It's not about giving AI a free pass - obviously we should try to remove these errors. It's about whether one reasonable option for removing these errors is to stop using AI or not. If AI increases error rates that would be a reas

Room temperature chicken eggs is the norm a lot of places. The main distinction is whether they are washed. If they are washed, there is less risk of salmonella on the outside, but at the cost of a risk of micro fractures which means you ne

Häagen-Dazs is American, but was apparently meant to sound Danish. To a Scandinavian it absolutely doesn't.

Just to make things worse, the Scandinavian languages use different versions of what have historically been the same letters, and collate them differently. E.g. Norwegian has æ (Ä), ø (Ö), å, collated in that order. Technically the Swedish

You can use Claude Code directly with any provider that supports Anthropic's API by setting some environment variables, and indirectly via a proxy with pretty much anything else.

There was a whole generation of touch focused devices around '99-'03 or so, mostly hampered by too slow hardware, too low resolutions, cost, awful battery life and awful capacitative touch. I worked on a Linux based tablet back in

You can just have a gmail account you don't use, and in fact even if you have your own domain, if you're willing to pay for Google separately, you can have a Google Workspace account for your custom domain and your e-mail for that

I was on the application for the .name top level domain back in 2000 and then there was a reasonable excuse for that - we were in the first new batch of TLDs. We had to contact a lot of site owners to try to smooth the path. But given t

It has made my daily life better. It has built software for me that I've wanted but previously didn't have time for, for example.

No I am not. What you're demonstrating is exactly the basis for why the new usage is spreading. Poster 2 has raised a disagreement with the original claim. There was no implied rule. Poster 3 used the claim of it being an exception
135.
by vidarh 2mo ago
That argument only works if someone states the exception from the start , not when someone makes the claim while using the term.
136.
by vidarh 2mo ago
The term is often also used simply as claiming the existence of a rule by claiming the exception. It's one of those terms where I am pretty confident that I see the original use more rarely than the technically incorrect variations to

I also don't think closed source is going to work for any software where you can't aggressively prevent the user from introspecting a large chunk of the software, because it's so easy to point an agent at the tool and tell it

The power supply concern is real, but it's also "just" a regulatory issue. The UK has some expectations of paying for impact on the upstream power network, but the requirements are not nearly sufficient to deal with a massi

To me it's very easy: If I want to do a change by hand for the joy of doing that, I do. But if I want a piece of functionality now and don't want to set aside time to build it, I let an agent do it. It boils down to whether I dr

Fully agree with this. Also did lots of 6502 assembly, and also love doing agent-driven development. I also still like writing code manually and tweaking everything for myself, but those serve two different purposes. Sometimes I'm ha

The core advantage MCP gave you was a standard that by virtue of being blessed by AI providers people had strong incentives to actually implement.
