One of the reasons why I liked The Good Place so much was because they did playful treatments on various philosophical points, without spoon feeding a solution.

1. Being too good in an organization makes you a threat to those above you. 2. When an organization must downsize, you want to make sure once the dust settles that no one under you is able to take your job. 3. These decisions are political,

Another annoying one is lazy and simplistic morality, which just ruins the story. Arcane had huge potential, great pacing, interesting characters, but failed on that front.

While this is true, there is a limit where they're just painfully slow. Vanishing Point and 2001 come to mind.

That's a pretty harsh and uninformed take. Russia operates by capturing foreign governments and making their leaders beholden to Russia's interests. When it succeeds, it happens regardless of what the populace actually wants. They

Each bloc is handling Trump in their own way according to their needs and circumstances. This isn't a pissing contest, and public perception of them "folding" or not is largely irrelevant (which is why we have actual experts

Carney's speech yesterday was masterful: Another prominent justification for U.S. tariffs has been their claim that, since the United States runs, quote, a 'trade deficit' with Canada, we were 'ripping them off.' Al

Trump is and always has been a one-trick-pony: Shock and awe with a ridiculously over-the-top threat to shake his opponent and anchor the discussion high, then "accept" a deal that's better than any that could have been achie

Look at the past behaviors of the parties involved. History doesn't occur in a vacuum.

Microservices are just another "cache" level in the end. They can make sense in the right situations, but you need to make your architecture deliberate in order to reap its advantages. Idempotent services are an easy win, and also

Yes, but then there's a trap lurking nearby: As different versions of the same function proliferate, it muddies the waters, because you now have multiple parts of your system calling a similar-but-not-quite-the-same function. Your refa

For the same reason you change or replace any function in a program: The situation has changed.

This would presuppose only a single new version being "in-flight". But a microservice change often bleeds into another microservice having to change. Multiply this by all the agents working on the product, and you get a very compl

This post is glossing over most of the nuance in EU law. The AI system must function merely as a tool or instrument (like a camera or Photoshop) guided by the human, rather than acting as the creator itself. The line may get a bit fuzzy cas

Hundreds of bots modifying thousands of microservices may sound good on the surface, but all those thousands of microservices make up an architecture and a product. Agents aren't very good at carrying the entire model in their context,

I propose using the internet the way it was designed: Open and readable by everything (including bots). Scraping is a legal issue. There is no technical prevention mechanism that isn't theater.

As soon as you need to put a "decode" button for accessibility functions to work, you're effectively posting the key along with the cipher. It's self-defeating because any tool that supports screen readers will also supp

When you look at their live demo ( https://shieldfont.org/demo/ ), it says: If you use a screen reader, custom font, or translator, please uncover the text before reading. They also actively block copying the text, telli

It's pretty silly to call it cheating. If the information is there, it's likely going to use it. "Cheating" is just a human value put on top to try to force an LLM to adhere to your wants. This makes no sense to a proces

For me it's very handy to have agent-specific instructions. Each harness does it differently and with differing levels of annoyance: - .cursor/rules - CLAUDE.md - .github/copilot-instructions.md - .aider.conf.yml - .gemini&#x

I put a reference to AGENTS.md in the CLAUDE.md file, and then put Claude specific stuff (mainly info about hooks and scripts) after that. https://github.com/kstenerud/yoloai/blob/main/CLAUDE.md

For me it's always been the opposite: Stuck with so many people around, always talking, always things going on and draining me. No way to focus. Remote work was a godsend. I started working remote in 2015 and never looked back.

Iran's goal is to become the superpower of the middle east. This has always involved getting the bomb, but now with Trump's gift of a war he can't win, they'll also take control of the strait of Hormuz. If you observe th

YoloAI is an AI sandbox system to contain LLMs (or any program really) at different levels of security depending on your threat model. I use it for all of my agentic work, primarily because I can run it with all permissions enabled (so it d

Why aren't any smart watches incorporating e-paper displays? Seems like a perfect tech to use there, especially now that newer display tech allows pretty quick refresh rates.

The rule I set for linting when an LLM is writing code is: Either you adhere to the rules, or you mark an exception with a valid reason. https://github.com/kstenerud/yoloai/blob/main/docs/contribut..
