Apocalypse = paper and pencil. Maybe protected with some plastic.

I used to be a coder like you, but then I took a Claude to the knee.

Just finished Undo Redo by Scalini and Maponi, and I started Separazioni by Simone Amorino.

Both in Italian, both masterpieces of contemporary sci-fi. Separazioni might need another pass of editing, but it's strikingly good nonetheless.

The Hobbit

I'm never going to give it access to my email or anything like that.

It won't work most of the time though

I regret nothing.

This is not about Optimus Prime and the gang, is it?

Basically, they gave their land Atrial Fibrillation through strong extrasystoles.

No CarPlay / Android Auto is a deal breaker for me

I honestly am more worried and uneasy about the actions of the president of a certain powerful nation.

I mean, only yesterday Fable at max effort forgot to commit and push half the changes in two files and didn't mention it until I found out with git status.

It made half the changes, committed and pushed, then it made the other half of the changes on the same two files as before and... just stopped and reported back with a cheerful "all good, all done and pushed".

I don't know. That's a wooden shed, while my house is brick and concrete with a common European armored door and roller shutters.

I always think about it, but then I remember I couldn't sleep knowing my tech stuff is inside a shed in the backyard. Too easy to break in and steal it.

"Best iPhone ever" vibes.

That's not going to work in the South. Demand adapted buildings, housing, and AC where applicable.

I find such maps overwhelming and a detriment to how I learn things. I suppose I'm not exactly neurotypical, then?

Omigod.

Started at, idk, 2yo because everyone around me believed. Stopped at 18yo once I was old enough to actually understand reality.

Spoiler: Europeans use whatever their banks provide.

Awesome! No BeOS, or MSX?

Let me get this straight: a few times per month, someone posts horror stories about how Claude led to losing data and money.

Anthropic's response: let's make a nice package out of this, and let's target specifically the businesses that are less likely to be ready to manage such horrible events.

My own ethics are don't work for defence / war / weapons, don't work for gambling, don't work for alchool, tobacco, and the like.

That "Why it matters" heading is starting to make me feel physically sick.

I guess competitors really are after them these days.

Re: So if there is no permission to `rm -rf /`, Claude will just get denied and move on.

Until it doesn't and it finds a way to work around the restriction. Lots of stories around about that.

Writing code is 20-100 USD per month now

I actually did this with my teenage neighbor. He was learning electric guitar at hours the building had rules against. Hours I was studying throughout because of said building rules.

Whenever he switched his amp on, his landline would ring. Whenever he loudly stomped toward the phone, his landline would stop ringing.

Took three afternoons, but he learned it.

I just want to add that designers are usually bullied by upper management into designing beautiful things that make upper managers look good with their friends. No matter how impractical those beautiful things are.

Edit: Oh, and the "beauty" is in the eye of the managers.
