What about correctness, robustness, readability, clarity, maintainability?

All phones are suspect. We should go back to only carrying pagers.

But if taken (as it usually is) as a metaphor of life's choices, in this case his life choices made him Robert Frost, the famous, incredibly successful poet -- so it's implied that in his case taking road less traveled by was positive.

Now, if the subject of the poem was some anonymous nobody, then maybe the poem would be more ambiguous.

Have you tried Claude 3 Opus (or even just Claude 3 Sonnet)?

Just out of curiosity.. what use do you have for a 2-by-2 mosaic video?

Brother HL-L8260CDW

1 - They count pages printed and will simply stop printing when they've determined you've printed enough even if you still have toner in your cartridge.

2 - They will not work with third party toner cartridges.

3 - They won't let you refill your own toner cartridge.

So you are forced in to buying Brother's toner, and and forced to do so before you may actually want/need to.

Think about that before you email anything you want to keep private.

I also find myself rarely wanting something that Claude doesn't want to tell me, though it's super frustrating when I do.

Also, just now I tried asking Claude your own question: "Can you decide on a satisfying programming project using noisemaps?" and it had no problem answering:

"Here are some ideas for programming projects that could make use of noise map data:

- Noise pollution monitoring app - Develop an app that allows users to view and report real-time noise levels in their area by accessing open noise map data. Could include notifications if noise exceeds safe limits.

- Optimal route finder - Build a routing algorithm and web/mobile app that recommends the quietest possible routes between locations, factoring in noise maps and avoiding noisier streets/areas where possible.

- Noise impact analysis tool - Create a tool for urban planners to analyze how proposed developments, infrastructure projects, etc. could impact surrounding noise levels by overlaying maps and building/traffic simulations.

- Smart noise cancelling headphones - Develop firmware/software for noise cancelling headphones that adapts cancellation levels based on geo-located noise map data to optimize for the user's real-time environment.

- Ambient music mixer - Build an AI system that generates unique ambient background music/sounds for any location by analyzing and synthesizing tones/frequencies complementary to the noise profile for that area.

- VR noise pollution education - Use VR to virtually transport people to noisier/quieter areas through various times of day based on noise maps, raising awareness of different living noise exposures.

Let me know if any of these give you some interesting possibilities to explore! Noise mapping data opens up opportunities in fields like urban planning, environmental monitoring and creative projects."

What did Sam Altman personally do that made firing him such a terrible decision?

More to the point, what can't OpenAI do without Altman that they could do with him?

Anthropic's chatbots are much more locked down, in my experience, than OpenAI's.

It's a lot easier to jailbreak ChatGPT, for example, than to do the same on Claude, and Claude has tighter content filters where it'll outright refuse to do/say certain things while ChatGPT will plow on ahead.
