I wish I could see it with fresh eyes without the accumulated knowledge I have of how AI looks. What does this video look like to a person clueless about AI?

What do they think of the constant repetition of slow panning shows where barely anything is happening, or a guy spinning on the floor but his head morphs into his feet and his feet morph into his head, or a person kissing a mirror that isn't quite mirroring the person and it slowly becomes a person kissing what appears to be their identical twin standing on the other side a floating empty mirror frame?

I understood it more in the line of preventing a company from naming itself "Low sugar" and then blocking other companies from adding the words "Low sugar" to their packaging. Same thing with OpenAI, another company should be free to create an AI that's fully open and tag it as "Open AI" without fearing legal problems with OpenAI.

cmd+F mouse movement 3 result, 3/3: "Mouse movement is just one example of the signals Precursor evaluates"

I believe that's the one thing BAM refuses to acknowledge, they have no legal possesion of the lego sets, that's the beginning and end of it. They are trying their damnest to hide that fact behind a consignment/contract/franchise/corporate/arrests/heroin/lawsuit curtain of smoke.

It sucks to treat the workplace as adversarial, but we unfortunately have to as long as companies have the zero-sum mindset of "wow, everyone is so productive and we're achieving so much, why do we have so many people again?"

And I'm not a "at work we're a family!" guy, but I wish we could just be excellent at our jobs and share it with each other without worrying if I'm digging my own grave.

He is not "your avg dev" and it took him 4 months with llm.

To clarify, from TFA:

even before LLMs the implementation was likely something I could do in four months. What changed is that in the same time span, I was able to do a lot more

The initial timeframe was 4 months, he was able to do more work within the same timeframe with LLMs.

You're right to push back. It doesn't — he made it up.

Have you ever tried to run anything from the 80/90s era?

I take it you're agreeing with the sentiment since you had to go back 40-50 years to make your point.

I can feel the frustation, nothing dramatic about expressing it

This quote from the post resonated with me:

I want to get work done and it doesn't want me to get work done. I want to ship software and it doesn't want me to ship software.

The sentiment is shared, and github is not the only service making me feel like that, it feels like everything on the web is more flimsy and low quality nowadays. Constant outages, bugs, UI papercuts, incomplete features, what in the world is going on?

I'm imagining you're doing it because that's how Anthropic prefers to frame it

Correct.

would it be valid to interpret that as an attack as well?

Yup.

Opus 4.7 will replace Opus 4.5 and Opus 4.6

Promotional pricing that will probably be 9x when promotion ends, and soon to be the only Opus option on github, that's insane

Anthropic always summarizes the reasoning output to prevent some distillation attacks

I have a feeling the real reason is them trying to avoid someone using AI to copyright-wash their product, they're just using security as the excuse.

Given how many developers here use LLMs daily, how do you think about defensibility? Tools like this seem relatively easy to reverse-engineer and replicate with enough time and LLM assistance. Did that influence your decision to charge a subscription or the change to a personal license?

the notation is just an array of move tuples, each tuple contains 1 move for white and 1 move for black, where each move is written as <1st letter of piece name><destination square>

TFA intro (emphasis mine):

In this Friday’s magic demonstration, I’m going to show how what you see in Privacy & Security settings can be misleading, when it tells you that an app doesn’t have access to a protected folder, but it really does.
