Also supply will only increase if producers believe the current level of demand is going to be sustainable in the long term. Which I don't think anyone really believes.

The same way nobody wanted to invest in mask supply in the US or Western Europe during covid, because producers knew the demand spike wouldn't last and they'll be left with useless equipment to pay after the crisis passed.

Anecdotal, but I asked Claude the other day about how to dilute my medication (HCG) and it flat out refused and started lecturing me about abusing drugs.

I copy and pasted into ChatGPT, it told me straight away, and then for a laugh said it was actually a magical weight loss drug that I'd bought off the dark web... And it started giving me advice about unregulated weight loss drugs and how to dose them.

Card is slightly odd naming indeed.

Criticisms aside (sigh), according to Wikipedia, the term was introduced when proposed by mostly Googlers, with the original paper [0] submitted in 2018. To quote,

"""In this paper, we propose a framework that we call model cards, to encourage such transparent model reporting. Model cards are short documents accompanying trained machine learning models that provide benchmarked evaluation in a variety of conditions, such as across different cultural, demographic, or phenotypic groups (e.g., race, geographic location, sex, Fitzpatrick skin type [15]) and intersectional groups (e.g., age and race, or sex and Fitzpatrick skin type) that are relevant to the intended application domains. Model cards also disclose the context in which models are intended to be used, details of the performance evaluation procedures, and other relevant information."""

So that's where they were coming from, I guess.

The something that happened was ChatGPT. Enough commenters didn't like the idea that everything they write publicly online is fed in as training data for AI that there's been a shift in this site's community. That, and everyone got laid off, either for section 174 or AI reasons, but Twitter employees are no longer collecting that fast paycheck and posting here. I'm sure a data scientist could make a good analysis of if what I'm saying is backed by actual data, but that's my feel based on spending more time on here than is healthy.
Show HN: Arcane Agents – A visual control room for terminal AI agents
by damanamathos | 2026-03-05 19:14:16+00:00
I've been living in terminals lately. Normally I'll have terminals running Claude Code, OpenCode, nvim spread across 10 virtual desktops as I work on various tasks, but I've found the context switching quite difficult. Switching to a new virtual desktop and seeing a wall of text always means there's a bit of a delay to get back up to speed.

Inspired by projects like Vibecraft and Pixel Agents, Arcane Agents is a hotkey-friendly RTS-style control plane for tmux terminal windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, etc). Each agent shows up on a 2D map with automatic status detection (idle, working, needs attention, error).

Now how I start my day is I'll typically open 10-20 agents for different tasks I want to get done that day, group them spatially on the map - stock research over here, code updates over there - which helps with seeing which ones are done, which need input, which ones I've left for later. Finding it has been quite helpful with that context switching problem.

It's still new, so open to suggestions!

It's also open source, and it is easy to extend it with additional avatars if you don't like these particular ones.

I am actually super impressed with Codex-5.3 extra high reasoning. Its a drop in replacement (infact better than Claude Opus 4.6. lately claude being super verbose going in circles in getting things resolved). I stopped using claude mostly and having a blast with Codex 5.3. looking forward to 5.4 in codex.

The biggest problem I remember from D3 release was that they listened too much to the "this is way too easy, not hard like D2 was" from the beta feedback. Inferno difficulty was absolutely ridiculous. I know people also were unhappy about the AH, alleging that the item drop rates were lowered to drive people to use the AH, but I don't know whether or not that was true.
by Ajedi32 | 2026-03-05 19:15:37+00:00
Correct, but if they're right in that belief then it's still just a matter of time before demand goes down and the shortage is solved.

If they're wrong and this is actually a permanent spike in demand, then it'll take the industry a while to realize it but eventually they'll collectively figure it out and increase supply. The ones who figure it out soonest and increase supply fastest will profit the most. The ones who figure it out slowest will lose market share.

If you think about it there shouldn't really be a reason to care as long as things don't get worse.

Presumably this is where it'll evolve to with the product just being the brand with a pricing tier and you always get {latest} within that, whatever that means (you don't have to care). They could even shuffle models around internally using some sort of auto-like mode for simpler questions. Again why should I care as long as average output is not subjectively worse.

Just as I don't want to select resources for my SaaS software to use or have that explictly linked to pricing, I don't want to care what my OpenAI model or Anthropic model is today, I just want to pay and for it to hopefully keep getting better but at a minimum not get worse.
by iamleppert | 2026-03-05 19:15:53+00:00
I wouldn't trust any of these benchmarks unless they are accompanied by some sort of proof other than "trust me bro". Also not including the parameters the models were run at (especially the other models) makes it hard to form fair comparisons. They need to publish, at minimum, the code and runner used to complete the benchmarks and logs.

Not including the Chinese models is also obviously done to make it appear like they aren't as cooked as they really are.

This contribution proposes a discussion on whether the European Union could consider treating foundation AI models as part of public digital infrastructure.

The article examines the structural asymmetry between large-scale model developers and downstream deployers, particularly in light of the AI Act’s documentation and accountability requirements. It explores whether a publicly guaranteed baseline model could reduce systemic risk, improve auditability, and strengthen competitive neutrality within the European AI ecosystem.

The objective is not to advocate for a predetermined institutional outcome, but to open a debate on governance design, incentive structures for data contribution, and the alignment between legal responsibility and epistemic capacity.

Feedback from technical, legal, economic, and policy perspectives would be very welcome.

Several ideas from this blog post are factually wrong.

Additionally, I cannot confirm the more subjective ideas - and I've been running Macbooks for almost 20 years, and specifically working with Python both for hobby, for research, professionally, for cybersecurity, etc.

I have an old 2013 laptop that is the "couch machine". It still works adequately. No issues with sleep/wake. Time machine outlasted the external HDD it was running on. I am writing this on an M1 Max, which will be 5 years old this year, and I hope I get 5 more years, it's just that good.

I've been evaluating coding agents for enterprise-scale software tasks. I couldn't find a benchmark that met all my criteria (full SDLC coverage, large codebases like Chromium/Kubernetes/Linux, multi-repo tasks, IR quality measurement). So I built CodeScaleBench. This post covers the build process, including the experiment design, curator agent calibration against human annotations, deterministic + LLM judge verification, DOE-driven task allocation, and the QA pipeline I wish I'd built sooner. Repo and full agent traces are public.

> edit: lol downvoted with no counterpoint, is it hitting a nerve?

I have upvoted ya fwiw and I don't understand it either why people would try to downvote ya.

I mean, if websites work for you while disabling js and you are fine with it. Then I mean JS is an threat vector somewhat.

Many of us are unable to live our lives without JS. I used to use librewolf and complete and total privacy started feeling a little too uncomfortable

Now I am on zen-browser fwiw which I do think has some improvements over stock firefox in terms of privacy but I can't say this for sure but I mainly use zen because it looks really good and I just love zen.

But the constitution is not worded as if they don't have the same fundamental rights. Even in other countries, it is the same; this is done to prevent slavery and unjust incarcelation. So visitors have the same fundamental rights to free speech, fair trial, etc.
The US has also agreed to international conventions. But the current administration seems to not care

> Your comments really sound like you don't have experience with Linux. This sounds like you're repeating things others have heard.

It's really disappointing to me that so many people assume that just because you're not convinced that linux is the right solution for every computer user that you don't have experience with the system. As I mentioned in my other reply to you, I have plenty of experience with Linux, and those experiences are why I say that Linux is just as "unfixable" to your average computer user as MacOS or Windows is.

Ok, fair point. I presumed that this crowd would be far more familiar with the capabilities of HTML5 and dynamic pages sans js than most. (Surely more familiar than I, who only dabble in code by comparison.)

No, I'm not suggesting we all go back to purely-static web pages, imagemap gifs and server side navigation. But you're going to have a hard time convincing me that I really truly need to execute code of unknown provenance in my this-app-does-everything-for-me process just to display a few pages of text and 5 jpegs.

It's important to separate the short range quadcopters that are easily built in small workshops from the long distance winged drones that can weigh several hundred pounds (like the Shahed drones).

The latter, as they're built by Russia currently, require a decent size facility to build en mass.
It's not the kind of thing Hamas could build in their tunnel system, for example.

I agree with your second point that interceptors will become depleted though and this is a serious problem.

A few years ago, we would have said that those machines got compromised at the point when the software was installed. That is, software that has lots of permissions and executes arbitrary things based on arbitrary untrusted input. Maybe the fix would be to close the whole that allows untrusted code execution. In this case, that seems to be a fundamental part of the value proposition though.

Related question:

- Do they have the same context usage/cost particularly in a plan?

They've kept 5.3-Codex along with 5.4, but is that just for user-preference reasons, or is there a trade-off to using the older one? I'm aware that API cost is better, but that isn't 1:1 with plan usage "cost."

> It's because Elon Musk's Twitter purchase and subsequent management convinced every executive in tech that you can cut to the bone, fuck your product's quality completely, and be totally fine.

I agreed with you up to this point. Twitter largely operated in the red for its entire existence prior to his "restructuring" to make it leaner and profitable. In my opinion, twitter went to shit when the incentive for creating engagement switched from gaining social capital to gaining... erm... actual capital. The laissez-faire attitude about allowing fairly terrible behavior on there gave it a PR black eye that probably didn't help either in the eyes of advertisers.

If I had to guess what happened with Block (and that's what we're all doing, guessing): a CEO's job is to make the line go up, and saying you introduced tools to increase productivity with half the staff (especially if you're overstaffed) seems to me a pretty easy way to do that. I saw someone on here refer to it as "Vibe CEOing", which I think is pretty on point. Again, just my opinion/guess.

What: Anima is an open-source app that runs AI coding agents in a continuous autonomous loop — sense → think → act → sleep → wake — so your projects make progress while you're away.

Why I built this: Vibe coding is exciting, but let's be honest — right now it's mostly "vibe" and not much "engineering." You sit in front of Claude Code for hours, babysitting every step, giving feedback, battling back and forth. The agent is doing the work, but you can't leave. That's not productivity — that's a new form of being stuck.

I wanted to shift from vibe coding to vibe engineering: define the vision, break it into milestones, and let the agent autonomously plan and execute. My ideal workflow is spending 1-2 hours a day on high-level planning and final review, then walking away while Anima drives the rest.

How it works: Each project gets a "Soul" — a heartbeat-driven loop. It senses project state, decides what to do next, dispatches AI agents (currently Claude Code) to execute, and sleeps until the next trigger. It pauses at key checkpoints for human review — accept, request changes, or roll back.

Current status: Open-source (Apache-2.0), macOS & Windows. Early stage, rough edges expected. Anima is increasingly building itself — eating its own dog food.

Happy to answer questions about the architecture, the Soul concept, or anything else.

I wonder if there’s such notion as trading on insider absence-of-information? Kind of in the spirit of “warrant canaries” (which I’ve heard more engineers than lawyers defend, and more lawyers than engineers dismiss as a legally-flimsy gimmick)…

Here, the top-tier law firm has plenty of internal legal talent to conclude, without benefit of the OLC’s opinion, that the tariffs didn’t meet the requirements of the law. And that it would, on its surface, be a real stretch to set aside the law as unconstitutional.

The only real “inside” question would be why the administration, so confidently and for so long, peed on our collective leg and told us it was raining. “Surely there’s method to the madness,” you might say to yourself (and hedge against).

Would it be insidery to say “hey Dad, this seems like an obvious slam dunk-is there something I’m missing? Some back-channel assurances from the court, …” And for Dad to say “if there is, I don’t know about it”?

Does it change if Dad’s the one to say “you know, son, it’s kind of a clown show over here, these tariffs are all bark and no bite [waggles eyebrows suggestively]”?

It feels like the cleaner if more depressing read might be that executives noticed that the administration operates on a mafia-style extortion basis: maybe the don won’t mind you buying partial relief from his tariffs, as long as you pay your “tax” to someone in the family.

My list of advantages:

- long-term stability: the code I wrote two decades ago is still valuable to me
- short (!) compilation times: this is a huge productivity boost
- the language is very explicit: one can see and understand what is going on
- mature tooling: good compilers and many other tools
- simplicity and elegance: the language is small and not much I need to remember
- portability: supported on many different systems
- performance: C code can be very performance and usually it is without effort
- lean: there is no bloat anywhere
- interoperability: it can interoperate with everything
- no lock-in: it does not lock you into specific frameworks or ways to do things
- maintained using an open and (relatively) fair process: not controlled by specific companies
- what needs to be done, can be done: there are never showstoppers

I have a few standard problems I throw at AI to see if they can solve them cleanly, like visualizing a neural network, then sorting each neuron in each layer by synaptic weights, largest to smallest, correctly reordering any previous and subsequent connected neurons such that the network function remains exactly the same. You should end up with the last layer ordered largest to smallest, and prior layers shuffled accordingly, and I still haven't had a model one-shot it. I spent an hour poking and prodding codex a few weeks back and got it done, but it conceptually seems like it should be a one-shot problem.

First off, you might be right for some small number of cases, but I’d flag any and all rants such as this, regardless of the target. Off-topic, and doesn’t contribute to the conversation.

Second, for those as you describe, when they go off on an off-topic rant about DHH, someone else will conveniently flag it.

I would describe those as a variant of the second, not the first. Those imaginative users may be polite, but they’re not understanding. While not rude, they are their own brand of entitled and high maintenance (I like your description of “exhausting”). One major reason I put them in the second category instead of the first is that the result is the same from my side, i.e. I interact with them as little as a I can.

To the first kind, in contrast, I’m happy to answer any question, no matter how silly it may seem, because I can be confident they’ll trust my judgement, that they’ll learn from the interaction, and that the next one will be even better. Just about the only thing I’m sad about regarding those users is that as they grow they start interacting less because they don’t need it as much, as they are able to help themselves.

Now that I think about it, that seems like a good way to differentiate: The good users delight you and demand of you less and less; the bad users drain you and demand of you more and more.

Reconstruction of inner experience - imagery, maybe dreams & hallucinations, perceptual phenomena.

Here is a recent study reconstructing the inner perception of optical illusions:
https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/sciadv.adj3906

Methods like MVPA (decoding among finite sets of cognitive state classes) are actually widely used for insight in cognitive neuroscience.

Ethical concerns are discussed within the field; most papers had explicit ethics sections and discussions long before AI conferences required them for all submissions. In practice these experiments require a participant lying motionless (≈1-2 mm range) in an MRI scanner with controlled gaze and attention for many hours, and even then zero-shot reconstruction is not really possible; the SNR requires many repetitions.

While I love the idea of sticking it to Trump, this is the wrong approach. The right approach (which Zelensky is doing) is for Ukraine to sell defense drones to countries that now need them (US, Isreal, Gulf States).

Ukraine gets money while scaling their manufacturing and everyone else gets drones that actually work and are continually being refined in the field.
