<p>This article says that by using a smaller unit of measure, the measured coastline increases.<p>The concept of dimension in fractals is backed by a similar idea! Take the Koch curve for example, at any iteration it gets longer and its 1-dimensional length loses the usual meaning because it diverges to infinity as you continue iterating. Intuitively the fractal dimension allows you to calculate how fast the measurement increases as the scale to measure it gets smaller.<p>In a more precise way, for most  self-similar fractal made of N copies of itself, each scaled by factor r, the dimension is defined as:
D = log(N)/log(1/r)<p>In the case of Koch curve it’s 1.2619...</p>

<p>The real issue isn’t that Claude is down, it can happen. The problem is that the status page doesn’t report anything, even if it has been impossible to log in during the past hour. Status pages should be trusted, connected to real metrics and not fake pr stuff :/<p>EDIT: Now they show the issue, kudos to them! Transparency is the key to build trust. No body expects a perfect service, thanks Claude team for your efforts.</p>

<p>The thing is very simple: when watching TV I need to adjust my schedule to the shows I'd like to watch. With youtube (or any streaming platform), I can see them whenever I want, the platform adapts to my schedule.<p>Of course there are some exceptions, for example when I want to watch my national football team, I'd like to watch it live. Luckily, that won't be a problem anymore this year (Italy).</p>

<p>After one year and half of service, my HP printer updated (without my consent) and blocked the third-party ink cartridge I’ve been using for months without troubles.
Luckily, I bought it on Amazon so I just returned it and bought a Brother printer that has been working fine since then.
The best way to stop a brand from doing bullshit practices is showing your friends how easy it is to avoid them. Just buy a Brother and HP won’t have any cent more from me.</p>

<p>This is a consequence of introducing LLMs in software development. If you imagine it as a pyramid that starts from the bottom, the easiest tasks that happen more frequently, to the top, the hardest challenges that happen once in a while, LLMs can definitely help in automating the base of such pyramid, leaving the human with an harder job to do because now he statistically encounters harder tasks more often.<p>If this is the price to pay to unlock this productivity boost, so be it but let’s keep in mind that:<p>- we need to be more careful not to burnout since our job became de facto harder (if done at the maximum potential);<p>- we always need to control and have a way to verify what LLMs are doing on the easiest tasks, because even if rarely, they can fail even there (...but we had to do this anyway with Junior devs, or didn’t you?)</p>
