> The mentality shift of renting vs. owning the gpus is huge. When renting, each experiment costs money and I had to ask myself is it worth it. When owning, it feels like not runni…

Rovelli is arguing (I think) that we need to fundamentally view consciousness as a natural phenomenon - albeit one that is extremely complex and poorly understood. So we ditch the …

Agree. We have a bunch of tools - specs, code, tests. All of these really are models of the end outcome we're trying to capture. You could just build something, see if you're right…

tsz looks impressive. Congrats!

> Claude Code navigates a codebase the way a software engineer would: it traverses the file system, reads files, uses grep to find exactly what it needs, and follows references acr…

I wish they'd have done this in a separate Codex app. On desktop I greatly prefer having Codex separate from ChatGPT... As compared to Claude, which is growing so fast and adding f…

I've worked on plenty of code where the original author is long gone. Not sure that holds water at all.

I've personally had people talk about token leaderboards at their work. Amazon and Meta did have ones, but I'd take with a decent grain of salt. We all know it's such an insanely g…

> It’s Still Your Code... AI maximalists will read this section and scoff. They’re already vibe coding everything and have little to no idea what the generated code looks like. Thi…

Are you specifically pointing at a different experience between free + paid? Or just that the free version is unimpressive? I'm using paid on TypeScript and it's genuinely terrific…

I've been working on JavaScript runner for untrusted code. The whole API is only exposed via messages passed over stdio. Security layers: V8 isolates, two-stage seccomp, frozen glo…

"AI attribution by default" was an intentional feature, but there were also bugs . This is why the post is so unclear.

Are they apologizing? Was it a bug? Why did they make this decision and what's the end goal? It's so unclear from the message - as evidenced by a lot of the responses.

The other huge problem is you never tell the user what they'll get out of the tour . People will invest in a tour if they understand the reward (and "learning" can't be the reward)…

And it's a very weak example in my view. In fact it's in the article - the reason the Great Wall myth exists is because it's so prevalent on the internet... Presumably because a a …

It's a tough one to wade into because the definition is so slippery. Most debate seems to focus on the definition of consciousness rather than the evidence... which is a major tell…

Fair call. I don't think couching it as conspiracy is the right frame either. This is not a one-off. I think a critical eye is warranted.

> I don't know what "openclaw" is. It's not something I have knowledge of, and it doesn't appear in your memory or this project's context. As others have pointed out, Anthropic is …

Sad news. I met Craig very briefly at a conference probably a decade back. I pretty much was a self-study in genetics at the time... so let's just say I wasn't in Craig's league. D…

Codex is pretty good. Its friction to switch but I think it’s sensible being across multiple AI toolchains.

I do "just use fetch" nowadays -- but I have to say, axios definitely has better ergonomics than fetch, especially for calling APIs.

I think there is more here: Anthropic's whole market positioning is based on trust . It's literally their reason for being. The Claude constitution has a major section about not be…

> “I don’t have access to X” is only correct after tool_search confirms no matching tool exists. Yay! This will be a big win. I'm glad they fixed this. The number of times I've had…

I'm surprised it's reporting is listed <5% - I thought it was pretty much ipv6 first?
