> LLMs write better than anyone I've ever worked with And yet every time I see AI-written documentation, there's paragraphs worth of throat clearing and space-wasters like the word…

For me, step 1 of trying to make Claude even vaguely usable is putting in a hook that just tells it 'FUCK YOU, STOP USING PIPES' whenever it tries to chain multiple bash commands.

Also, give it another couple of years and there's going to be a lot of work for any moderately experienced developer fixing broken slopcode hitting the hard wall of bad design.

Reading between the lines, I would bet the bail jumping charge was based on him crossing state lines back and forth, and was dismissed by the court when it became clear he wasn't a…

Those are the mechanisms I'm talking about.

So, uh, how did this random site get the rights to republish Bradbury? Or, to judge by their front page, did they mistake Bradbury's works for public domain?

Electric motors so every building didn't need its own steam engine, and cheap interchangeable parts manufacturing for the mechanisms that needed to be perfectly consistent in every…

The problem is the seams. Seam durability has been the driving force in a lot of "obvious" clothing inventions over the ages, and is why things like medieval crotchless hose were a…

What baffles me isn't even the AI part, it's that the judges showed absolutely no taste and just picked the thing with the most pointless pixel-filling detail in it.

Yeah, my takeaway here is less about AI, and more that these judges have no sense of taste and just gave more points to whatever packed in the most pointless details.

Maybe it's just me, but that font and its layout feels extremely recognizable to me as the "AI image sign font" that I've already seen on posterboards for a bunch of restaurants in…

I feel like you've got it the other way around: high computer literacy as the assumed default was a result of devices and interfaces that were impossible to use without it. It's th…

I would suggest making the wording something more like "Launching soon, contact us for pre-release information". Same end result but it avoids the association with overpriced enter…

Most "IMAX" branded theaters these days are just the biggest screen in the cineplex rebranded and with a more expensive (but still 4K) projector.

The "eww" part is that normally, anytime you see "talk to us for a price", that means someone is charging an absurdly high amount for the good or service.

If you look at the location chart and their definition of "starter homes", this just turns into a heat map of housing shortages.

Arbitrary OAuth built into the spec across the board is extremely useful. It prevents the many, many friction points that come from needing an agent to separately understand the au…

And don't forget about the `form` attribute to associate a button with any arbitrary form element by ID.

You're just describing the preexisting problems that led to bans and regulations on sports gambling.

Day trading is gambling. Buy-and-hold is investing. Algorithmic micro-trading is investing, despite looking like gambling. It's about whether there's an immediate dopamine release …

The "duress PIN that nigh guarantees destruction of evidence charges" functionality is extremely stupid, but otherwise GrapheneOS on a flagship phone is your best bet for an Androi…

This seems like the kind of thing that would put US citizens in way more legal jeopardy than just using a secure phone with a long password, refusing to unlock it, and buying a new…

The comment you're replying to was focused on prosecutorial incompetence, not benevolence.

In the US, if a meteorite lands on your property, it's yours and you can sell or donate it as you please. This homeowner probably made a decent amount on the sale, especially with …

I leave Claude memory stuff turned off by default for the same reason. It inevitably ends up dragging in things that are unrelated and unimportant to the current task.
