chomp··on TikTok disproportionately served anti-Democratic videos during the 2024 election

chomp··on Interview with Bob Odenkirk

chomp··on What Is (AI) Glaze?
It doesn’t, reread the limitations section.
chomp··on A new AI winter is coming?
For toy and low effort coding it works fantastic. I can smash out changes and PRs fantastically quick, and they’re mostly correct. However, certain problem domains and tough problems cause it to spin its wheels worse than a junior programmer. Especially if some of the back and forth troubleshooting goes longer than one context compaction. Then it can forget the context of what it’s tried in the past, and goes back to square one (it may know that it tried something, but it won’t know the exact details).
chomp··on The Secret Superfood of Thanksgiving
They’re not bad, it just depends on how much you process them. Oven baked fries for instance, are not far removed from normal oven roasted potatoes. Par boiling and then deep frying them in fats will release more nutrients than you would get from a normal baker. Slicing paper thin and perfectly frying is an industrial process that most people can’t replicate at home.

I honestly think home cooked potatoes are going to be perfectly fine in most ways.

chomp··on Claude Code weekly rate limits
That’s not what the parent commenter asked though, they wanted a price for not being concerned about limits. The API pricing is that.
chomp··on Claude Code weekly rate limits
Just use the API

What? These two do two separate things, do you mean ULA?

chomp··on Return of wolves to Yellowstone has led to a surge in aspen trees
That’s because it’s a bad point. An ecosystem can collapse for multiple reasons, e.g. collapse due pollution will not create a thriving ecosystem.

In almost all cases, when a collapsed ecosystem reaches homeostasis again, the result is a more fragile and less diverse balance than what was there previously.

chomp··on Marc Andreesen says universities will 'pay the price' for DEI
That’s what the parent commenter is saying, if everyone has the same opportunity to go to college and get a degree, then colleges don’t need to pick and choose students. Right now, only people with means can do to college, and so universities wind up balancing the scales.
