As someone who did make the jump, it was actually a lot easier than I anticipated. I encourage others to do the same. The only games I can't play are some AAA multiplayer games I wasn't particularly interested in anyways.

One of the most provably false statements of all time

I think theirs was the right conclusion, but for the wrong reason. If there was anything really damning, Iran would rather use that as leverage.

The fact that they released it publicly means that the most embarrassing part of it is just the hack in itself.

One of my favorite games of all time. An incredible kind of puzzle, oozing with its own weird style.

Yes. A lot of people are happy when housing prices rise, because it benefits them. But higher housing prices are worse for us as a society.

Similarly, higher gas prices benefit the gas industry but we shouldn't let that dictate policy.

: unfortunately, we somewhat do.

Isn't the parent article basically evidence of this? Housing supply grew, and prices fell.

It’s a lot easier to escape Microsoft if for the one or two tools that still require windows, you can just emulate windows.

Modeling is hard. Some did, some didn’t. Generally we have historically underestimated climate change.

I tried to write a different "convince an AI" game about a year ago, but it was hard to work with, hard to figure out a business-model for, and more importantly-- it just wasn't very fun to play. Maybe there's a different scenario than the one I chose.

You're misunderstanding. What this paper did-- Those three physicians set a ground truth to compare the AI response to.

What people in this thread are asking for-- Evaluate a set of doctors on those cases as well, and compare doctor vs AI accuracy.

If we're going to do this at all, it should be on the device, not the website/app. Parents flag their child's device or browser as under 18, and websites/apps follow suit. Parents get the control they're looking for, while service providers don't have to verify or store IDs. I guess it's just more difficult to pressure big dogs like google/apple/mozilla for this than pornhub and discord.

Ask your claude to make a cron to wake itself up. Done.

How do you enforce this? You have a system where the agent can email people, but cannot email "too many people" without a password?

A new The Terror? The one that came out some years ago was incredible, and very under-discussed I think.

The saddest part to me is that their status update page and twitter are both out of date. I get a full 500 on github.com and yet all I see on their status page is an "incident with pull requests" and "copilot policy propagation delays."

Yes, the title is exaggerated. But I think a lot of you are underestimating the societal impact of roughly half a billion climate refugees. That kind of destabilization could easily lead to societal collapse, world war, etc...

The Syrian refugee crisis meant something like a million people fleeing into Europe and it caused massive political upheavals.

And the company I worked for hired a full devops team to save us like 5 grand per month on Heroku, only to end up with a much worse developer experience.

I just tell it to do so, but you could even add that as a requirement to CLAUDE.md

I agree, but I've found that making an "adversarial" model within claude helps with the quality a lot. One agent makes the change, the other picks holes in it, and cycle. In the end, I'm left with less to review.

This sounds more like an automation of that idea than just N-times the work.
