The most annoying LLM linguistic quirks are not ultimately sui generis but instead map to a certain type of StackOverflow/ExpertsExchange post.

tbh, name a more iconic duo

😅

When would you use OpenEvidence instead of a frontier model?

Initial impression is that ChatGPT-5.6 Sol xhigh is like having an army of senior R package authors at your service.

This is an insane silent bug that's been in GCP since March and which has been impacting my scientific workflows. Think you're copying over 3+ files? No you are not, you're just getting the first two. github.com/GoogleCloudP...

From earlier today. Useful information here being that Waymo doesn’t keep some reserve of vehicles on hand for “Premium” subscribers during busy periods.

ChatGPT-5.6 inspected my query and fortunately after a longer inspection, I didn't get Fable'd.

First use for ChatGPT-5.6 sol is fixing an issue where a project is not showing up correctly in the Codex sidebar. 🥴

So memorable

Carbon dating implies the existence of carbon marriage.

Unusually cursed text spam

If your grant reviewer is deploying an “AI detector” so you deploy a “humanizer” and nothing substantive is changed about the scientific content of the grant, congratulations, both involved parties are making the world worse.

They're selling dollars for 93 cents over on Polymarket.

Taco Bell is short for Tacoma Bell.

In the All of Us biobank, you can add a collaborator to your workspace. If they ask you to help shut down their VM or troubleshoot some code... too bad, you cannot see or interact with their VMs. If they accidentally launch a GPU machine and leave town, you won't know. This is working as intended.

OK I finally pointed fable at something sufficiently banal that it didn't block my access. Yes, it's very good at finding bugs. Entertaining to see that I'm bad at dealing with variable shadowing in go.

Happy 4th of July from Reno NV

Gotta love California's "prohousing designation". @mnolangray.bsky.social

Getting bugs on your windshield while driving across America used to be such a commonplace shared experience that Dire Straits wrote a song about it.

Has anyone written about what US treaties even mean under the unitary executive theory?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Claude text cut-and-pasted onto the pages of LinkedIn. I watched AI slop dance across the slides at Harvard Medical School. All those moments will be lost in time, like tokens in Fable. Time to lie.

Waymos cross train tracks again. Status level: confirmed.

Refreshing lawfaremedia.org for the next post about appealing red cards

That's right, fable is indeed back.

Happy July 1. Pic related: for suppressing schism and enforcing SB79.

It's odd because their tweet linking to this blog post seems to make a more expansive statement about what they'll be routing to Opus 4.8. Via xcancel.com/AnthropicAI/...

July 1? He's ready.

Airborne ads for MCP, very SF.

Four Supreme Court justices evidently cannot understand the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is very straightforward text. This is a genuine problem.

shot/chaser

This feels slightly less than 6-3?

One day til SB79

why am I getting this spam notification on my watch who thinks this is going to elicit favorable actions

Market Street lasers intercepting the fog

The new BayWheels throttles are very nice for going up hills in SF.

Market Street lasers are on and the pink triangle is illuminated tonight

Claude's writing is really quite bad. (Opus 4.8 max)

Pleased to disagree with this on principle. Nonspecific fear is not a good enough reason to block human flourishing.
