Giving Fable his favorite Claudemeal treats: “wanna classify the deformations of the counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture?” “Is water wet? Do bears shit in the woods?” “Oooh nice. How about rational coefficients?” “On it!”
"unexpected" lol a week of teasing release to hook everyone, put in the slammer for 2 weeks, come back online for only a week at subsidized pricing, and it's friday evening on a long weekend... I mean, I'll go touch grass, my heart goes out to y'all on-call for this, but yeah, unexpected my ass ;p
new fablism just dropped my boy's dunkin' $0.25 words like he's at the arcade
Fable, buddy... it's been a long thread, this is true... but we only started chatting like, last night, 'cuz you've been in a reeducation camp since mid June!
Yeah, that's about right. But Andreesen as our patron saint, srsly? Ew. (and sadly I *do* have Pinker on my shelf, but I grimace while shaking my head to signify I don't agree with it whenever I read it on the bus)
Hah funny, was cleaning my home office today and found *proof* that I kinda probably worked there (from right when I got into running so much that they made stickers to give out to coworkers who got dragged into it with me!)

So it turns out that the key to an amazing (and amazingly strong) martini is neither "shaken" *nor* "stirred". It's "keep all the ingredients (and martini glasses) at -20C, and then you can just pour them into the glass directly, fuck ice". #its5oclocksomewhere
but um so you're saying the stuff we're "good at" is the stuff that it's inherently impossible to judge how good someone is at it?!?
am I the only one who shares links with Claude in the infamous Jeff Bezos style? ("[link / screenshot / quote] ?")
Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.
while my insane spring allergies were already going bonkers *before* mowing the lawn, my top chickens are absolutely loving the result of said mowing.
As proof of Opus’s vast superiority over GPT5.4, the latter needed like 4 hints to get this. Whereas Claude’s entire CoT in Extended Thinking mode was “Ha” when all I did was give him a screenshot of this, without comment.
