Every implementation is the same, and no spec exists, so how is it broken?

The article is about office decor, not home decor. While I don't love "modern decor," I don't think offices are meant to feel comforting like a home owned for generations.

How is framing it the way society at large frames it dishonest? That “per transaction” is exactly the kind of nuance that never makes it to the public discussion.

You’re all over this comments section with “biocides” but what the hell even is a biocide? It sounds pretty scary (“life kill! Yikes!”) but a quick search tells me it’s meant to kill harmful things like viruses and mold. Add to that the fact that I’ve never heard it used in the context of pollution, let alone datacenter-based pollution, and I’m inclined to believe you’re not being serious. Also, what processing plants are supposed to be separating water from “biocides and other chemicals”? Are you saying that in an open loop system, none of the water makes it back into the water cycle?

I’ve noticed that A.I. can’t help but talk about Marshall McLuhan when you mention “medium” and “message” for some reason. Personally I don’t find the guy’s “medium is the message” bit to be so insightful as to merit pinning his name to every mention of the phrase, forever. It just seems kind of obvious.

You’re saying you’d rather support a communist government in this matter than your fellow citizens. Thats a cool direction.

And what’s with this “our politics” bs? You don’t think Cuban Americans are as American as you are?

People are dying everywhere all the time. What has communism achieved that it’s worth having these kind of infant mortality rates? I promise you if it weren’t for communism they would have much lower infant mortality rates.

Whatabout the mass suffering communism has caused? Or do you think they would be a perfect utopia if it weren’t for the Us boycott?

I can tell you factory owners aren’t exactly billionaires. There haven’t been rich Cubans coming since the 60’s. But there have been tons of other Cubans coming. They also hate communism. Why else would they leave?

Doesn’t matter what the history of his family is. That’s his stated goal. Or don’t you think they would have returned once Batista was removed from power?

Marco Rubio cares about his own quest to be the man who finally frees Cuba from communism. He doesn’t care about natural resources. It’s a pride thing. And I’m fine with that.

“allow it to change its own harness for better context management, etc”

It gets a little too hand-wavey there. If it were that simple, wouldn’t coding agents be doing this already? In my experience the memories CC creates for itself are like any other LLM writing: overly verbose and full of irrelevant details, often missing the point of the feedback that caused it to create the memory in the first place. LLMs are really bad at knowing how to prompt LLMs, and that makes perfect sense for because they’re incapable of introspection.

I love the research. Those 6 files plus a 2 sentence prompt were probably enough for Claude to one-shot the entire library.

As explained in a child comment, this comment is a callout to other readers, rather than an actual reply to the parent comment. I know that’s been a thing for a long time, but is there a word for this type of comment?
