> the sole intent of letting untrained secretarial staff use a desktop computer. I dont like this "skill issue" rhetoric. The barrier of entry being lower is good for everyone, if you dont directly use simple tools, then you wi

Honestly i kinda like the aesthetic of cyberanarchism, but its not for me. It erodes trust

I dont like it either but its not malicious. The LLM isnt accessing your homeserver, its accessing corporate information. Your employer can order you to be reckless with their information, thats not malicious, its not your information. You

But the question isnt really why claude is electron based. Its that if, for some reason, it had to be native on 3 platforms, could a swarm of agents make and maintain the 3 aps while all the humans did was make the spec and tests? With your

Just seems like transparency. I agree that we should also judge them based on the frequency of these incidents and amwhether they provide a path to non-repeatability, but i wouldnt criticize them for the transparency per se

In my experience, the gist of it does reach management when its an existing vendor. Especially if management is tech literate Becuase management wants to know why the graphs all went to zero, and the engineers have nothing else to do but re

Thats actively malicious. I understand not going out of your way to catch the LLMs' bugs so as to show the folly of the initiative, but actively sabotaging it is legitimately dangerous behavior. Its acting in bad faith. And i say this

Its a really good sign that this worked out at all. And the takeaways are enlightening - EU domain registrars might have some bullshit under the hood making the same TLDs more expensive. Might need to investigate - eu needs its own mobile a

Those third world provinces have the potential to be improved up to the standard, especially when you have first world provinces to draw talent/knowledge from. Having the people is important, the IS needed immigrants to have people, ch

Thats a bit naive. Anthropic makes way more money if they gey you to use past your plans limit and wonder if you should get the next tier or switch to tokens

For subscription isers, anthropic makes mkre money if you hit your usage limit and wonder idlf the next plan, or switching to tokens would be better. Especially given the FOMO you probably have from all these posts talking about peoples pro

> What's Anthropic's optimization target??? Getting you the right answer as fast as possible! That is a generous interpretation. Mighr be correct. But they dont make as much money if you quickly get the right answer. They make

True. This is charlie munger's "show me the incentives and i'll show you the outcomes" at play I would like more apps to be optimized like figma. I wonder what how incentives can be realligned to get companies to do that

I cant quite tell if the tests that passed were sqlites own famously thorough test suite, or your own. If its sqlites suite then its great the models managed to get there, but one issue (without trying to be too pessimistic) is that the mod

> but modern computers are insanely fast, and browsers, insanely optimized I think these facts have been used as excuses to shit up the app layer with slow mal-optimized js code. An example of a recent high performance app is figma, whic

Advertisement commoditizes attention, which incentivizes tech companies to exploit and manipulate people to get their attention. Thats unacceptable. The proposal was to get rid of ads online to combat that. Its a bit drastic, but the logic

The point of capitalism is that it incentivizes behavior at a large scale through the allocation of capital. That behavior could be bad or good. The way to make sure that behavior isnt bad is to regulate the economy to ban it. Not to scold

Get off it mate. The ZIRP was the biggest factor. The white mans burden is a fantasy

Give them a break. People want to live a good life. We as a society shouldnt incentivize bad behavior with capital

And when freedoms are being infringed, regulations need to be brought in. Hence banning ads online

My counter argument is that thay manual training, while beneficial, wont lead to the scaling factors being thrown around. It wont lead to the single person unicorn that keeps being talked about excitedly. For that, the model needs to learn

This is really interesting. The platform's incentive in engineered more towards finding you a match than to keeping you looking I guess this is still corruptable. The paltform could make more money by getting you matches thay look good

See thats the thing. A human is slower but doesnt need all this handholding. The idea of AI being able to "code" is that it is able to do all this planning and architectural work. It cant. But its sold as though it is. Thats where
