Oh it's been a while since I looked, one of the tile stores I used to go to in Montreal had them -- not as a set mind you, but as two different lines of tiles that happened to be the right proportions to reproduce the pattern.

If you want something truly diabolical, attempt to tile your bathroom with either of those patterns (yes, these tile shapes can be bought).

The naivete of some of the comments here is astounding. It doesn't matter whether you're right, it doesn't matter whether it's the law, it's irrelevant that you have rights, etc. Those things are of the past now, fo

It's interesting that (as per the article) the work pumped out by this synthetic think tank does not seem to align / disfavours the official party line of the country. You'd imagine if this was propaganda, it would be support

My employer is encouraging AI adoption across the board, to the point of basically making tokenmaxing part of performance KPIs. I think they're pushing headlong into disaster, but they are not the kind of people to take advice, or admi

Ok so, all the appliances and cars and TVs and who knows what other embedded electronics sold in Illinois will require the user (?) to verify their age?

> only saving grace might be some sort of a 'national security' proclamation banning the use of state-of-the-art Chinese (and non-US) models In what kind of sad and failed dystopia is this a "saving grace"? For whom?

Kickback would be bad if it binds in the kerf - I think sawzall is better/safer for cutting pipe that's under load.

No one who has answered "no" made it thru the selection process, so there might be some survivor bias at play here.

I'm on the verge over here, the new Anthropic models have been a disappointment. I've tried the A3B variant, but had mixed results. What do you use as the coding agent, and have you heavily customized your workflows?

A request to avoid these rhetorical devices, explicitly naming the ones you want to eliminate (eg, antithesis).

Claude peaked with 4.8 - Fable and Opus 5.0 are useless for anything beyond one-shotted toy projects for one crippling reason: they first invent unnecessary complexity, then get hopelessly tangled in it. This happens in any reasonably large

It'd be great if they could come up with a photo of the truck. But an alternative to the oversized absurdities we have on the roads these days can't come soon enough.

The bicycle is almost anatomically correct! Forks should be raked the other way.

Very neat! I like how the decoy text is less visible to the human eye than the "hidden" message, but it's the other way for the image models. Well done!

I've put a few lines in my CLAUDE.md to have it not do that, and avoid the top tedious rhetorical devices (super helpful when I have it write documentation). Still fighting with its natural tendency to insanely overcomplicate everythin

It's an absolute regression to the mean. We need to understand the correct place for LLM-driven coding agents et al: they're beige paste extruders. Which is actually a perfect match for 80% of corporate world. For anything unique,

I don't know, it's getting better every day. The other day, I took apart an old handheld vacuum cleaner to scavenge the internals. All there was inside was a small but powerful motor, and a couple of 18650 batteries with a charge

We're getting closer to the bubble-bursting peak. Yet another tech corp that fired a ton of experienced people hoping to squeeze more $ for a quarter, finding out AI hype is not all it's cracked up to be. Loving that for them. Sec
