Viewing profile — riskassessment

Fair, the important distinction is agent-agnostic rather than open-source. There are other risks to using a closed source editor but those are mostly orthogonal to this discussion.…

I was surprised people were so willing to jump to closed source IDEs just for access to coding agents. The trade-off you pay for tight integration between the IDE and the coding ag…

Can someone explain to me how and in what way Claude Code is considered "agentic" and Cursor/Gemini CLI/Antigravity are not?

Stealthily degrade the model or stealthily constrain the model with a tighter harness? These coding tools like Claude Code were created to overcome the shortcomings of last year's …

For what it's worth, early statins were originally cleared based only on the evidence that they lower cholesterol without longer term studies showing a reduction in mortality. Of c…

Nor is that inequality an oddity at all. If you were to think NaN should equal NaN, that thought would probably stem from the belief that NaN is a singular entity which is a misund…

> They teach us Scientific Realism in school. I'd argue the opposite is true for anyone who has studied statistics which is largely built on Instrumentalism (think George Box: 'All…

From the paper > Three physicians independently assigned gold-standard triage levels based on cited clinical guidelines and clinical expertise, with high inter-rater agreement

I don't understand this reasoning. Randomizing people to AI vs standard of care is expensive and risky. Checking whether the AI can pass hypothetical scenarios seems like a perfect…

The thinkpad shell could have undergone elastic deformation which could reduce peak force.

I was expecting a system like Leibniz notation, Boolean Algebra, Begriffsschrift, or the notation system in Principia Mathematica

> R is perhaps the closest, because it has data.frame as a 'first class citizen', but most people don't seem to use it, and use e.g. tibbles from dplyr instead. Everyone in R uses …

> html Would be willing to bet this is the issue. Adding html files to context for gemini models results in a ton of token use.

Gptel has been working great for me. I'd be interested in checking this out but I only have so much time to set up and test new tools. What features would make it worthwhile to swi…

I'd be interested in tests involving tasks with large amounts of context. Parallel thinking could conceivably useful for a variety of specific problem types. Having more context th…
