I must have missed something: why are people moving from OpenAI? Since they released gpt-5.3-codex I'be been using it and claude with opus-4.6 and Codex has always been better, more accurate, less prone to allucinations. I can do more with a 20$ OpenAI pland than with a Claude Max 100

People are mad at openAI cooperating with the pentagon while anthropic put their foot down over their red lines.
andkenneth commented on Statement on the comments from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth   anthropic.com/news/statem... · Posted by u/surprisetalk

From the statement:

"Secretary Hegseth has implied this designation would restrict anyone who does business with the military from doing business with Anthropic. The Secretary does not have the statutory authority to back up this statement. Legally, a supply chain risk designation under 10 USC 3252 can only extend to the use of Claude as part of Department of War contracts—it cannot affect how contractors use Claude to serve other customers.

In practice, this means:

If you are an individual customer or hold a commercial contract with Anthropic, your access to Claude—through our API, claude.ai, or any of our products—is completely unaffected. If you are a Department of War contractor, this designation—if formally adopted—would only affect your use of Claude on Department of War contract work. Your use for any other purpose is unaffected."

I'm wondering how this plays out in practice. Does the administration decide to strongarm contractors into cutting all ties? Will that extend to someone like google who provides compute to anthropic? Will the administration just plain ignore any court ruling? (as they've shown they're ready to do recently with the tarrifs situation)

If the legal system works as intended, the blast radius isn't too big here and something Anthropic will accept even if it hurts them. Maybe they even win and get the supply chain risk designation lifted. But I have zero faith that the legal system will make a difference here. It all comes down to how far the administration wants to go in imposing it's will.

Bleak.

I really like that Claude feels transactional. It answers my question quickly and concisely and then shuts up. I don't need the LLM I use to act like my best friend.
andkenneth · a month ago
Weirdly I feel like partially because of this it feels more "human" and more like a real person I'm talking to. GPT models feel fake and forced, and will yap in a way that is like they're trying to get to be my friend, but offputting in a way that makes it not work. Meanwhile claude has always had better "emotional intelligence".

Claude also seems a lot better at picking up what's going on. If you're focused on tasks, then yeah, it's going to know you want quick answers rather than detailed essays. Could be part of it.

If it could do anything that a junior dev could, that’d be a valid point of comparison. But it continually, wildly performs slower and falls short every time I’ve tried.
andkenneth · a month ago
Companies are not comparing it straight to juniors. They're more making a comparison between a Senior with the assistance of one more more juniors, vs a Senior with the assistance of AI Agents.

I feel like comparison just to a junior developer is also becoming a fairly outdated comparison. Yes, it is worse in some ways, but also VASTLY superior in others.

Gravel flies. You can't have it anywhere near an airport runway.

(Some planes have no problem with it, though. You can make even the entire runway of gravel if you only fly those.)

the distinction here is mainly jets vs props.

I disagree. I believe it is a good idea to focus in your "customer" and ignore the rest.

This is the best advice I was given. People are always asking for you to unfocus and disperse.

Most people that is serious about learning chords have a MIDI device. It will make your life way harder to add non MIDI devices and the people that will use it are not really that committed. MIDI devices are so cheap today that anyone that wants one could get one.

BTW I have several MIDI devices because I create my own games too.

andkenneth · a year ago
I agree with you functionality wise, but a video showing it in use would be a good idea so those of us away from our midi devices can at least see it in action.

Lifetime mobile phone abstinent human here.

Sleep and mood (thumbs up)

Waiting for everyone else to stop using the cursed devices and start to enjoy real life allowing themselves to be fully immersed in it for the first time(shrug)

"Fully immersive" games are sought after but from my point of view people that use mobile phones have never been fully immersed in their physical reality before (its pretty sick bruh, there's beer and boobs) and you might enjoy experiences that can't be monetized or digitized (yes, they exist)

If a human experiences an interaction in physical reality and there isn't a VC around to launch a startup to monetize said interaction does it even make a simd?

andkenneth · a year ago
I wish I could do this. Do you even use a flip phone or anything? Or simply no cell phone?

Is nm the official abbreviation for nautical miles? I assume it is natural miles. For me it is nanometers.
andkenneth · a year ago
Contextually no one is using nanometers in aviation nav applications. Many aviation systems are case insensitive or all caps only so capitalisation is rarely an important distinction.

Yes, it looks like they should have written "NM" instead of "nm".
andkenneth · a year ago
No one is using nanometers in aviation navigation. Quite a few aviation systems are case insensitive or all caps only so you can't always make a distinction.

In fact, if you say "miles", you mean nautical miles. You have to use "sm" to mean statute miles if you're using that unit, which is often used for measuring visibility.
