The reason the code is the specification is because people don't take specification seriously. Usually for good reason, but sometimes not. Real, long-lived RFC's can exist, and can have directional and corrective impacts on your L

Their whole algo is good. I had it work on me recently on facebook marketplace, the only social media outside hn im still using. And its shockingly quick at finding niche things im interested in (somy cameras in a certain range, 30L osprey

Notably, I read this on both my iphone and mac (LG Ultrafine 5k). It is was enjoyable to read in a fun way on my phone, it did not really bug me as a fun blog font. I was more excited about the theme/design than the content. But on my

There is such a thing as difficult concepts that code can express elegantly and words cannot. Its far beyond the simple preferences you allude to. Recursion is the simplest example i guess. Perhaps maths is even more elegant, but im among m

Narration is an obvious one. Theres also a huge risk to less qualified folks and jr employees. ie in most software shops, youll get more mileage giving your best engineers bigger opus budgets and a raise than jr engineers to train. Which me

because you are now getting coded products written in large by people who do not have technical foundations, so the way they interact with and even prompt the model is different. We all know how to fix this scenario; be more specific, or di

Shutting down the isp doesnt let them read what you've sent. There wouldn't be intensive government efforts to eliminate private encryption if it wasn't effective.

Imagine the most AI pilled company imaginable. Then imagine openAI. Then imagine they are in an existential crisis and that failing may also take (part of) the American economy with it - that much on the line. Then also remember before Anth

Government cruelty as such has been an explicit subject of American constitutional discourse since the founding - its in the Bill of Rights even. It comes out of a political tradition deeply suspicious of rulers using punishment to terroriz

It is sufficiently incoherent as to suggest you aren't interested in the serious discussion you are requesting in response. You could better refute this by starting with a policy you would consider cruel, and the in turn demonstrating

On the one hand it feels true. On the other I ask - what good software have anthropic, or anyone else, produced that was fully vibed? As someone who does near 100% of my coding via LLM these days, i still find that for anything complex i am

The very same slavery which resulted in the civil war and literal killing of hundreds of thousands of non slaves, followed by their freedom? Or the prior enslavements that very often ended in organized rebellion? Slavery is at most a tempor

Concise, jargon free or limited explanation is the opposite of dumbed down. It requires to most skill and understanding to do well. Opus 4.8/5, for whatever reason, are getting worse at this crucial skill.

Coming from another experienced dev who was frustrated (early) - one tip. Don't over think it. I was tripping up in two system design interviews that ultimately boiled down to them wanting laughably basic answers (one pagination, the o

I'm surprised at all the "200ms is slow" comments. I make many purchases online, don't we all? I can't remember the last time one took sub 1000ms; they usually take several. What are some of the websites you purchas

Super helpful for me. Also insightful: on trains, when the train stops completely, the dots begin moving in reverse for a few moments. Staring at them in these moments helps me quite a bit, and also teaches me to visualize the disconnect in

it is weird how when i first heard of meme it was in the dawkins sense. then people showed me memes and i thought wtf this is just dumb jokes, what a weird transformation of the term (my understanding of it). Then i watched it become an act

Can you list out some examples that you would be supportive of; ie were they listed that you would no longer be (presumably) opposed?

In the near term thats something that can be controlled. If you buy Anthropics take, then even buying time would be a win.

I believe their argument is: What happens to the value of that infrastructure when the value of the models is commoditized or more specifically, when everyone can run the "Good enough" model on their phone or laptop, instead of on

IMO its a useful populist slogan because it solves a different problem: The power that comes with being a billionaire. E.g. its all well and good to focus on fixing democracy instead, but if (some specific) billionaires are focused on deplo
