How is that different from referencing digital text that someone copied and pasted from Claude?

This is one of those issues that I will refrain from opining on directly, because I like living in a world where different cultures have different attitudes ways of living. Far be …

For those who are a bit intimidated by the thought of starting running, especially if you are a bit older, you don't need to run hard or fast. Slow jogging (zone 2) results in grea…

That's not a common refrain, that's you interpreting reasonable statements in the most extreme possible way.

In theory. In practice, dense urban neighborhoods have very low birthrates, and always have. Cities are population sinks

Unions typically fight pretty hard to keep their members from facing professional liability (see police unions), so your comment is a bit at odds with itself. I'm fairly confident …

> Claude code does some of this by handing off the "explore" agent work to haiku This is no longer necessarily true. As of 2.1.198 [0] (released July 1st): "The built-in Explore ag…

Pen and paper nearby might help.

Nope. I used to assist a photographer who did shoots for catalogs, and clips were used quite a bit. The same model has to wear dozens of pieces of clothing throughout the shoot, an…

Respectfully, I am not. Communication is so broad as to be meaningless in this context. Can you have a community that communicates via smoke signals alone? If people don't talk abo…

Gossip is a hugely important part of how a community constitutes itself. Without gossip, you don't even have a community. Of course, it can go in malicious and destructive directio…

If that was the real purpose they would have priced it lower.

That doesn't seem that weird to me. Good processes lead to good artifacts.

Do you really believe that people keeping politics out of technical discussions is how we got here. I mean, do you actually believe that, or are you just using that rhetoric to bol…

Sometimes called the soft bigotry of low expectations

What relationship does the death penalty and genocide have to democracy (or lack thereof)? That seems orthogonal to the definition.

I had the same experience visit Mojave National Preserve. It was very distracting while trying to stargaze. I had to stay up late to see the night sky I remember

That's not true. Even the liberal interpretation of this recognizes that some people within the geographic boundary are not subject to the jurisdiction. Diplomats and invading armi…

Following the implications of this argument leads to some pretty hairy places. If a person is incapable of reasoning outside of their class/race/gender/etc position, then how is a …

Having all the world's knowledge at our fingertips didn't seem to make us any smarter (quite the contrary, from where I'm sitting), so I'm skeptical that having private tutors at o…

Looking at some of the agentic coding benchmarks on the system card[0], pages 117-118, it seems that running it at low outperforms Sonnet 4.6 at any level, and is a good deal cheap…

I think their last sentence is a pretty clear indicator that they were not being serious.

This doesn't seem like a dichotomy to me. Words can be a byproduct of thought and consciousness while also enabling new forms of consciousness and reasoning. Clothing enables the h…

I got an email from them with this information approximately six hours ago. There is also a banner about the price change on their API platform site, at least for me

Are you only considering coding use cases? Many enterprise use cases, such as simple data extraction, are well served by cheaper models.
