Color is not wavelength! And we’ve known this for a long time. But the problem is that we want something that is an empirical, measurable number that’s outside of an observer, that’s a thing out there in the world, that would be the same number regardless of who looks at it. And color, at its core, is not that.

I did in fact read the article. It’s dumb. Color is a wavelength. They’re conflating language with color.

    Color is definitely a wavelength. The names we give colors like “yellow” or “blue” are massive ranges of wavelengths. That’s the problem here… the ball can be both green and yellow because no body asked if it was yellow-green, they only gave a binary option: “is a tennis ball yellow or green”. It’s neither. It’s between the two.

    Claude can one shot tasks until you get a larger system then it completely shits itself. These models are nothing more than autocomplete, and they can’t hold large systems in their heads. Anthropic literally tried to rewrite all of bun using Claude, they said they did it and yet it still hasn’t released six months later.
