Key point: >I've also sometimes let AI do quite heavy lifting; for example, the frontend for my latest weekend project, SquadUtils, was done almost entirely by Claude. It's important to note, though, that I was always able to r

I can't zoom in to your website on my phone without an email subscription prompt blocking the screen that I can't easily close, and each new zoom in or out repeats it. Also, unless I'm missing something, the app is called Tab

It refers to a player accused of cheating against Magnus Carlsen, with widespread speculation that the cheating might've been done using an anal vibrator. (There's zero evidence it actually was an anal device; no one knows how he

A lot of software developers have an initial bad experience and assume it's terrible and give up on it. I feel bad for people who haven't yet experienced how useful these models are for programming. Some also just prefer manually

AI coding overall still seems to be underrated by the average developer. They try to add a new feature or change some behavior in a large existing codebase and it does something dumb and they write it off as a waste of time for that use cas

For me it's more like useful 70% of the time horrible 30% of the time. Overall a big boon but can be frustrating.

Because on net it often saves tons and tons of time and effort if you know how to use it. Luddism is a strange philosophy for a software engineer.

I think it's acceptable if they have good reason to believe the gene editing isn't going to lead to a trait that harms the animal. I think fluffier fur isn't a big deal. And I say this as a vegetarian and a huge supporter of

It will unfortunately undoubtedly be used for mass automation of scams but text AI (and pre-AI automation) have been used for that for many years as well. Doesn't really make sense to say "ok we should allow all forms of AI beside

Opposite of a hot take; this is the near-consensus position in the AI field.

This is one of the most investigated issues in American legal history. There was absolutely no indication of fraud. You've fallen for a conspiracy theory. It's now Pizzagate-tier. (I still argue with Pizzagate adherents on a month

I think I and most vegans also wouldn't eat it. It has nothing to do with rudeness or even the specific ethics of that situation or something. Just I wouldn't be able to physically stomach it. I would feel guilty but I wouldn&#x27

There are plenty of great moral arguments for why animals (or humans) shouldn't be eaten unless they died of purely natural causes. Factory farming is just the strongest to argue against and the main source of both suffering and death,

What's wrong with indicting nature? Male animals regularly rape female animals. We shouldn't hold animals morally culpable, as they aren't moral agents, but humans are moral agents. There is no human act in this world for whi

I find communist analysis tiresome, especially when in this case the populist right under Trump seems to be motivated in part by anti-free market ideas. The communist kneejerk reaction to every single situation is "this can be explaine

Trump refusing to accept the 2020 election results should've been the line for many voters, but sadly it wasn't. And the potential crimes he and some of his allies may have committed while trying to overturn it will now never be p

I think capitalization will slowly go by the wayside in most media, but one hill I'll always die on is punctuation. "i'll go" vs. "ill go"... the latter is just too crude. Many gen Z/alpha do omit it, thou

The war is already over. I 100% agree lowercase in longform essays is ridiculous, but I think for everything aside from essays, articles, papers, long emails, and some percentage of multi-paragraph site comments, lowercase is absolutely goi

I and everyone I know turns it off. On many platforms and in many cultures, capitalization often implies Solemness or even rudeness in 1-on-1 conversations, and otherwise comes across as being out of touch in other kinds of communication.

Most people on my feed do. It's true that professionals, executives, and public intellectuals generally don't use lowercase and that Sam is trying to normalize that, but my main point was that the medium matters. Lowercase looks r

That's definitely the downside in the trade-off, yeah. If you're going to hoard you better also protect or you just get the worst of all worlds. Still, I am generally hopeful about our intelligence agencies' ability to preven

I might be a contrarian, but I think it makes sense for the NSA to hoard 0-days. They should disclose only after they burn them.

It's funny how the politicization of science in Nazi Germany led to things like "Aryan physics" to counter the "Jewish physics" of Einstein's relativity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuts

It's just the cost of doing business. Sam Altman isn't Trump's underboss. In this scenario that would be David Sacks or Elon Musk or something.
