I typically see the exact opposite problem when giving Claude the reins on a large undertaking. Claude will, without prompting, break the implementation into 6 phases, and write AI slop “code as English” specs for each phase, each one with

Seems like high-risk and low-reward for your network security. You could host it behind the WG interface, but… still exposing the castle’s master key to a python web app. I have found that WG client management is as simple as a couple scrip

I’ve used a few of the hosted VM options for this like Coder and really dislike having to do my work in a web browser. This is why I made ParaSpace ( https://paraspace.dev/ ) With ParaSpace I can use a real terminal and my no

You have to enjoy this article from the perception of its time. For example #1, the idea of a central codebase + many deploys was not always the way folks did things lol. The (2025) date must not be correct…

I wonder why Epstein was communicating with 4chan's founder in 2011...

For sure Claude especially must have a knob that allows them to route traffic to lower quantizations as desired, as well as arbitrary throttling. It’s clear as day. I’ve also noticed this behavior on Sundays, not just US workday hours.

Claude already does summaries at the end of long output but they often sound even more like terse jargon nonsense than the long form, eg “the hardwired seam and the relocated barrel”. Sometimes the summaries feel totally alien to the task o

After learning a little Mandarin I was amazed at how much simpler the Chinese grammar is than all Latin, Germanic, Romance, etc languages. No gender, cases, tenses, conjugation, articles, word order inversion, etc. It's remarkable. Man

Good point. It's sometimes challenging to get a Rust program to compile... but if you do, it's probably going to work.

This looks like the most convoluted and token heavy way to consume a bulleted list.

This is very close to my workflow but you forgot one important step: - Suggest a better approach that makes the AI say, “That’s much simpler. And you’re right. My original plan was over-engineered.”

The most frustrating thing about the cookie banner is that the solution was always obvious: just use the DNT setting on your browser (Do Not Track). It already existed. However, powerful interest groups like ad companies that profit from yo

Can an AI slop plugin effectively make AI less sloppy?

Have a strong feeling that Anthropic solicited the ban from Lutnick as part of their, “so powerful it’s a national security threat” marketing campaign. Pretty evident as they kicked it off with self-imposed limits (“0days on every OS”) etc,

Obligatory git joke. Git gets easier once you understand branches are homeomorphic endofunctors mapping submanifolds of a Hilbert space https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/2564...

SillyTavern folks have been perfecting the unslop solutions for years now. Gotta be a way to draw from their progress.

I am curious about the false positives and why you would need a tool for this rather than just a clever prompt for an LLM.

Afaik many benchmark tools have a way to run until the 95% confidence interval is reached. Might be a good addition to this project.

Can confirm — they got me paying $100/mo this way. Also I think it’s well known that OpenAI is the much less expensive option (in tokens and $$). For the same $20 you get a lot more mileage. Curious if folks have strong opinions about

And it's Howard Lutnick... the guy who lived next door to Epstein and magically wasn't at work on 9/11.

The entire arc reads as a marketing stunt rather than a legitimate national security threat. Maybe Anthropic asked the US for this action to be taken. edit: > Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (lol) Fable was out for 3 days, not really l

The US fundamentally wants the oil to flow globally. Its secondary blockade of the Strait seems to be driven by optics and PR rather than strategic value.

Is the conjecture not trivially sound at an intuition level? It's surprising that this proof was difficult.
