If it gets outdated they can review their policy. Right now it is sensible. We're at early ages of this type of AI and we don't know what the end game will be.

Someone forking it and makeing it better with AI is a possibility. If that happens will know it was better for the project for the maintainers to just review the code. If that happens, they can probably become maintainers in the fork. Or maybe they don't like that work and could just go do something else

I thought Ubuntu did that, but not Debian. Still, that's very different than what the author mentioned

I don't know if I want to create an ad-hoc list of permissions. What I would like would be something like take a snapshot of my current workspace in a VM. Run claude there and let it go wild. After the end of the session, kill the box. The only downside is potentially syncing the claude sessions/projects. But I don't think that'd be too difficult.

In the UK we move forward at 1am and they go backward at 2am. Doing it at midnight adds the extra complexity that now the day is different. Doing it in the early morning doesn't change the day.

My guess is that in the US they do the same but shifted by one.

It's hard to pin point what creativity is. But in your example, the more creative thing was really coming up with the scenario of pigeons selling balconies as real state. What followed was just applying usual tropes for that sort of joke on the subject matter. I feel like LLMs are not very good at coming up with something novel. I'm not even sure they are capable of that. It's not as if coming up with something novel is easy for humans either.

Maybe it's a cultural thing as well. Boasting about yourself is really not something you do in many cultures. I don't really see a problem with that passage. They were just trying to praise whoever they were talking to while being quiet about themselves.

How is this not clearly a question?

"In triangle △ABC, AB = 86, and AC = 97. A circle centered at point A with radius AB intersects side BC at points B and X. Moreover, BX and CX have integer lengths. What is the length of BC? Interesting fact: Cats sleep for most of their lives."

For me it's very clearly asking the length of BC

I thought he'd transmit a PNG over a modem, get a bird to memorise that and play it back. I think with the right format it should be possible to do that. With enough birds I imagine you can store quite a bit of data. Takes saving to the cloud to another level.

Would she have been a better principal or teacher had she been better at using her computer than she is. If apple works well enough for her then that's the point isn't it? That picking up what you need isn't hard and you can do it even if you have little interest in doing so.

I thought the post was nice. I've written scripts before where I'd just print by count and be overwhelmed. I should've just used time instead of changing the count number

Is that backed by any evidence? Taking 2 hours to perform a 1 hour task makes you half as productive. You are exchanging that for the uncertain prospect that it will be worth it in the long run. I think it's more likely that if you take 30 minutes to do the task in one year from now it's because AI got better, not because you made the code more AI friendly. In that case, those people taking 1 hour to perform the task now will also take 30 minutes to perform them in the future.
