You want to do task X and discover you need cable Y. You go to find cable Y missing, then discover a new one is $55 and 2 days delivery. Never again.

Rovelli is arguing (I think) that we need to fundamentally view consciousness as a natural phenomenon - albeit one that is extremely complex and poorly understood. So we ditch the philosophical puzzle and focus on the reality we can perceiv

Agree. We have a bunch of tools - specs, code, tests. All of these really are models of the end outcome we're trying to capture. You could just build something, see if you're right and then build it again. If that seems ridiculous

I wish they'd have done this in a separate Codex app. On desktop I greatly prefer having Codex separate from ChatGPT... As compared to Claude, which is growing so fast and adding features so quickly it seems bolted together (I get why

I've worked on plenty of code where the original author is long gone. Not sure that holds water at all.

I've personally had people talk about token leaderboards at their work. Amazon and Meta did have ones, but I'd take with a decent grain of salt. We all know it's such an insanely gameable metric you'd be insane to actual

Are you specifically pointing at a different experience between free + paid? Or just that the free version is unimpressive? I'm using paid on TypeScript and it's genuinely terrific. Subjectively I think it has the edge over Opus.

I've been working on JavaScript runner for untrusted code. The whole API is only exposed via messages passed over stdio. Security layers: V8 isolates, two-stage seccomp, frozen globals, mount namespaces, landlock, and more. https:&#x2

"AI attribution by default" was an intentional feature, but there were also bugs . This is why the post is so unclear.

Are they apologizing? Was it a bug? Why did they make this decision and what's the end goal? It's so unclear from the message - as evidenced by a lot of the responses.

The other huge problem is you never tell the user what they'll get out of the tour . People will invest in a tour if they understand the reward (and "learning" can't be the reward).

And it's a very weak example in my view. In fact it's in the article - the reason the Great Wall myth exists is because it's so prevalent on the internet... Presumably because a a lot of conscious people also believe it.

It's a tough one to wade into because the definition is so slippery. Most debate seems to focus on the definition of consciousness rather than the evidence... which is a major tell. To my mind it's better to ask how the definiti

Fair call. I don't think couching it as conspiracy is the right frame either. This is not a one-off. I think a critical eye is warranted.

Sad news. I met Craig very briefly at a conference probably a decade back. I pretty much was a self-study in genetics at the time... so let's just say I wasn't in Craig's league. Despite this he was very engaged and took the

Codex is pretty good. Its friction to switch but I think it’s sensible being across multiple AI toolchains.

I do "just use fetch" nowadays -- but I have to say, axios definitely has better ergonomics than fetch, especially for calling APIs.

I think there is more here: Anthropic's whole market positioning is based on trust . It's literally their reason for being. The Claude constitution has a major section about not being deceptive. Now this is GTM, not the model, bu

I use pglite for unit/integration tests and it's been fantastic. Note that it uses "single user mode." This means a single connection at a time, and thus no concurrent transactions. That takes you a little bit closer to

It’s got plenty of precedent - AutoCAD has a Lisp equivalent since 1986[1]. Arguably it is what made it the powerhouse CAD tool. Irrespective - This project is pretty cool to see! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoL
