Amazing piece of software. I discovered it very recently when my screen OLED stopped working.

A query created by a human and reviewed by at least 1 other human becomes static after it's merged. But the query from an LLM is dynamic, it can change between two calls in the same session if the LLm sees a reason to change it, and there is no review pipeline and QA stage.

This is the "lesser evil" trick politicians use to silence the opposition.

It's more useful to have access your full code base compared to having access to only your input and the output they generate.

The folks at Wall Street do not understand this does not replace Figma.

Figma is targeted towards designers who create thoughtful design systems and cohesive UIs and who don't code, while this is targeted towards vibe coders who can't design. Two different circles that intersect to some level.

But like you said, if anthropic adds the tools in Figma, only then they can can take customers from Figma IMO.

If only most people leave them and it affects their bottom line.

> The other thing I worry about is the level of violence we're likely to see if a significant chunk of the population is made permanently unemployed.

No worries, they'll just make AI robots to shoot people.

Bilal_io — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 22:47:24 +0000

Not sure what the technical challenge here is either. I use an ad blocker and I assumed YouTube already counted my view, since the video can be found in my YouTube history.

I think it has to with the audience, or a platform. A young farmer would probably pretend to know a lot and even talk to impress if you put an audience in front of them.

It depends on the browser you're using, Brave is obfuscating a lot of this info, for me using Brave on Android it shows 100% battery while my actual battery is 62%.

Congratulations on the launch! I really hope it doesn't get used to launch misinformation campaigns against the country.

Are you aware of any effort to educate and fight against misinformation in Pakistan?

Not sure what the size has to do with anything.

I send you a 500kb Windows .exe file and claim it runs literally everywhere.

Would it be ignorant to say anything against it because of its size?

I am not a heavy user of Claude in any way, sometimes I go days without using it. And I've hit the limit a week ago. Now with the limit changing to per week, I am 100% canceling my subscription. I'll likely spend a max of $5 using an API key.

No, they'd be sharing the man's photo, name and phone number if I am not mistaken, and obviously without his consent.
