It's phrased "would you." I would definitely buy a notebook filled with my thoughts from 20 years ago today.

You're describing conditions that actually result from the opposite of unfettered capitalism. Housing supply is artificially constrained because of zoning laws, tax incentives, rent freezes, environmental reviews, and general opposition to anything new, allowing landlords to behave like this (which, as an aside, they seldom actually do). The solution is to eliminate restrictions on housing construction so supply can grow with demand.

This is wild to me, but to each their own. Mythos-class stuff is insanely better at nearly everything than Opus 4.5 was in my experience.

AI, if not AGI, has certainly become uniquely dangerous in the past 6 months though. We have a lot of evidence to that effect.

The best case scenario is a situation like Y2K: a ton of people coordinate and work hard to produce no perceptible change, because unlike catastrophe, averting catastrophe feels boring.

> For an industry that’s stagnant in progress

Surely you're not talking about the AI industry. Astra was released less than 3 weeks ago, and Fable-level models became public only 6 months ago. The rate of change is dizzying.

I think this is more a meme than anything else, for a couple reasons:

First, after a while it's just as grating as Claudeish. Second, my hunch is that it constricts the actual thinking of the LLM, like the same way that Newspeak does in 1984. It shrinks the range of thought that can be expressed if used as an input.

I think the real way to do it is to have another Claude entirely deal with the user as a liaison, but to keep the thinking in whatever format it came in.

Latent space reasoning, if you think about it, is exactly this to a crazy degree: why even formulate a thought as words if you can just keep it as matmuls until the user needs it? And then, if the user needs it, have it always specifically formulated for the user by another LLM rather than constrict its range of thought? Anyway, that's my take.

Definitely guilty as charged.

I've owned all of them and the answer is the X4 Pro IMO. It has a backlight, which is the only thing I really missed on the others.

> At the end, she told me she would review my exam and have the results ready in a few days.

Yeah man I can go ahead and let you know early if you want.

Is the file on archive.org anywhere? Should be pretty straightforward to do if so

I think you can get 60 fps out of the old Paper S3. There was a gameboy emulator I saw recently that did it with some trickery I haven't reproduced on mine, but super impressive piece of hardware.

By definition, you won't be able to tell the ones that are fooling you apart.

The second sentence of the page: "This also marks the first time we will open-source the weights of a Qwen-Max-class model — the open weights will be released next week."

You should be less upset over semantics that everyone else has usefully settled on. LLMs understand things fine.

This isn't really a good way to judge things. In the future, the fondest memories someone else has about technology will be about the present. The past is not better, you're just nostalgic for it.
