No one was hurt, you were at most inconvenienced. And that's perfectly fine. Also, using jargon that doesn't apply: a knee-jerk reaction is one that does way too much to address a …

But then the obvious next question is: is it still a browser, then? In the same vein as asking whether a tool that can extract data from PDF files is a "PDF Reader" (probably not) …

That's the problem: what you see and what is actually in the PDF are not the same thing : the actual text in the PDF has a minus sign on both. The entry that you see as "$110.00-" …

Some trailing minus signs are true negatives, but it depends on the color which ones are and which ones aren't (and someone got paid for that. Amazing).

Now we just need everyone else who works for X to do the same.

This is an odd comment: the project is right there for you to use, so just try it and see if it holds up to the claims? Then you can comment about the fact that it either doesn't h…

They... didn't? They got a petition response from the EU that was more positive than they had expected, and a response from the commission is not court: the response phrasing liter…

A postmortem is for reflecting on something that went so wrong you had to kill it, and you want to objectively describe what led to that, and what lessons can be learnt from the fa…

Either you mean retrospective, or you're being unnecessarily mean for something that's been getting quite a lot update reports, just on a social medium you probably don't use =P

I can't see any specific "and then AI happened" in this graph? SO made a lot of dumb choices that made it less and less useful for people independent of forcing AI in there, nothin…

> Input. A sorted list of 32bit unsigned integers vals: Vec . Okay, but that's not even remotely like the kind of input that this tree was created for. From the next paragraph, thi…

If you think those two contexts are equally secure, your machine is incredibly insecure and I hope you run daily incremental full system backups. You have far too much data in unse…

> On your own machine that leaves two bad options. You approve every command (and babysit a prompt every few seconds), or you run --dangerously-skip-permissions and hope nothing im…

Note that they must be sold with this feature. It does not say you have to keep this feature, you can aftermarket remove it or disconnect it just fine.

Anthropic can't be bothered to actually fix any VS Code extension bugs that people file. They could just let Claude fix them, but instead they let Claude close bugs as stale so the…

It's nice that you have that luxury, but that makes you an anecdote in a world where folks need a smartphone just to access banking or government services.

> Sometimes I won on points and lost the person. More often I won nothing at all: I’d watch someone grow more certain of the very thing I had just disproven, while the room quietly…

Not if you had a non-US laptop. Almost every laptop keyboard except for US models have an AltGr on the right.

That's actually the one thing that does make sense: police has always wanted to be able to do this, but they legally can't. But they can reward a private company willing to do it f…

But not so much between "this person walked in my door and stole my stuff" and "I left the door to my house open and then I put my stuff in the doorway." Flock cameras are roughly …

No, the shortcut was alt+s. That's what people typed. Then on Windows, which used alt-combinations already, it became rightalt+s (as the rightalt wasn't used by Windows itself) but…

And every time you press it, an entire VM gets spun up, fully provisioned, and then set to LLM processing mode even though all you'll be doing is immediately closing the app again.…

You forgot the "still" in that sentence.
