No thanks.

I don't think Claude wrote this, even so, it's still cool. I'm not proficient in COBOL, although the README.md is very human generated, its not verbose at all.

If you're tying to budgetmaxx, why are we having a car payment on our total?

Gone are the days of $500 dollar drivable shitboxes, although you can easily get cars in the US for under a few grand. Why you'd be penny pinching and taking a loan out is beyond me. You ideally don't want a loan for anything, but some may excuse a home loan...


Both of my Range Rovers cost under a grand, combined, although that's in the UK.

They cost pennies to tax and insure. They're a bit expensive to run, but they do stuff I can't easily do with something cheap to run like pull 3500kg trailers up mountains.


From the article;

"Sarah Paige Roland, a Waymo rider in Phoenix. "I get privacy, time back, a safe ride, and I'm not obligated to talk to someone that I don't want to talk to. Adding cash back and priority pickups on top of that makes Premier a no-brainer for someone like me."

How does one "get privacy" via a Google spyware car exactly?


I'm pretty sure you can figure out the intended meaning, rather than the one you're trying to twist it into.

It is hard for me to feel sympathy for under18s when they go around in gangs and groups stabbing random people.

I find it hard to believe they don't know what they are doing when they brutally murder someone. They know they are protected in society and the repercussions are always minor.

I don't know what the solution is, but forming a gang to steal cars, kill people, just doesn't sit right with me without severe punishment.


Whilst true, if you had unlimited compute 5 years ago, we wouldn't be anywhere near Mythos level purely because the technology behind the models wasn't refined enough.

I personally hate the Mini, Nothing, Pro and Max nomenclature. I find it very tacky and the confusing having to remember a "base model" exists without any descriptor.

Apple does make it worse though, they have products like the iPhone Pro Max, which combines two!


Antrophic wants to stop training models and ride out Mythos / Fable for as long as possible.

They are trying to expand the 6-18 month gap they have against China-based models. Could the gap widen to say 24 months behind?


Their gap over Chinese models like GLM-5.1 is nowhere near 18 months. In many areas, it’s less than 6 months. The best closed models 18 months ago were worse than Qwen3.6.

These coding agent models only started getting useful in January. Before that they were difficult to control autocomplete, and not very smart.

January was an inflection point, and no open weights model has crossed over that same threshold.

This is definitely recursive self improvement territory, except that we're prohibited from participating.

It feels like the capability gap is wider than before.


It was more like November. But it wasn’t really an inflection point, harnesses got good enough that people started noticing by the holiday break. And I’m not discounting some good ol’ stealth marketing in there as well.

Deepseek feels pretty close to Opus at this point, and it’s certainly useful enough for me to spend $20 on api tokens instead of four Claude max plans….


Have you tried deepseek V4? It costs pennies and is as good as Opus 4.6 (I found 4.7 to be a downgrade, and cancelled my claude subscription before 4.8).

The threshold has definitely been crossed.


It is not as good as Opus. I've tried to write Rust with it (and Codex for that matter), and it's awful.

YouTube is an example of a site that Firefox has trouble handling.

Unsure if its a Firefox bug, Google pushing nonsense or uBlock Origin but constantly the YouTube UI Lags, video playback buffers, freeze, etc. Some days its near unuseable on Firefox, but I push through.


> YouTube is an example of a site that Firefox has trouble handling

That's fully on Google. I use plenty of other streaming sites where Firefox handles full-screen video just fine. Coming from the web search company that penalizes the rest of the Internet for slow-loading pages, Youtube is basically an embarrassment and I'm convinced this is completely intentional.

It's gotten so bad that I don't even try to watch Youtube in-browser any more; when someone posts a link that I think might be worth the effort, it goes straight into youtube-dl and I'll watch it offline or not at all.
