My Fable pet-peeve is "You're half right, and half wrong, and the wrong half is worth diving into"

This is great. My enhancement was to create a .claude-profile file which specifies the account alias. "claude" can be aliased to read the file, set the correct env var, and launch …

Reminds me of the TGN1412 drug trial where patients had severe immune reaction and almost died. Sad that the story suggests they ignored all the signs that would suggest humans wou…

Isn't it interesting then how much of our intelligence is captured by our words/language? I would've thought to create AI you needed to replicate neurons and synapses and learning.…

While I don't disagree, there is a scale/volume problem I wanted to solve. If I read to my kids 365 days a year for 8-10 years, that's over 3,500 books. There's a lot of crap publi…

Now that's a Black Mirror episode. It's the story of all technology though, caveat emptor. For me it's still about human connection though. I read the stories we create together. I…

This just seems like laziness vs AI = bad. It's not like publishers are putting out masterpieces with human writing. They're cranking out minimum viable content as well. I've found…

Im curious to see what that would look like. It’s like inception, how many levels deep can you create a prompt that hijacks all the way up.

Defense in depth approach, would this work to help as a layer? - Wrap user input in strong markers like - Have the agent compute what it will perform as structured output. - Have a…

Yes this, I bought sets like the Arctic Ship and police bases thinking they'd be like dioramas. They quickly became components that they build other things on top of. It took some …

I use all three (MCP/CLI/API) based on what Claude excels at: * CLI: GitHub & AWS it already knows how to operate the CLIs well. Even learned about a few new CLIs like 1Password's …

The analogy is helpful, but yes we should be able to “intelligently design” something better than sleep analogues since we’re not constrained by evolution like in humans.

I gave up on Plex and just vibe coded a couple quick solutions instead: - Direct streaming 4K blu-ray atmos rips to home theater: just connected a PC via long HDMI fiber optic cabl…

I wonder how much this is correlated to token budgets? I'd be curious to see a split between $20/$100/$200/$500+ usage and see if there is different responses. I'm in the $400 rang…

Not the op but I think of it as “job security” for developers when they’re called to fix.

I chuckled cause the convenience/grocery store is laid out to make us find the high margin items and not what we need. They can't explain it to us otherwise we'd shop less.

Are they trying to drive safety or revenue? The second order effect people forget about is tickets are a source of revenue for cities and police depts. Surely driverless car compan…

I was looking at object storage recently and I hadn't realized how much profit cloud providers drive via egress. And it's so perfectly hidden from the marketing. Ended up going wit…

I don't understand how, having access to Mythos and unlimited use, their solution to open harnesses is lazy string regex-style matching.

Yes, I just think there's a sane way to do things that is not "never let LLM agents do things". For dev/prod staging though, there's that other story on HN right now of an LLM agen…

I just think there's more nuance to it. Some things have an implicit RTO/RPO/SLA of say a day. Risk is also correlated to recovery and rollback. And there's levels of LLMs out ther…

Underrated comment here. https://www.anthropic.com/research/emotion-concepts-function This study convinced me to be "nice" to AI agents. At least as I understood it, there's someth…

I'm not thinking of SaaS or properly built apps with an API, modeled databases, etc. I'm thinking spreadsheets/CSVs/MS Access that thousands of SMBs use to power their critical pat…
