I could write a giant response to this with dozens of quotes from him and others and various sources but you would just say it's all lies/posturing, so it would not be a good use of my time. I will say that him becoming one of the

I'm consistently amused by the fact that there's still this weird faction of populists on even tech-oriented sites like HN and /r/programming and lobste.rs and Mastodon who have this almost antivax-level stance on AI. I&

Paul Graham, founder of the website we're on, still says he likes and trusts him. He just was annoyed he was constantly distracted by AI stuff when he was supposed to be running YC as president (which bears no resemblance to any curre

Is there a more benign explanation for these things? Altman is undeniably famously cagey and political but despite most of the tech and non-tech worlds at this point seeing him as some kind of con artist, I still kind of want to try to beli

I am a beginner to Rust but I've coded with gevent in Python for many years and later moved to Go. Goroutines and gevent greenlets work seamlessly with synchronous code, with no headache. I know there've been tons of blog posts an

The attribution is likely incorrect. People have been trying to accuse him for many years, and the evidence is not very strong. This article is the strongest yet, but still commits many stylometric fallacies, and other kinds.

A synthesis here is to include a "Written by Claude/GPT/whatever" at the bottom but still make it read non-slopfully.

I'm not opposed to LLM-generated code at all, but the such obviously LLM-written README is annoying. The style is so easy to spot. At least try to figure out how to prompt it to not write so obviously like an LLM. (And no, I'm no

I detest the "tech right" very deeply. But most tech execs and employees voted for the Democratic candidate in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Hatred should be directed at the actual people involved. The Andreessens of the world. I see no e

I agree that was/is an absolutely horrible feature (and it took me way too long to realize I could/should turn it off) and always should've been opt-in, but the current version is honestly quite nice to use. I would not have

I was iffy on it at first but they released an update a week or two ago to make it much more "bring-your-own-coding-agent"-driven, where they facilitate you having lots of tabs with Codex and Claude Code rather than trying to shov

The license is the license. I don't know what you expect. I think, to be a good sport, they ought to mention in an About page that they're forked from Alacritty, with a clear link and thank you/appreciation note for the found

I have like 15 concurrent sessions I leave up for weeks, 50% Codex 50% Claude Code, even though I know they work better with fresh context. Then again I also always have least 200 browser tabs up. I probably just have a mental illness.

Makes sense

Can you elaborate? I want a maximalist setup. I like that CC and Codex are maximalist. If I install Pi, I am going to end up using oh-my-pi and installing a trillion plugins to get a Claude Code-like experience (or better/more feature-

He's not, he made Flask/Click/Jinja/lots of other open source projects. (That said, he possibly is the first person to break this pattern, yes...) https://x.com/mitsuhiko/status/2041855748481695

Unfortunately there are like a billion competitors to this right now (including Playwright MCP, Playwright CLI, the new baked-in Playwright feature in Codex /experimental, Claude Code for Chrome...) and I can never quite decide if or w

It's insufferable, yes. Even though I'm a left-liberal, it feels foreign to me. Twitter is worse at the limit (endless neo-Nazis and Maoists) but at least I feel some diversity while I'm there. Bluesky is so uniform in the an

I used to feel like you do, but I don't agree. I would just say it is not consistent. For a given codebase and given goal, sometimes Claude will be the more sensible, creative, thoughtful planner and sometimes Codex will be, sometimes

by meowface 7mo ago
Correct, this is the way. A year or two ago lots of people were saying to do the opposite, but at least now and probably also even then, this is better. Claude is a more sensible and holistic designer, planner, debater, and idea generator.

This applies to basically every military and company in every country in all of human history. Nearly every single other country tries to spy on every single other country, including on the US. That's just how these things go.

Giving up one's privacy and anonymity will solve nothing. Bots will buy stolen IDs and use those anyway, as well.
148.
by meowface 8mo ago
I don't understand how such a thing could be possible. Privacy is inherently gone, even if the third party doesn't learn your real name.

That's true. It's probably at least 50% the latter. And I don't really blame them.

Adults are nearly as susceptible to such addiction. If this is the goal then the actual legislation should be to prohibit social media companies from doing it to anyone. (I think this would be government overreach and a possible first amend
