Several thousand employees means several thousand chances per working day to create a security breach. I suspect that smaller teams are, on average, more likely than larger ones to write secure software.

As a fluent native speaker who has read thousands of books and sometimes reads dictionary entries for fun, a number of these definitions are actually slightly off. "Verbose," for instance, is defined as "Using more words than

My position is that inflicting horrible outcomes on a small percentage of the population is not justifiable. If you don't understand your software well enough to prevent and/or fix such outcomes, you are in moral default by making

The only way people will get to self-expression that's worth hearing is by working their way through the self-expression that wasn't. In a better world that would happen in school and as a normal part of growing up, but at least i

I agree that it was a rude, tasteless metaphor. Alas, for rude, tasteless behavior, such as replacing your own authentic self-expression with the mellifluous spew of verbal diarrhea that bullshit machines slather across all surfaces they to

What's not okay is a world where unreliable tools can destroy people's lives based on entirely false information, and the purveyors of those tools and false claims get away scot-free afterwards.

I could not agree more that Claude itself is a janky, hacky, crappy piece of software. When management at $DAYJOB brought the hammer down and said, "Everyone has to use genAI all the time, OR ELSE," I expected to be blown away by

I have not. I've considered keyboard-driven WMs before, but have thus far gotten by using regular WMs with a few custom keybinds for window sizing, movement, and monitor placement. As long as you have an automated algorithm for the bas

Thanks for the suggestion. As one who's driving Claude daily due to corporate mandates, I can see why people fall in love with genAI coding, but my revulsion has only grown as I've learned to do it, so I won't be spending my

Thank you! This looks like exactly what I've been looking for! The name is very reasonable, but effectively ungoogleable.

I prefer ShortCat's model: https://shortcat.app/ Similar to Vimium, but for the whole OS. Apparently Homerow is similar, judging from comments I'm seeing here. I really wish I knew an equivalent for Linux. I might

Agreed, aspell is noticeably better than many of the others I've used over the years. I suppose poor implementations of boring old deterministic spell-checking are a thing, too. Maybe that's some part of the disconnects in this th

I can agree that LLMs might yield better results overall than a standard spellchecker. If your goal is to check your writing for plausibility and rough grammatical correctness, that's certainly an open problem for deterministic, conven

I recently saw a Claude skill that used Claude, with no tools, as a spell checker. I wanted to hurl my laptop out to the window.

Gorillaz had real people behind them. Not unlike Buckethead, they seemed to prefer avoiding the direct spotlight of fame, but they still wanted to create these things and put their thoughts, feeling, and original aesthetic out there in the

We know from living as humans that we have experiences. We have no such evidence that LLMs do. That's a pretty significant difference between the next-token predictor and the squishy lump of meat.

Is it possible Amodei has revised his opinion after his predictions were empirically proved false? I haven't looked at how long he's been predicting job destruction, so I don't know if that explanation fits the facts.

How are you dealing with the problem of making sure the reporting queries are correct? My experience so far is that it's harder and slower for me to understand the genAI code than to write it myself. Skipping thorough comprehension see

That is how it looks to me, too. I'm not sure, but it seems to me that if scale or small architectural tweaks were going to solve comprehension, they would have done so by now.
