“Every tool is scar tissue over a real wound. Follow the wounds, and the map draws itself. THE ONE IDEA THAT UNLOCKS EVERYTHING” uh-huh I have noticed myself having a visceral reac…

“the matchup feels earned” is a current AI-written tell. To whom does it feel earned? To the AI that wrote this article? I don’t know what it is specifically, but my weak human pat…

The same is true of humans, not surprisingly. If you ask the average human "Why?", they will generally get defensive, especially if you are asking them to justify their own motivat…

Gender is mutable. Sex is determined by genetics, though in a handful of creatures, sex could be considered mutable.

Yeah this is a good one. I’ll add it. It really is so bizarre, it takes like three unlocks.

I thought about adding that bug but it seemed like “search doesn’t work in this other thing” was just going to get repetitive (despite being true and annoying AF) and I had already…

Huh. How else would you get a massive company that has let certain bugs sit for decades to address them? This method is probably just as ineffective as reporting another bug into t…

You're not wrong — but actually the prompt I gave it was "invert Apple's design style." I think it did a reasonable job?

QNTM's There is no Antimemetics Division. It was a free set of short stories that he self-published. They were so good he got a publishing deal, and now you can buy the reimagined …

There’s also Rivian. My R1S is my favorite car I’ve ever owned and this is going to be their “Model 3 year” when the R2 comes out. There’s also Lucid and Zoox. And the Chinese manu…

So let’s add a world model!

Agree completely. Every human is successful at some things and incompetent at others. I am not making any assumptions of malice, unless we’re getting into “malice is just a perspec…

Sorry, no. Hanlon's razor is usually smart and correct, for the majority of cases, including this one. In this case, it is a huge stretch to ascribe DOGE to incompetence or to stup…

I think literally this whole post is about doing stuff on your iPhone that Apple doesn’t want you to do. So maybe start with TFA?

"Stupid" doesn't seem to be the right word to apply to a man who has managed to (annoyingly) command the attention of the entire world and who has gotten himself elected as the mos…

"I'm choosing to be 'insulted' by the existence of an arbitrary thing in the universe and then upset by the insult I chose to ascribe to it."

Traveling to other cultures involves being exposed to seeing things you aren’t accustomed to. In many ways, that is the whole point. I’m not defending the Faroese here (nor casting…

It definitely depends on what circles you run in. When someone I know or is a degree of separation away from me pulls out a PC, it is always a little bit of a surprise.

Are you Jenny Holzer, “you are trapped on the earth so you will explode” conceptual artist?

Or run your legal questions through a frontier model and then have a lawyer verify the answers. You can save a lot of money and time. Yes, all LLM caveats apply. Due your diligence…

A million years ago in AI time, AKA yesterday, there was a HN post from John Carmack talking about how Meta wasted a ton of time and money making XROS and how nowadays it doesn’t m…

You are absolutely right!

This is the way Claude Code should Just Work™. Thanks for making and sharing. Hopefully someone from Anthropic sees this and incorporates it (and gives you credit and/or a job!)

That’s a safety thing that we have placed upon some LLM’s. If we designed them to have an infinite for loop, the ability to learn and improve, access to mobility and a bunch of sen…
