    Claude Design absolutely loves creating phrases like "Share the thread, not the PR". The amount of "do the xyz, not the abc" subheadings on docs in my workplace has exploded in the…

    If they focused on keeping search results genuinely high-quality, I think the outcome could have been very different. Basically everyone I know slowly began shifting their question…

    The prosecution would argue that you ought to have warned officers about the duress pin since this wasn't a robbery scenario.

    Unfortunately I don't think modern consumer CPUs are physically capable of addressing enough RAM to even load the model into memory. We'd have to wait for some random person to mak…

    That doesn't change the fact that there is a lot of Angular out there. No one's doubting how useful Next.js may or may not be, it's just a matter of fact that plenty of systems wer…

    I think that those two statements are somewhat contradictory of one another. But in any case, I'm curious about your decision to still use Claude for some questions. Do you find th…

    What an odd takeaway from this. The commenter attempting to point out blatant inconsistencies in the winning submission means they should have been bullied more as a child? Could y…

    This is admittedly an aside from the content of the post itself, but... why do so many mobile sites insist on preventing zooming in and seem to share the same incredibly buggy imag…

    Couldn't even get himself to say "thanks" for receiving $120,000 from the guy by the way, could only manage "that was cool"

    The number of critical CVEs every year related to memory safety seems to point to the contrary. The amount of "just one more static analysizer and we'll never have any bugs!" in th…

    Depending on the app, you could also get away with limited messaging such as a wheel of predefined callouts in a team game.

    Although it would be much more exciting to have some world conspiracy, try to consider what that would mean. That conspiracy's so powerful it can singularly decide votes across a u…

    Such systems are unfortunately trivially defeated by, for example, adding rings of colourful blocks around the edges of the image. If the scanning systems are then updated to notic…

    How is it kind to imply that by not going to university, Jarred was too stupid to think critically about his own path in life? Or just this in its entirety: "Jarred was a stinky ma…

    The argument isn't to avoid calling out "bad" behaviour, it's that you can do so with a professional (or at least not actively childish) tone. Using phrases like "stinky manager" w…

    Unfortunately all of the major AI model providers are massively incentivized to fit their models to various political narratives, especially through historical denialism. The "dive…

    Who's arguing for that? And why is it not "reasonable" to ask for basic privacy?

    They either just ban E2EE messaging or add a client-side scan of the content before "encrypting" it.

    How much of this is vibe coded? The widget demos about halfway down seem half-baked; the currency input allows letters and letter inputs visually disappear when you unfocus it. The…

    Apple is also an absolutely enormous company. Even if Valve wanted to lock in prices, they're simply too small for RAM manufacturers to notice on their radar, unfortunately.
