    Not the OP, but I’m doing a ton of it and it works great. I had to decide what to use for my startup and for a few years I’d stopped using Rails. I considered using full stack node…

    As someone who has never used sublime I don’t get the analogy, but what do you like about herdr? Is it worth using? I came across it along with hunk at the same time and I’ve been …

    I actually think the fact Claude has certain mannerisms is kind of to be expected, isn’t it? If you talked to the same person every day all day I’m sure you’d be quite attuned to t…

    None of these mitigations (although they’re good ideas) address what I think is the real issue here, which is that people don’t like AI. And why would they, when the dish being ser…

    I think you are correct about the legislative push, because it’s clear that US AI companies can no longer live without it. However, it is not the case that this is Amodei’s fault. …

    It would be really great if there were rewards for being a loyal, responsible customer over a long enough period of time that your preferred model company would start trusting you …

    On the plus side, it’s Friday night. Hopefully this is sorted out by Monday morning.

    I went to Newfoundland and I went to a bar one night and met a guy from a small town along the coast and I literally couldn’t understand a single thing he said. He was apparently s…

    The narrative that they have guards against mentioning openclaw doesn’t make sense to me - I’ve been using Claude code to manage an openclaw instance for a few weeks now, with zero…
