It's like switching to jujutsu gives people some kind of mental permission to do this - jujutsu justifies its existence just by that alone, really.

Even even worse, angry all-caps shouting will make it more stupid, because it pushes you into a significantly stupider vector subspace full of angry all-caps shouting. The only thing that can possibly save you then is if you land in the even tinier Film Crit Hulk sub-subspace.

I touch on this a bit in the piece I wrote for normies, it helped a lot of people I know understand the tech a bit better.

No, you can do it on all the major providers for either no or low cost.

Many people use it like this - this is playing to its strengths, rather than trying to work around its weaknesses. "What's the idiomatic X language way to do Y?" gets you a solid, useful answer in seconds.

But it's just a damn good tool, not the apocalypse/the thing that lets you finally fire everyone. So it kind of gets lost in the hype.

>Cornell, for example, had a limited capacity to pay software developers to maintain and upgrade the site, which still has a very no-frills look and feel.

arXiv is doomed. It was nice while it lasted.

Tools eat up so much context space, too. By contrast the shell tool is trained into Claude.

Now this is a definite human comment, shoehorned in xkcd links are a huge human tell.

It's very unclear to me why AI companies are so focused on using LLMs for things they struggle with rather than what they're actually good at; are they really just all Singularitarians?

I'm baffled that people, unknown to me, have apparently been considering Claude Code, the program, some kind of "secret sauce". It's a tool harness. Claude could one-shot write it for you, lol.

No, the Japanese imperial calendar oddness is that it's otherwise exactly the Gregorian calendar, but the era may change midyear.

Well, Claude has the best personality in a field where the rest are in a race to make the most awful personality. That's kind of a moat. The models were smarter too though the others have largely caught up, especially Gemini.

I'll be sad when $20 a month Claude goes away.

Bubbles bursting aren't bad unless you were overinvested in the bubble. Consider that you'll be wiping your ass with DIMMs once this one bursts; I can always put more memory to good use.

Eastern Europe starts at your home country's eastern border. E.g., if you're Russia, it's Japan and Alaska.

These are actually all problems with using Github as an ersatz CDN.
