I’m very confused. This is a web page with an embedded single-page PDF (!?) that gives zero details about how the project would work, be funded, or even look like. What is there to even discuss? Nothing about this seems very “human centered

I’d say you are wrong about the “anti-AI sentiment”. It’s possible to recognize the tool works well in general and also objectively observe as it adds contradictory features and evolves behavior in ways to encourage token waste. Claude Cod

The US government isn’t supposed to be allowed to constrain speech, but they do have the power to constrain commerce, and they can ban the sale of AI services and AI-capable hardware if they choose.

It’s because it matches the patterns they are trained to follow. They don’t understand the code. They can’t reason about the actual logic flow. They can only work with patterns.

Markets sell actual products. These are gambling apps.

Why would prediction markets do a better job of predicting hurricanes than, say, meteorologists, weather stations, and satellite information? All evidence I’ve seen shows mainstream prediction markets devolve quickly into gambling and relat

If prices get cheaper all the time, there would be no way for anyone to ever borrow money. Tech products like phones used to get cheaper because 1) they start out at a wild markup; 2) they have intense competition by rivals to build the lat

Greenspan actively advocated for more use of ARM mortgages for personal home buying, while in a position to have the best access to data and analysis on the growing risk of those mortgages. Whereas mere common sense and a knowledge of econo

It will never stop amusing me that an expired ID is invalid for verification. How does that negate my identity? Particularly my age.

What programming languages try to guess line endings? Or are even aware of them?

I’ve yet to live anywhere where the available mainstream ISPs were willing or able to provide IPv6 service. I’d be happy to use it, if I were able. I also have built cloud infrastructure for multiple SaaS providers with tens of thousands of

What does this have to do with robots? What does a local government failure to provide cycling infrastructure have to do with private businesses co-opting public shared resources?

There’s “obvious value” in lots of things that aren’t forced on us and that aren’t pretended to be something everyone is required to learn and use before sticking to their existing toolset or their preferred methods for getting things done.

Wow, it’s wild that you think you have a right to the attention of strangers with whom you have no business. How is it rude to wish to go about one’s day unbothered?

When the agent couldn't solve my problem, it told me to mail a physical letter describing my issue to an address on 5th Ave in NYC. Honestly, this sounds like the hallucination of an LLM with no further options availa

There are all sorts of reasons people emigrate. It varies based on the jobs they’re doing, where they’re from, and where they’re going. And whatever their intentions, things change. And, why must there be a universal answer for everyone?
