Interesting to note how similar this seems to what happened with Benj Edwards at Ars Technica. AI was used to extract or summarize information, and quotes found in the summary were then used as source material for the final writing and neve

Microwaves are for heating, ovens are for cooking. Obviously it’s possible to live on only microwaved food but it sounds pretty miserable.

This would make sense to me as an explanation when it only outputs code. (And I think it explains why code often ends up subtly mangled when moved in a refactoring, where a human would copy paste, the agent instead has to ”retype” it and of

That’s an interesting approach, but what do you learn from it that is applicable to the next task? Do you find that this eventually boils down to heuristics that generalize to any task? It sounds like it would only work because you already

I also expected hardware to be involved. But in the context of a list of tutorials on how to use this live coding tool the title makes sense though.

For the record, now it has changed again, to ’Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns’, which is even more milquetoast. Parent and another comment reacting to this change have also been (artificially, I must assume) sunk from top

I had been using both, ChatGPT mostly for chats and Claude mostly for code. Now I cancelled the ChatGPT subscription and turned on extra usage in Claude instead.

I had been considering ditching everyday ChatGPT use in favor of Claude anyway, but hadn’t gotten around to it mostly out of habit. Now I have a good reason to do it.
