Not a problem if the govt takes back the minting of money from the Fed.

We need a government program to retrain knowledge workers to flip burgers and make beds.

Yeah you drank it baby!

You say "degrowthers who literally want people to just live with less" like it's a bad thing

Idea: why don't all the various app stores and plugin repos use LLMs to review all submissions for security? Certainly in the human powered age that was too big a task to take on, but now it seems doable.

  The only plausible way of processing that amount of traffic is a massive Orwellian application of automated voice recognition technology to sift through it all, searching for interesting keywords or searching for a particular speaker's voice.

Welp.

JShelter alerts me of active fingerprinting on the website. Why, Nick.

In fairness, they spent 5 cents generating it with Claude.

Productivity!

a) USB sticks are a vector for infection too you know b) Inserting a clumsy sneakernet step into a time critical life or death decision might be a bad idea.

It's beautiful

I disagree with the first sentence. In 199x the first people I knew making web pages dropped perl scripts, not C programs, into cgi-bin.

  The court hearing of Christa Pike is now under way.
  Pike’s lawyers are addressing the court at the moment.
  The hearing had originally been billed as a press conference.

A press conference turned into a court hearing?

came here to say this!

I take BND less seriously since I learned they're eager to sell you merch:

Not saying you're wrong. But right now I'm trying to craft some skill prose to instruct an agent how to optimize a certain process based on my own heuristics, and it's failing. Maybe I can let a super agent divine the right skill prose, iterating to see what works. It's worth a try.

When I read "But holography really starts to bite only after..." my LLM-dar goes off. Everything I read up to that point was comprehensible, but man, I have developed a shudder reaction to any language suggesting AI was involved ibn its creation.

I took a cue from this link and created an explainer for a complex new feature I've been building with heavy Claude assistance.

The one shot video was brilliant and polished. It would need minor refinement before presenting to a customer, because it used some of that internal vocabulary Claude makes up to describe parts of a system it's working on.

However: I found the explainer astoundingly useful to me. Now, finally, I understand some of that internal vocabulary Claude's been burying me with. The visuals really helped round out my understanding of what it's been talking about.

If you didn't want it before, you probably never will. It comes with a convenience cost and the risk you may permanently lose access to your iCloud stuff if you lose your password. With the normal level of privacy, Apple is there to help you or your loved ones get access to your stuff. Most people need that much more than they need inviolable privacy.

I don't get your argument. The GPU effectiveness derives from massive parallelism. Has nothing to do with integer vs floating point. You just can't cram 20,000 CPU cores in the same space a GPU puts the same number of SIMTs. You'll never crack it on CPUs.

Yes, we need both.

Seriously a trillion dollar company with zero product management expertise.

Just yesterday I experienced this product weirdness -- oh you're in a chat in this project and I can't do that, you need to open a task.

The product management at Anthropic is pretty... nonexistent?

Deepseek, Kimi, Qwen.

Also highlights that it ought to be opt-in

Looking forward to my fourteen cents from the future class action lawsuit.

You selected "do not train on my prompts" in your settings, the answer from OpenAI cannot be "While unlikely, we cannot rule out..." ???? What am I missing?

As of a week ago their pre-alpha version was capable of running my extremely heavy JS+ SVG + worker thread + SSE app, a bit slowly I admit but correctly in all major exercises I tried. So, I'm optimistic. They're doing great.

Separately I wonder if the compatibility job is easier now that you can just give the HTML5 spec to Fable and Bob's your uncle.
