Incels on first dates:
any insult from anyone on the internet and it's on sight. i don't play i don't negotiate i don't even smile. i'm a wolf from another dimension. there is no compromise either. every consequence is a direct result of YOUR actions. keep that in mind when your door gets kicked in.

Today we’re launching Ask DoorDash — a new conversational way to search the app in your own words through chat, voice, a recipe link or photo. Ask DoorDash can build you a grocery cart ~5x faster than doing it manually. It takes a single prompt to complete your cart in under 2 minutes.
In early testing, nearly half of all restaurant orders made with Ask DoorDash were from a place the customer had never ordered from before, and grocery baskets built with Ask DoorDash were over 35% larger than those without. [1/3]

When you see a shitslop idea this clean, you are forced to re-evaluate your own shitslop ideas against the simplicity of this new Occams razor.
My shitslop ideas look so contrived against the elegance and brilliance of this ones’ simplicity. I am jealous that the thought of this never crossed my mind.
Bravo Andrew!

In the dark dungeons underneath San Francisco, countless infra engineers are hunched over computers still typing code manually, one keystroke at a time. Sweat drips down their brow as the flickering glow of their light-mode IDE faintly illuminates their faces. One wrong move and the empire collapses.
It is only by their carpal tunnel-ridden graces, that Boris Cherny steps up to the soapbox to announce to the masses that he has uninstalled his IDE. Millions erupt into cheer, straight into their $100 microphones clipped to their desks. Their carefully designed loops growing tighter and tighter around their heads, cutting off oxygen flow to their brains, and bringing about self-lobotomization.
Up in heaven, Indra breathes a sigh of relief as the devas weep. Babel will fall. But the show must go on.

Fable 5 is the biggest step up I’ve felt in our models since Opus 4.5 back in November. After 4.5 came out I uninstalled my IDE when I realized that I’d been doing 100% of my coding in a terminal for a few weeks. With Fable, it’s felt like Claude has stepped up from being a coding agent to a thought and design partner in building the product. Fable has judgement, taste, and dimensionality in a way that previous models didn’t, leading me to trust it more with the most complex work.
I think the first time I had this realization was when I asked Fable to debug something. It is the first model I have used that was so methodical and precise, taking measurements and adding logs then verifying that it truly fixed the issue before declaring victory.
There’s nothing in claude code’s prompting telling the model to do that, it’s just part of its personality. It really has this “big model smell” that I haven’t felt before.

Picked up the term, anti-inductive, today after seeing it for the first time in the thread below. Powerful idea
What came to mind:
- fractal complexity
- antimimetics
- desire for uniqueness / contrarian / special snowflake
- hampering of new info/advancement propagation through a group
- investigate causes, not effects
- (when appropriate) seek motivating abstractions, not discrete patterns
- entropy
- discovery strongly encoded in one-persons head -> propagation -> weakly sharded across many peoples. Interplay between pointers, references, and what's actually stored in memory (and where)

for anti-inductive domains, yeah. and i think this is a *huge* portion of white collar work

I have a new kind of big button that I can press for Codex. Over the next 100 days, we will select one person per day who does impressive or incredibly useful work with Codex and give them 10X usage limits for a month to see what they can do with it.
First one tomorrow.

Can’t believe it.
I’ve spent years watching their videos and doing everything they said.
I even added a cofounder because they recommended it.
