Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but if you scroll to the bottom of their [1] link to the Opus 5 announcement, under “Getting started,” it explicitly says:

> Consistent with prior Opus models, Opus 5 does not have data retention requirements for general access.

Then there’s a misunderstanding here. I have an iPhone. When I open my Messages app and view a conversation with someone with an iPhone, my outbound messages are blue and their messages to me are gray. When I open a conversation with a non-iPhone user, my outbound messages are green and their messages to me are still gray. Are you sure you’ve never received a incoming gray message? Because that doesn’t seem possible, unless you’re talking about something other than what I and the person you responded to are talking about.

As far as I can tell, the OP’s insistence that their service won’t send gray messages seems entirely disconnected from reality.

Yeah, I was switching between my phone and desktop to watch the stream and I had a seamless experience on both devices the entire time. I’m not sure why so many people are assuming this was a universal experience.

Did you miss this early in the article? Or did you just not find it convincing?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t you simply referring to “applied mathematics” and “pure mathematics”, respectively? I skimmed through the replies to your comment and I don’t believe anyone mentioned these terms, although I did see one reference to “abstract mathematics” (a term used by you, as well).

I thought these were well-known terms and thus that the dichotomy you describe was itself well-known, but I thought I’d add this comment on the chance that you weren’t familiar with them.

When I read “I feel like I'm fundamentally missing something about iterative development in Common Lisp” in the GP, I thought of exactly what’s in these replies. I’ve only recently started learning CL via Practical Common Lisp, and while I liked Emacs+SLIME, I’m a vim guy (I know) and switched to vim+VLIME instead, and so far I’m loving it. This to me has actually been the “secret sauce” of Lisp in my early experience, because now when I go to write code or use the REPL for languages like Python and Ruby, I find myself missing the SLIME/VLIME experience. I find it to be a very intuitive and efficient way to write code interactively.
