Initially I thought this was a useless/dumb idea. On reflection, I like it - it's weird. Old internet weird. Like someone with a couple hundred bucks and some time on their hands w…

My org now sends some portion of our requests to non-anthropic models because refusal has become common from Claude. The requests themselves aren't dangerous, we find that benign r…

Very well said. I think that "deciding what types of code can be reliably handed off to AI" might be missing from the list. It's orders of magnitude easier to nail 80% all the time…

Tools exist to be an energy/effort multiplier, so it's pretty intuitive that increasing that multiplier will make it easier to get more done. In practice it's pretty difficult to f…

Imo there's a huge blind spot forming between 6 and 8 when talking to people and in reading posts by various agent evangelists - few people seem to be focussing on building "high q…

My org has built internal tooling that approximates this. It's incredibly valuable from a manual test perspective though we haven't managed to get the agent part working well, app …

This is really nice and a very original take. It feels good on mobile / other touch devices. I'd love to see it feel a bit more polished on desktop (maybe I'll give that a shot if …

Following this logic, why write anything at all? Shakespeare's sonnets are arrangements of existing words that were possible before he wrote them. Every mathematical proof, novel, …

Consider this (possibly very bad) take: RAG could largely be replaced with tool use to a search engine. You could keep some of the approach around indexing/embeddings/semantic sear…

The Umbraco CMS was amazing during the time that it used and supported XSLT. While it evaluated the xslt serverside it was a really neat and simple approach.

I expect it will wind up like search engines where you either submit urls for indexing/inclusion or wait for a crawl to pick your information up. Until the tech catches up it will …

Except value isnt polarised like that. In a research context, it provides pointers, and keywords for further investigation. In a report-writing context it provides textual content.…

devoir de désobéissance is _duty_ of disobedience. If they choose to follow orders they know are illegal they can be personally liable.

AMD's offer was more than fair. Hotz was throwing a trantrum.

The business model doesn't matter. I can write something with Microsoft tech and expect it with reasonable likelihood to work in 10 years (even their service-based stuff), but can'…

Imo the con is picking the metric that makes others look artificially bad when it doesn't seem to be all that different (at least on the surface) > we use a stricter evaluation set…

Specifically within the last week, I have used Claude and Claude via cursor to: - write some moderately complex powershell to perform a one-off process - add typescript annotations…

This is great, but I wish there was a shorter and more to the point version for me to link folks to. Each of the ideas in here is solid, but there's too much writing around the cor…

The aftermarket for these things means that the cost winds up being split between multiple parties in a lot of cases. Anecdotally, most parents within my circle bought their Snoo u…

My org uses codegen as a starting point for one of our test layers. It works for us probably because we sidestep the pain points you list - the environments we run in are pristine …

A level of fear allows the introduction of regulatory moats that protect the organisations who are currently building and deploying these models at scale. "It's dangerous" is a ben…

> Price discrimination is not illegal The Play store operates in many jurisdictions, including some where this is borderline or could be deemed to be illegal I hope that some of th…

But it's free and you didn't really answer the question. Were you looking for a soapbox to stand on?

More interesting than the original statement is how many people seem to have a chip of their shoulder/take the statement as a personal insult. The professor is correct in that the …
