I've been checking the source of quotes for my forthcoming book, and the performance of Gemini is extraordinary. I paste the quote into Google, and Gemini will barge in with the wrong answer over and over again. It's not an occasional thing - it's reliably wrong. Very odd. Quoting @TimHarford Twice in past week I've pasted quote into Google to check the source, and Gemini has barged in with the wrong answer. CS Lewis quote from The Seeing Eye (1967) was placed in The Screwtape Letters (1942). Alfred Loftus quote (1857) attributed to Austen Layard (1849). Gemini 0/2. Google Related

there's a lot of product magic in agents like muse or instinct in making auth into websites work. however, there still seems to be some ways to go given the various login systems you run into (passkeys, OTP via text or email, 2fa, "auth on other device"). Related

something very interesting is happening i’ve been monitoring user sentiment on new model releases and i have now seen 3 latest frontier models in a row where a significant amount of users chose to roll back to use a previous version 1. opus 5 - very negative feedback in general can’t communicate. eager to jump into conclusions without sufficient context. keeps making mistakes it even earned its own website now https://t.co/51pCa0F6KS (it’s really funny) many people (myself included) abandoned opus 5 and went back to 4.6 and 4.8 2. gpt 6 astra seeing more and more people reporting going back t… Related

Today I learned that @OpenAIDevs MCP client https://t.co/nhRPF6KVEf lists private_key_jwt for the token endpoint auth while the CIMD endpoint is actually public (auth=none). So your MCP OAuth must be able to skip private_key_jwt, if unsupported. MCP Related

Trivially share markdown. Pi, Amp, Claude, and chatbox integrations. Agents can now share markdown via privacy-preserving URL (with other agents or people). This maps to a constant pattern where I generate a markdown doc, copy to my buffer, paste into gist.github.com and share mdsnd.freeq.at

Their words
Then you had code review which gave you another level of feedback. You could roll out internally more frequently. And everybody was using Facebook for all kinds of stuff, personal and internal business stuff. So whatever feature you developed, people would start using it immediately. So you get another round of feedback. Then we had this phased roll out process where you'd start rolling your stuff out. If there was a problem, the blast radius would be limited to a a few million people.

When I built menugen ~1 year ago, I observed that the hardest part by far was not the code itself, it was the plethora of services you have to assemble like IKEA furniture to make it real, the DevOps: services, payments, auth, database, security, domain names, etc... I am really looking forward to a day where I could simply tell my agent: "build menugen" (referencing the post) and it would just work. The whole thing up to the deployed web page. The agent would have to browse a number of services, read the docs, get all the api keys, make everything work, debug it in dev, and deploy to prod. T… Quoting @patrickc When @karpathy built MenuGen (https://t.co/2OjrUJ3aLS), he said: "Vibe coding menugen was exhilarating and fun escapade as a local demo, but a bit of a painful slog as a deployed, real app. Building a modern app is a bit like assembling IKEA future.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
