I have tried l-theanine, didn't do anything that I could tell. But fortunately there's a much better solution for those of us who get anxiety from weed, it's called "don't smoke weed".

I use playwright CLI. Wrote a skill for it, and after a bit of tuning it's about 1-2k context per interaction which is fine. The key was that Claude only needs screenshots initially and then can query the dev tools for logs as needed.

I thought this was going to be an interesting take on how to prevent all the wealth from being passed down within families. But no, it's just about China becoming more like the west here. Generational wealth; the rich, and their childr

Good for you. But other people are allowed to find things exciting that you don't. Personally I'd find the idea of thinking screwdriver... Well, weird. But definitely amazing and exciting.

Or maybe they find the idea of computers that can think just as exciting as you found programming at the start of your career?

This is actually a Fox News article and as far as I can see it's not corroborated anywhere. I saw a reddit thread about it earlier where someone said the apparent hacker refused to actually show any of the data and was asking for money

Dang - there's already a "showdead" toggle. Do you think we could also get a "showgreen" toggle to filter out this kind of noise? I'd probably find myself toggling it more often but I'd still appreciate it

Happy for your girlfriend, and anyone else who escapes because of this. But it's not about the current generation of addicts. It's a play to capture the next generation. It remains to be seen whether they'll get caught or not

I've wanted to join lobste.rs for several years but don't see any way to do so. I think that might be a bit too far in the other direction.

To extend on this, the measures of productivity before LLMs were difficult for any kind of complex work, so there's no reason to think we would have better measures now. You need broad economic measurements, not individual or company

That was definitely true with early LLMs but I don't know if that's still the case. Certainly not as strong as it used to be. I think now most negative instructions are followed quite well but there's still a few things that

I assume it'll work more as a review pass rather than expecting good results outright. For all kinds of things like this where I feel like I'm fighting the LLM, doing the initial work then auditing it seems to be the best approach

Yes, those are exactly the kind of steps they would need to publicly commit to in order to retain trust. And yet, instead we get silence, no acceptance that some measure of responsibility falls on the editorial team here. So it's clear

All they had to do was write a clear and simple message saying that one of their staff was responsible, has been fired, and they'll take steps to avoid this in future. Their actions so far just make me think they're panicking and
