That is either an old story or you are on v12 because mine used to do it often and I haven't seen it in at least a year from my recollection. The newest versions are really good. Waymos aren't without fault either, they smash the

It really radicalized me on the "Programmers don't understand [x]" series of articles. A lot of problems would just be solved by trust-but-verify information. If a user wants to put non-sense in a text box, that should be a &

You are correct but I think previous comment hung on specific word you used: "semi-autonomous". What that would mean is a system that still requires attention / supervision. What I believe you meant is an AV that still has hu

Another consideration that needs to be made before tossing out private transit because "public transit is better" is not all people are able bodied, able, or willing to use public transit. If it is 2am and you need to get home as

I have been playing with something similar and I see these types of projects all the time. My criticism of things like this is that they seem to rely heavily on the ~*~magic~*~ of LLMs to do everything and try to paper over gaps with major

When I lived in Jersey City, I committed the crime of living at a 1/2 address. Literally nothing could get delivered to me if they used a Google Maps address bar. My address just didn't exist at all to that search bar. It could be

I do sometimes wonder if we are all writing more than we would if we just wrote the code ourselves. I am asking that partially as a rhetorical question but also wondering your thoughts on when to deploy 'loop engineering' versus &

Shouldn't you instead envision large payments hitting the business account and a yearly dividend first? That will happen before you sell the company.

I mean sure, if you can convince whoever holds it to sell and also have at least a few million dollars to burn.

That's a fair point. I knew I was going to popped for the comment about it being an infinite space, haha, because it definitely isn't but domain names don't necessarily have the physical constraints land does. There's no

Domain names are a mess in my opinion. Even though we have over a thousand TLDs only a very small handful are considered for commerce or even thought to be valid. I have a domain name with the TLD of "today". Many people think my

Hmm. That's an interesting idea. I have never distinguished between playwright and chrome MCP, I generally just tell it "use a browser MCP" but I do have different ones installed on different computers.

Nope, it's done it tons of times before without problem. I will tell it almost verbatim "use [email] / [password] as credentials and log in to test your changes" and this is being done explicitly on localhost on a server

Today I told Sonnet (!) to use a browser MCP to enter a username and password for the project it is working on, it told me that it can't do that because it violates its security protocol. This worked fine before. I love Claude, I have

Not sure the panic. I get that it doesn't seem great to target China-based users but makes perfect sense when you consider why Fable was taken down from public access. I doubt Anthropic is cackling maniacally behind the scenes, this wa

It's true. I think most people would be horrified about how I run. I just have a hook that blocks obviously unsafe commands (removals, reading secrets, etc) but other than that, the agent is free to do whatever it wants on my machine.

Super dumb question as someone who has been using some form of AI for dev since 2023: How does having an AI audit external code help? Can they not be prompt injected to ignore a malicious change? I guess I am sort of concerned that they are

An interesting experiment could be re-wording some of these and seeing how different the rankings are. So have an alternate card titled "Promoting your country" rather than "Propaganda" or "Personal Safety" rat

Neat idea. I am more curious about your AI workflow as I stay away from other's tools because I don't trust vibe-code related tools. What is the workflow difference between `fragments/` and `plans/`. They seem logically

Maybe I am veering into NIH or becoming a tech boomer but it absolutely shocks me the amount of people who will execute a random program off the internet on their computer nowadays. I don't even really use non-mainstream tools anymore,

The problem I feel with federated solutions is basically the 'cold start' problem. When you are wanting to join a federated network, you have two choices: join a pre-existing server thereby creating the exact same problem you are

Hooks are meant to be 'deterministic' because they are only used for executing scripts on a specific step. So, for instance, you can execute your lint on PostEdit so every time it edits a file in your project, the harness runs you

At least it isn't Bitbucket. I think Atlassian and Microsoft are genuinely in a competition to see who can make worse software and still have customers.
