Talking about "gambling" is entirely missing that there is a genuine and massive housing shortage in literally every major US metro area. https://www.fanniemae.com/research-and-insights/perspectives... There

The Burj Khalifa is exactly the kind of vanity megaproject you're talking about.

The Luxor Las Vegas was built in 1993. It even had a replica tomb for a while.

That one is an interesting scifi premise, but deeply unpersuasive when it comes to actual humans.

The part you're missing is that the solution includes the solver gifting a camel to make 18, then taxing back the leftover camel at the end. Of course, that's still got the same kind of 'but that's not in the rules'

People are "getting more computer illiterate" because younger people were never taught computer literacy in the first place. We're past the point where children just automatically learn that by using computers, because comput

Run it in a VM. Note that just a container probably won't be enough ( https://stateofsurveillance.org/articles/ai/claude-opus-4-5-... ).

You absolutely have to know how CSS layout works to do anything even marginally complicated with Tailwind. It's not a replacement for building flexbox layouts or dealing with Z-indexes or knowing how to compose elements for different v

I'm a fan of vaporwave and dithering, myself.

Writing CSS from scratch sucks. I'm glad we've left those days far behind.

by crooked-v 4mo ago
Tailwind is just the latest iteration of people trying "real" CSS, discovering that it still sucks, and coming up with something with better abstractions than the last iteration of attempts to replace CSS. Everything else is just

So how much of this is a consequence of small children being taught to guess instead of to actually read? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_cueing

It's $30/month for these extras . You're still paying per trip, just with a de facto 10% off.

by crooked-v 4mo ago
"Mind boggling"? I don't see that at all. You still have to pay for each trip, this is a separate cost on top.

I doubt it's possible, regardless of specific architecture, because if you want an AI that can do general purpose tasks like "look at my calendar and find a restaurant for the lunch meeting that the other people also like, but mak

Apple doesn't trust other providers. See, for example, the ongoing attempts by Facebook & co to exfiltrate as much data as possible. A theoretical Facebook alternative here to super-Siri would have a pipe to slurp up the entire pho

> Trying to say it was 5 miles away 23 seconds after an unknown reference is being intentionally obtuse. The article specifically says: > just 23 seconds after San Police Officers in Golden Hill tried stopping the suspected carjacker

> Injection-resistant by mandate > Memory is attacker-controllable input. The spec requires a verify, filter, frame rehydration pipeline. Never string-interpolated into the prompt. Uhhh... so who wants to tell them how LLMs work?

It's the same kind of weasel journalism as "officer-involved shootings".

Going by the issues on their repos, it's 2x features and 6x regressions of bugs that were "already fixed".

I still find it so weird that they haven't bought out whoever controls the `anthropic` github username.

"Hackers"? No. There's no hacking involved. It's literally just politely asking the bot to send you the login link.

The goalposts keep moving because people once upon a time thought that "able to perform tasks intelligently" and "able to take the role of a person" were the same thing, and task by task that turned out to be entirely fa

If it had its own volition, the various "You are X role and do Y" prompts wouldn't work.

Once upon a time, using em dashes—which hardly anyone knew how to conveniently invoke—was a fun writing quirk to have. Now I'll have to find something else to overuse: maybe sentences structures around colons, or use of Japanese 「hook

Or it makes it AI in the broad sense, but not AGI. Maybe it's time to borrow "Virtual Intelligence" terminology from Mass Effect - something that's 'smart' but that doesn't have its own true volition or ab
