All of the concepts SOMA explored were already familiar to me, but the experience of exploring the through the game was so much stronger than reading about them in a text book. Such a strong, lasting effect, I wish I could play it again for the first time.

Yeah I want to know how many people are using AI for social purposes; to provide the role of a friend. But I don’t know what category that would be under.

This must apply to Firefox itself, right?

I never understood this quote. I happily gave up the freedom of driving without a seatbelt for security, what does that say about me?

People want age restrictions on social media; this seems like politicians enacting the will of their constituents

New comment by crummy in "Medical journal says the case reports it has published for 25 years are fiction"

crummy — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 21:42:31 +0000

> While the instructions for authors for Paediatrics & Child Health has at times indicated the case reports are fictional, that disclosure has never appeared on the journal articles themselves.

Sounds like they were asking authors for fiction, so probably plenty of them are.

Presumably you might also get better rates for a mortgage, to be fair.

Isn’t the news that “curl whatever” will prompt the user for confirmation but “env curl whatever” won’t?

crummy — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 03:21:30 +0000

Should humans tolerate contracts that say “you may not use this thing in this particular way”

I just set up an iPhone and it asked me if I was (roughly) a child, a teenager, or an adult. So some of this stuff is already here.

New comment by crummy in "I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk"

crummy — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:49:16 +0000

Won’t that require an act of congress? How likely does that seem?

On the other hand, pretending the government is acting in good faith is probably acting in bad faith at this point.

So... Should the bus stops be even closer together?

New comment by crummy in "Claude Sonnet 4.6"

crummy — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 18:27:18 +0000

Opus is supposed to be the expensive-but-quality one, while Sonnet is the cheaper one.

So if you don't want to pay the significant premium for Opus, it seems like you can just wait a few weeks till Sonnet catches up
