It’s the same in a large corporate environment. I have a “personal projects” doc of ideas I’ve had to make development experiences better at my current role - it’s a couple hundred lines long. I managed to get a couple of smaller tools out

I wonder how annoying it would be to configure your harness to send Claude's non-tool output to a cheap non-anthropic subagent before displaying it.

You have misunderstood the point they are making. They’re not proposing that chatbots are good for history research - just pointing out the differences in what our nations seem to find important to censor.

When everything is “estimates”, anything sounds amazing. The impressive thing here is that Asana has such a poorly run engineering org that replacing their testing framework was estimated to take 5 years and $6 million.

I’ve never used a bank app that doesn’t make you go through hoops to even show them, let alone copy them.

OpenRouter already supports this, requests return their exact cost.

And yet some still get through! I’ve seen “LILCHYT” and “MYSHART” on the road recently.

No, it's about saving the bank money - and what costs them a lot of money is the average person being fooled into sending people their account information easily.

This is a pretty silly belief to hold about science. Plenty of strong, well held standards of the modern era were considered ridiculous fringe beliefs a century ago.

It absolutely does. People with genetic schizophrenia often experience the exact same type of hallucinations as their relatives. Please stop attempting to flame/throw petty shade because you don't like that I disagreed with you.

This been the case for a long time! The entire problem of search is that the user has the wrong data and wants to use it to receive the correct data. That was the start, not the state we’ve ended up at - it is unironically how we got to LLM

I have always seen the cookie banner as a sort of punishment to the public for daring to have demanded better treatment. “Oh you want consent involved in this interaction? Then we’ll annoy you about it constantly instead of respecting the i

DNA operates at vast spans of different scales - from the efficiency of your mitochondria all the way up to your preference for certain foods.

My personal opinion is that this is the state of so-called experts in most scientific or engineering fields at their inception - it takes a fair bit of time for the ecosystem to filter out and players to get an intrinsic feel for how "

> How can chemical compounds contain an entire script of what the little people can and cannot do? I understand what you’re trying to say, but this sentence could be an argument against DNA. It’s also chemical compounds that contain an e

That’s the implication, yeah. If growing to sell and bail out is your goal, do it. If you like running your business and want to keep what you built, don’t.

If it makes sense for your growth, why not? Just keep in mind that these founders are giving up control and saddling themselves with certain obligations in return.

I have encountered this exactly once, and it was in fact a flaky SD card - running a small web service off of a raspberry pi, with the SQLite DB stored on the SD.

Their CEO is a very nice and personable guy too. Has given me and others advice on random topics of his interest with no nonsense plenty of times.

Addressing the root of the issue needs to happen for sure, but I can tell you from here in the prison capital of the world, building more prisons does not help. Rehabilitation needs to be the core of the justice system, or all you do is cre

How do you propose to quantify the terms "elegant" and "easy to reason about"? What unit of measurement do you use for these? This sounds like your personal feelings, not quantification.

Have you driven around them? Waymos have caused me more near misses in the last month than I can recall in a year of driving in Atlanta.

Okay, that is a lot more understandable and I do agree. Sorry for the uncharitable take!

So your stance is that it’s wrong, but you should be allowed to do it because it makes you very angry? What exactly would you think of anyone else applying that reasoning to anything in society? Would you think that they belong in society

For me, Open Source is extremely important because the tools are rapidly changing, and for reasons unrelated to my productivity. I use Copilot CLI at work, but now have a daemon that monitors it for updates and monkeypatches in my own custo

Determinism is a terrifying word to people who want to believe their LLM has a little brain and can do anything they want it to.

The primary reason I am not convinced is because it (and several other tools) frequently classify my own writing as AI-generated. Especially my technical writeups. Now, I could just assume I'm an outlier within that small false-positiv

I'm open to being convinced, but the study you've linked me is limited specifically to professionally written, proofread journalism from 8 publications over a span of a little over a single year. It's not exactly a wide bread

I like the terminal emulator but I just don't see any use for the agentic stuff. I've disabled it all because it gets in the way.

Performance vs. Maintainability is the infinite debate, and it’s a mind numbing one because in the vast majority of professional roles you will have the opportunity to prefer neither.
