Do people just not even search their proposed name anymore?

It is interesting to see the degree to which Claude voice creeps into normal speech. It also leads to some annoying catch-22’s, like rejecting an em-dash where you might have genuinely written one to avoid the appearance of LLM text. Thankf

Oh very nice, bliss looks pretty slick. I see musefs as being kind of an unglamorous middle man layer that ultimately just has one job, separate the metadata handling from the backing files. Since the DB is the source of truth you can absol

I first read this in the jargon file when I must have been… 10? 12? And it’s been stuck in my head ever since.

Sonnet, GPT-5.2, Gemini Flash, in a set of 21 games, where conclusions are drawn from the LLMs self reported reasoning. This is like writing a paper about kids in a literal sandbox fighting over ‘territory’. The models employed don’t indica

Is it really though? Now admittedly I’ve never worked with LexisNexis or Westlaw, but would it really be that difficult to have a tool just check if the citations actually exist?

IIIRC in terms of clients mutt (&co) will actually handle “@“ in the local part correctly. > But the real reason I do that is just because I just like to sit in anger whenever this breaks the user experience because of programming er

Well I have a new favorite website. I don’t know the last time that I read something that was so thoroughly and multidimensionally my shit. Not actually measuring crispness when you self report having the perfect equipment to do so is a cru

This has a serious case of in-housing the edge cases that I don’t think many would want to pay the price for. The problem with DNS per the haiku isn’t that it’s difficult to understand, or even that running your own DNS server is particular

My interpretation would be that he feels his wife is incredibly loving in a quantity he isn’t able to match (degree) and in a unique way he’s not able to match (kind). General life experience plus the fact that he wrote that tells me he’s p

I’ve had one experience with Claude Code so far that genuinely frustrated me, but it did it to such a degree that it wrapped back around to hilarity. It tried to run a command got an error, realized it needed to cd to a different directory

Wildly true. Purely anecdotal on my part, but in my experience the cooking stack exchange was just awful to even try to ask something on.

My initial thought was that that would probably be taking the simulationism too far. My second thought was how funny it would be to swap calendars to get out of a truce early. “My Lord, you can attack them until March of next year!” “Then M

I think that largely depends on how you engage with the internet. To continue the metaphor, the internet has an absurdly high noise floor, but it’s easily filtered noise. So if you do that filtering you’re actually left with a pretty high S

I think this article hand waves and side steps what I see as two notable issues. The main one is aquifer depletion. The consumptive vs withdrawal argument mostly holds water, but consumptive is a sliding scale. Evaporative cooling for data

Accelerando and The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi (and that series as a whole) are the best examples of how weird the future is going to get I’ve read. Other series like The Culture are amazing too, but the aforementioned feel possible i

Hm, with regards to the difficulty of scaling these systems specifically and really the whole topic at hand more generally I don't know that there is sufficient domain specific data to justify a viewpoint either way. I mean how many ex

Pretty much this. For further consideration it may be worth looking into Daniel Dennett's writing on qualia (notably that they're ineffable and private).

I feel like it's apparent why comparing healthcare in the US with healthcare in, well, any of the aforementioned countries, is problematic. If you look at Western Europe (a bit less populous than the US) or the EU as a whole (a bit mor

Using fossil fuels for plastics has to be better environmentally speaking than using them for energy. Simply by virtue of the fact that the carbon is trapped as a constituent of the plastic, not binding off as CO2 and floating away. That as

Well the question at that point is, protected from whom? Security is never a binary state, it can only be assessed relative to a given threat model. I'd say that being protected from all the sites that don't use fingerprinting scr

I think you might be trying to form a model based on false premises here. The universe doesn't know anything. Or to put it another way, the universe doesn't know anything because it is everything. You seem to be assuming a sort of

I mean, the combination of not being laminated and disintegrating with ease is the point so far as I understand it. The idea being that if you ever drop your wallet with it in it somewhere then hopefully environmental conditions will degrad

That strikes me as being a much higher unit cost than I would have anticipated. Are you way overprovisioned on the arduino and the steppers or is there something else fancy going on that's driving costs up?

Are we talking about IPv4 addresses or are we talking about the internet as a whole? Because that quote seems to be about the latter and I was referring to the former above. I read the Licklider paper that they link and it's much more
