Their cultural decline seems to have definitely accelerated recently. Even 10-15 years ago it seemed like there was so much more British influence in the media, a lot more films and television set in Britain. It seems like the London Olympi

Yeah in comparison OSX Mountain Lion or Windows 8 look basically the same as the modern desktop OSes, while mobile releases from that era look totally different. I suppose it had only been 5 years since the release of the iPhone so there wa

I got 19x. When they say "curious about" it's always a good sign that it's AI, same with X not Y construction, saying "genuinely", saying things like "absolutely slaps" and other millennial slang, bei

Claude Code has added too much of this and it's got me using --dangerously-skip-permissions all the time. Previously it was fine but now it needs to get permission each time to perform finds, do anything if the path contains a \ (which

The difference is that everyone knows that it’s faster and to take the car but you get to exercise your muscles. But imagine it was 1920 when cars were still up for debate and the post was “why I ride my horse to work”. It’s still a common

I think it’s a bad idea for about the same reasons, but that’s assuming we’re implementing it right now in the current economy. If automation means that in the future there’s not much for all these people to do that creates value then it ma

They don't get killed adjacent to the farm, the abattoir is usually far away from it, you put them on a truck to send them there. They wouldn't care about being a slave from birth, they don't have the concept. A cow is happy

Let in lots of immigrants who can live like the homeless? I don't think that would help their economy.

I tested 5.4 out and I don't think it's actually any better in this regard, it's still using odd words, and it has this very annoying habit of saying "the issue was caused by [correct solution], not [thing that I never s

The weird phrasing was my biggest gripe with 5.3 so I'm glad they've fixed that up. It couldn't say anything without a heap of impenetrable jargon and it was obsessed with the word "drive". Nothing could cause anyth

Describing it in absolute terms doesn't mean that much - 800 points is only a 1.66% drop, not much of a tumble. Back in 2009 it would've been 12%+ which would've been a lot scarier.

They're too credulous when reading search results. There are a lot of instances where using search will actually make them perform worse because they'll believe any believable sounding nonsense.

"Hollywood is over" is an antisemitic canard? Also I really doubt that it's fake, there's been an absolute ton of Seedance videos released, it's not like Bytedance is faking them all with complex workflows. And it&#

I'm 27 and the UI looks so modern for something from the year after I was born - Windows 98 was at the same time but the MacOS interface has changed a lot less than Windows has.

And you could say that the difference is that high-level languages are deterministically transformed down, but in practice the compiler is so complex you'd have no idea what it's doing and most people don't look at the machin

Crazy to have a company like this with perhaps the most revolutionary product in the last 20 years decide that they want to pivot to porn and ads. Whose idea is this? They're supposed to be the superintelligence company. There's n

There are a lot of people who still say that coding agents don't work at all, it's all a NFT-style fad or scam pushed mainly by bad-faith hucksters looking to get a quick buck, etc, so it's refreshing to read something arguin

Would it make more sense to instead train a model and tokenise the syntax of languages differently so that white space isn’t counted, keywords are all a single token each and so on?
