Regarding the Pareto frontier and related benchmarks, I have a hard time taking anything seriously that claims that Opus is anywhere near the intelligence of Fable. Are there any benchmarks that haven't just been benchmaxxed that more accurately represent actual usage?

Definitely feels like there’s a particular narrative being pushed on HN today.

Nobody is forcing people to be employees of startups. They choose to do it of their own free will. If they think they can generate immense value from their own ideas they are free to go try to do that. Hiring people to do a job for a wage they agree to isn’t swindling.

what a fantastic advertisement

It’s difficult to determine which individuals are involved and even if you manage to do that they almost certainly live in countries without extradition.

Both OpenAI and Anthropic have billing caps… who doesn’t?

The US drastically prefers the economic impact of AI over enforcing this…

You can get away with quite a lot if you’re creating trillions in GDP.

That’s just the world we live in whether we like it or not.

Let’s say you’re a democrat (or republican, w/e) who lives in a district that’s 50-50 dem/rep. Then maps get redrawn so your district is 80-20. Is your vote worth the same as it was before? Is it a good or bad thing that only ~10% of the population’s vote matters?

can’t help but see this thread next to the Erdos one and feel like someone’s trying to tell us something :)

nah. we never had a business plan and are still going strong 11 years later. 99.999% is a gross exaggeration of reality.

we’ll never actually have this data, but I bet there isn’t much correlation if any between having a business plan and being successful.

have you started a successful business?

vscode + claude code extension has everything you listed that actually matters

VCX (Fundrise) has way more exposure than ARKVX

Rejecting any packages newer than X days is one nice control, but ultimately it'd be way better to maintain an allowlist of which packages are allowed to run scripts.

Unfortunately npm is friggen awful at this...

You can use --ignore-scripts=true to disable all scripts, but inevitably, some packages will absolutely need to run scripts. There's no way to allowlist specific scripts to run, while blocking all others.

There are third-party npm packages that you can install, like @lavamoat/allow-scripts, but to use these you need to use an entirely different command like `npm setup` instead of the `npm install` everyone is familiar with.

This is just awful in so many ways, and it'd be so easy for npm to fix.

just tried with claude opus and got 7,342
