Not a criticism, but why would I use this instead of locking down my Claude using the allow/deny permissions list? "permissions": { "allow": [ "Bash(npm run lint)", "Bash(npm run

How useful is spatial data over time, does it decay or age much? Is the geographical data more useful, or are buildings and other structures more important? Genuinely don't know much in this space.

Agreed, I have been trying to get back into blogging on my site. I found LLMs good for spitting out a structure for my posts but if I ask it to write for me I end up just fixing or correcting it and then lose motivation and never finish the

Anecdotal but I find people in the tech world hostile to ex or serving military, at least in the UK. It might just be the liberal bubble of London, but the sentiment I saw with some colleagues was. - "Why would I want to serve, I am no

When Agentic browsers become the norm, surely we will go back to the days of super plain HTML pages?

Nice story, I don't personally agree with your choices but you are now back on the straight and narrow, big kudos to you and your wife.

Always thought it would be cool to make an RTS or simple city builder game in the browser. Would you recommend this for hacking around or not?

That's cool, I just tested it out and it is fast but unfortunately its accuracy is not great.

LLMs cannot think, they just guess with some magic with the help of things like softmax ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softmax_function ), that makes it seem intelligent. We aren't enslaved or at any risk just yet

Fair play to the chap, it was refreshing to read a scan of a letter typed from a typewriter. <joke> I just hope he doesn't start mailing packages to people in the tech industry in the next few years.</joke>

Yes as BenjiWiebe said. I was meaning more removing your reliance on Google in your life for search, photos, entertainment. You can start small with Duckduckgo etc.

The paranoia is completely warranted, but there is a solution. Just root your Android phone and put a custom ROM like LineageOS etc If you want a stretch goal try and de-Google yourself, I have tried but failed twice now.

Strong disagree. How many times have you written a boring CRUD endpoint that returns a list of results? Half the stuff I lose time on is the boring boilerplate code (despite using frameworks). Now I can focus on the fun stuff like determini

This had to happen, for many reasons: - Its a throw thing at the wall and see what sticks situation - LLMs will improve* - Using LLMs in an agentic way will improve (git worktrees, sliced PRs, spec driven steps) So what happened here is a m

AI has always been dangerous, but not existentially dangerous. Mythos is dangerous but it's not going to Skynet us. Just the same as the military drone using some sort of OpenCV library and target prioritisation loop isn't going t

Congrats, its a small step in the right direction. The UK it seems has dropped the ball on the whole training and building models part, although we are punching up in other areas now. We really need to get our own equivalent to Mistral, and

I am a Java dev and Spring user for about 10 years now. If you want to learn how Spring framework and Spring boot works, the best thing to do is build your own library and then learn to add it to a new spring boot service. https:/&#x2

As a senior dev I would say there is a risk of muscle memory atrophy, but the learning opportunities outweigh the risk. Today I learned about a more elegant helper method in Apache Commons' StringUtils library for Java. The function wa

I would recommend you consider a Claude code hook, you could then specify a particular part of the agent lifecycle to invoke the fortune as an alternative to manual invocation of the skill. You could do it on `SessionStart` to give a horosc
