Now this is a definite human comment, shoehorned in xkcd links are a huge human tell.

It's very unclear to me why AI companies are so focused on using LLMs for things they struggle with rather than what they're actually good at; are they really just all Singularitarians?

I'm baffled that people, unknown to me, have apparently been considering Claude Code, the program, some kind of "secret sauce". It's a tool harness. Claude could one-shot write it for you, lol.

No, the Japanese imperial calendar oddness is that it's otherwise exactly the Gregorian calendar, but the era may change midyear.

This would actually be good though!

Just wait until you ask chatgpt where the export chat history button is!

Well, Claude has the best personality in a field where the rest are in a race to make the most awful personality. That's kind of a moat. The models were smarter too though the others have largely caught up, especially Gemini.

I'll be sad when $20 a month Claude goes away.

Bubbles bursting aren't bad unless you were overinvested in the bubble. Consider that you'll be wiping your ass with DIMMs once this one bursts; I can always put more memory to good use.

Eastern Europe starts at your home country's eastern border. E.g., if you're Russia, it's Japan and Alaska.

Richard Stallman is wrong about linking.

These are actually all problems with using Github as an ersatz CDN.

No, of course not.

Nothing, as they said .+P (note the dot)

They're not logistic, this is a species of nonsense claim that irks me even more than claiming "capabilities gains are exponential, singularity 2026!"; it actually includes the exponential-gains claim and then tries to tack on epicycles to preempt the lack of singularities.

Remember, a logistic curve is an exponential (so, roughly, a process whose outputs feed its growth, the classic example being population growth, where more population makes more population) with a carrying capacity (the classic example is again population, where you need to eat to be able to reproduce).

Singularity 2026 is open and honest, wearing its heart on its sleeve. It's a much more respectable wrong position.

The latter is possibly just a Git feature that should come into existence (it's annoying to have to make sure your hook is robust against this). But I think "being a package manager" is what they think the main point is.

Yeah, my home connection goes through a very low-spec protectli, but "low-spec" these days means "4 cores"...

I think you're a person behaving in a very socially harmful way, purportedly representing a group of such people. I think this based on the actual words you wrote. You're not behaving harmfully because you don't want to use software without the author's dox, you can have any preferences you like, but because you think your desire not to use it without the author's dox gives you any standing to impose demands on another person.

"I didn't ask for their name" is a ridiculous reply. You asked for some unspecified degree of personal information. Luckily the author didn't bow to your pressure but just said "I'm a software developer", which we already knew because of the developed software.

Why don't I have standing to demand people's dox as some random idiot Internet commenter? Answer this question and then turn your answer around on yourself. Then, maybe, apologize? Or don't, if you have some other way to psychologically ensure you won't go around demanding people's information in the future.

That's their choice, don't try to pressure them to self-dox. What is wrong with you / the "JJ Discord server"? Please identify yourself and everyone there so I can be sure to up my paranoia around each of you.

I hope everyone who posts a variation of "someone really fell for phishing? how stupid, I would never fall for phishing" falls for phishing soon.

These are old counterproductive FSF memes that should be retired, but stick around anyway.

The normal practical version of this advice that isn't a "guy who just read about arenas post" is that you generally kick allocations outward; the caller allocates.

It's apparently lese-Copilot to suggest this these days, but you can find very good hypothesizing and problem solving if you talk conversationally to Claude or probably any of its friends that isn't the terminally personality-collapsed SlopGPT (with or without showing it code, or diagrams); it's actually what they're best at, and often they're even less likely than human interlocutors to just parrot some set phrase at you.

It's only when you take the tech out of the area it's good at and start trying to get it to "write code" or even worse "be an agent" that it starts cracking up and emitting garbage; this is only done because companies want to forcememe some kind of product besides "chatbot", whether or not it makes sense. It's a shame because it'll happily and effectively write the docs that don't exist but you wish did for more or less anything. (Writing code examples for docs is not a weak point at all.)

Now imagine how much better

- the code

- your improvement in knowledge

would have been if you had skipped copilot and described your problem and asked for algorithmic help?

got to have a password manager password, and a login password

Oh, you must mean firstnamelastname@gmail.com.

American jurisprudence has the best standard for incitement in the world, the Brandenburg standard: imminent lawless action. "Imminent" is vital, and unique to America; the government is barred from constructing hypothetical situations around acts of speech to prosecute them, as is easy to do with quite a lot of speech.

And we only reached it in the 1960s! Freeing speech is always an active fight.

Yeah, the trusty manual becomes #1 at around the same time as one starts actually engineering. You've entered the target audience!

I'm interested in the claimed real-time capabilities, but it's hard to find anything about them written there. Still, I like the hardware integration.

Thanks for switching sides to oppose yourself, I guess?
