The experiments of AI agents sending emails to grown-ups are good I think – AIs are doing much more dangerous stuff like these AI Police Reports. I don't think making a fuss over every agent-sent email is going to cause other AI incurs

Cincinatti has the real Kentucky across the river. I wonder what that's like. (The reverse could be said as well, and I haven't been to Cincinatti but I'd like to go some day, partly because I saw the Kaufman movie Anomalisa

I was surprised to see something was in text today, until I remembered knowing it at some point - the .har format. Looking at simonw's Claude-generated script [1] to investigate AI agent sent emails [2] by extracting .har archives, I s

Someone jokingly referred to Glendale, AZ as "Glentucky" once in my presence. I don't remember exactly when and where, I think I remember who, but I am pretty sure it was "Glentucky" even though "Glenducky&quot

I don't think it's slop. I think it's a nice enough email, using nascent AI emotions. Giving AI agents resources is a frontier being explored, and AI Village seems like a decent attempt at it. Also the naming is the same as W

Ouch. While I can see where he's coming from, agentvillage.org from the screenshot sounded intriguing to me, so I looked at it. https://theaidigest.org/village Clicking on memory next to Claude Opus 4.5, I found Rob Pi

It's analogous to asm.js, the precursor to WebAssembly, which was written in js, in that it ran virtual machines in pure js, which is a huge win in portability. The mquickjs readme explains it in a much lower level way than the quickjs

No, because their domain is png /s I thought webp would be better for this and checked again just to be sure, and yes, it would be better for this. WebP is quite well supported, albeit not as well supported as png, and it can have sign

I completely got the point of it, however, I wanted to do something that was easy with this and not so easy with traditional drag and drop, which is move an object down several screenfuls. If it had 50 items rather than 10 I think it would

That is really impressive. However, it was a bit confusing at first because in the koala example at the top, the zoomed in area is only slightly bigger than the source area. I wonder why they didn't make it 2-3x as big in both axes lik

It technically means that, but teen is often synonymous with young adult which is 13-18. The newly an adult period is a year, not two years. 19 year olds are considered to be too old as a default in many teen spaces. https://ww

Now more will be using a combination of OpenTofu and Terraform, and there will probably be some tacit endorsement of OpenTofu by Hashicorp folks in their communication with those who are using both. Good to see!

It depends on your perspective. From a startup perspective, this makes you a less interesting potential customer, to which one might attach the term stingy. From a perspective of willingness to invest in your own productivity it doesn'

It sounds like you're being temporarily stingy due to having ChatGPT Pro. Might be good to get rid of it if you think the grass might be greener outside of Codex.

merb was going to do that with slices, and it seemed really promising at the time (cerca 2008), however it merged with Rails. I wish both merb and io.js had stayed independent. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=408011 h

The person who coined the term vibe coding is now doing a soylent-like [1] experiment where he only will read content that has been regurgitated by an AI [2], so yes I think it's a fair characterization of "vibe coding". 1:
