I don't know; I've never done something like that. If no one else answers, you can always ask Claude itself (or another chatbot). This kind of thing seems tricky to get right, so b…

There is an example of [dis]allowing certain bash commands here: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings As for queries, you might be able to achieve the same thing with usage of …

Your story sounds similar to mine. There are some parts of programming at which I know I will never excel. I also don't have time in my life to spends lots of hours outside of work…

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My personal taste for the presentation of a piece of writing is that less is more. I usually find artwork that accompanies a text to be distra…

Why? To me, hosting previous versions of an article in a public git repo adds transparency. Or perhaps you are talking about GitHub specifically?

> - Is the work faster? It sounds like it’s not faster. The author didn't discuss the speed of the work very much. It is certainly true that LLMs can write code faster than humans,…

This is total speculation, but my guess is that human reviewers of AI-written text (whether code or natural language) are more likely to think that the text with emoji check marks,…

This is a good insight, but do you know of better ways to measure machines' abilities to solve problems in the "messy real world"?

I think it's not only the potential for self-improvement of AGI that is revolutionary. Even having an AGI that one could clone for a reasonable cost and have it work nonstop with i…

This is a key question in my opinion. It's one of the things that make benchmarking the SWE capabilities of LLMs difficult. It's usually impossible to know whether the LLM has seen…

Jonathan Haidt has a lot of good material on this. He is leading the charge in encouraging parents to delay giving their child a phone until high school and not allowing them to ha…

I could be wrong, but I believe the author is referring to cookies being used for session authentication as opposed to general session management.

> There is almost no children available for adoption This is not true, at least in the United States. For one thing, there are many children in foster care who want to be adopted. …

I am interested whether anyone knows how precedented this sort of situation is. It seems like a certain portion of the spectrum was intended to be used for one thing, and now part …

One point I haven't seen made elsewhere yet is that LLMs can occasionally make you less productive. If they hallucinate a promising-seeming answer and send you down a path that you…

My coworker has a similar setup and loves it. Personally, it feels diametrically opposed to the way that I like to use my keyboard. I don't even like holding Shift to type `{`, `_`…

Yes. You can be judged to be intoxicated even if you are under the limit.

What are more cost-effective ways of accomplishing the same goal?

Awesome. I there any chance of this change or something like it getting merged into the rustc compiler?

What language does he program in? ChatGPT and CoPilot have increased my productivity, sure, but I don't know if they've multiplied it by 2, and definitely not 3. I mostly program i…

> Imperative programs describe computations by repeatedly performing implicit effects on a shared global state. Is this necessarily true? In Rust programs, operations do not operat…
