are you talking about the hashes (##, ###) etc in the subheadings? I think that's an intentional design thing, a bit of a nod to the back row, if you will.

what are you referring to? Amnesty International, to take one example, has a huge banner supporting Iran's protestors on their homepage rn

Yesterday:

> A group of Iowa State University students gathered recently, standing in solidarity with the Iranian people and in opposition of the Middle Eastern government.

but US universities aren't working together with Iranian universities, that is the difference

It's as if there are two different actors and only one is an ally that can be held responsible by the government people are actually protesting "to".

Minneapolis is closer to home and it hits different - Iran is some far of place.

Incoming reports are saying that they killed over 12,000 people in only a few days.

Waymo has a blog post here about how humans help the computer driver with various challenging situations like lane closures with ambiguous cones, etc.

How long did those effects take to come into effect? I have been on 2.5 for a week and haven't noticed a change in my appetite, though I have lost 2 pounds.

First week. You might need a higher dose, check with your prescriber. My partner needed to go to 5mg to see improved results, but dropped back down due to side effects (which I did not have).

>Opus 4.5 has really startled me - it genuinely can do complex software engineering tasks which I'd expect a proficient developer to take hours in minutes with very few defects.

I don't use Opus, but I use Sonnet 4.5 and ChatGpt 5.1, which are only a bit down the chart.

in my daily experience, these tools can help with many tasks - scaffolding crud, writing tests, explaining how this or that part of the code works, are three that come to mind.

But a mature piece of software has usually graduated to a point that it has numerous subsystems, layers and integrations that crosstalk with each other in often hacky ways. And my work is smack dab inth middle of that. Writing a feature or fixing a bug in that soup, I have found, is something that the best AIs will slow you down with as often as they speed you up.

And that doesn't even take into consideration that a very large part of my job is just defining what the bug or feature is, before I can even begin to code. And when I'm done with the coding, lets keep in mind the fun, time consuming processes known as "code review" and "deploy to customer"


I don't think the benchmarks catch this very well. Opus 4.5 is _significantly_ better than Sonnet 4.5 in my experience, far more than the SWE Bench scores would say. I can happily leave Opus 4.5 running for 20-30 minutes and come back to very high quality software on complex tasks/refactoring. Sonnet 4.5 would fall over within a couple of minutes on these tasks.


What does "very high quality" mean here


they also offer a bunch of stuff like

- searchable website

- incredible well thought out postgres database that differentiates, for example, a recording from a release (and much, much more)

- ability to replicate changes to said database hourly to your own environment

- workable system for schema updates

- cover art archive

- refined interface for submitting/moderating listings

- etc.


the top 10,000 songs seem to be 99.9% top-40 corporate pop, which suprised me. thought a list that broad would pick up more that was outside the maintream ...


10,000 sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. Even my own personal music collection - which isn't all that impressive - is nearly 20,000 tracks.


some of these are better headlines tho


yup, me too.


brilliant. feel bad asking for something more - but an inline annotation of who these people are would take it over the top.
