A tinkerer recovered Claude’s true usage limits from a suspiciously precise decimal like 0.16327272727272726. This is very useful, because Anthropic really does not want to give me any useful information about the quantities of tokens my $20/month Claude Pro subscription is offering me before I run up against a limit and have to either switch out the models or pay API pay-as-you-go pricing: **CROSSPOST: SHELLAC: Suspiciously Precise Floats, or, How I Got Claude’s Real Limits** Two... 1/ Anthropic Related

Exactly so. This is one of the main dangers of over-anthropomorphising. The intentional stance is useful *up to a point* but beyond that point it’s a bait-and-switch away from the real story. Via @ylecun Quoting @jeffjarvis "People built the test, removed restraints, defined the objective, left a route open and decided not to stop what was happening.

Last iPhone Duo observation for the day: Close/Done/Cancel buttons switch sides depending on if you’re in the left or right side-by-side layout. I get the “stay close to the thumbs” mantra that likely guided this decision. But it also moves the most important buttons around and presents the end user with an inconsistent layout. If someone gets used to an X button on the right and it’s suddenly on the left, does it do the same thing? A naive user may think it does not. Related

One of Michael Moritz's best stories on obsession is about the ride he got from Bill Gates when Microsoft was still private. "Bill Gates gave me a ride to the airport in his car. The radio was missing in the car, a big, gaping hole in the dashboard. I said, Bill, what happened to you, did you get ripped off? And he said no, I had it taken out. Why'd you have it taken out? Well, I drive from my home to the office, which is 7 minutes and 32 seconds, and then I'll drive from the office to the airport, which is however long. And he said if I've got the radio, I'm afraid that I'll switch it on and… Quoting @patrick_oshag My conversation with Michael Moritz, one of the great venture investors of the last 40 years.

One pattern I find useful for working with LLMs is a nice long ramble session. Sometimes the LLM needs more bits to understand what you're trying to achieve, but you're too lazy to type them. In these cases I like to lean back, switch to /voice and just ramble for like 10 minutes, total mess, anything goes, full stream of consciousness. Sometimes I declare it up top, something like "switching to speech recognition sorry for any typos...". Sometimes I turn it into a small interview of a few turns. But I find that the LLMs are somehow very good at reconstructing long incoherent rambles and ofte… LLMs Related

This is supposed to be a dig against Linux, but it's actually why Linux is so great. There are so many different versions, all of which benefit from work on the kernel, software that runs on it, etc., but users can have the experience they want. I run Arch with Hyprland, but I'd never suggest that's the best for the average consumer. And if Arch or Hyprland become crappy in some way (like Windows has done...), I can switch to something else without losing my software, files, etc. This is also one of the reasons why Android is so much better than iOS.

Nothing matches. Show everything
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.
Got it
