jgbuddy··on UK to force social media to remove abusive pics in 48 hours
So any flagged item must be removed by law?

Simple, cheap and fast
jgbuddy··on UK to force social media to remove abusive pics in 48 hours
I wonder how 'abusive' is categorized. By some committee maybe?
jgbuddy··on France dumps Zoom and Teams as Europe seeks digital autonomy from the US
It's all fun and games until there's an outage, nothing screams efficient like a state-owned tech company
jgbuddy··on Claude Code's renderer is more complex than a game engine
Agreed
jgbuddy··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
I disagree on what’s needed for a ‘healthy society’ but maybe that’s subjective

What? Storing encrypted data doesn’t mean you have to encrypt it on hardware you don’t own
jgbuddy··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
Most blob storage is encrypted. S3 is by default.
jgbuddy··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
Thus is probably more about the EU having access to eu data than not having the US have access to EU data. Also it’s not like it’s impossible to encrypt things when you store them? This article is more political than logical or technical, it’s unfortunate that government control / intervention in the free market to this degree can be spun into something positive.
jgbuddy··on Self Driving Car Insurance
> and then one sees that the primary purpose of most automations is to obscure responsibility.

Are you saying that the investments in FSD by tesla have been with the goal of letting drivers get a way with accidents? The law is black and white

jgbuddy··on Self Driving Car Insurance
Because the operator is liable? Tesla as a company isn't driving the car, it's a ML model running on something like HW4 on bare metal in the car itself. Would that make the silicon die legally liable?
jgbuddy··on AGENTS.md outperforms skills in our agent evals
Am I missing something here?

Obviously directly including context in something like a system prompt will put it in context 100% of the time. You could just as easily take all of an agent's skills, feed it to the agent (in a system prompt, or similar) and it will follow the instructions more reliably.

However, at a certain point you have to use skills, because including it in the context every time is wasteful, or not possible. this is the same reason anthropic is doing advanced tool use ref: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/advanced-tool-use, because there's not enough context to straight up include everything.

It's all a context / price trade off, obviously if you have the context budget just include what you can directly (in this case, compressing into a AGENTS.md)

Water consumption is not what the headlines lead you to believe- using water for cooling doesn't "consume" the water
jgbuddy··on Vargai/SDK – JSX for AI video, declarative programming language for Claude Code
It makes no sense to me to use something hierarchical like JSX for describing a time-series sequence like video
jgbuddy··on Amazon closing its Fresh and Go stores
The general force behind this is the expansion of sub-same-day delivery which they have been pushing hard for the last year. Amazon fresh was a more traditional model which didn't fit in well with amazon's strengths (fulfillment, automation) because they tried to enter a market they were directly competing with (in-person shopping) and charged users for delivery in addition to their existing membership.

It's a welcome change IMO, amazon groceries are super cheap online and now delivery is free. They have been removing the fresh name from products for a few months now and replacing with amazon grocery. Certainly less confusion for consumers, at least

jgbuddy··on Amazon closing its Fresh and Go stores
Yeah these are all going to be wrapped up into their same day delivery service. Amazon fresh was very expensive and required a fee on top of prime which unsurprisingly nobody wants to do
jgbuddy··on Amazon closing its Fresh and Go stores
does competition not naturally drive competitors to reduce margins?
jgbuddy··on Ask HN: Claude Opus performance affected by time of day?
It seems clear that, rather than throttling, anthropic serves lower quality versions of their models during peak usage to keep up with demand. They refuse to admit it, and it's hard to prove, but these threads consistently happen ~3 months after every single model release.

Just don't work for non-technical people, problem solved. They're usually less successful anyways

Great on bose for doing this, but this is some of the funniest documentation I have ever seen. PDF with structs cut in half on page breaks lol

I work at Amazon and can escalate this if you're interested. Let me know the order ID and I'll see what I can do.

A bad programmer maybe, but a better / faster developer.
