I've had great results doing this, using flakes seem to make the results quite maintainable

Wow this is a brutal price increase for a lot of plans, at least it appears old user instance prices are grandfathered unless you rescale them.

All the engineers get fired but somehow the managers that constantly destroy brand trust just hang around like cockroaches

Anthropic was pulling ahead of their peers, but if they can't hear their customer's complaints about negatively changing value between releases they're going to undermine their position until no advantage is left.

Anthropic continues to pull ahead of the other ai companies in terms of 'trustworthiness' If they want to really test their red team I hope they look at CUPS

You may not like their analogy but you don't need to be rude.

Octopi doesn't force a search bar, or even a dock. It's actually nice that you can just have icons, widgets, and gestures, I'm really enjoying it.

It's working well here on a pixel 9 pro

This is great information, thanks for taking the time to document and explain your process, this is the kind of nix content we need more of.

Respectfully, please follow the relevant submission guidelines, it keeps things nice here:

and

I appreciate how Claude is credited under authors, seems like a "classy" way to disclose that ai tools were used.

I appreciate your humility, it's hard sometimes to post things online when people are very blunt and unfiltered with their criticism of one's work.

New comment by ilioscio in "Some therapists are using ChatGPT. Clients are triggered"

ilioscio — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 16:05:50 +0000

Two big reasons spring to mind, client privacy and trust. This therapist was quite literally dumping confidential medical information to a third party corporation without telling the patient their information was being shared and disclosed with outside entities. The broader issue if patient trust in the ability or professionalism of the therapist are a whole other issue.

Google is really losing the plot lately, like worse than ever before. The changes to sideloading android apps is perhaps the biggest red flag they've ever thrown. But the new UI updates look largely silly and unhelpful, but maybe I'm being unfair.

Absolutely, it seems to create way more problems than it solves, all while undermining human accuracy and expertise. Feels like a net negative for the species as a whole.

At least from the outside, OpenAI's messaging about this seems obnoxiously deluded, maybe some of those employees left because it starts feels like a cult built on foundations of self importance? Or maybe they really do know some things we don't know, but it seems like a lot of people are eager to keep giving them that excuse.

But then again, maybe they have such a menagerie of individuals with their heads in the clouds that they've created something of an echo chamber about the 'pure vision' that only they can manifest.

If that's true then the punishments aren't really needed?

I think it's better to make these decisions in measured ways, rather than broad sweeping generalities, a shopping mall should have multiple motivations to build a wheelchair ramp before 'penalties' are used. I'm not inherently against enforcing accessibility, but it sucks to go for punishments as a first course of action.
