Wut…did GPT5 evaluate itself?

Despite the “official” coding score for GPT5 being higher, Claude sonnet still seems to blow it out of the water. That seems to suggest they are training to the test and the test must not be a very good test. Or they are lying.

I had no idea given the title of the clip South Park Studios posted. Guess that’s part of the joke?

South Park just used AI to skewer Trump so it has its uses. We have to give upstanding citizens like Insane Clown Posse the benefit of the doubt.

It’s only ok if you destroy the books in the process. Eating the pages as you read them is the most convenient way. So free food AND free books!

Looks like a bitch to clean. Gonna get all sorts of grease collecting in those grooves…

Also the iOS app is pure shit. Can’t even filter by language.

This isn’t black and white. There will always be some junior hires. No one is saying replace ALL of them. But hiring 1 junior engineer instead of 3? Maybe…and that’s already happening to some degree.

It wasn’t, but now it is.

I was just ballparking the salary. Say it’s only 100x. Does the argument change? It’s a lot more money to pay for a real person.

Yeah but a Claude/Cursor/whatever subscription costs $20/month and a junior engineer costs real money. Are the tools 400 times less useful than a junior engineer? I’m not so sure…

I mean yeah? I wasn’t counting in detail, it’s an estimate.

Previously you got 500 requests a month and then it’d start charging you, even on “auto.” So the current charging scheme seems to be encouraging auto use so they can use cheaper LLMs when they make sense (honestly a good thing).

I’ve primarily use claude-4-sonnet in cursor and was surprised to see a message telling me it would start costing extra above and beyond my subscription. This was prolly after 100 queries or so. However, switching to “auto” instead of a specific model continues to not cost anything and that still uses claude-4-sonnet when it thinks it needs to. Main difference I’ve noticed is it’s actually faster because it’ll sometimes hit cheaper/dumber APIs to address simple code changes.

It’s a nice toy that does improve my productivity quite a bit and the $20/month is the right price for me, but I have no loyalty and will drop them without delay if it becomes unusable. That hasn’t happened yet.

I’ll make you feel better: here’s a server of mine that lives in a hot garage. Sorry for the freedom units but it peaks at about 55C.

Honestly this sucks balls for the US. One more credible news source made less accessible.

Did someone fall asleep on the keyboard when they came up with kjiji?

For me it’s a trade-off: yes Plex is less good than Jellyfin from a data/cost perspective. But so far the UI of Plex (which is not perfect mind you), availability of Plexamp (which honestly is very very good), and the fact that I don’t have to pay for it anymore after buying lifetime swings the scale towards Plex for me.

If Plex somehow canceled my lifetime or forced ads on my shows or something, that would be a line — but making me opt out of selling my data is not that line for me.

I turn my phone sideways and then my upvote is in a different dimension.

Man I really don’t get this viewpoint at all…
