Sometimes you actually are holding it wrong. It's pretty reasonable to think that Fable isn't worth the massive increase in cost, but if you think it outright doesn't have any benefits over Opus 4.8 then your workflow is prob

"Make the Add to Cart button blue" is fine as a first step. When that doesn't have the desired result, I would simply revert the change, start a new session, and do something like "Give the Add to Cart button its own the

Yeah, if this is how people interact with claude I’m not surprised they’re having a bad time in ways that I don’t. Asking it why it did something or getting combative is a waste of time.

It's almost like it's not a Spanish word. It was coined by native English speakers to describe themselves . It also happens to be a terrible English word, but the fact that it doesn't work in a different language's gram

If you want to ship a prebuilt binary that'll run on any linux distro you need to statically link libc and musl is by far the easiest way to do that.

Some are more common in short people and some are more common in tall people. Hypertension is one of the ones more common in short people and is significantly more common than the rest combined, so your overall chance of having some form of

SOC2 requires basically nothing beyond that you follow the procedures that you say you're going to follow. The relevant text of CC8.1 is: > The entity authorizes, designs, develops or acquires, configures, documents, tests, approves

In the time since that VC++ has switched to a frozen ABI model that’s much closer to what Linux distros have. Each version of VC++ being ABI-incompatible and requiring each application to be built with a single version and ship its c++ runt

EA has a few branches of thought. One of them is "I am going to donate $X to charity each year. How do I maximize the good this brings to the world?" This group is sometimes less effective than they'd like to think, but there

You should be committing things that are broken all the time. Git works great as a persistent navigatible undo buffer, and you should commit every time you're in a state that you might want to return to.

To strain the metaphor, there's no trees! Yudkowsky predicted that there'd be a forest but it's actually grassland and you're saying that he's right because there's plants. AI has not developed in even slightly

He made specific predictions about what problems AI would cause, not just a vague "AI will be dangerous". Those specific predictions were entirely incorrect; they both said that things would happen that didn't, and failed to

No, my calculus class in HS very literally started with finding the area under a curve “manually” and introduced integration as a generalization of that. I’m not surprised to hear that calculus is sometimes taught very poorly, but it’s not

My eyes glaze over pretty much immediately and I just close the tab no matter how interesting the subject of the writing sounded like it was going to be.

The tube for my portable AC unit would quite easily reach the ~250cm to the tops of my windows and it is not unusually long. I'm not sure what makes you think that would be a problem.

K-lite originally was a giant mess of stuff that gradually got pruned down as the libav-based things got better and covered more of what was needed. These days it's just mpc-hc plus lavfilters and a few incidental tools.

I have written software which needed to support SMPTE standards, and to do so I pirated the standard. The standards are initially written to reflect existing systems, but then more systems are developed later.

The top-end rate with PG&E is not way higher than $0.50/kWh. If you're paying $500/month with no AC and no homelab or whatever then you have something else sucking up vast amounts of power and you should spend some time w
