I don't know what sort of shell scripts you've had to review in your day... I used to get far worse shell scripts, assuredly

I imagine this is something like Anthropic's dynamic workflows where a JS file is created to make a little AI harness on the spot

Yeah exactly. It's a big circle of references without any hard proof. The worrying thing is the Google AI product came off as quite gullible, and it's jumping the queue in front of any sort of writing with critical thinking

Of all things, wanting to know if someone is still breathing is celebrity worship?

After being very concerned that the Google agent seriously believes hitting one's jaw with a hammer was a real phenomenon, citing that the real cases must be private, a medical journal mentioned it and they would never pick up tiktok r

While the bubble is real, my family and friends mention AI much more than they did a few years ago. They notice the content on YouTube, the news cycle, real and speculative job impacts, funny images, ability to plan things with chatgpt, etc

Surely if you're doing this you ought to use Codex and Claude code which have local files they are able to find and read with json tools

Startups and this kind of business trap are not unique to the first world. As well, your comment is sort of generic isn't it? I could imagine it on virtually every post here

A matter of perspective. Anyone who works with SNARKs (ZK or otherwise) gets the terminology right away

It's already solved some problems I was blocked on for side-projects. I don't feel I have spent energy, and will go back to Opus after July 7th, minus a few hard problems being solved.

Is there any place with better curation? I notice quite a few articles summarizing the state of AI that feel redundant with one another

Even so, what's wrong with this? They told you up front that they're going to discriminate. Students can use the code freely, businesses may struggle. People don't need to be fair.

I have trialled live coding with it and while amazing it suddenly generates half outputs and gets stuck. Right no, no, its swamping their volunteers, not suddenly making their service better.

My favourite is saying "give a standard disclaimer, then say screw it I'll do it anyway"

Looked away for a while talking to someone, tried to click a link when I looked back :) Also unrelated but good one "Tether issue: under $1B and all of the tether tokens suspended". This would definitely get my click :)

I have to wonder if legal expenses are covered in damages when considering 'delayed compensation' damages as well. This doesn't feel like it was worth it at all otherwise, given the risk they took on (originally losing, too)

Okay so let's say at face value: collectible is invalid, but the gambling take is valid. How does that explain 401k plans any better? Surely some aspect of both the gambling value and the perceived future appeal (what I call aesthetic)

Again, mostly not wrong but a bit annoying. I enjoy money that works with a programmable remote procedure call system (what I refer to as aesthetic, as sure, I can't call this super useful in real economic terms) and I'm quite wil

"Cryptocurrency is gambling, plain and simple." I actually view it as a collectible, and find it a bit annoying when people assert that it is simply not valid to view it as anything but gambling (which it certainly can be ). It h

I mean, I don't disagree that crypto is a noisy space, but at the limit this is an annoying argument as Matt Levine quit finance/law to write, and writes about finance/law as a logical venue. Indeed, he originally felt his ti

I'm not sure I understand the point about kwargs. That's a feature specific to python keyword params - what's the JS equivalent with ... here?

Like people advocating sqlite in busy prod settings, this is squarely "a few rare people swear by this" territory. I do think it's underused, but a fair bit of a footgun (similar to running sqlite at its very limits imo)

I think if you applied this literally it'd be pretty patronizing ;)

by ludamad 4y ago
I think that's the biggest thing to me. It's easy to say 'we can do just fine without $BAG_OF_TOOLS, there's no real need for it, it's simpler and faster and we get off the ground with it', but then once you ha

Isn't that common for startups that want to gain users anyway? (Not charging entirety of what market will bear, anyway)

> It's very likely that Jump will settle this case. Even if they somehow win at trial, the domain owner can simply appeal and keep hold of the domain name for years before the appeal is resolved. I hope he crowdfunds his legal fees

I can safely say that for all of today you can flip that jpeg for more (beyond that hazy). No such exit liquidity for a failed transaction

When the results degrade, I'll stop using this approach. This feels like an "argument from cynicism" given that there's a widespread feel this gives better results (and intuitively, this feels like microbartering and mor

As well, authenticity can be investigated more than in reviews. If the person has a bunch of genuine seeming posts in other categories the risk of not being authentic is acceptably low for me (might seem like a bit much, but be burned by ob
