It's a really lazy one too - there are so many open source harnesses, including e.g. Codex and Kimi-CLI, and of course the leaked Claude Code source, so it's trivial to verify if someone even just bothered to ask an agent to check

At least some Claude models have a thing for numbers that contains "47"...

People are also not remotely random in this respect. See e.g. the "blue 7" phenomenon [1]. While it is disputed by some, I've personally witnessed it "second hand". E.g. before learning of it (I was aware of the gen

100%. Since you mention memory management: Generational GC is pretty much the same idea: Keep the stuff that's least likely to change an important property (liveness) together. Conceptually the underlying general idea is to sort things

I've never seen an agent loop "reorder, rewrite, or inject fresh timestamps" each turn other than mostly towards the end of the messages. Messing with a large part of the context every turn would be a fairly crazy thing to

Agents handle Ruby just fine. I used to have to give them some stern rules about avoiding instance_variable_get etc. instead of adding accessors, but those problems have pretty much vanished in the last 6 months. I like using Ruby with agen

You've invented a whole new set of categories of pickpocketing that most people would disagree has anything to do with pickpocketing to justify a flawed argument. To your last paragraph, no, they are not. There is no automatic implicat

Especially with that colour palette it very much gives Word Perfect 5.1 vibes[1], which I suspect is either directly intentional, or indirectly so (inspiration from something inspired by WP) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

I don't think I could go this far, because I'd have too many devices to switch between. But I like the overall idea. It also fits in well with something I used to think about a lot: Computers and the internet have caused a major s

If you read "US as a whole", then sure. I've met many a lot of very friendly people in the US, some of whome I'd love to visit again. If you read "the current US administration and their voter base" it sure fee

This comparison is flawed because there is not legal pickpocketing, but there is legal immigration. If there was a legal pickpocketing, and someone claimed to only be opposed to illegal pickpocketing, then it would be reasonable to point ou

I have seen examples that shows otherwise, including from a client that tested it extensively by paying people who thought they were paid to help detect AI generated content. They did little more than what I described. It works very well. S

Giving an LLM samples and tell it to apply the style in the sample works a lot better than just telling it to copy a style it may have seen, or a list of rules. They do it well enough that it'd take really good output to beat.

The example was really to me because one of the better Nazi zombie movies is Norwegian (Dead Snow) and given the Nazi obsession with old Germanic and Norse myths, it wouldn't seem wrong at all to come across Nazi Vikings in a movie lik

There's a degree of induced magnetosphere on Venus. Coupled with the atmosphere, you're far more shielded from radiation even floating high up in the Venusian atmosphere than on Mars.

Exactly what will eat into PhotoShop etc. I suspect that if you start seeing vibecoded "PhotoShop alternatives" productised, they won't look like PhotoShop at all: They'll be something like a bunch of image manipulation

It goes beyond that. It's becoming cheaper and easier to e.g. vibecode tools to carry out the handful of uses lower end users may have for PS. Some users will do that directly. Some users will turn that into services or apps. PS will b

The push for the 8 hour working day started many decades before Ford. He was the first major employer to argue it benefited employers too, but many smaller employers had accepted it before that. May 1st as an international day for Labour

I remember from childhood a newspaper article after a number of drunk geese had fallen out of the sky and caused havoc on a motorway in Sweden. Apparently drunk birds dropping out of the sky is not that unusual.

Somehow I doubt I'd make much. I may have an ego, but not one big enough to think enough people would watch me ignore them... But maybe I should try.

In much of Europe, if you're planning redundancies above a certain (low) number of employees, the employees / unions has a consultation right before layoffs start in order to be able to negotiate or consider other options...

I have had this (garden leave) specified in contracts in Norway too - it's not strictly a requirement that you're allowed to serve out the full 3 months, but the default unless specified is 3 months. In the cases I had it in the

It is not that common in Norway. It has at least been argued in the past that working your notice period is not just an obligation to employer if they want to enforce it, but a right for the employee on the basis that being walked out can

Anthropic is a Public Benefit Corporation. Whether you believe that makes a difference or not, they need to at a minimum pay lip service to that.
