Working on an idea after it has been Sherlocked is a bold choice.

I tried running a simple security review on a Terraform module I made and after some thinking, it responded:

> ● The model returned no content because the response was blocked by content filtering.

> Blocked? We are performing a defensive security review on a Terraform module I made, what's blocked by content filtering? This is a legitimate use-case.

> ● The model returned no content because the response was blocked by content filtering.

A waste of money. I'm not going to just hope that the model returns a response, I'm already for paying for wrong responses, I'm not going to pay for no response, especially when I'm paying per token.

That's an uneducated opinion rather than an unpopular opinion.

I'll never forget the disgust amongst me and my friends when we found out that American television had replaced Attenborough's documentary voice with Oprah fucking Winfrey. Cultural vandalism.

I'm saying people at NASA may want to skew the results for Space Force, not Trump.

I think it's called NASA Force to screw with the search results for Space Force, similar to Boris Johnson saying his hobby was building toy buses, in order to try and reduce the relevancy of the Brexit bus.

Are the Apple-owned app windows inconsistent too? I see some inconsistencies but it's generally 3rd party apps mixed with Apple's apps.

I cancelled and deleted my account and I got an email immediately with a pro-rata refund. You can get that money back.

There's no way you're reviewing 20kloc a day unless all you're doing is the Sandi Metz squint test.

I think the O means order of magnitude. It looks like Big O notation, but O(10) would collapse to O(1) and OP is not talking about efficiency anyway.

If it was a joke (the test suite issue), then it was a really shit joke. It reads more like backtracking, I don't think _you_ should feel any embarrassment.

…and more from Backdrop.

    Hi Daniel, I found your GitHub profile while searching for anthropic projects, and got your email from your profile.

    I'm part of an online program for builders called Backdrop Build, and I think that program would be a great fit given what you are building. We have a track for builders in AI like you, it's fully online/remote and costs nothing to participate. It also works if you have a day job, it's light on time and perfect for side projects!

And then another after I marked the first one as spam and ignored it.

    Checking in one last time to see if you have any questions about the program or the application. If it's not for you, all good - just ignore the email because I won't be pinging you again :)

   Joey from Backdrop

Both companies have guaranteed that I won't use their services nor procure them for any organisation I work for.

I also had unsolicited spam from Vincent Jiang of Aden, another YC company.

    Hi Daniel,

    I just came across your profile on social media and wondered if you'd be interested in joining our Discord community for AI agent development. Currently, we see that agents break, loop, get lost, hallucinate, and cost a fortune, and therefore built a space where developers can share challenges and insights.

Computer programming is cheap. Software engineering is expensive.

…and you can get almost identical features by simply installing the GitHub app inside Slack, and then asking Copilot to work on something, this should take < 5m to set up for any organisation using Slack and GitHub.

People with very little to no skill in software development are spending hundreds of dollars on tokens to fix things for clout, will an extra dollar barrier really slow things down noticeably?
