Too bad Google can’t compete in consumer or professional AI either

They teased it as such. Reckless and stupid political stunt.

What exactly is the concern here by Headway? Are they afraid AI deep fakes will be receiving therapy?

Obviously they are doing data collection and selling training data of emotional conversations to AI labs. But what's their stated justification? I can't figure it out.

You aren't allowed to dismiss vibe coded software based on the slop vibes. It must be well-researched and human reviewed in order to have an opinion.

Many libraries have ebooks. I am familiar with the app Libby in parts of the US.

VS codes preview of markdown files scrolls very poorly on my Mac. It jumps around and scrolls slowly through certain sections.

This made me LOL. They keep trying to fleece us by nerfing functionality and then adding it back next release. It’s an abusive relationship at this point.

This was my reading too. Interesting idea, but it took 10 pages of fluff to get to it and I didn't even believe the final idea when we got there. I started off reading the first part and thought he would get to the part where he realized he was managing context wrong. Never got there, instead he thought it was about the shape of the prompt.

Yes, this was super annoying to read. It was some core ideas and it was expanded into a way too long essay that boiled down to this guy doesn't know how to run agents.

Should he be harassed and deported for this?

Top of the line models still routinely get this wrong. This is just "make no mistakes" with more steps.

There are a lot of missing parts to the story. If we assume the author left out everything that made them look bad, and including only what makes them look good then the result is a very incomplete feeling article.

For example: they asked for guidance and then the very next thing is them being fired. How did they respond to the coworker? Something is off here - the coworker who had messaged him about non-work topics TWO days in a row - then immediately reported him for his reply. What?

It definitely is. I got partway through and then realized it just keeps going without a point. Classic hallmark of AI writing.

My apologies. I was responding to the fact that animals and humans have base instincts that steer us towards bad food choices or over-stimulations. I was considering those instincts as the incentives that can't be changed.

On a macro scale, yes I agree that we should revolt against campaigns designed to exploit our animal nature. However on a personal basis, I do believe we owe it to ourselves to take radical responsibility over our own reactions to those things.

You can't control the incentives, you can only control your reactions to those incentives.

Claude code can output Excalidraw format files which can be imported directly into the webapp. You can MCP it too if you want.

People would struggle to review code in a completely unfamiliar domain or part of the stack even before LLMs.

I noticed that too, I had to re-read it a few times to make sure I was understanding it properly, it seemed so out of place. Then I read the rest of the article and realized this guy has zero perspective on anything.

I see a good case for my company to use Lit for creating complex components such as highly interactive panels/widgets to be shared between React/Angular apps in our large ecosystem. However the decision was: 1. Prefer sharing plain JS/TS over framework code so try that first and 2. if the component is so complex and tricky to get right, it probably needs to be re-implemented in each framework anyways (or some sort of wrapper)

My secondary concern with Lit is the additional complexity of using shadow and light DOM together in long lived React/Angular apps. Adding a new paradigm for 75+ contributors to consider has a high bar for acceptance.

I just evaluated Lit for work and while we didn't go with it, it was very nice. I love the base custom elements API regardless of using Lit or not, turns out that's all you really need to make intricate UIs that feel seamless.

Props to Sean for this post. I have found his writings to be much closer to how I’ve learned to understand my career and companies than many standard reddit/HN posts portray things.

and around and around we'll go again!

Schmoozers learned grit and grind? That's opposite of my experience and observations.

What role do you play in the educational neglect? I am not sure I understand the decline here.

AI probably generated all of that and the OP didn't even review its output.

RIP, end of an era. Thank you everyone who worked on this, it was an extraordinarily useful and reliable project.

Aren't all these transactions checked by a human after the fact? IIRC I interviewed someone who worked on this and thats what they said.

Contrary to the OP, there is a useless chatbot on the Amazon homepage ("Rufus" sparkle button).

ANPRs are very popular and common in the EU. More so than in the US, even.

I don't want to deal with prompt injection attacks leading to being swatted. That's where all this reporting to the authorities is leading and it's not looking fun.

Is being dead better, or is having complete privacy better? Or does it depend?

I know you're being provocative, but this feels like a false dichotomy. Mental health professionals are pro-privacy AND have mandatory reporting laws based on their best judgement. Do we trust LLMs to report a suicidal person that has been driven there by the LLM itself?

LLMs can't truly be controlled and can't be designed to not encourage mentally ill people to kill themselves.

Mentally ill people trying to use an LLM for therapy

Yes indeed this is one of the core problems. I have experimented with this myself and the results were highly discouraging. Others that don't have the same level of discernment for LLM usage may mistake the confidence of the output for a well-trained therapist.

Or maybe I just want to be able to talk to an LLM without worrying about if its going to report me to the authorities.
