Recognizing that certain mutations very blatantly reduce a person's quality of life and making it possible to revert those mutations does not require treating the people who have not had those mutations reverted as lesser. Thinking of

I disagree, if you can't get seats with your friends in a concert, you might just not go because the social aspect is part of the experience, but if you can't get neighboring seats on a plane, you'd (or at least I would) just

Powerpoint will continue to persist because other people need to be able to edit your slide deck without understanding your HTML. My employer blocks office plugins, so I can't try Claude for PowerPoint, but sometimes I get Claude to ge

How is a buyer supposed to trust that the scalper won't just run away with the money? And conversely, how is the scalper supposed to trust that buyers aren't just feigning interest and will back out at the last minute? Even escrow

Most flights are available at high frequencies (on the order of days, weeks) compared to concerts (once a year or so). You also don't care as much about sitting together on a plane.

Alternatively only allow transfers within a very short period of the event. Anyone with a legitimate reason (giving to a friend etc) can work it out even on the day of the event. But scalpers have to take on a big risk buying up the good se

Yes, the point is to keep picking the option that's better on the things important to you. Blind loyalty is why the current guys are acting with such impunity.

Really, the requirements are for the robot to move in predictable ways (if something looks like an arm, it ought to move like an arm, etc), and to have enough strength to be useful for difficult/tiring tasks while somehow also not bein

I don't think "both sides" works very well when one side has been supporting the murder of citizens for exercising their free speech, calling for denaturalization of citizens for expressing the wrong opinions or being from th

I have this peeve too, but tbh it feels like most people make this mistake, and usually it is easy enough to guess what was intended.

Yeah, I think if you're going to use LLMs, the least you can do is distill what you want to say to the minimum necessary text to convey your point accurately.

I think you still need software brain, because ultimately, this stuff still has limitations driven by software constraints, and having the AI try to explain it to them doesn't necessarily help. I think we all have had experiences with

I setup the LiveSync plugin in an LXC on one of my proxmox servers, since I was going to have to host the MCP server too (so Claude could read from it). It doesn't require iCloud/GDrive, I just exposed the corresponding port throu

Using vibe coding for frequent PRs seems insanely reckless. In my scientific computing environment, the majority of my vibe coded output goes to one-off scripts, stuff that is not worth committing (correcting outputs, one-off visualizations

I recently setup Obsidian thinking of it as an easy note taking system with self-hosted sync that Claude can read from. I'm still building the habit for using it instead of scattering notes in text documents or self-DMs on various plat

I think we've pulled way too much towards "software must be a constantly maintained, living item, and users should update often", thus the recklessness with dependencies. This has also exacerbated the other aspects of depende

I'm into niche VTubers and other anime stuff. Twitter is pretty much the primary platform for keeping up with Vtubers (besides wherever they stream). The other platforms don't let you interact with or keep up with the vtubers dire

Crazy, as bad of a person as I think Altman is, he isn't even the worst AI CEO. But even the worst of them doesn't deserve this.

I interpreted their "too dangerous to release" comment as a statement about the current situation. If the model is truly as capable as they say, and the security issues so numerous, it makes sense to hold out until the biggest tar

In one case "we" is an imaginary humanity as a whole acting to fulfill a grand species defining mission, in the other case "we" is the real, decadent, ignorant and divided population of some countries.
