Of course it's hard to write sympathetically about cheaters, but this is exactly the sort of nonsense you'd expect from installing a hostile kernel extension.

This level of conversion isn't exactly trivial but it also isn't rocket surgery for the kind of person who pulls an engine out for rebuild on a classic car project.

Seems like an agent given 20-30 tool calls like "read_sms" "matter_command", and "send_email" would be able to work out what to do for things like "set the house to 72° and text Laura that I did it."

I probably have 5 or 6 things installed on my Mac like Scroll Reverse and Rectangle, just trying to beat the window manager into something that resembles useable.

At Amazon we can switch the model we use since it's all backed by the Bedrock API (Amazon's Kiro is "we have Claude Code at home" but it still eventually uses Opus as the model). I suppose this means the issue isn't confined to just Claude Code. I switched back to Opus 4.5 but I guess that won't be served forever.

With this, the John Deere approach to gatekeeping vehicle repair would no longer be legally protected by the DMCA or by copyright law. All the other protections afforded by copyright law would still apply: you cannot rip the firmware off the hardware and distribute it, the manufacturer is under no obligation to help you modify it, etc.

However, tools which patch or circumvent antifeatures of the firmware would now be legal to use on hardware you own: it would be legal to patch out software locks, retune engine computers, etc.

The less passive-aggressive version is to use this obviously-unhelpful answer of the obviously-unhelpful question, to actually have a conversation to get the PM to recognize that the default state of a ticket is in fact "no change." Ultimately that may turn into a stale bot if the PM realizes the policy they actually want is some sort of timeout, but at least it's not a time consuming meeting!

(Note, a cathartic thought experiment, but not really good manners to actually do!)

This essay has several: Sentence structures, heading phrasing, and yes, dashes. I expect people know to start steering LLMs away from em dashes at this point though.

It's really eye opening and frustrating to see children be stubborn just for the sake of it. They're literally still developing and it's normal, but they are just too young to reason with. You have to create the environment where positive feedback happens, and... wait a very long time for them to work it out.

1. Seeing a problem with having a dirty diaper

2. Recognizing (at least subconsciously) that on balance, using the bathroom will be easier than waiting to have your diaper changed

3. Being willing to react positively (not obstinately) to parents' reminders to use it

4. Being able to focus enough to, say, not play in the water, and old enough to practice all the steps.

And that's just to practice. Even if they're all of the above, they'll still take time.
