I believe that this comment is exactly the intended outcome of this “incident” and these reports. I implore you to approach these situations with at least a hint of cynicism. These “advanced foundation models” escaped their “sandbox” and co

It’ll work sometimes. You’re using a non-deterministic algorithm to generate output. If you want deterministic rules applied to it, you have to use deterministic systems to do it.

I've only had to hire a lawyer once, and it was $2,500 to have them file a couple papers and speak to the judge once. You're paying for their experience, just like an engineer - only it's often much higher stakes than a piece

There is probably something you can do to only apply some rules to the actual changed lines in a git diff. You may have to write your own linter for that specifically.

I am a bit confused about your stance. You said you didn't need to see them on Bluesky to avoid it, why is this different for X?

I built my current PC the day that the AM5 platform released, for about $6k not including the 3090 I moved over from the previous rig. If I sold just the two sticks of RAM in it right now, it’d pay for nearly half of the total cost.

I “try your suggested experiment” several times per month at work. Usually when I’m on call. It’s great at being a search engine for our docs and communications. It can also find bugs quickly in small repos with static analysis and coverage

It’s the same in a large corporate environment. I have a “personal projects” doc of ideas I’ve had to make development experiences better at my current role - it’s a couple hundred lines long. I managed to get a couple of smaller tools out

I wonder how annoying it would be to configure your harness to send Claude's non-tool output to a cheap non-anthropic subagent before displaying it.

You have misunderstood the point they are making. They’re not proposing that chatbots are good for history research - just pointing out the differences in what our nations seem to find important to censor.

When everything is “estimates”, anything sounds amazing. The impressive thing here is that Asana has such a poorly run engineering org that replacing their testing framework was estimated to take 5 years and $6 million.

I’ve never used a bank app that doesn’t make you go through hoops to even show them, let alone copy them.

OpenRouter already supports this, requests return their exact cost.

And yet some still get through! I’ve seen “LILCHYT” and “MYSHART” on the road recently.

No, it's about saving the bank money - and what costs them a lot of money is the average person being fooled into sending people their account information easily.

This is a pretty silly belief to hold about science. Plenty of strong, well held standards of the modern era were considered ridiculous fringe beliefs a century ago.

It absolutely does. People with genetic schizophrenia often experience the exact same type of hallucinations as their relatives. Please stop attempting to flame/throw petty shade because you don't like that I disagreed with you.

This been the case for a long time! The entire problem of search is that the user has the wrong data and wants to use it to receive the correct data. That was the start, not the state we’ve ended up at - it is unironically how we got to LLM

I have always seen the cookie banner as a sort of punishment to the public for daring to have demanded better treatment. “Oh you want consent involved in this interaction? Then we’ll annoy you about it constantly instead of respecting the i

DNA operates at vast spans of different scales - from the efficiency of your mitochondria all the way up to your preference for certain foods.

My personal opinion is that this is the state of so-called experts in most scientific or engineering fields at their inception - it takes a fair bit of time for the ecosystem to filter out and players to get an intrinsic feel for how "

That’s the implication, yeah. If growing to sell and bail out is your goal, do it. If you like running your business and want to keep what you built, don’t.

If it makes sense for your growth, why not? Just keep in mind that these founders are giving up control and saddling themselves with certain obligations in return.

I have encountered this exactly once, and it was in fact a flaky SD card - running a small web service off of a raspberry pi, with the SQLite DB stored on the SD.

Their CEO is a very nice and personable guy too. Has given me and others advice on random topics of his interest with no nonsense plenty of times.

Addressing the root of the issue needs to happen for sure, but I can tell you from here in the prison capital of the world, building more prisons does not help. Rehabilitation needs to be the core of the justice system, or all you do is cre
