> What exactly do you mean by something disappearing and reappearing when panning? Could you explain the phenomenon in a bit more detail?

When you pan (click and drag, or touch and drag on a phone), all the bushes and the background disappear for what feels like a second or two, even if they're the same bushes as before. No network connections are happening during that pan, it's just a redraw that causes them to blip in and out: https://share.cleanshot.com/KvwXCVl7ZpLYk8KzFBN1

On Firefox the panning (before mouseup) is itself much laggier than Chrome. (Firefox generally has slower graphics, in my experience). It also suffers from the disappearing graphics on mouseup issue.

Same thing happens if I zoom in and out, one mousewheel notch at a time - everything momentarily disappears before rerendering.

> Also, what exactly is the large-scale solution you mentioned?

By "big", I just meant literally the larger libraries I mentioned earlier (Leaflet, OpenLayers, OpenSeadragon, Konva, Pixi.js, etc.). They're bigger in both in popularity/mindshare, but also in filesize and complexity, which is what you're trying to avoid. However, they do have optimizations for the graphics rendering pipeline that maybe you can borrow from, if you look at their source code.

Some examples:

Some thoughts:

>It's no doubt fine enough for adults, but the blog post is focused on how it affects children

Doubly so for children. Being locked into a rigid hierarchical familial/social situation that one is born into completely inhibits the development of self reliance, individuality, and a (healthy) ego. You are never allowed to be something that you are not expected to be by others and thus can never truly grow as a person. And if you try, you will be cut down to size, because "who do you think you are?".

For an example, just look at the people who never left your hometown compared to the ones who went and made a life for themselves. It's pretty miserable and depressing to see grown adults trapped as the same person they were in high school.
It's actually super easy to form a "brand new branch of mathematics". Just start with some definitions and run with them. Although you'll almost certainly end up with something inconsistent.

To all commenters quickly pointing out the ways this rule is far from perfect: you are completely right. This being clarified, is the alternative doing nothing? Because that's where we are.
Highly disagree state to logic is a huge problem. Once you couple state and logic together you lose modularity so such couplings need to be avoided.

The reason is as I said. Once state and logic are coupled it becomes entangled with all the logic related to the same state.

What you’re referring to is a transaction. Where multiple states must be changed at the same time as a transaction. And while you don’t explicitly say it you’re implying that transactions are required. They can’t be avoided. And that’s where I agree. Coupling state and logic is a problem and must be avoided as much as possible, but you can’t fully avoid it.

The main problem with oop is that it promotes the coupling of state and logic everywhere. The style of programming maximizes tight coupling all over the place. That is the problem and the insight you’re not seeing. Years of doing oop makes you feel that such couplings can’t be minimized. This makes oop highly unmodular. It makes it so that refactoring a of code are normal almost every time a new feature is introduced.

If you want more insight into what I’m talking about you can follow some of the branching threads that I’m in where I write examples and maybe you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Not just devices, Jetbrains software has hardcoded DNS too.

I'm sure other large vendors do something similar.

This is an important thing to tackle too. Amazon is notorious for allowing shady practices like Sell product A for lots of 5* reviews, then change the product listing to a completely different thing (which may or may not deserve 5) ...

Another aspect is review solicitation. eg: ios games often pop up with their own modal of "Rate us" and if you click 5 it redirects you to app store to make a review, if you click 4 or less it redirects you to a feedback form. They grease the path for positive reviewers.

Perhaps Harvard wishes that were not the case, and some of the time it probably isn't. But I find it hard to believe that no one pays tuition for that purpose.

There probably is an objective reality for all know. I even refer to it sometimes. But all I have to work with are these five senses, and this faulty brain.
my quick notes on Computer Use:

- "computer use" is basically using Claude's vision + tool use capability in a loop. There's a reference impl but there's no "claude desktop" app that just comes with this OOTB

- they're basically advertising that they bumped up Claude 3.5's screen vision capability. we discussed the importance of this general computer agent approach with David on our pod https://x.com/swyx/status/1771255525818397122

- @minimaxir points out questions on cost. Note that the vision use is very sparing - the loop is I/O constrained - it waits for the tool to run and then takes a screenshot, then loops. for a simple 10 loop task at max resolution, Haiku costs <1 cent, Sonnet 8 cents, Opus 41 cents.

- beating o1-preview on SWEbench Verified without extended reasoning and at 4x cheaper output per token (a lot cheaper in total tokens since no reasoning tokens) is ABSOLUTE mogging

- New 3.5 Haiku is 68% cheaper than Claude Instant haha

A counter point, or maybe complementary point (b/c I agree w/ the quote). I killed myself trying to do more than 8 pull ups in a gym for ages; at times I'd be going to the gym 4x a week doing full body workouts, always working hard, always sweating, always gassed at the end; consistently doing pull ups to exhaustion on multiple sets. Yet 8 was a kind of ceiling. At some point I stopped working out, but got a pull up bar at home. I stuck it in my office doorway. I would do occasional pull ups -- never more than 2-3, usually only 1. But just casually a few times a day, nearly every day, when I walked by it. It was never hard, it never felt like work. It became more of a way to briefly relax, an alternative to the cigarettes I used to smoke. Well after a year of that when someone challenged me to a friendly pull up competition, I was shocked that I could do 15 in a row easily, I still had more in the tank even. That always stuck with me because it taught me that while hard work is important, consistency is _more_ important. Working "hard" as such is often not only not required, but perhaps often not actually the thing that will help.
The range downgrade was a significant disappointment. If you figure towing a trailer cuts the range by about half, the Cybertruck at 500/250 miles would be not great but reasonable for pulling a camper on a trip, but at 300/150 miles, it’s just not practical. The off-road performance also is sub-par, so it’s not good at two of the main things people buy a truck for. As a fashion statement I guess it’s still pretty good if you like the styling.

So it has parking spaces for perfectly normal reasons then.

Neglecting parking in planning regulations just forces people to park in neighborhoods and such instead of at the commercial spaces they are visiting.

> I wouldn't attribute this to malice when it can also be explained by incompetence.

I don't think it's malice either, but if Opus costs more to them to run, and they've already set a price they cannot raise, it makes sense they want people to use models they have a higher net return on, that's just "business sense" and not really malice.

> and they likely just haven't updated the marketing copy across the whole page yet

The API docs have been updated though, which is the second page I linked. It mentions the new model by it's full name "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022" so clearly they've gone through at least that page. Yet the wording remains ambiguous.

Which ones are you looking at? Since the benchmark comparison in the blogpost itself doesn't include Opus at all.
> the rule bans reviews and testimonials attributed to people who don’t exist or are generated by artificial intelligence, people who don’t have experience with the business or product/services, or misrepresent their experience.

Does the rule apply to private citizens? I wonder if the First Amendment agrees with penalizing private citizens "who don’t have experience with the business or product/services, or misrepresent their experience". They may mean that businesses can't engage people to write such reviews.

Also, how will they handle the scale of enforcement? The large companies seem easy - one enforcement action covers all of Yelp, another all of Amazon, etc. But what about the infinite reviews at smaller vendoers?

Overall though, I think this is great and long past due. The lawlessness of the Internet - fraud, spying, etc. - is absurd.

Yes, you will find similar things at essentially all other model providers.

The older/bigger GPT4 runs at $30/$60 and peforms about on par with GPT4o-mini which costs only $0.15/$0.60.

If you are currently, or have been integrating AI models in the past ~2 years, you should definitely keep up with model capability/pricing development. If you are staying on old models you are certainly overpaying/leaving performance on the table. It's essentially a tax on agility.

I totally get that, but do consider that there were probably people in the past who felt that non-analog art wasn't authentic. That it's not a real piece of art on a real piece of paper or canvas, but a mocking grid of pixels digitized to mimic the authentic but with a jagged plastic aftertaste.

Personally, I love pixel art and think it a very legitimate medium to create art in. I can understand why somebody wants art to be something physical and real, unique and non-digital, but I feel much more strongly that the advent of digital art gave more than it took.

My hopes is that the same will be true for AI art.

Maybe I'm wrong but doesn't the first ammended apply to public speech ? Is there some nuances there when a private company is involved and responsible for the content on their platform, in this case reviews? Genuinely never sure of these things for the US.
