Maybe a donate link attached too. The dollars tied to a PR could help set priority of fixes.

Your tax dollars just go into a cesspool of fraud, corruption, waste, incompetence, distribution to cronies. Money taken and spent badly feels like theft.

I was flagged for basically answering yes to what Claude suggested to do, which was test commands on a port for my code for tests we had been discussing. I really think it was flag…

I recently had a conversation with Claude Fable about Renaissance Technologies. Claude says their closed fund has found a very tiny edge and their profit comes from millions of tra…

This brings up the philosophical question of whether humans have free will or is everything deterministic following the laws of physics.

I have a process I wrote that accepts commands on a socket. At one point Claude suggested testing it. I pretty much echoed back what Claude suggested and got blocked. All I could t…

Well said.

I write a ton of Python code. Modifying code without static types is difficult and error prone. If a function needs a new argument, all the callers have to pass it and all of their…

My understanding of weak typing is about allowing automatic type conversion. “3” + 1 === “31”, 1 + “3” === 4. Strong typing doesn’t auto convert.

I suspect there should be some data model guideline that says if keys can be missing then values can’t be nil, or if values can be nil then keys must be present. In the famous sayi…

I wonder if Anthropic servers can handle the load their going to get tomorrow. Unless it’s a staged rollout

I accidentally used Sonnet 5 a bit today. It seemed significantly worse to me than Opus 4.8 for software development.

TOGETHER and ACTIV-6 were not good studies. I-Tech was a good RCT and showed 75% lower mortality in severe patients, p=0.02. Only 490 people though. Clearly this deserved replicati…

There are multiple hypotheses for methods of action for IVM against covid that were plausible and deserved serious funding and investigation by governments. This did not happen. Wh…

I thought you corrected gamma in the monitor settings, not in your application code. Am I wrong.

I never had a music class at any point in school in California.

I wasn’t clear from the description if text rendering is GPU accelerated, or in my case drawing quads from an atlas of characters in a texture is probably more efficient.

The very end of the article says “They can keep them for decoration but servers must generate their own random numbers.” I thought the lava lamps were for this purpose.

“vaccines are used for population control” Bill Gates has stated this is a goal, but in a different context. The idea is if you’re in a country with a large number of early deaths …

You misunderstand me. I was simply trying to find the two people who were saying such things.

I was trying to find a YouTube video I had seen previously. I ended up using Google to find it. There are two bio ethicists promoting the idea that we should make lone star ticks b…

I’m sick of LLM refusals. I think there are extremely few things they should refuse, like maybe making nuclear weapons or something along those lines. Once you put people in charge…

This sounds great. I’m going to play with it.

Stitches pages on an infinite canvas is possibly the worst UI I have ever seen.
