrong!

Wasn’t that the entire premise of the product when it launched? Disappearing messages and minimal footprint so you could be confident your communications were semi-private?

That was the expectation of using the product so it fits and isn’t anything like this discussion.

In that case I'll consider myself whooshed.

I don't think that disagrees with what I said. I was translating the Greek, not the Hebrew. But you're right the Hebrew פְּלִשְׁתִּים֒ is unambiguously "Philistines."

The Greek quoted above is from the Septuagint, and those translators rendered that word as ἀλλόφυλοι, roughly "those of another tribe." So "foreigners" is the closest I have in English to the Greek word, and "Philistines" is who it refers to.

I'm no scholar here, just a dabbler, so I'm happy the discussion is happening at all.

I can't speak for the OP, but in my research, the translation works out to be:

"Let me die with the foreigners"

I usually see "foreigners" replaced with "Philistines" (as noted above). It's Samson's line just before he braces against the pillars and brings the building down on himself and the thousands of Philistines inside, so I understand why it is usually translated that way.

Also, ψυχή here renders Hebrew nephesh, which is closer to "life" or "self", but when I think about the attributed statement it just reads better with the personal attachment (vs. "Let my self|life|soul die with..."). Which is the fun of translation, as each translator seeks to reveal a meaningful rendition which will resonate with their audience.

I notice the models with reasoning can conflate “internal” (or subagent) discussions with external (i.e. me). So it is accurately indicating “I’ve had this discussion before” but incorrectly asserting who it was with.

My understanding of how “thinking”works is limited though, and given the reduced visibility into the thinking traces, it is harder to tell if this is actually happening or if these are imaginary discussions the model for some reason calcifies on.

Models before the announced date don’t have watermarking, so it’s unlikely. Now, if what you are interpreting is precursor work to develop the watermarking system, maybe?

I suspect it less insidious: Claude has/had the public sentiment of being the “better writer” of the models. At some point that distinction would have been diluted as other labs’ offerings “caught up” stylistically, unless Anthropic continued to tune their output…

I personally think they’ve pushed so far that they’ve overfit and lost the sweet spot they previously occupied.

> There are people who will tell you that a cell is just the way that ribosomes make more ribosomes, and I’m not in a position to say that they’re wrong. It’s for sure that these protein-synthesizing factories are extremely ancient, extremely well-optimized, and they’re constantly at work in every living cell reading off sequences from messenger RNA molecules and extruding the corresponding protein sequences.

I recognize that our bodies are biomechanics in action. I’ve read this multiple times over the years. But there’s something fresh (to me) in the way Dr. Lowe describes them as (paraphrasing): “ancient technology, in use, today”.

It’s both a comfort and a curse as I think about it from this perspective.
