I had the displeasure of interacting with that support agent earlier today and was very surprised. It's just as good as the one my ISP has. We're meant to trust Anthropic enough to replace all of our engineers by their model for w

How many people voted for that "one individual causing chaos" again? 70 million? He's also backed by billionaires and an administration that seems to be just as unhinged. It's not one person causing chaos, it's a wh

The most an average person in the west knows about Takaichi is that she "said" Japan would go to war with China for Taiwan. That's of course not true, but the person you're replying to also thinks Spain is on Iran's

We do need "hard effortful careful work" to keep planes flying, electrical grids running and medical devices safe. It's very relevant but very undervalued by our current economy.

You can usually tell these people apart though, they sound empathetic. The one in the story doesn't. Most of these bureaucrats have more power than what they want to let us think, but that means taking the risk of being told off for ha

Or you could just fund the NOAA instead of making up reasons for more markets.

You're right that my quote was misleading, I overlooked "the weird part" in the post because it didn't seem new to me either. Here's the section in the original post that covers it: https://dnhkng.github.

If you're adding a model to do the "routing" you're basically putting learned backward connections and you end up with a RNN

You may be implying it but you also need to make sure this new housing goes into the long term rental market, instead of being secondary residences or airbnbs. I've seen it happen first hand in my home town. That may not be a problem f

I can't find the French competition, ironic given that the front page of ukroc is full of French gov officials... Could you share the name if you have it?

People are emigrating to the U.S because of decades of soft power and propaganda, and mostly to make money to send to their families or head back after a couple years. On all the metrics that actually matter to quality of life (ie. not sqm

Why are you trying to change the meaning of their comment?

If LLMs were a public good released by non profit entities, that could make sense, maybe. Turns out spewing illegal and immoral shit is not good for the PR of most for-profit businesses.

You don't need to convince me that this is hell, in particular with all the managers who have never written a single line of code being now convinced that programming is completely solved.

Look at you, complaining about your famously on schedule Japanese trains! ;) Over here in France a train is considered on time if it has up to a 15mn delay. We can ask for a very partial refund only if it has at least 30mn of delay, and we

Thanks for sharing, it's indeed a great way to quickly see what a language has to offer. From what I understand, the main innovation of Lobster here is that `class Foo` is a boxed type, while `struct Bar` will be inlined. I'm not

I agree with all of this, but that's assuming we've reached a plateau. Maybe Claude 6.3 will be able to churn through 10M lines of Java and Cobol, tidy it and convert it to Rust. Or maybe not, but so far the scaling laws are holdi

Well they will train on my Claude Code sessions for a start. I spend a lot of time asking it to remove unnecessary code that was produced, I'm not the only one.

What is great about them is the constraints they impose on the UI designer. I spend so much time finding actions in apps like Zed, Obsidian or Slack because menus and rows of buttons are not cool anymore. I'd really want explicit UIs f

Is it still true with llms being so good at interpreting it? I just tried all the examples on the home page, it works perfectly. In the past couple months I've moved almost entirely back to the terminal because I can just ask my coding

As a technical person, how does one find a non-technical business partner? ;) I know about Entrepreneur First, but that's not for bootstrapping and has a too much of the unicorn vibe for me. The obvious is of course luck through one&#x
