@karpathy in the minutes before Fable 5 was shut down, a simple code review task chewed through over $500 worth of my credits. I have been using it since it was released so I know the rate at which it burns tokens and this is definitely an anomaly.
@AnthropicAI in the minutes before you shut down the model, you chewed through more than $400 worth of tokens in a simple code review task. In mere minutes. This can’t be right.
No matter how much biz planning and spec writing I do before programming, there’s always that moment when everything crystallizes and I realize “now, THAT’s the product.” Not that the work leading up to that moment is wasted, but the focus shifts and the design simplifies and the benefit becomes greater than the feature itself. I love that moment.
@F1mech I never ever want to watch another race without you commentating. A positive and lovely energy, backed by unmatched experience and knowledge. Please, please, you need to do more. Tell them Danny said so.
@hughlaurie@jan_murray Thank you, Hugh, both for indulging my curiosity, and for using the word démodé in a sentence. You don’t see that every day. At first, I thought it might be lupus, but then I thought I’d better ask.
Incorrect. The British say the crowd are on their feet. Full stop. I KNOW what it is. I stated so in my original question. I don’t need pedantry. I’m trying to understand the finer points of traditional British English. No one is addressing this. You’re just spouting grammar rules I already know.
You’re not answering the question I asked. The British use the plural for most collective nouns. They say “the crowd are on their feet” and we do not. I understand American grammar. I understand British grammar. I am curious why the British quirk was inconsistently applied by a Brit.
@hughlaurie@jan_murray Hugh, I��m interested in your seemingly inconsistent use of the British collective noun taking the plural “NBC weren’t happy,” but the American singular for “audience wasn’t happy.” Is this just a result of so many years on this side of the pond, or am I wrong about the rule?
@neilkatz Both can be true. AI reduces effort per task, but real determinism still takes iterative planning before you build. Compressed feedback loops raise velocity, but velocity without structure is just intensity. Winners won’t automate most, they’ll iterate most. Discipline>speed.
