This is incredible research. So much harm can be prevented if this makes it into law. I hope it does. Kudos to the anthropic team for making this public.

I had a similar problem this year after having moved to a new country, working a remote job and separated from my partner. Having had a terrible social life since I was a kid, I knew it in my bones that I'd have to find myself new frie

Yeah but work isn't all there is to life, at least for me. There are way more fulfilling things. If you like your work more than anything else in life, good for you. Different strokes for different folks.

I agree with the premise but take issue with the measure for "success": do you feel excited to get up and work on Monday? We're humans and no matter what you're pursuing, you'll hit a point where your brain will adj

Be careful with sharing this URL in your Instagram DMs. I built something similar a few weeks ago for watching Instagram reels, shared a link to it with someone on Instagram, and my account instantly got suspended because this type of stuff

I relate to this. I started building side projects last year, and being used to all the bells and whistles of CI/CD, serverless/containers and amazing monitoring and dashboarding tooling, I defaulted to those patterns even for my

This could become the missing piece for RAG with LLMs for company data. Every query that requires a lookup can use this model and then an agentic LLM can crawl through the hierarchy of results to extract the relevant information for the use

What's the end game? Make people write more high quality, high complexity code with less time? I don't think that's how it works. You can try to juice the rock as much as you want, but you can only choose any two of the three

The more I learn about the world the more I learn that I don't have any control over much of what will happen to it, and by extension to me. So my choice is to live my life and enjoy it as much as I can.

In which case there will be massive social upheaval, which won't be good for the newly minted god-CEOs. They are incentivized to share the spoils of infinite productivity. What good is being a god of a world in flames?
