Interesting. I've been working on the same problem (you need stuff at a kid's level, but not aimed at kids, if you are interested in the content then it will be easier to learn): https://tailoredreaders.com/samples

Or indeed natural language to instruct humans. If it was easy to specify exactly the behaviour you wanted then we probably wouldn't have contract law.

That sounds like an opportunity for GitHub to clip the ticket for providing a way for those businesses to support those projects more directly.

I know complaining about the site is poor form, but it is really hard to take advice seriously for a site that lets other visitors spam... just general internet things to other visitors. Cute idea, but it is pretty clear the author doesn&#x

And if you squint a bit and stretch some definitions... then tipping culture isn't a million miles away from bribing culture. What is a tip if it's not a bribe to not spit in your food?

I'm a little disappointed that https://bribes.fyi/bribes doesn't redirect to that support page to be honest. When I saw the name/tag line I thought this would be a travel advice site, but I like this so much

Yup. In other words, we totally could, but there is no reason to put the time, effort and money into doing so.

Yeah, seems to be the direction the US is heading in. I'm interested to see what the response to that will be from the rest of the governments in the world. No need for everyone else to cut their noses of to spite their faces.

Not necessarily. A reproduction task as a spaced repetition activity can help embed learning. If you are trying to write that prompt there is no reason you can't refer back to the text book to build the prompt and check the output.

Using remote control I will choose a model but Claude will always revert to Haiku for the first turn. Basic stuff about features that are more than a week old just get no attention at all. From the outside Athropic seems to be a clear featu

And maybe they just wrote a sentence like that because that's how they write. LLMs learned their style from humans, we were here first.

Do you think the US needs all of its current military capacity to just deter outside aggression?

When you read someone's comment there is some responsibility to read the words they wrote and not attempt to attack them for an argument no reasonable person would extract from those words.

But paying the money is less resource efficient than using the waste heat for a productive use. As a general rule we should probably insensitvise good use of resources that benefit the general population.

You know China is busy genociding its Uyghurs population, right? Their cars are probably better than US ones, but they are not free of the taint of genocide. Edit: and that's not counting their aggressive territorial expansion in the S

Retired people have had to deal with this. I assume it is less of a problem in multi-generational homes.

Yes, compare Czech Republic-> Czechia. No problem typing that out, no problem updating my mental map of the world. Frankly I dispute that Türkiye can be the English name given it contains a non-English letter.

Oh wow, that's a game I haven't thought about in forever. Thanks for reminding me.

Just because they weren't paid doesn't mean women were not doing economically valued labour. The washing machine is probably the greatest productivity unlock since the steam engine.

Changing the tax system to tax capital rather than labour would probably get you 90% of the way there without great societal upheaval (capital would fight back though).

by verve_rat 4mo ago
There is a basic problem with framing though. Why does the labour need to find somewhere to go, but capital doesn't? Why can't the increase in productivity be captured by labour and denied to capital?

None of those are helpful examples we could mimic to figure out how to use the tools. This reads like a CV, not trying to help or educate.

Agreed. I'm actually excited to hope for a cambrian explosion of IDE experiments. LLM powered visual diagramming of the code as you work? The ability to edit the diagrams and have tje LLM apply that back to the code? Visualisation of t
