Re:Claude mixes up who said what and that's not OK on Thursday April 09, 2026 @09:07AM (#47703221)
I've seen something similar. It's hard to get Claude to stop committing by itself after granting it the permission to do so once.
Re:Apple sets up iPhones to relay location for 911 calls on Tuesday June 19, 2018 @11:04PM (#17352240)
Maybe the 3rd party app could be opened when 911 is dialed instead of a phone call being made?
Re:Imgur launches video on Wednesday May 30, 2018 @12:28PM (#17189075)
A lot of those memes are probably the same image. Would it be possible for Imgur to remove duplicate images and just redirect users to the original? That might help save bandwidth.
