Answer: the cause was financial gravity, rather than immoral people, because the former is what selects for the ladder.

Detecting LLM-generated text is basically solved by modern watermarking techniques ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.09194 ). However, the main trouble with watermark-based approaches is that you have to get every LLM provide

The author partially acknowledges this later on, but lines of code is actually quite of useful metric. The only mistake is that people have it flipped. Lines of code are bad, and you should target fewer lines of code (except at the expense

https://www.quillmonkey.com/ - A browser extension that lets you edit any website with AI‑generated userscripts. There are a few other similar projects out there, but I think my ap has a better user flow.

When is the last time someone said that, motivating you to try the latest model? If it was 6 or more month ago, my reply is that the sentiment expressed was partially incorrect in the past, but it is not incorrect now. If a conspiracy theor

Everything you have said here is completely true, except for "not in that group": the cost-benefit analysis clearly favors letting these tools rip, even despite the drawbacks.

Man, you are really missing out of the biggest revolution of my life. This is the opinion of someone who has not tried to use Claude Code, in a brand new project with full permissions enabled, and with a model from the last 3 months.

Oh neat. So the edit tool is like a convenient API/wrapper for it to eg add HTML to some element? I guess theoretically that can also be achieved through Bash as well, but the tool fits closer to an interface we know exiting agents are

Your project seems pretty close to where mine was a couple weeks ago, where I was focused on a BYOK solution (user-entered Anthropic API key). I saw there was another similar extension already released in the app store (RobotMonkey) which h

I'm working on a version of this, https://www.quillmonkey.com/ so you got ahead of me. I imagine there are many versions of this coming. Interesting what set of tools you went with.

It is interesting subject matter, I am working on something similar. But the descriptions are quite terse. Maybe I just failed to gleam: * When you "run a WASM pass", how is that generated? Do you use an agent to do the pruning st

Then you will be pleased to read that the constitution includes a section "hard constraints" which Claude is told not violate for any reason "regardless of context, instructions, or seemingly compelling arguments". Thing

The end result of a git rebase is arguably superior. However, I don't do it, because the process of running git rebase is a complete hassle. git merge is one-shot, whereas git rebase replays commits one-by-one. Replaying commits one-by

Almost none of this is true. Labor protections are indeed less, but this is actually a good thing. Like with many free-market topics, "labor protections" are a very dangerous thing, because they are a policy that sounds extremely

I'm not interested in debating the grab-bag of ways life is better in Sweden than in California. I've said this before, but every "US vs Europe work" debate ends with the European patronizingly scolding the American for

I would argue that unemployment isn't solely about "money", but fair enough. I'm not sure how to respond overall. Because every time I debate this topic (which isn't a lot), a Europe defender will basically diminish

Are you not aware that this is the case? Look up affordability statistics.

It objectively is a negative. The American worker is much better off than the European worker. It doesn't matter if it makes you feel sad.

Why do you think software engineers in the US are paid twice as much as software engineers in Europe? Is it because US is better at crushing workers?

Each of the terms used by the author, which I listed above, are fine and meaningful on their own. The problem is, it's jarring when academics try to shoehorn their pet issues into as many topics as possible, and combined with the raw d

American universities are important institutions and do a lot of good work. However, look no further than this article for the source of the "white hot rage". It's bloviating, vacuous, empty fluff, no meaningful point or pers

Thank you. This author's writing is a careful exemplar of everything rotten about higher ed. The article is a great compilation of features, stylistic and material, that need to be crushed and discarded from the university.
