Anthropic literally don't allow you to use the 1M context anymore on Sonnet and Opus 4.6 without it being billed as extra usage immediately.

I had 4.5 1M before that so they definitely made it worse.

OpenAI at least gives you the option of using your plan for it. Even if it uses it up more quickly.

When you work long enough you'll find it. Places where changing software is risky you can end up waiting for approvals. Places where another company purchased yours or you are getting shutdown soon and there is no new work. Sometimes you end up on a system that they want to replace but they never get around to it.

Being overworked is sometimes better than being underworked. Sometimes the reserve is better. They both have challenges.

If you're referring to ICE, that's gross hyperbole, and honestly a little insulting to people who live / have lived in regimes with an actual secret police.

The US is still a rights-based state, which means that when they arrest someone (legitimately or not), lawyers and human right advocates can eventually track them down.

When a secret police disappears someone, they actually disappear. Families can spend years wondering if their loved one is still alive, or was murdered by organized crime, or ran away, or was secretly taken by the state. The US these days is pretty bad, but it's nowhere near that bad.

> This seems unlikely

This is already happening. Fewer people are getting hired. Companies are quietly (sometimes not, like Block) letting people go. At a personal level all the leaders in my company are sounding the “catch up or you’ll be left behind” alarm. People are going to be let go at an accelerated pace in the future (1-3 years).

You don't even know when my ancestors came over. Why do you think they were on the mayflower and not on a boat headed to Ellis island in the 1900s? We very much had laws back then, though appealing to the existence of immigration laws is a piss poor argument.

"In 2023, the United States imported U3O8 and equivalents primarily from Canada, Australia, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. The origin of U3O8 used in U.S. nuclear reactors could change in the coming years. In May 2024, the United States banned imports of uranium products from Russia beginning in August, although companies may apply for waivers through January 1, 2028."

I personally observe AI creation phenomenally good code, much better than I can write. At insane speed, with minimal oversight. And today’s AI is the worst we will ever have.

Progress in AI can easily be measured by the speed at which the goalposts move - from “it can’t count” to “yeah but the entire browser it wrote didnt compile in the CI pipeline”

> In some cases we have even seen crashes in non-memory instructions (e.g. MOV ZR, R1), which implicates misexecution: a fault in the CPU (or a bug in the telemetry bookkeeping, I suppose).

Thats the thing. Bit flips impact everything memory-resident - that includes program code. You have no way of telling what instruction was actually read when executing the line your instrumentation may say corresponds to the MOV; or it may have been a legit memory operation, but instrumentation is reporting the wrong offset. There are some ways around it, but - generically - if a system runs a program bigger than the processor cache and may have bit flips - the output is useless, including whatever telemetry you use (because it is code executed from ram and will touch ram).

Look at the numbers for number of people who die from interactions with police (both armed and unarmed) and then compare that to the extra violent deaths that happen because of defund the police polices and then let us know what you find. Only then can you make the claim you are implying. Otherwise you are doing the conspiracy theory thing where you present random data and then imply the idea you are pushing.

Maybe everyone shouldn't have a car anyway. Turn on the satellite layer in Google maps sometime, and you'll see how it's affected everything about how we organize society. Life for most humans is just sitting in various boxes only accessible by car, interspersed by car rides between them.

We're a species of motile organisms. Not only do we have legs, to not use them is actively unhealthy. If we're going to just sit in chairs all the time, we might as well get rid of all this useless leg biomass and redesign our houses and offices accordingly.

It's worse than this though, because that's just the physical dimension to our existence. The car is a mediating apparatus that alienates man from his social field. Man is a social animal, and needs sociality to maintain mental stability. If there's always a car between you and members of your own species, intersubjective experiences will simply occur less, which is exactly what happened when everyone got one.

this is the main reason i started doing the compliance profiles for. you can choose a compliance like hippa and dbslice auto-applies masking rules, scans the output for residual PII, and generates an audit manifest your data custodian can review.

if you want to see what is being masked before anything runs, i also have a browser UI where you can review every table and column. see which fields each compliance profile covers, adjust mappings as much as you want(select what columns to anonymize and how), and export the config

both will be out in the next release.

GW1 was my childhood. The MMO with no monthly fees appealed to my Mom and I met friends for years. The 8 skill build system was genius, as was the cut scenes featuring your player character. If there's ever a 3rd game I would love to see something allowing for more expression through build creation though I could see how that's hard to balance.

Have you tried writing that as a skill? Compaction is just a prompt with a convenient UI to keep you in the same tab. There's no reason you can't ask the model to do that yourself and start a new conversation. You can look up Claude's /compact definition, for reference.

However, in some harnesses the model is given access to the old chat log/"memories", so you'd need a way to provide that. You could compromise by running /compact and pasting the output from your own summarizer (that you ran first, obviously).

This is just impossible. If they're going to be sending your email to gmail then they need to see what's in it. So they will have the data at some point. You have to trust their brown eyes that they don't look at it while it's going through their inbound and outbound servers. But they're selling it as a technical protection, not a trust-based one.

Personally, if you want private Comms, just don't use email. The protocol is just not suitable.

There are.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) maintains a database of advanced reactor designs, ARIS [1]. It lists 119 reactors. A lot of them are small modular reactors, and the IAEA has published a book with details about them [2]. Some of these reactors have applied for NRC approval, and you can find an enormous amount of details at the NRC website [3].

To answer your question: numerous reactor designs are very safe.

Let's start with the most techonogically mature: helium cooled gas reactors. Helium is a noble gas, chemically inert, transparent to neutrons (the only substance in the universe to have zero neutron absorption cross-section), and it has a hard-to-believe high heat capacity by mass. The downside is that helium is somewhat expensive and it can leak. China has been operating 2 such reactors for the last 4 years [4]. In the US, there is a reactor design, Xe-100, that is quite similar to the Chinese design. It is quite difficult to come up with a scenario where something bad can happen with such reactors. The only problem is that they are quite expensive to build and operate, compared to water reactors.

There is one design that is very similar to the design of helium-cooled gas reactors, the only difference is that the coolant is not helium, it is a molten salt. In the US, the company Kairos is pursuing NRC approval for their reactor Hermes. The molten salt has lower heat capacity than helium by mass, but much higher by volume. There is no need for pressurization. The salt used here is a mixture of lithium fluoride and beryllium fluoride (FLiBe). Fluorine is an extraordinarily corrosive substance, but exactly because it is so, the salts that it forms are extremely stable. Still, stable or not, they can't match the inertness of helium, so such molten salt reactors are a bit more challenging when it comes to the contact between the coolant and the reactor vessel. However, they are extremely far from being a "low grade bomb". These reactors are almost as safe as they can be, albeit a bit below the inherent safety of helium cooled reactors.

They dropped the magnum from opus but you could still easily deduce the order of the models just from their names if you know the words.

about the american system- i’ll shoot. i’m a trans american, and i got my passport renewed during the 2nd trump administration. i got one with a name that is… not my legal name or what people call me in my daily life. i also live in a state in the northeast that respects my rights, so i have a drivers license that matches my legal name. this is not the case in all states [1]. a social security number, drivers license and passport all serve different functions (banking, driving, foreign travel), and centralizing all of them increases the blast radius of any abuses. if the second trump administration was in charge of a centralized digital id, they could much worse things to me.

Ghoten is an OpenTofu fork that adds one thing: an oras backend that stores state, locks, and version history as OCI artifacts in container registries like GHCR.

The motivation was wanting fewer moving parts. If you already run a container registry with auth and permissions, you don't need a separate backend service (or S3 + DynamoDB) just for a JSON state file.

Minimal config:

terraform {
backend "oras" {
repository = "ghcr.io/myorg/infra-state"
}
}

What you get: locking, retries, gzip compression, stale lock cleanup via TTL, and version retention. Auth resolves from Docker credential helpers.

There's also a GitHub Action (vmvarela/ghoten@v1) that handles install, GHCR auth, init, PR comments, and job summaries out of the box.

Validated against GHCR and Zot. Other OCI-compliant registries should work but haven't been tested yet.

Tracks upstream OpenTofu — changes are scoped to the ORAS backend and related automation.

Happy to answer questions about the wire format, locking semantics, or tradeoffs vs. dedicated backends.

The root of all evil is that we don't have a functioning micro transaction network and we don't know how to build one.

For the user there is no way to pay the 0.0000001c that it takes to load a web page, for the web master there is no way to get paid the $10,000 it takes to serve the users. So we settled on advertising which can somewhat cover those costs since each individual add is basically worthless but an add campaign isn't.

The problem with using unemployment as a metric is hiring is driving by perception. You're making an educated guess as to how many people you need in the future.

Anthropic can cause layoffs through pure marketing. People were crediting an Anthropic statement in causing a drop in IBM's stock value, which may genuinely lead to layoffs: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ibm-stock-plunges-ai-threat-1...

We'll probably have to wait for the hype to wear off to get a better idea, but that might take a long while.

GP said "It is time for a product, not for a marginally improved model."

ChatGPT is still just that: Chat.

Meanwhile, Anthropic offers a desktop app with plugins that easily extend the data Claude has access to. Connect it to Confluence, Jira, and Outlook, and it'll tell you what your top priorities are for the day, or write a Powerpoint. Add Github and it can reason about your code and create a design document on Confluence.

OpenAI doesn't have a product the way Anthropic does. ChatGPT might have a great model, but it's not nearly as useful.

it is understandable to a certain degree and it is entirely dependent on your company policy. however, with dbslice browser UI, you can audit every column and make sure nothing falls through the crack and get a signed-off config. once you do that you can just use that yaml file to do as many extractions as you need

the compliance profile + UI will be on the next release
Self-Learning Customer Engagement
by davismartens | 2026-03-06 00:36:21+00:00
I rarely have a customer experience that genuinely feels delightful. Lately I've started to wonder why that is...

I get up sold on products when I'm not ready to buy, I receive emails about features I'd never use, and when I want have an issue it's impossible to find someone to talk to. This dynamic always struck me as weird.

But having worked for large brands, the truth is that most companies have no idea when and how to talk to their customers. They rely on a messy web of conflicting events and triggers that engage customers without context.

I’ve recently started working on that tries to fix this, by pulling customer events from every channel, derive important moments from sequences of events and trigger the right engagement based on your specific context, all while continually learnig what's important to customer and how to best engage them

Here's how this works in an e-commerce example (although this works for any type of brand): 2 customers may have abandoned their cart at checkout. Customer1 got an error during checkout, got frustrated and moved on, Customer2 just a regular session.

Today companies treat these 2 customers the same and just send a discount code after 24h when in reality you should investigate customer1's issue and let them know it was fixed so they can complete their transaction

I call these sequences of events that drive customers to do X vs Y, "moments". My thesis is that you can discover these moments and design customer engagement around them to build delightful experiences that feel like you're going above and beyond, tailored to the customer which improves revenue, retention and advocacy.

I would love to hear from anyone that has experience with this problem.

Is there some gain from posting so overt of a false dichotomy (especially to downplay knowing and malicious hypocrisy by a government actor)? You might as well have said the "Moops" invaded Spain in 711.

There are reasonable alternatives that aren't letting the government illegally post identities of innocent-until-proven-guilty arrested people on social media for political points ("for it is their adversary who is obliged to use" laws "responsibly, since he believes in" laws) and preventing the government from providing any information about arrested people. Wouldn't you believe it, (with exceptions such as national security, I presume) the government has documentation requirements whenever it detains or arrests people, and must disclose some of that documentation in relation to FOIA requests. When the government doesn't follow those requirements, the government is disappearing people.

I'm a backend engineer on Atlassian's Rovo Agents team. A few weeks ago, OpenAI acquired the OpenClaw project and I started thinking about what happens when agents get broad access to your data with no permission layer.
Six days later, Summer Yue (Director of Alignment at Meta) posted about her OpenClaw agent deleting 200+ emails while ignoring her stop commands. The root cause was context window compaction dropping her safety instruction. The agent kept working. It just lost the part where it was supposed to ask first.
Shield is a plugin that hooks into OpenClaw's tool system and intercepts every action before it executes. Permissions are enforced outside the model's context window, so they can't be compressed away. You set what each agent can access (read/write/execute per service), and anything outside those boundaries gets blocked or routed through an approval workflow with time-limited grants.
TypeScript, open source, MIT licensed. The plugin, dashboard, and docs are all live. Happy to answer questions about the architecture or how the OpenClaw Plugin API integration works.

> Not sure about the first syllable of "poplitibus"

Lewis and Short doesn't mark that o short or long. This also occurred with vexo, which I assumed was because the first syllable of anything starting with vex- is necessarily long (because the 'x' is two non-liquid consonants).

In the case of poples, 'l' is a liquid and a short vowel could be revealed by the syllabification po-ples (or po-pli-), but I guess this is never attested? This verse can't answer the question because the syllable is allowed to be long.

>[0] In practice, if they didn't, they'd all just flock to AMD.

only when AMD had better price/performance, not because of ECC. At best you have a handful of homelabbers that went with AMD for their NAS, but approximately nobody who cares about performance switched to AMD for ECC ram, because ECC ram also tend to be clocked lower. Back in Zen 2/3 days the choice was basically DDR4-3600 without ECC, or DDR4-2400 with ECC.

Cars are not expensive. A $60,000 car, when calculated for inflation, costs the same as a $30,000 care did in 2000. What's not kept up is wages, including the minimum wage, for most of America. Had the Epstein class allowed wages to grow alongside inflation, as had been done since 1950, nobody would be complaining about affordability.

For those unaware, Purim celebrates the pre-emptive killing of 75,000 Persians, who were alleged to be plotting against the Jews: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purim

Which confuses me, because why do so many refer to "Judeo-Christian" values, when one book celebrates pre-emptive attacks and commands killing even the women and children of your enemies [1], while the other commands forgiveness and turning the other cheek.

[1] "God then commands Saul to destroy the Amalekites, by killing man, woman, infant and suckling." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalek
