It's not ok if it uses resources that could be better spent elsewhere. At 3% share what do you expect them to do?

I feel like they failed upwards into the right strategy. I doubt it was deliberate and not because of the failure of their foundation models to decent.


> No, Meta just amplified

No. "Just" is understating the effect.


I tested all recent Opus versions and 4.6 and 4.7 were both fine FWIW. Seems 4.8 is when something started to go wrong.


That seems about right. 4.8 is like in between 4.6 and 5 in terms of capability and language and they are all pretty close honestly. I just default to using Opus 5 for a coding agent that I don't interact with and I like driving with Opus 4.6 or Fable. Fable thinks too much though. Fable is like that engineer on your team that will over-engineer the shit out of something if you let them. Fable was like, "Here are 34 yaks, which shall we shave first <hands rubbing together>" and I was like can't we just... write the script first and then decide of any of these poor yaks need shaving?


Meta employees reading this: whether you work in Reality Labs, ads, operations, ML compiler, LLMs, marketing, whatever. You're all complicit in the harm. Remember that.


Even those working on React? Asking for a friend


Even bigger harm since Vercel/nextjs takeover


Even React.


Absolutely! :D


You say that like what they were doing was a bad thing. It was a feature.


> So either the manufacturer-supplied originals are more dangerous than replacement tires

There's 3 main components to tire performance: efficiency, grip and longevity. OEM tires optimize for the first. They can compromise on grip and longevity. Most often I've experienced is the latter. So yes, OEM tires are "worse" in some aspects as replacements.


Most tokens are cached.


Not sure why you had to take a pop at Greggs there. Nothing wrong with a hot sausage roll at all. Assuming you can find a hot one.


you should review the data on processed meat. It's one of the least healthy things you can eat.


What processing do they do to the sausage?


Do Greggs sausage rolls even contain meat?


There is a meat option


Is there a named meat option?


You can actually tell from the very first real sentence in the README:

> Efficiency is a 162-run controlled benchmark (same agent, same file tools, only the context differs).

It's so bad that I can tell it's Claude, specifically Opus 4.8/5.0, from the first 6 words.


Opus 5 is very paranoid on giving proofs for every thing it claimed. so I let it keep this one line.
