Subscriptions are not a contract of payment. Your bank pre-authorizes these payments, simply ask them to remove pre-authorization. If they can't do that, then the bank is spending your money without your consent.

You haven't signed any agreement or opened any lines of credit - I would be amazed if there was any jurisdiction in the entire world where this would affect your credit.

bullshit - canceling the authorization will have no affect on your account at all, the subscription will just end.

I've always been a bit embarrassed by the extent of my self-conciousness, but recently I'm starting to think of it as more of a virtue than a hindrance.

They are not allowed in any school I've been to, especially during class.

My understanding is that these are already banned in most schools and the practical difference between enforcing this at a state or national basis is basically nonexistent vs simple local enforcement.

Given that it is the general consensus that a step function occurred with Opus 4.5/4.6 only 3 months ago - it seems like an insane omission.

No country will be truly coal-free until they are a net energy exporter and they do not import any goods that use coal-based energy in their supply chain. Europe has de-industrialized which means it has effectively exported its coal burden.

We are still in early days and I'm sure this isn't the best way to approach this but here is what I do. 1. Agent context with platform/system idiosyncrasies, how to access tools, this is actually kept pretty minimal - and a l

Build a redteam into your feedback mechanism. Seriously. You've identified the problem and even solved it. Now automate it.

You have a fair perspective and I'm not going to try to move you from it. You have my exact opinion as of 3 months ago. I will just suggest you earnestly try it yourself.

Honestly people are in such a weird place with this shit. I'm not saying don't read the fucking code - but I managed to get my setup to write 100k lines of indistinguishable SWE code in a week or so. The main limitation was my rea

The same is true with human engineers - isn't this just what engineering is?

I don't know if you deliberately cut-off the full point, but for the benefit of those with tired eyes I said 'feedback mechanisms', i.e. feedback in the control system sense.

It's starting to become obvious that if you can't effectively use AI to build systems it is a skill issue. At the moment it is a mysterious, occasionally fickle, tool - but if you provide the correct feedback mechanisms and provid

There is a grotesquely pulsing layer of overconfident dumbasses in business (and society in general) and this is the language they speak. My job at any company, as far as I can see it, is to make sure my local orbit is cleared of these wack

This is also a pharmacological arms race. Some research is showing that statins reduce serum GLP-1 levels ( https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(23)... ).

'Calculating' an integral, is usually done by applying a series of sort of abstract mathematical tricks. There is usually no deeper meaning applied to the solving. If you have profound intuition you can guess the solution to an in
