"It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it." Agent Smith, _The Matrix_

Nine rhetorical uses of the word "honest" (and one used as descriptor for the network). Sloppy writing.

You wouldn't need AI for this; deterministic programming would be enough (and scads cheaper).

Same here. The power upgrade going to Fable in particular is quite impressive.

Using the built-in Screen Time tools, yes. Qustodio works pretty well though as an add-on product. Not perfect UX, not perfect functionality, but it's the best I've found.

Agreed, _Modern C++ Design_ is probably the programming book I've gotten the most out of in my career.

An easy way around the API token thing is to put it in a file and point the model at the file. I saw what you were seeing when I provided credentials directly, but haven't had any problems with it since using the indirect method.

This effect is certainly real, likely even the default, but it's not inevitable. I had great results using AI to help my son study for his final exams in chemistry and math. We went through the review guide the teacher provided, he di

Is it capturing and selling user data? Avast would certainly know.

Opus 4.7 in Claude Code. I've used GPT-5.5 in Codex and it's good also, but I have a pretty developed workflow in Claude Code so it's hard to tell if GPT-5.5 is actually rougher or if it just doesn't have the same tooli

One of those conditionals is a pretty huge assumption.

vi would be much easier to rewrite in Rust.

Clearly you are not a C++ programmer. :)

That was the first thing that jumped out at me also...

Eventually they will all die, and then the upcoming Gen-Z and -Alpha will save the world with their well-documented refined tastes for artisanal, purely human short-form video slop.

GPT 4.1? Why not a 5-class model?

"Other lawful business purposes" sounds awfully close to "all lawful use".

There was an article yesterday where people were complaining about "AI smell", the author showed up in comments to state clearly and unequivocally that he didn't use AI to write it, and people wouldn't believe him. AI di

I was surprised to see no reference to ice-9 from Kurt Vonnegut's _Cat's Cradle_...

I manage teams and a standup with 20+ attendees sounds like hell to me. We keep standups to team scope and 10 minutes long (20 minutes in the case of our largest team, but it almost never goes the full time). We have some larger meetings t

I mean, I'm sure you're right, but it would seem like the organizers were teeing themselves up for an inevitable "gotcha" moment, given that it is pretty easy for third parties to do exactly what was done here. Paying 1

It seems like it would have been so easy for them to test programs against the failure case in the same way @yuvadm did. Just make it part of the competition rules that if an application solves the problem with quantum calls replaced with

I didn’t downvote, but if I were to it would be due to the dismissive phrase “slop machine” rather than the message, which I agree with.

I will use this when I need to explain the Chaotic Neutral alignment to my D+D players in the future. Thanks!

The author just responded to say that the article is not an LLM product.

Agreed, and sorry for the snarky tone in my reply. The $100 / month plan is what I use at home and it has always been more than sufficient for something like what you describe. It does sound like maybe you have MCPs or skills that mi

What level of subscription are you on? If you're complaining about running out of tokens but are happy to pay "whatever" for it, it should be Max 20x, yes? And one prompt drained all your tokens for the day on Max 20x?
