Found a real-world difference between Claude Haiku 4.5 and Sonnet 4.5 today. As an experiment, I posed a question to it that I had gotten wrong a couple years ago. The question requires knowledge of TLS protocol details and thinking through their implications. Sonnet 4.5 caught the trap immediately (faster than I did back when I had the idea), Haiku 4.5 missed it, even when explicitly asked to think about the details of the TLS protocol.
So, yeah, it's not just differences in abstr…

I was fed up with Matrix and tried coming up with my own federated chat protocol. It got really complex really quickly.
In order to resist enshittification it needs to be decentralised. It can't be P2P because that would drain phone batteries. It must be federated. But that means that your admin could read your messages. So it must be federated and encrypted. And that's where it starts to get real tricky.

Does international law still matter? The strike on the girls’ school in Iran shows why we need it.
Article 52 of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions stipulates that “Attacks shall be limited strictly to military objectives.”

Likely violating the UN Charter (article 2(4), article 51) and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (article 88, article 90), and possibly the Geneva Conventions, Additional Protocol I as well, the United States killed 87 Iranian sailors over 1,000 miles from Iran.

contact: Haggle human proximity network (2006)
A network of human proximities, as measured by carried wireless devices. Each node represents a person, and an edge denotes when two people were within a certain proximity of each other, as measured by a wireless protocol (Bluetooth or Wifi). The edges are timestamped.
This network has 274 nodes and 28244 edges.
