I noticed that as well and it oddly made me sit for a minute to think about it. I ended up deciding that it landed a bit more 'real' and unfiltered. Could be interpreted many ways. Nobody knows the actual why but (possibly) Jac

Interesting to me that Opus 4.6 was described as forward looking. I haven't *really* paid attention, but after using 4.5 heavily for a month, the first greenfield project I gave Opus 4.6 resulted in it doing a web search for latest an

I agree with the replies so far in that there isn't a major risk of the mushrooms spreading. That said, it's not completely risk free and I think it's important for folks who decide to get into the hobby at least take a mom

Just a side note. I started growing mushrooms a couple of years ago. Very interesting and fulfilling hobby, they are incredibly interesting critters. Takes a little bit of dedication to get started but once you start seeing them fruit and

I don’t know enough about either but if their approach was to make it substantially more opinionated, which is likely in the case of an org that’s subject to audits, it would make sense to keep it separate.

I worked at an EDI company in the mid 90s. X.25 was the wild west. We had a router set up on it that would happily stand up a ppp session to anyone that knew the node name. No password, right on the core network lol.

Sometimes it helps to also provide a drawio file that has the elements you wan't (eg. cloud service icons or whatever), but you just feed it the content you want diagrammed and let it eat. Even if it's not completely correct, it u

It's a great point that I think the article also touches on. Bodies are of many shapes, so the sizing question is as much about, possibly more about, shape as it is mapping any particular dimension to a scale.

I wonder if understanding a particular brand's sizing drives up repeat purchases.

One very specific and limited example, when asked to build something 4.6 seems to do more web searches in the domain to gather latest best practices for various components/features before planning/implementing.

I ran into this from the other direction. I built a small SRE agent for my cloud infra and just kind of walked into hand-rolling some of the tools rather than using what exists today. I provided an edit_file tool that felt like it was of
