Those are his actual accomplishments.

The issue is the sheer odiousness of Musk's political machinations. Claude has never tried to inject racist "white genocide" conspiracy theories into every unrelated conversation. …

Yeah, I've learned that it's only worth deploying Fable for the most challenging problems. For a while, my Fable workflow was looking like ths: Me: Hey Fable, I've got this massive…

Massive kudos to the whole team. I've been waiting 30 years for this announcement, ever since I first heard about the scrolls. Fantastic work!

Correction: Europe is much warmer than similar latitudes in North America. Madrid is north of Denver. Istanbul is north of New York. London is north of Calgary.[1] 1: https://www.r…

Yeah, and with 95% of those videos, there'll be something they gloss over which I don't understand; or I'll have a concern which they don't address; or, conversely, they'll assume …

For the past 18 months, I've been creating an in-house GUI application which is starting to approaching Photoshop-level complexity. By which I mean: it's still probably a solid ord…

I had an an interesting experience with a bird brain today. There's a robin who often sits in the fig tree in my back yard, giving friendly little chirps whenever I'm near. (I have…

There are many ways that America could be more democratic, and simultaneously produce less stupid results: 1. Eliminate / work around the electoral college system, which makes it s…

I agree with this. I'm not arguing that LLMs are conscious. We don't understand the math behind how our brains work; we don't know how close or far LLMs are to that; and we don't k…

And that is dogma. It's unthinking circular reasoning. It wasn't very long ago that scientists were certain that animals did not posses thoughts or feelings. Any behaviour which ap…

I could describe the electrical and chemical signals within your neurons and synapses as proof that you are merely a series of electrochemical reactions, and can only mimic genuine…

On the off-chance that psychosomatic suggestibility is on this list, I'm not even looking at it.

Sure there are goals -- but the problem is, you can't make automated tests for them in the same way as you can for (many) software engineering outputs. So you can A/B test somethin…

As someone who does both development and design, I agree. With some caveats. At this point, Claude now writes > 99% of my code. I wasn't an enthusiastic early adopter; it took me a…

I thought it was about replicating a mossad supply chain attack.

This makes me a very happy Claude Max subscriber. Finally, someone of consequence not kissing the ring. I hope this gives others courage to do the same.

Zubrin's "Hydrogen Hoax" from 2007[1] is basically an ironclad critique. The physics are inescapably poor, and always will be. (Zubrin makes other points in that article which shou…

Yes, this. I miss the old social media. I'd love to have it back. Having moved several times to various corners of the world, I have dear family and friends who are scattered acros…

Recovering architect here. This made my night. Bravo, no notes!

Great, now how do you make that actually happen at a political / regulatory / cultural level? It's already an uphill battle, because humans in large organisations seem to have an i…
