I do however know a lot of successful engineers crediting programming on TI-8* graphing calculators to getting them into programming...

I wonder what the best modern equivalent would be? Perhaps web/JS is easy enough to get into these days?

Gemini does the same (though not with health data). The only way to opt out of training on your data is to disable all Gemini chat history.

Gemini is also the only major provider where you can't opt out of using your data for training without disabling chat history.

New comment by makeramen in "Banning All Anthropic Employees"

makeramen — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 23:36:50 +0000

You don’t think openai, google and other companies’ employees don’t do the same thing?

Of all the companies where employees are ghost-contributing llm code, Anthropic would be pretty low on my list to ban.

Oh man, I ported this to the TI-89 back in 7th grade and made it slightly more school appropriate calling it “pop wars”, trading soda from different machines at different schools instead of drugs.

It will sometimes do this for gitignored files to avoid reading secret tokens in env files for example. But for certain languages that rely on code generation this can be a pain.

makeramen — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 21:04:24 +0000

Ah I just started using ghostty maybe a week ago and I mostly use quick terminal so I might be missing the panes on the regular windows.

Zellij has been holding me over with tabs and panes (in quick terminal) while I wait for them to come to ghostty directly.

Tabs (and panes? I haven't tried yet) should work fine for regular terminal windows though.

The DoW wants to only be beholden to the laws, and not to Anthropics TOS.

So the question is: do you trust the government to effectively govern its own use of AI? or do you trust Anthropic's enforcement of its TOS?

New comment by makeramen in "The Robotic Dexterity Deadlock"

makeramen — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 20:28:18 +0000

I see it as trying to apply the bitter lesson to robotics. Specialized robots will always have their place, but humanoid ones can take advantage of all the design interfaces that already exist in the world for humans.

Similar to how claude code gained so much traction in terminal by just leveraging the command line interface that already exists for humans, no need to invent a domain specific MCP to just run shell commands.

I agree with you that it's far from the most efficient approach for specific tasks. But the analogy would be that you also generally don't want to use LLMs to do something you can "just" write a script for... that doesn't make LLMs useless though.

Both can be true. I have personally experienced both.

Some problems AI surprised me immensely with fast, elegant efficient solutions and problem solving. I've also experienced AI doing totally absurd things that ended up taking multiple times longer than if I did it manually. Sometimes in the same project.

> The fact that I can unlock and relock the bootloader is not a security issue or a risk. People who don't know what that means cannot possibly do it by mistake.

The second sentence is false. Lots of people blindly follow things and don't understand consequences until they brick their devices. Those who don’t break something won’t notice if they’ve silently backdoored themselves.

People asking for support after getting themselves into some weird hole they never should have been in because some friend or online article said so is super common.

That seems like a typo or incorrect info, the M5 MBP definitely can be configured up to 32 GB, and the Apple page mentions 32 GB explicitly as well.
