As opposed to Claude which has flagged:

- anything related to piracy

- legit security work (audit my infra, pentest it)

- disabling a safety mechanism on my food processor

- reverse engineering

- creating style guides inspired by other games/companies (for fan projects)

- questions about how nerve agents work and how they can be treated (for a layman)

Sorry I am not saying that X technology is not important, transformative, etc.

I am saying that the average person is going to want to just have things that work. They are not going to want to have a hobby of using X technology.

It doesn't matter how much you lower the barrier to entry on making apps, websites, games, whatever. Most people are just going to want something that is ready and off-the-shelf.

I mean, why do people pick an iPhone over a cheaper Android even if they are functionally similar? Aside from the (valid) green-bubble/social aspect, it's a much more polished product.

Am I wrong in thinking you could do this with ffmpeg, your video files, and your data from Strava/Garmin/whatever? This feels like a program an LLM (or human!) could write pretty easily

I wrote about this a few years ago [0]

It's _really_ hard to break the phone habit. I was in a good place for a few years but have recently been spending time on Reddit.

It's not the end of the world. Ultimately I think going back to Reddit is because I recently haven't had the patience to really read, reflect, etc.

Respecting the reader means:

- Understanding what you wrote

- Verifying correctness of any claims

- Putting in at least as much effort writing as your audience will reading

- Not sharing generated content if you can't do the above. If you must, then explicitly disclaiming your use of AI

It does not mean "prompting AI better"

Strong disagree on this.

I have Claude/Codex keep logs [1]. It's just prompted in my AGENTS.md [0].

Every session must produce one of: a session log OR a plan, and end with a written summary appended to it. Default to a log; reserve plans for substantive design work.

It's incredibly valuable. For example today I started a few sessions off like this:

- What's the status of my work on Renovate?

- I was recently working on X, find that

- Did we fix the issue with backups? What are the next steps?

- This bug came up again. Didn't we fix it already?

I have a gaming PC and a steam deck. My goal was to use my steam deck as a steam link (their old streaming hardware) w/ a Xbox controller

Both are connected via Ethernet and actually the video quality was very very good, and input lag was completely fine.

Unfortunately there were so many issues. I want a console like experience where I can just decide that i want to pick up a controller and play.

With this setup I have to unlock windows which is annoying. Also often times something gets stuck so I have to walk to the desktop to fix/click around, or it plays audio via PC, or I have to disable HDR, etc.

The only possible conclusion is that it’s designed to cause panic.

Really? That's the only possible conclusion?

Anthropic has _always_ positioned itself as a company that cares about AI safety.
