Yes, theres a similar one for Microsoft Authenticator which obviously tries to con you into installing it by also advertising that it allows you to "sign in to your Microsoft accounts".

I see the exact same thing on Play Store, and I think Google is outright complicit in fraud. The top result when you search for an app, even if by exact name, is always, literally 100% of the time, not the app you are looking for, but som

There is no single conforming "corporate world" that applies to all companies. If AI is treated religion in your company that sounds like a local problem, even if it seems like a trend. Besides, GP was not talking about corporate,

What is this defeatist attitude? I don't know where you work, but it is not my impression that AI has instantly turned all developers into mindless AI-pilled sheep. If you feel like a simple suggestion like that will cost you your care

This is a common problem, and I don't get why LLMs have not been tuned to stop this nonsense. It is writing comments as if the audience is you, the user in the session, while obviously code comments are meant for future readers.

The vast majority of people who lose weight by calorie restriction gain it back, so I wouldn't call it highly effective. Short term yes, but long term, definitely not.

If you generate PRs too big to review for others, then they are too big to review for yourself. This means you are delegating the task of understanding the code to an LLM, and the end result is inevitably that noone in the organization unde

I have had some success with asking the LLM to rewrite the commit history after the feature was written. I often have a good idea of a good conceptual split, and the LLM has no problem doing the soul-crushing work of manually pulling out in

I think both can be interesting, but surely the 100 words will lead to a lot of variability in the exact shape of the result because so much of the spec will be left up to the LLM. However, it is still interesting to judge the quality of

Maybe not, I don't know. But at least we understand the pharmacology of many of them, which I guess is what I actually meant.

I think this is so fascinating because the hallucinations sound unlike anything else produced by psychedelics and other psychoactive substances, so I really look forward to learning what the mechanism is. From the stories I've read it

My doctor told me the same, but I think it's the wrong way to phrase it because I truly expected them to become invisible and got frustrated when they didn't. What they mean when they say that is probably that you learn to ignore

I got a large amount of floaters in my left eye after a sparring session where I was hit in the eye. Also had flashing in the periphery of my vision when I moved my eye, so I went to an eye doctor to have it examined. Luckily he couldn&#x27

I have a shell script that sends a message to me on Slack, and I have instructions in CLAUDE.md that it should be invoked when a long task finishes or if my attention is needed. The Slack app API key is one way messaging, so it doesn't

I also don't think it will kill creativity in the space, although my phrasing might have suggested that, just that it might diminish it and make implementation styles more conformative. On the other hand, we might trade that for creati

An important feature of taste is also that it is highly variable between people, and because there is no system or proof of good taste, we cannot really say that one person's taste is objectively better than another's. This is wha

I lost a family member to anorexia, and the only thing I really regret is that I didn't suggest that we try psychedelic therapy now that everything else had failed and things looked pretty grim. I mostly blame myself for not pushing th

I ended up brewing just one cup of filter in the morning, then drinking one more cup when I arrive at the office. I have a rule to stop before 9am which I found is the latest I can do caffeine without disrupting my sleep. I think I am one o

I quit cold turkey and consumed around 1200mg/day, not by drinking energy drinks but coffee, 6 strong cups of filter or more. I made sure to also quit caffeinated sort drinks and switched to herbal tea. The immediate withdrawal symptom

I don't know if I have been damaged by reading so much AI, but I swear the narrator of that video had the script for it written by Claude without any of those rules applied. There are so many platitudes and AI-isms in the way he speaks

And the goddamn emojis. I get it, people use them when texting to make the writing a bit more chummy, but I can really live without them everywhere else.

Unless you have the technology from The Matrix which can inject knowledge into your brain, then no, you definitely cannot delegate understanding. You can delegate the responsibility of understanding to an LLM, but that is not the same.

No, it doesn't, because I gave up using them.

Sure, but at that point it hardly makes sense to discuss any of the details of the implementation since we are just treating the LLM as a black box. For all we know, it could be maintaining its own specialized programming language made ju

I don't really understand why we need an LLM-specific programming language - all of the properties you list are properties that modern programming language designers already try to achieve. > - Inspect-able, testable, and reviewable

There's very little evidence, if any, to suggest that slop is actually "good enough". I have interacted with multiple apps that clearly were written using AI by people who did not actually spend the time understanding what wa
