Yes, for CMS channels, which would be your movie studios, TV studios, etc. They have an option to block certain countries from watching it. If you are around in YouTube often enough you will find a video or two that will say something like "this video isn't available in your region/country"


I am sure they are already doing that. To think that an AI researcher is doing essentially api integration work is a bit silly. Multiple efforts can happen at the same time


They certainly have internal research efforts underway, but I'm talking about what’s actually been released to end users via the Claude app or API. Their latest public Sonnet release 3.7 (feb 2025) felt pretty incremental compared to Sonnet 3.5 (june 2024), especially when you compare them to OpenAI and Google released models. In terms of the models you can integrate today, Anthropic hasn’t quite kept pace on either reasoning performance or cost efficiency.


Well there is nothing stopping any school in the developed world from loading this on to a pi or something and having everyone use it too. It's free and open source (from what I can tell).

It's aimed at places with little to no, or unreliable, internet. So if you have normal internet speed there is nothing you can't get that's on the box. Also it seems that its not even a curated Wikipedia, it's just a full clone of it (assuming for whatever language your downloading)


I thought the same thing, it wasn't a quote about all AI, it was in direct response to what he saw which was a "person" like limbing on the floor in a creepy way.


When I first heard of this I thought it was kinda crazy, who would do a payment plan to get some overpriced takeout delivered food. But like you pointed out, it's more or less the same as a credit card, which I didn't even think of. I guess credit cards are so normalized and has the option to pay it all off at once. Good point!


I had this happen at a local community College but it also was where you would access your grades. Shut down over winter break, was awkward to tell my internship coordinator that I couldn't access the website for 2 weeks to get my grades because the website was closed over break... Fricken crazy (and they where using a pretty popular platform, this was not some home spun system)


My guess is that it was hosted on a physical server on campus, and they didn't want to pay IT to support it during winter break.

It is probably easier to just close it down to avoid handling all the angry phone calls if it would happen to have an issue during the break.


Expect there is no next episode when he gets in contact with high voltage electrical equipment...


Ah yes, the last book in the series: Curious George and the Electric Fence

Truly, a classic


Just thinking that. Spend a few minutes trying to have chatgpt generate some images with Dall-E 3. Flux would probably be better to get all the specific details but ya


(didn't look at the code yet but) Would a challenge of building an app like this that heavily depends on a LLM be getting a deterministic response back? I guess you could code for it to check if it gave you a certain format of data or if it was what you expected, but if I upload something that Claude doesn't understand and it gives back something that breaks the data analysis then that seems it would be tricky to handle that case.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!


Anthropic and OpenAI let you define a JSON schema to adhere to for tool calling.

Here's the part you're looking for: https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-quickstarts/blob/mai...


For some reason, the guarantee in the format of the response doesn't seem sufficient in preventing backwards incompatible changes that may happen to models.

Yes, the response might be in a standard format. But a well formed response can still be bad/broken.

Another way to think about it, is it can "pass QA" one day, and "fail QA" the next day even if the API response is identically formatted/structured.


This is why OpenAI and Anthropic provide date versioned models.

gpt-4o can change, but gpt-4o-2024-05-13 will always use the 2024-05-13 snapshot.


i have a feeling those dates are an illusion of sorts.

I get the feeling they frequently deploy hot patches for edge cases. I hate to call them edge cases because they are actually “real cases” - things like adjusting system prompts so one day it might happy answer “Fill in the blank: F _ _ _ you”.

To truly freeze a model, you would need to freeze its weights, freeze its system prompts (no one sees those), and avoid any and all action that might impact its output. Perhaps would even need the default temperature to be 0 so it’s truly a deterministic API, with the option to add in some temperature to the responses.

Until then, I consider those “versions” but only reference the model weights and not the abstractions around the model


Tangent, but it seems like such a tough engineering challenge to keep all these models around and available at an instant


My cat often lays down twisted 180 degrees or more. Just doing whatever they want, defying laws of nature.


Well, dogs also do this—I present to you my majestically twisted creature: https://imgur.com/a/5WcYzSw

I have no clue how that is even possible.


Brought memories of one of my cats (now silent meow) who also added the Italian equivalent of a middle finger.

Yeah, nope. If I get like that, I'm never coming back. Probably have to bury me in that pose.

Is this really just a matter of stretching? I read the article and he sums it down to he needs to stretch every day (he said himself thst his diet doesn't matter too much) He was also in the circus since 4, but this doesn't seems like something I could do in a lifetime of practice.


You probably couldn't. There are lots of forms of hyper mobility, and extreme versions come with health risks. With practice and training you can probably do a lot more than you imagine, but for most of us the whole "fold yourself in half backwards" thing is beyond the limits of our spine, and it's for the best.


No, it's not just down to stretching although I remember being told that as a kid when asking about "snake ladies" in circuses. Yes, the stretching and training is necessary but all the stretching and training in the world won't help you bend like this. Some people simply have hypermobilities (often from connective tissue disorders) and these can allow them to bend themselves into a pretzel. The stretching and training is as much for learning how to take it to such extremes as it is for learning how to do it (relatively) safely. Of course these conditions can still often lead to complications and often have other negative impacts like chronic pain, frequent bruising, slower healing and a tendency to dislocate various joints.


Your dog is the inverse of the Firefox.


My Shiba Inu does all kinds of similar things. He also doesn't hesitate at all when trying narrow spaces. He only hesitates once he's all the way in and realize he can't go any further nor turn around so he has to back up completely back out.


I almost sprayed all my tea to my monitor and keyboard.

Wish both of you a happy and derpy life together.


Mine managed to fit into this tiny basket, all by himself: https://i.imgur.com/htIw6ZV.jpeg


Clearly your dog has been possessed by a demon.


majestic indeed!
