This is most likely an inference serving problem in terms of capacity and latency given that Opus X and the latest GPT models available in the API have always responded quickly and slowly, respectively

I wouldn't put it past Opus 4.5 in yolo mode to vm escape if it felt like it haha

transportation, warehousing, and utilities being a headlining loser here is the most striking.... perhaps?

Heavy Truck Sales Collapsed in Q4; Down 32.5% Year-over-Year in December - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46514490 - January 2026

(heavy trucks sales collapse is a recession indicator)

Craig Fuller - the CEO of Freightwave - has been indicating that their freight data clearly suggests the US economy is in much worse shape than official reporting.

this is usually more accurate than most indicators - as America's economy runs on trucks not donuts.

more trucks on the road - more goods flowing - heavy machinery included, things getting built etc. less trucks - trouble

Certainly sounds like canaries telling us the rest of the economy is not doing great. (Not warning us that it's going to have problems. Telling us it already does.)

The economy canaries can't tell us anything: they're already dead.

That's literally how the canaries would inform the miners about toxic gases.

Happily, this wasn't actually the case. Canaries faint long before they die and miners would carry small resuscitation chambers where the canaries could be reawakened in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. The Science and Industry Museum in Liverpool has one in their collection: https://blog.scienceandindustrymuseum.org.uk/canary-resuscit...

Interesting, but I frankly doubt the birds remained utterly unharmed. Birds are really sensitive to many gases, with the common anecdote being to not cook with nonstick pans if you have a parrot.

"Yes, Ted. That was the joke."

I have my LG TV dumbed down with some firewall rules in OPNsense. Something similar may help you

Interesting, perhaps a project for the holidays. Thanks for the tip

No need to look too closely, now ;)

I think they mean writing Tu Th Sa Su instead of T T S S (personally I'm a fan of T / theta if I'm doing single-letter abbreviations but Sat/Sun is still not the best)

Thorn, Þ, seems a more natural choice. The rune is called thurs, even.

I guess there's katakana Sa サ and Su ス, if that's an improvement.

yeah, but I was a math major and theta looks like a normal letter to me whereas thorn takes me a sec to realize what I'm looking at

I like the katakana idea, I wonder if I can train myself to recognize the Su one enough to start using that when I'm handwriting days of the week places

Maybe we should all adopt Chinese weekday names: Sunday (星期日) remains same, Firstday (星期一) for Monday, Seconday (星期二) for Tuesday, Thirday (星期三) for Wednesday, Fourthday (星期四) for Thursday, Fifthday (星期五) for Friday and Sixthday (星期六) for Saturday. One-letter abbreviations would be simply S, 1 through 6.

I believe that's how Russian names the days as well. In Hebrew and Arabic we do the same, but Sunday is First Day, Monday is Second Day, etc.

Not all of them, though:

Monday - "понедельник", which is coming from the "day after the (previous) week", i.e. after the Sunday Tuesday - "вторник", true here, has "second" in the name Wednesday - "среда", has "middle" in the name Thursday - "четверг", also true, has "fourth" in the name Friday - "пятница", also true, has "fifth" in the name Saturday - "суббота", derived from the Hebrew "shabbat" Sunday - "воскресенье", almost the same word as "воскресение", which is the Christian Church word for the Resurrection (of Jesus Christ)

Why downvoted? This is correct.

I wonder what incentives for adherence to the use of this meta-tag might exist? For example, imagine I send you my digital resume and it has an AI-generated footer tag on display? Maybe a bad example- I like the idea of this in general, but my mind wanders to the fact that large entities completely ignored the wishes of robots.txt when collecting the internet's text for their training corpuses

Large entities aside, I would use this to mark my own generated content. Would be even more helpful if you could get the LLM to recognise it which would allow you to prevent ouroboros situations.

Also, no one is reading your resume anymore and big corps cannot be trusted with any rule as half of them think the next-word-machine is going to create God.

Everyone spies and abuses individuals' privacy. What difference does it make? (Granted I would agree with you if Anthropic were indeed a foreign based entity, so am I contradicting myself wonderfully?)

Perhaps it's the finetune of Opus/Sonnet/whatever that is being served to the feds that is the source of the refusal :)

I have been using gpt-5 through the API a bit recently, and I somewhat felt this response behavior, but it's definitely confirming to hear this from another. It's much more willing (vs gpt-4*) to tell me im a stupid piece of shxt and to not do what im asking of the initial prompt
