The Wired article is higher quality, agreed, but "race-baiting", really? It seems quite relevant that a specific ethnic group is much more likely to suffer consequences due to this flawed mass facial recognition given how the enfo

It's certainly ... convenient that any criticism of a wealthy tech oligarch can be dismissed as "anti-education" as a rhetorical cudgel. It's not like others may actually have problems with say, his actual beliefs, the s

Wait, are you really saying you have never had Opus 4.5 fail at a programming task you've given it? That strains credulity somewhat... and would certainly contribute to people believing you're exaggerating/hyping up Opus 4.5

Okay, I use OpenCode/Codex/Gemini daily (recently cancelled my personal CC plan given GPT 5.2/3 High/XHigh being a better value, but still have access to Opus 4.5/6 at work) and have found it can provide value in ce

Using fiction as an interpretive vehicle to explore, challenge and contrast our assumptions and perceptions about our own world isn't even in the same universe as "outsourcing their reasoning to a work of fiction". "Haha

I had been using Codex for a couple weeks after dropping Claude Code to evaluate as a baseline vs OpenCode and agreed, it is a very solid CLI that has improved a lot since it was originally released. I mainly use OC just because I had ref

Yeah, I have been loving GPT 5.2/3 once I figured out how to change to High reasoning in OpenCode. It has been crushing every request that would have gone to Opus at a fraction of the cost considering the massively increased quota of t

Yeah it's really frustrating how often I see kneejerk rebuttals assuming others are solely basing it on presence of em-dashes. That's usually a secondary data point. The obvious tells are more often structure/cadence as you s

> if you can't see the value in this, I don't know what to tell you Okay, but I'm legitimately unclear on the argument for $60M - $300M value here, given it isn't articulated at all.

What kind of barrier/moat/network effects/etc would prevent someone with a Claude Code subscription from replicating whatever "innovation" is so uniquely valuable here? It's somewhat strange to regularly read H

Yeah, OpenAI was in theory founded to avoid the kind of economic moral hazards that would inevitably lead to an outcome like this, but Sam Altman saw dollar signs followed by lots of zeros, dangled them in front of engineers and from then o

Wow, you are not exaggerating by "a little misleading", like half the posts on that account's history are undisclosed promotion/praise of Clacker News, and then a couple claiming ownership of it. There's even one co

It's a losing strategy in 2026 to assume by default that any questionable spam blog/comment/etc content is written by an actual human unless proven otherwise. Besides, if there are enough red flags that make it indistinguisha

Drives me absolutely crazy how lately any time I comment about my experience using LLMs for coding that isn’t gushing praise, I get the same predictable, condescending lecture about how I'm using it ever so slightly wrong (unlike them)

Okay, so then the default for 95% of users is no encryption at all and police (or the far more likely thief, roommate, etc) don't even have to bother with a warrant to get all your data. Improving the situation ... how exactly?

For me at least it definitely wasn't quite so abrupt, it was probably about 2.5 months before I noticed the trend line ever so slowly moving up. Pre-Zepbound I had already lost about 30 pounds from my max weight of 260ish thanks to a s

I started taking prescription Zepbound (tirzepatide) right when it was approved for about 6 months and lost 30 pounds, later switched to a low dose of much cheaper grey market semaglutide for maintenance. The anti-drinking side effect was u
