Can't remember who said it, but I think the most poignant commentary about the prospects of LLMs completely replacing humans is the simple observation that yes, you can delegate many if not all of your tasks requiring thinking to LLM

I use git every day and can do quite advanced stuff with it, but I do all of my work using magit in emacs. I don't even use emacs for writing code anymore, I only use it for git. I just can't be bothered with using the CLI, it is

I can have an internal monologue about something completely unrelated to the story while reading it out aloud, but I won't be able to follow the story. I don't think I make mistakes, but I probably fail to put the correct intonati

If you are the kind of person who unlocks the bootloader and installs GrapheneOS, then definitely not.

Exactly the same setup for me. It works great and the whole setup consists of a single Vagrantfile which I maintain via Claude itself. All relevant dotfiles are synced to a folder on the host so e.g. conversations are preserved across repro

I had a similar experience as you. We normally use Kotlin for everything, but last year we had to do a small project in Python. Setting up the tooling and choosing the tools is quite overwhelming, and the inconsistency between what the tool

It writes code as if the audience is you, the user of Claude, and not other developers reading the code in the future. I found that it helped to instruct it to keep in mind who the audience is and only write comments that describe the curre

The article claims this is what the ZKP scheme reveals: > Here is cryptographic proof that I hold a valid credential proving I am over 18. You can verify the proof, but you learn nothing about who I am. Is this true though? I am genuinel

You can't really prevent that unless you design a system which is inherently designed to track people, e.g. by phoning home to the issuer on each credential verification. The system being deployed right now is based on the issuer issui

The software layer in age verification is not necessary to trust though. The worst that could happen is that a compromised software layer steals your age credential, but it is by design anonymous so you don't risk getting your money or

I think the reason these systems require device bound keys is because the government is concerned with easily mass-produced forged age certificates. With software keys you can get an age certificate which can be copied instantly to a large

There are viable third alternatives which do not require building a full smartphone stack. The national eID in Denmark, MitID, is an app "protected by" Play Integrity, but at least there are two non-smartphone alternatives availab

Because Apple has always been a closed platform whereas Android started out being relatively open. For Android there is an alternative to Play Integrity which would enable governments to get remote attestation assurance on non-Google Androi

Even relying on Android's hardware attestation API instead of Play Integrity is an attack on digital autonomy in my opinion. Any security feature which relies on remote attestation of the users entire platform is government overreach

I think a better example is that we also don't allow people to pass their driving test in a Tesla with FSD.

I guess the experiment is interesting to determine if a model can produce something subjectively valued as "good" based on fairly vague and open-ended specifications. The benchmark is not to determine if the output fits the input,

Yeah, it glosses over a gigantic capital expenditure. It's sort of like saying that an open source modern CPU architecture allows you to build your own CPU "for free" (provided that you own and operate a fab).

> Through an API it costs a fraction of Opus, and you can run it yourself for free if you have the hardware. I haven't been keeping up on hardware costs for state of the art LLM inference, but this remark made me ask myself how many

My experience as well. I quickly stopped trusting Opus to build foundational abstractions because it would almost never to them well and instead would end up chasing into rabbit holes and building overly complex and ugly solutions. I think

I like running Claude in a VirtualBox VM managed by a Vagrantfile. The nice thing about that is that I can just give it root access to the machine and be certain that it can't exfiltrate any private data from my laptop (on top of that

This is why Claude's sandbox mode is also worse than having no sandbox feature at all. For almost any non-trivial software project you need Docker for development, either for the build pipeline, for integration testing or both. I run C
