> Arch Linux with Hyprland (I use Xorg/i3 though), fully riced with cats I think I lack the vocabulary to understand "fully riced with cats" in context here.

Well, Twitter isn't worth much, or at least not what Elon paid for it in 2022, it just carries on like a zombie under a different name and investors got bailed out by being rolled …

Considering that the whole industry, including the big AI companies, is built on top of open source now, I would have to say it did matter. That doesn't mean every project mattered…

The precision implosion of the type used on the plutonium core of Trinity (and then Nagasaki) isn't exactly trivial, but a number of nations have pulled it off. I believe the detai…

I mostly disagree with this. You can request sources, you can ask it to check, but no LLM I have used can do this correctly more than 50-75% of the time, and some of the major mode…

This sounds like the New Yorker article [0] in which Joshua Batson at Anthropic instructs Claude to keep bringing the conversation back around to bananas, but never reveal why: "Hu…

"free as in cocaine", for 6 months.

I don't doubt that Claude is capable of mass surveillance, but surely it is not too much of a stretch to say it may not be suitable for automated killbots?

This just points out that Claude is not on your computer, only your interface to your Claude session is.

Generating code is a solved problem. Some people think that is the same thing.

You're making a lot of assumptions here that are not supported by the article. In any case, if his application is not valid, they can deny his green card application. Why throw him…
