Are you saying you've never had an experience even somewhat like this while working with Claude, or any LLM for that matter?

It's reductio ad absurdum , satirizing the Claude experience.

Distrust of the government comes in different levels: you can be just distrustful enough to be skeptical yet accepting, and so distrustful that you actively try to vote the bums out. I don't think the polls distinguish between them.

Tufte would love this interface; it packs a ton of info, but is easy to use and understand.

This article is quite well done, especially from a programmer's perspective, but falls flat (no pun intended) for me because of my terrible ear for pitch. > Here are five notes. Every one is double the frequency of the one before it

Serious question: how do you prove that the Lean interpreter itself (not to mention the toolchain built around it) is error-free? Isn't this turtles all the way down to some degree?

It looks more like awards for events, e.g. "Most Creative and Engaging Event" and "Best Event Series (over 1800 attendees)," none of which seem to have anything to do with the quality of any awards given at those events.

To some degree, yes, except that Anderson's sets and costumes are highly stylized to the point where they come across as contrived and artificial, which is at odds with the naturalistic deadpan aesthetic.

From the article: "During a dinner conversation at a gaming convention in 2012, Eric Harshbarger was asked by a board game designer if he could come up with dice that would determine who goes first — without the possibility of a tie. T

Consistency of abbreviation style is important, too. It drives me crazy that the Google Maps API uses lat/lng rather than lat/lon.

Ok, but who do you think fixes the bugs? There must be countless devs out there who are slaves to fixing Jira tickets all day, so I still don't understand OP's assertion that full-time bug fixer isn't a thing.

To some degree, yes. Not to the point that I can't or won't do it, but I would certainly prefer books to be printed much wider. I can mitigate some of the issue by keeping my index finger along the left margin as I read, so I have

I had this same discussion on another HN thread a while back. I prefer lines to run as long as possible; I find it difficult/distracting to move my eyes to the beginning of the next line every few seconds. I'm sure I'm in the

Yep, that was it. This is not the first time a website failed to perform as advertised because of this. To be clear, I'm blaming the websites or their creators; this is not a bug, but rather a feature working exactly as intended. But I

Are these transitions supposed to be animated, i.e. the video changes size over a few seconds? Because it just jumps instantly to the new size for me on both Firefox and Chrome.

> In regard to “cyber”, there is, IMO, no valid reason whatsoever to train a model to autonomously create exploit chains. A valid reason would be to find those exploit chains so you can fix them. Of course, the model should be sandboxed

OP's scenario specified only "AI Agent" and did not describe how it was trained or what its parameters were supposed to be. You're assuming that the tool was designed such that it couldn't break the law, and therefo

I can think of a couple of solutions: 1. Glue a US $1 bill to the spine and take them to court when they destroy it. 2. Send them a license to use the book, with the condition that if they fail to return it within 30 days, they owe $1M. (He
