I imagine that it probably went like this "what about identical twins?" / "Don't worry about that for now, we'll solve for it before we go live, but it's not in this milestone". Then someone pulls ran

I don't think the parent meant that it doesn't need moderation, but we've always had that in IRC/boards etc. But there's nothing akin to personalised algorithms, resharing posts, multimedia content etc. I mean even

To me, the biggest hurdle to trying to manage agents like humans is that there's no real continuity, out of the box at least. You can trying to get around this with RAG and markdown files and skills but you're basically building f

That's not the point he was making at all though. He wasn't saying "buy a fancy pen, it's better for your brain". The positioning is "every time people hear that I write on paper, they come up with all these re

I would've thought you could solve that with multiple agents. So rather than having "Claude" installed as a god-mode user in all channels, you have 10 instances of a bot running, each with their own context and ACLs. For exam

My understanding of what they were saying Buzz is is that agents are "1st class" users in their own right, rather than being an app integration. If you have a user called Claude, then you just apply ACL as normal & you don&#x2

that feels like the opposite analogy though - filleting a fish to the precision of a Michelin starred kitchen might be hard, but knives in general are easy to use, even for a beginner.

I think it's a really interesting space, because it feels like the answer to what a DM does in context is on a spectrum - as in, their decisions on what is valid/invalid is not pure game engine analysis (Nb1 is illegal, disallow)

Why wouldn't a player be available though? CD/DVD players won't just suddenly stop working. My CDs and CD players at home from the 1990s are still working completely fine. If they do want to posit it as this, I'd persona

I think most people would consider it something published alright, as other definitions start to become a bit absurd (e.g. reading the menu at a restaurant or the match day programme probably aren't what people consider as 'readin

He'll likely win alright, but at the last GE, he only received 21,225 out of 45,648 votes cast, (so got 47% of the votes on 58% turnout). I think you'll get a non-trivial amount of people voting for Binface either a) because you d

I think Erskine May just says "Members should dress in business-like attire" - so maybe if he had a special 'business bin' as opposed to a 'smart-casual bin' he could argue the point. He would though have to re

It reminds me of that old parable where the acolyte asks the priest "Father, can I smoke while I pray?" and gets told "No, you should be focusing on praying. That wouldn't be respectful". But then he says "Can

I always find it funny when a technical crowd starts picking on em dashes as a sure sign of AI. I mean, are keyboard shortcuts really that difficult for developers? Some of us always knew how to use correct punctuation, even before LLMs exi
