When evaling models, we anchor on the median task. But this is like how devs estimate the median task accurately but underestimate the mean which tends to be ~2x estimated (thus "double your estimates"). This applies to models too—we optimize for time/cost on median tasks. But it's the tail tasks that determine a project's completion, and reliable models (like Fable and Opus) are the diff between success and failure. Work with models as collaborators, not tools. Go beyond pair-programming, where given a narrow spec, the tool just executes in minutes. Instead, explain your intent and what succ… Quoting @Steve_Yegge Fable is careful. None of the other models are careful. GPT-5.6 Sol, Opus, Kimi, Grok. You can compare them all day long on capabilities, and it doesn't matter, because in order to use a model for real production work, it must first and foremost be careful. That's the only dimension that matters to… Related

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.
