Yeah, there is a level of organizational trust that is required to use this tool (as with any system that allows distributing access via service accounts). We do signal to Claude that there's a difference between a conversation's

there is certainly code that sucks; but the article strikes me as someone conflating "code that sucks" with "code that is complex and big and takes a while to get used to". I have found that a lot of the "massive am

Well said. I think a more honest article would’ve been if the author just said “they aren’t conscious because that feels kinda weird and crazy, amirite?”

But in this "Elysium"-like scenario, that same class would have automated protection in place that makes them ~untouchable and capable of keeping the rest of humanity incapable of pushing back.

wow, I've been wanting a "PCB design system" like this for such a long time. I've always found it stupidly hard to just take an existing working board and tweak it.

I'm always afraid of the day Logitech takes this away. Somebody should try to make an open source deploy of this too.

I've been pretty happy with my ASUS ProArt PA32QCV (32", 6k, but only 60Hz). Kinda infuriating that Apple doesn't let you adjust third-party monitor brightness though (and my work disallows apps like BetterDisplay).

It's not black and white. There is an entire spectrum of completely justifiable and extremely questionable uses of military power by the US.

Being labeled a supply chain risk means that companies with government contracts cannot use Anthropic products _for those government contracts_, not that they have to cease all usage of Anthropic products. Reporters seem to be reporting on

This sounds like a case of a bias called availability heuristic. It'd be worth remembering that you often don't notice people who are polite and normal nearly as much as people who are rude and obnoxious.

Totally agree. The author's most significant example is two code snippets that are quite similar and both pretty nice.

I agree with your points in general but also, when I plugged in the parent comment's nonsense question, both Claude 4.5 Sonnet and GPT-5 asked me what I meant, and pointed out that it made no sense but might be some kind of metaphor, p

This is referred to as “online reinforcement learning” and is already something done by, for example Cursor for their tab prediction model. https://cursor.com/blog/tab-rl

No, it’s 200 millimeter-dollars. Much different unit.

It’s such a nice project. But boy do I think it would benefit from mass production. People spend a lot of time printing generic bins and baseplates that would be better spent just printing custom bins.

It’s a glorified autocorrect. It is not useful for people who are already decent at writing.

Same. I want an office that feels safe, clean, and comfortable. I don’t think blood stains from a dead body motivate me to do anything other than look elsewhere.

Have you found cameras you’re happy with? That’s the main thing holding me back is not knowing a good PoE camera to use.
