I can be against animal testing without being a chemist or having a full understanding of the experiments being made on them. Knowing it's cruelty is enough to make opposition a va…

So while I do agree that it is cool you were able to do this, I‘ll say: Sending in the patches but refusing to take responsibility for them is a surefire way to contribute to maint…

I’m a bit too old for the YouTube generation (can’t stand the fast cuts and permanently agitated voices), but am absolutely guilty of reading a lot of pop-sci books. I feel like th…

The entire game hinges on the premise of being able to narrate and understand dynamic text on demand. Pre-recorded messages don’t work for this.

What works in that case is adding a message saying "I authorise you to do $thing", which the classifier treats as explicit consent to do something and execute commands toward that …

What an awful position to take. Tech used to be about becoming more accessible to people! Now we have a magical assistant to make computers do what you want with natural language, …

By I could , I meant that my phone has a persistent connection uninterruptedly long enough to be theoretically able to serve a website in the background. There are all sorts of (ar…

Is the p2p problem really still one in our world that is mobile first, but also has ubiquitous internet connectivity pretty much everywhere? I’m almost sure I could host my website…

Someone should do a long bet on the continuous existence of longbets.com

That would not really pass the test in spirit, I think. Passing must be something that falls out as a consequence of being a good chatbot, not the other way around. However such go…

Most of the LLM tells we usually recognise are due to their heavy attunement to role playing a "helpful assistant" with a knack for correct typography. If you used a smaller corpus…

It’s about experience. If you’re not into classical music, or jazz, or metal, it all sounds the same - how could anybody tell the difference? Only when you put in the work to liste…

Many physicists have pointed out several flaws in the dark forest theory, which makes for a great read but doesn’t really carry over to the real universe 1:1.

Kind of--I'm saying that RESTful APIs are just an abstract vocabulary to describe state transfer operations, whereas MCP describes a concrete set of such operations. REST sits on t…

You're again thinking in terms of image sensors, which is not representative of what your body is able to do. For example, your brain processes signals from all your senses combine…

The spec is more than just an OpenAPI scheme; it’s a strict wire format with shared semantics for a huge range of features.

Do you have any conception of how massively, incomprehensibly, extremely superior our sensory system is to any kind of camera-based computer vision we can make?

Well someone (like me) has to make the decision what their developers get to use, and that was in fact informed by subscription pricing vs. API cost.

I don't know; I've been rebasing huge branches in really mean divergent states with Claude Code, and it handled it flawlessly pretty much every single time. So I don't think the ac…

Exactly. It is societal norm to not harass other people, whether you do it online or offline. Do you realise how incoherent you are?

Ha, that's fun! I've built half your product for myself as a personal, native MacOS app, with a slightly different direction, but the same core idea. I might go do a little scaveng…

Note that we're talking about an edge case for an authoring error - applying two conflicting styles to an element does not make sense, it has no defined behaviour, and is correctly…

What kind of design drift do you mean? You set `--color-surface` in your theme once, then all surfaces in the app use the same color with `bg-surface`, regardless of the theme auth…

I would even say the answer is... however round "large rounded" should be . Tailwind doesn't force arbitrary opinions on these things upon you - it's a set of utilities to enforce …

Interesting, I didn't know that project yet! I'll give it a thorough read.
