Aider is pretty good way to automate that. You can use it with Claude models. It lets you be completely precise down to a single file, and sit in chat/code/review loop - but it does a lot of the chores, like generating commit mess

> "More leisure for everyone" is utter bollocks. it's fascinating how this delusion persists. More leisure will only occur if it becomes true that the marginal return of doing additional work falls almost to zero. So to sa

For me the "responsibility first" part is the most important. I care more that you are willing to take responsibility at a higher level than your absolute performance at what you do. Because if you take responsibility you might ma

I guess it's the kind of thing where you want an almost Terraform like "plan" that it prints out before it does anything, and then a very literal execution engine that is incapable of doing anything that isn't in the pla

It's hard to think through the implications of living in a world where it is accepted that countries with more power simply invade each other and take land and possessions from those with less power. I can't think how it doesn&#x2

so you support a hegemony because you are opposed to hegemonies?

I guess I get both effects. Every now and then there is a post about something I'm actually expert in and the standard of the comments sometimes shocks me. It's hard to connect the two experiences.

Very little there about the code itself being good. A lot about putting good guardrails around it and making it fast and safe to develop. Which is good for sure. But I feel it's misconstruing it to say the actual code is "good&quo

Definitely don't hang out on Hacker News then. It's absolutely the worst place for imposter syndrome or people with any kind of skill inferiority anxiety or confidence issue. Half the reason I read HN is because the anxiety it ind

Sure, but there's no reason there can't be a correlation between us "thinking" it's intelligent and it actually being intelligent. What other proxy should we use? I can't think of a scenario where it's act

Receptors quite readily remodel in response to external factors. It is one of the things antidepressants do. To me it's kind of the biggest red flag here, if it's really about receptors then autism should be far more plastic than

by zmmmmm 10mo ago
It's an interesting finding but important to note they are making no claim about causality. In fact, an explicit future question is whether changes in these receptors is present at onset or if it's a result of living with Autism.

It's a good reminder of how completely out of touch a lot of people inside the AI bubble are. Having an AI write a thank you message on your behalf is insulting regardless of context.

a big part of the whole "hack" of Uber in the first place is that people are using their personal vehicles. So the depreciation and many of the running costs are sunk costs already. Once you paid those already it becomes a super g

There's not in the end all that much point having more memory than you can compute on in a reasonable time. So I think probably the useful amount tops out in the 128GB range where you can still run a 70b model and get a useful token ra

if you calculate depreciation and running costs on a new car in most places - I think it probably would be.

I just want FireFox to focus on building an absolutely awesome plugin API that exposes as much power and flexibility as possible - with the best possible security sandbox and permissions model to go with it. Then everyone who wants AI can h

I dunno about formal verification, but for sure it's brought me back to a much more TDD first style of coding. You get so much mileage from having it first implement tests and then run them after changes. The key is it lowers the frict

I'm a day late and I see so much advice here, but I see little mention of what made the most difference to me: lean into TDD. Building tests first has always been a strong methodology, but with AI support its both far less work AND you

If they voluntarily collude then yes, you can't avoid that. It's like third party cookies - once two parties collude it's game over. But that just outlines a situation where the user's chosen trusted service is hostile t

I feel like the EFF has stretched a bit far on this one. They need to be advocating for good solutions, not portraying age verification as fundamentally about surveillance and censorship. As many are pointing out zero knowledge proofs exist

by zmmmmm 11mo ago
It's funny because the same "perfect is the enemy of good" argument is used both to criticize age verification in the first place (why bother if it isn't perfect) but then also to dismiss proprosals to implement it bette

Exactly. I'd concede this point if I'd seen a giant public awareness campaign informing people which official sites to use and general safety awareness about it. I can tell you, literally nothing like that has happened. Not an ins

Well, even there, you're doing a transaction worth hundreds to thousands of dollars probably. This pretty much lowers the bar to any random website on the internet can ask for ID to do something as trivial as look at a photo. In a worl

I guess it comes back to again not whether things are technically watertight, but how socially normalised something is. People are used to giving their ID out for significant transactions. This law says now that pretty much any random websi

I'd like to know if there is any real world data about the effectiveness of TLS inspection in preventing harm. It's empirically a massive tax on any organisation that engages in any kind of software engineering or technical work.

by zmmmmm 11mo ago
A lot of the criticism is based on the concept that it won't be technically watertight. But the key is that it doesn't have to be watertight to work. Social media is all about network effects. Once most kids are on there, everyone
