causal

False positives are still false positives. You don't decide to ignore a possible tumor because everybody's getting MRIs these days.

This is super helpful. I would read a yearly summary like this.

Isn't CORS supposed to prevent this?

Democracy makes problems much more visible. The "other ideas" will just hide problems much better

I've never understood this line of Marxist rhetoric, isn't like every instance of communist government also a complete merging of state and corporate power? Or is that just more "not true communism"?

That is not an exception, it's exactly what the Tweet is talking about

Bad governance does not justify more bad governance. Even if it's true that previous admins have done all this before (it's not) it wouldn't justify a thing.

Trying to give something more power because you think it likes power is generally considered risky

I still need to try them, but I'm having a hard time envisioning async agents being nearly as useful to me as something local like Claude Code because of how often I need to intervene and ensure it is working correctly.

Won't the loop be pretty long-tail if you're using async agents? Like don't you have to pull the code, then go through a whole build/run/test cycle? Seems really tedious vs live-coding locally where I have a hot environment running and can immediately see if the agent goes off the rails.

Solutions that include mass die-off of human populations are generally considered incomplete

Can you explain what this does?

Yeah title implies a why, but this is really just about how

3. APIs. If you already have a client facing API for your iOS and Android apps, and maybe one for developers, a SPA is just another app to plug into that backend.

Okay, please don't post ChatGPT output as fact without verification or at least stating where you got it.

Where did you get this? Don't see it on the 2025 problem set and now I wanna see if I have the right answer

What does max⁡1≤i<j≤n mean? Wouldn't M always be j?

These numbers feel kind of meaningless without any work showing how he got to 16%

Doubting LLMs because Segway was also trendy yet failed is so funny

Heh. Gonna leave it then

I think such a tool could be useful for ensuring all the facts get included, but I hate the idea that some departments could start highering illiterate officers if this tech goes far enough.

Kinda missing the point though if you're finding strength in industry

Yeah it kind of matters how you define AI. Tiktok and other short-forms videos are arguably AI addiction.

Yeah I think we often point to the youth because we often implicitly value them more than others, but I've seen seniors more addicted to Tiktok than any kid I've met. In some ways kids have more adaptive power than older generations when confronted with new technology.

That was my suspicion at first as well, but I hope it's real because I am certain there are people who need it.

Something social media proved long before AI is that a significant portion of the population would consume low-nutrition socialization like Twitter all day if it lets the avoid having face to face conversations.

AI lets them remove even having to deal with humans over the Internet. It's a bit like the lengths we go to avoid moving our bodies, despite how much of life's joys require physical exertion.

Hey I just wanted to say this is one of the better studies I've seen - not clickbaity, very forthright about what is being claimed, and presented in such an easy-to-digest format. Thanks so much for doing this.

Agreed and +1 on "always feels like it is almost there" leading to time sink. AI is especially good at making you feel like it's doing something useful; it takes a lot of skill to discern the truth.

CTOs at most of my companies were more like tech evangelists

Yeah very apt

Yeah LLMs are generally going to pursue a solution to the question, not figure out the need behind the ask.

Not to mention the solution did end up being to use a higher port number...
