> Consciousness is an illusion. It is the software telling itself something. An illusion is a misinterpretation, which implies an observer. Who’s the observer then?

As mentioned in the article, prompting for minimal changes does help. I find GPT models to be very steerable, but it doesn’t mean much when you take your hands of the wheel. These type of issues should be solved at planning stage.

The average time before a car NEEDS a replacement part to run must be at least a few years. That's a different situation from flipping a switch to turn all connected cars off.

That’s true. It doesn’t even have to be just „anyone” as they sell compute module upgrades themselves. The thing it though, the old ThinkPads are already here, readily available. It’s still more environmentally conscious to get one every fe

It's an interesting concept, but perhaps a bit financially and environmentally wasteful, when you can get a 10 year old ThinkPad for 10% of the price that will perform roughly as well as this one. We don't need to bring more low-p

Was there anything resembling tourism in 300 BC?

It's such an underrated advantage of open source operating systems that if you like some bit of software, you'll likely be able to use it for decades to come. Even a core bit of software like a window manager. I grew to hate how y

It strikes me as odd that we've got so many agent harnesses, orchestrators, sandboxes, yet no one made a communicator for AIs yet.

Having large amounts of people with unfulfilled needs is not exactly a novel idea.

Teaching the user how to solve problems instead of solving them outright.

They do control the content on the notification. It's a bit odd to put the sensitive text in the notification only to recommend disabling it at the system level.

There are also drop-in replacements for the unlit screens of genuine units.

Notably, up until now Pro had 6x usage of Plus. So the title is only slightly misleading. On the other hand, the benchmark of Plus usage seems to be to be all over the place, so it’s difficult to say now how does the usage compare to the ol

Aren’t there some markers in the context that delimit sections? In such case the harness should prevent the model from creating a user block.

People want to build something with the newfound productivity, but it turns out that software development always had a high leverage against potential impact - coding was always relatively cheap. That means there is in fact no backlog of gr

Yes, but I would consider it somewhat rude to use the bell in a space where both bikes and pedestrians are allowed. If it would be required to be used regularly, I'd say the path is badly designed. I used to commute to work by bike in

Better segregation of cyclists and pedestrians into their own spaces. The bell shouldn't be something that you use regularly.

I don't like to spend much on hardware, so I bought an 5700XT a few years ago and run a "steam machine" of sorts. Never had any Linux-related problems.

Given paid off debts and frugal lifestyle (as mentioned by the OP), why not? No one keeps anyone hostage in the high CoL areas.

Probably. But it’s happening at all levels. Legacy companies like Microsoft or Apple are very interested to associate themselves with AI, but not so interested in actually developing good, useful AI products. There’s marketing material for

It’s a very common arrangement, both with and without kids, once you look past the gender of particular participants.

Paraphrasing. > There’s a new kind of coding I call “hype coding”, where you fully give in to the hype, embrace exponentials, and forget that the product even exists.

They also launch every 2-3 days. They’ve just had so much opportunity to perfect that.

Still an odd choice. It is what it is. It’s a fairly risky mission and they chose to go ahead with that. Yet they avert their eyes, like a child watching a scary scene in a movie. Like it’s somehow ok to actually risk lives of four people,

How could it possibly work like that? Isn't the detection based on lightning radio emissions?

I’m seeing this more and more, where people build this artificial wall you supposedly need to climb to try agentic coding. That’s not the right way to start at all. You should start with a fresh .claude, empty AGENTS.md, zero skills and MCP

Or in general, a way to digitally sign a tamper-free video recoding made with a camera from a reputable manufacturer. Maybe a regular iPhone already has enough integrity checks and security contexts to achieve this.

You always give 30% to Valve and their interests so far are aligned. Everything that's possible within the Steam ecosystem is available outside of it. Maybe things will change in the future, but I doubt we could be getting a better dea

They'll do the same thing we do in software development - proper sandboxing, context curation, reviews on high impact actions. I presume real customer service is really expensive, as I've seen many companies prefer to just quickly

Most support agents lack... well, agency. If you connect a chatbot to an FAQ, that's exactly what you get. Just another instance of enterprise software being badly designed, badly written etc. It doesn't mean that it's actual
