> a jury found that the company knowingly harmed children’s mental health and concealed what it knew about child sexual exploitation on its platforms

There are lots of indicators in this text, and this breathless presentation is very much how modern LLMs present things. Claude also loves to describe things as being "real", parti…

> At the end of the day, a Magnum is a choc ice This feels like slander! No matter how true it is. It's hard to describe just how much better the ice-cream in a magnum was than the…

This is on me for opening that link on a computer without an ad-blocker, but I got straight up attacked by adverts as I tried to scroll to the end.

At this point, any package adding a pre-install hook where there previously was not one should be denied and treated with extreme suspicion. It's time pre-install / post-install ho…

I wonder what this measures in J/token.

It probably already is against their ToS, they just don't want to make an example out of anyone yet.

I'm on similar plan through work ( Teams max ), and I've only ever reached the limits by backgrounding large exploratory feasibility studies while also getting on with actual work.…

I'm still on the fence whether Yegge is being satirical, some phrases are just too on-the-nose: > Gas Town was intended to be reusable, but I only ever wound up using it to build i…

The pricing page with "12 sold today!" comes across as incredibly fake and possibly illegally so. Also amusing to badge the Pro as "popular" when the "numbers" show it isn't. Then …

I don't like using the term "AI psychosis" because it originally meant a narrow definition resulting in genuine psychosis and acute mental health trauma, but seems to have widened …

A really frustrating partial presentation, given an apparent lack of testing with a spread of efforts for each model. Given that there's no reason to believe that Fable's xhigh is …

Would you care to cite the statistics you have showing higher per-capita accidental electric shock deaths? I'm struggling to find any.

And yet: https://marginlab.ai/trackers/claude-code-historical-perform... There's clearly random variation, but it also shows each model release is just genuinely better. ( With the…

Sure, but it's at the point now where it can autocomplete a fragment of a sketch of an idea into a complete working product.

I wasn't especially surprised fable use was extended, but I was just surprised it was snuck out so quietly with no announcement.

They kept this really quiet, I was expecting to have lost fable access when I got into work, only to discover it's just part of the plan. Excellent news, and thank you to the enter…

I probably shouldn't even engage, so hopefully this doesn't come across as too patronising. If you're genuinely confused about the statement in question, let's break it down. > One…

I've been using regex decades, but it never really stuck to do anything too complex, it was the perfect intersection of difficult and infrequent. ( And also variable - PCRE vs othe…

If you're going to be pedantic, at least first check you're correct. Conclude - verb - to bring to an end.

While this is a great idea that no-doubt does help some people, beware this doesn't clean up all traces in the browser, and private/incognito is better at not keeping a history. Fo…

That's true of some things, but sometimes there are things that exist, but google no longer reliably surfaces in a way that it once did. Search anything and you are bombarded with …

I cheated and looked at the source: There are 60 quotes. So expect ~280 refreshes to collect 'em all.
