Yes, and it's indistinguishable from the average X user.

Yeah, that wouldn't be a surprise. It looks to me like a failure of the American media landscape, that such constant revisal trends are not called out in the reporting of new numbe…

I'm not an expert at quantifying the magnitude of how bad that is, but revision down is not something "exceptional". The numbers have been revised down consistently since ~2022: ht…

I do feel like that still needs to add a layer of interactivity to be complete. From what I've seen most auto-approvers in coding harnesses either auto-approve or auto-reject, with…

> files, network, and MCP tools Locking that down to nothing is trivial for any harness: just don't expose those to the LLM. The tricky part is allowing access to those.

Yes, just like SaaS was a limitation to it's utility, PaaS is still a limitation, just on a different level.

It's open source, but it is so incredibly tied to their platform, that there is no vendor portability, which has made almost every of their product launches post-Workers kind of me…

I would generally agree, but a word of caution for anyone trying it out from this thread: Try the latest pre 2.x version. The 2.0.0 that was released last week is highly broken eve…

The US also isn't energy-limited. They'll just price out all humans living there from buying any electricity. EDIT: This was obviously meant to be facetious with the intent to high…

I think the article gives a very good overview of a problem that most users of AI rarely evaluate / have to grapple with. There really is a surprising amount of coupling that happe…

The Corruption Perception Index only ranks the public sector.
