Ok thanks. Executed on that. I had it build a simple project (actually not so simple since it involved domain knowledge about snowpack and ice) and also gave the same prompt to Opus and to Fable. When I get some spare time I'll write a

Many projects that were done by humans and took a year can certainly not be trusted.

Nudged by this thread, I've decided to switch from Claude to Codex for a bit to see what happens. But...I immediately became lost in their marketing vortex of confusion on plans and pricing. Anyone care to tell me which plan I should b

But aren't the politicians also corrupt? (or at least most of them) One therefore assumes that any action by congress must be corrupt. This appears borne out by the evidence over the past few decades.

C also has sum types.

I pay $200/mo and they provide me a tool that writes all the code I want. Seems like a great deal to me.

They have an IPO to launch, so they're not going to do that.

Ok but my understanding from the article was that the bug is "it always allows what shouldn't be allowed", therefore any negative outcome test should have failed (or at least a very very simple one). Again I'm sure I&#

Well, no. That's the bug. The fix is to "not do that", although one does wonder what the original author was smoking! https://github.com/cloudflare/circl/commit/f7d2180d6a77cfb28...

If the author is here: thanks for that, interesting read, and also nice to note the absence of a marketing name for the bugs. If you have time, couple (edit: three) questions: 1. Could you expand on this? "That human-in-the-loop step s

For the similarly confused: it displays times in your local browser time zone, not the time zone of the actual train. I'm pretty sure this is an oversight since there's no universe in which I want train times not in their native t

I suspect there are many things AI can do to help people and make their lives better. But that's not how business works: products get made and marketed because they make their owners more money. Totally different goal.

Why? They already have price pressure due to some people not having enough money. If the people currently flying business class all move to SSTs, won't the airlines now have to charge more for coach seats fitted in their place becaus

One thing I've realized after quite a long life of learning and contemplation is that: mathematics and software are essentially the same thing. Add to that that it might be the case that Physics is the same thing too. We'll see on

Commodore disk drives (4040 and so on) actually use a very similar approach. There's no FDC controller chip and the 6502 is hooked to the drive (literally the same SA-390 as Apple used) via simple hardware. The only significant differe

Definitely enjoying the lack of eye-rolling, being asked to explain obvious things multiple times, and stopping things being done for resume-stuffing reasons.

Everyone with a passport wants that. I think the issue isn't so much the government having control (all governments in all countries have such control and the sky doesn't fall in) but rather the nature of the government the citize
