Would be cool to be able to change the width/angle of the petal
That would be great if that could lower API costs

Claude Code made a change on March 26th to skip asking for most permissions. See this quote "Claude Code users approve 93% of permission prompts. We built classifiers to automate these decisions":

It's helpful to rewrite software every 2 years as your team turns over. The code you understand best is code you wrote yourself, and no one likes maintaining other people's legacy code.

Good shout. Wish they were more transparent about these 3 things.
This is the risk of being a consumer in the AI world - companies are running extremely lean on real humans and are deferring support to AI chatbots with no real reasoning abilities...

Also an issue with scale - for example, Google having similar issues of not handling small, isolated cases.

Hope you get your money back!

As someone involved in hiring, there are a few factors going on:

1. There's no available headcount. No one is leaving since there are no opportunities elsewhere. Especially those on visas.

2. When we do have headcount, we get 1000 resumes within an hour or two. We also have a stack of referrals to get through first. A lot of these resumes are experienced folks with backgrounds in FAANG.

3. Supply remains high (100k CS undergrads every year including global supply) whereas innovation is low.

How can a user like me actually verify this is the case? All we see before and after are encrypted byte streams? Do we have access to our key pair?
Big news! He's probably the best science writer of our decade. Someone who actually does substantial, deep research, and covers all viewpoints.

I would expect them to be running on Google's distributed infrastructure which has error corrections through end to end checksums
