I think it is because the plans are crazy expensive. when you pay 200-300$/month for an online subscription, its normal to want to extract as much value as possible.
This project is impressive but I wonder if those efforts would not have been better spent on an open platform that actually respects its users and that is less likely to kill the whole project on a whim. It seems like building a house on someone's else property.
When i tried to upgrade from 5x to 20x a few months ago, they froze my account until i sent them a full 3d scan of my face and a photo of my id. The only way i could deny was to cancel my account. So this is nothing new for them.
All i can see is a giant single point of failure called the Global Transaction Router.

i noticed that with 4.7. i tried to add instructions in claude.md to unpack meaning when communicating to me but it did not work.

Good idea, but only if the article can't be edited during that week. What's worth preserving is the version the audience actually read. Articles routinely get ninja-edited after publication, sometimes repeatedly. Changelogs should be mandatory but they're useless if we can't keep them honest.
I noticed the same thing. Every Claude release thread is full of comments saying that it's terrible and why they switched to Codex. And vice versa for Codex release threads. At least its not as bad as /r/localllama that is 90% bots now.
This rewrite of GNU coreutils to rust comes to mind https://github.com/uutils/coreutils

Its perfectly fine. Go away.
CC is really good at finding ways to work around denied permissions. The only safe solution is some kind of vm.
Safe deposit boxes are not safe. There are many stories of peoples stuff going missing.

I am surprised that this company still exists and that they have actual users after all the major security incidents.
It says: This constitution is written for our mainline, general-access Claude models. We have some models built for specialized uses that don’t fully fit this constitution; as we continue to develop products for specialized use cases, we will continue to evaluate how to best ensure our models meet the core objectives outlined in this constitution.
I wonder what those specialized use cases are and why they need a different set of values. I guess the simplest answer is they mean small fim and tools models but who knows ?
Landscape mode fixed it for me.
According to this semianalysis article, the Google/Broadcom TPU are being sold to others like Anthropic.

Browsing r/illinois and r/EyesOnIce for a few minutes will cure anyone from ever wanting to step foot in the US.
I agree. After all, benchmarks don't mean much, but I guess they are fine as long as they keep measuring the same thing every time. Also, the context matter. In my case, I see a huge difference between the gains at work vs those at home on a personal project where I don't have to worry about corporate policies, security, correctness, standards, etc. I can let the LLM fly and not worry about losing my job in record time.

The second graph has this under it:
The length of tasks (measured by how long they take human professionals) that generalist frontier model agents can complete autonomously with 50% reliability has been doubling approximately every 7 months for the last 6 years...
Exactly. With the Intel-Nvidia partnership signed this September, I expect to see some high-performance single-board computers being released very soon. I don't think the atx form-factor will survive another 30 years.
It's perfectly feasible to never use Amazon. I don't know your situation, but i think people should go out more and prefer quality over quantity. Most of the stuff that Amazon sell is crap anyway.
slow news is good news i guess.
What is the endgame? Why is OpenAI throwing that much money on image/video generation? Is there a profitable market for AI-generated image slop? Do people choose ChatGPT instead of Gemini/Grok/Claude because of the image generation capabilities? To me, it looks like a huge fiery money pit.
People would be more likely to shop in their local stores, buy local products, and sustain the local economy.
