That's an interesting observation. I wonder if simply prompting for that in your personal system prompt might help?

"Be aware of 'xy problems': when the user asks x but really, they need the answer to y to further their understanding. ..."

The models are so capable now I think a lot of these real limitations can be solved by prompting, harnesses or fine-tuning.

not all of us did that. For many good reasons, too.

This isn't really the point of your comment, and for that I apologise, but I still haven't gotten used to speaking about what we "used to do" in the past tense, as if we are in a post-programming world...

We are already starting to speak of the habits we used to have (or not have), how things used to be done back in the day (1-2 years ago).

I don't think you're wrong to do so. I find myself saying it sometimes too. Just an observation about the weird world we find ourselves in.

Lol fair enough, I stand corrected.

It seems then that their objective is to superficially increase the diversity of results, to avoid bad PR, rather than actually neutralising harmful and untruthful biases of the input data.

This is the first I have herd of this benchmark. Can someone explain how it in any way indicates how close we are to "AGI"?

It seems a weird and arbitrary challenge for a language model to be expected to perform. It also seems like there are some harness/visual issues even in the first few steps, where it states that it hasn't moved when it clearly has.

Do you think they deliberately trained the model to produce images of diverse Nazis?

It is clearly a byproduct of trying to correct an unaligned, bigoted model, and that is an example of overcorrection.

Removing bias ends with truth, not these crazy wonky results.

Unfortunately there is an awful lot of untruth on the internet, if you hadn't noticed. This necessitates some correction through post-training.

C-b + s or C-b + w for switching sessions is most convenient for me, but if I am running multiple sessions I would usually just open a new tab in my emulator (iTerm2) which can be clicked or hotkeyed between.

Anyway, I think multi-session management is a reasonable thing that this thing might improve over tmux, so fair enough.

You can do this. In my current tmux session I have four windows each with a status indicator that shows up when that window is running a claude code session. It is a blue animated braille spinner when it is working, a red dot when it needs attention and a green tick when it is finished with its work.

Claude code exposes a bunch of hooks you can use to have tmux commands execute. This is invaluable if you are multi-tasking and need to see at a glance what needs attention.

wishing it was a little bit more mouse friendly

Can you explain what you struggle to do in tmux with the mouse? I'm using it as we speak and everything is clickable, panes are resizable, right clicking a windows give you a context menu... Not sure what else is missing?

How do you meaningfully use Reddit without an account? Do you really navigate to specific subreddits and read them one by one, rather than assembling a home feed of subs you have joined?

You never want to participate in discussion, or vote on comments and posts?

I don't really understand how you all were regularly browsing and using the site without an account.

That generated video was eye opening for me. I've been using Opus in Claude Code for studying and at work, but it never occurred to me to use 3b1b's excellent python library for generating maths visualisations to let it generate such good graphical demonstrations.

In the README it says

Do I need an account to try it? Not for the core breathing biofeedback; that works without creating one. Some surrounding features in the app use an account; the part this repo is about does not.

I downloaded the app based on this, but you can’t use it at all without creating an account. Please review your AI’s output.

I can’t be the only one for whom `vim README.md` is perfectly good. I’ve never considered the monospaced font a limitation, I prefer it. Coloured rendering works great and is all the visual aid I need to parse quickly.

I can see a table of contents being useful though. Perhaps if `:Toc` doesn’t exist yet, it should.

I’m interested since it’s clear this is a passionate and talented developer, but it seems the primary feature is step tracking, which iPhone already does by default. Is Pedometer++’s step counting somehow more accurate?
