No I am not. What you're demonstrating is exactly the basis for why the new usage is spreading. Poster 2 has raised a disagreement with the original claim. There was no implied rul…

That argument only works if someone states the exception from the start , not when someone makes the claim while using the term.

The term is often also used simply as claiming the existence of a rule by claiming the exception. It's one of those terms where I am pretty confident that I see the original use mo…

> By that logic, the fact that (some) people can't tell between gold and fool's gold is strong evidence that gold was not what they value at all. Well, no? Most people don't value …

Keep in mind that marketing is not just trying to teach you about someone you're unaware of, but is also in part about assuring you (and your boss) that you're about to make the ri…

I also don't think closed source is going to work for any software where you can't aggressively prevent the user from introspecting a large chunk of the software, because it's so e…

This doesn't sound like it's decompiled - the comments mentions a leaked source.

The power supply concern is real, but it's also "just" a regulatory issue. The UK has some expectations of paying for impact on the upstream power network, but the requirements are…

To me it's very easy: If I want to do a change by hand for the joy of doing that, I do. But if I want a piece of functionality now and don't want to set aside time to build it, I l…

Fully agree with this. Also did lots of 6502 assembly, and also love doing agent-driven development. I also still like writing code manually and tweaking everything for myself, but…

We've "imported" this concern to the UK too, largely driven by the same issues seemingly whipped up by US lack of regulation much more than local examples (that's not to say there …

"claude -p" All of the main agent CLI's provides a demonstration that it is possible because they're all callable as a CLI. Several of them, like Codex, Kimi CLI, Pi, OpenCode are …

It was already possible, but it requires 1) an MCP server that terminates connections, and/or 2) for both the client and the servers to gracefully handle terminations and reconnect…

The core advantage MCP gave you was a standard that by virtue of being blessed by AI providers people had strong incentives to actually implement.

It's hard to find specific surveys covering exactly that, but given the widespread belief among US adults that we are living in the end-times and beliefs in being raptured, 25% if …

I'm born in Norway in 1975, and in the early 80's, while we didn't have "duck and cover" we had regular air-raid siren tests and my primary schools basement was a bomb shelter that…

Reading Philip K. Dick's short stories in publication order is also quite something in that respect. It was so pervasive in his early stories.

I much prefer the taste of farmed salmon. It's not just cost.

Even if that turns out to be true, rather than it starting to hit a ceiling where we can expect it to not consistently go in a single direction it does not alter anything I wrote, …

It's also a first time decline afterany decades of steady increases. We have no basis for determining causality - it might just be that we've finally maxed out the possible gains f…

Look up the Flynn effect. You're right in the first paragraph, but wrong about the direction.

No, in the experiment in question, the experimenters made the choice, and claimed to the brain half that couldn't observe that the one that could made the choice. That is how we kn…
