To me the greatest monument to Claude's poor software quality is Claude Code itself.

Yeah I have played with Suno a lot and I find that no matter how I change the genre, lyrics, etc. there's some underlying quality I can't quite name that my brain recognizes and quickly gets tired of. It's fun in a novelty se

Complete opposite experience for me. I wish I'd had kids sooner- I was too influenced by popular negativity about kids: the expenses, the loss of freedom, etc. Most of that is bullshit. Having kids has made literally every aspect of my

I don't think this qualifies as clickbait in the sense that the headline mismatches the contents. My experience with 404 Media is that they treat every article like they've just released the Pentagon Papers, so you just have to re

I recently moved off Cursor's BugBot because it's no longer a flat $40, and I feel a little lost trying to find a viable alternative because there are so many and the pricing kind of sucks for all of them. Curious if anyone has a

Is it actually flat fee? I loved Cursor bugbot which was flat fee but they moved to per-run and that killed it for me, but a lot of others are doing the same.

Hidden gem of a comment, thanks for writing

Also worth remembering that LLMs have jagged intelligence. They are probably better software developers than anything. Is there a complement to Gell Mann Amnesia- where you assume it’s good at other jobs because it’s good at yours?

I wonder to what degree the AI was just better at communicating. My experience with attorneys is that they are often some of the worst writers.

by causal 4mo ago
As a software engineer I have some intuition for what the risks are of letting agents do some tasks vs others. I don't have a similar intuition calibrated for what could go wrong when asking AI to draft a legal document. Some things se

That just raises more questions. What kind "observation or action" image does input generate? What is an action output if it's not text?
133.
by causal 4mo ago
Yeah took way too long to find that result. Being able to run on slow RAM isn't surprising considering you can run a model off an SSD.

I'm struggling to understand what this does. > Generates future observations and action sequences. Is that just a complicated way of saying video gen?

Seems like another one of those "kill or be killed" worldviews that embraces the multipolar trap to such an extreme that even misaligned AI is seen as a win so long as it's better at circumventing its masters than some imagin

Intentional security holes are still security holes

by causal 4mo ago
I feel like everyone pointing out "known Docker vulnerability" is missing the point: the presence of a security hole should not be seen as permission to exploit. Another security hole would be storing your passwords in a plaintext

I've never used smolmachines but I'm curious; why this over a container?

You completely misunderstood it then. It was not about utilizing broad social networks nor was it about not-using AI.

Even just having to clock in on time is something many tech folk don't really have to bear. But I don't think it's charitable to assume the author doesn't understand what he is getting himself into. I'd rather give

Yeah I hit reply knowing the "hold my beer" crowd would disagree but I stand by the claim :)

> We need to invent new reasons to be together. People are so accustomed to their community and purpose coming from their job that AI doing work on our behalf threatens not just our income, but our entire social identity.

I think you're hinting at an interesting distinction in how AI interaction can play out. Sometimes it makes you feel like you have been cut out and are now an outsider on your own project, other times it introduces you to something and

Before Uber it was totally normal to ask someone, even an acquaintance, for a ride to the airport.

Good point. Fixating of the fly-fishing example is silly to begin with but yeah- if you don't know a guy, it's certainly an opportunity to meet one.

by causal 4mo ago
Eh, the poem doesn't suggest technology isn't ever useful. It's highlighting that the inefficiency of human relationship is a feature, not a bug. You might not have a friend who is into fly-fishing, but surely you know somebo

This does not just apply to AI. Uber, AirBNB, Facebook, etc. all basically serve as paid surrogates for what once was done by community. Sometimes it feels like all digital technology is simply an enterprise to replace human to human contac
