> Where’s the hole in this argument?

The unrealistic assumptions - the argument started by assuming that resources are unlimited. Most of economics is expected to break down from that starting point. The point of all the models is theorising about how people will distribute limited resources.

It is like talking about the market for air or trying to measure its supply/demand curves. They are completely degenerate because it is too abundant for anything meaningful to be said.
Careful -- a solo dev using it professionally, meaning, coding with it as a pair coder (XP style), can easily spend $1500/week.
That repo is just there for issue reporting right now - https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues - it doesn't contain the tool's source code.

Does Claude Code let me take a generated/edited artifact and commit it back as a PR?
this reminds me my experience: when I went to Salt Lake City and wanted to try Turkish food and picked nearest Turkish restaurant with the the highest reviews from google maps.

Interior was authentic and nice, but the food turned out to be AWFUL, kebab was burnt to ashes, everything food wise was horrible.

When I complained, the cook came back and apologized, and I saw the cook was White American. Not saying all Americans are bad cooks, but in my experience I would have expected turkish chef to cook turkish food for authentic experience and quality.
Warm grapes, sure.

Everything about democracy is great except its people. You know, the big brained carbon lifeforms that refer to themselves as “citizens”.
There was another response (flagged now) saying that pro-Trump support was pan-political. I agree with that as well.

As far as actually engaging, that's the fundamental problem! Most of his support was basically founded on rejecting discussion and reason, voting the gut feeling of something latched on to from one of the many conflicting things he said, while being happy with other people's frustration because you've pigeonholed them into "the other". Like I'm a libertarian, I personally share many of the frustrations and criticisms that got Trump elected! Yet you've seemingly assumed some caricature of me where I've got a narrow understanding with "cherished viewpoints".
There’s no source code in that repo.
Vector search for code can be quite interesting - I've used it for things like "find me code that downloads stuff" and it's worked well. I think text search is usually better for code though.
Fair enough but I still think the current thing is in a different category.

As a kind of argument that way you can check out Wait But Why's "The AI Revolution" which kind of argues the other way from Zitron's "There Is No AI Revolution", especially if you scroll to the animation of a lake filling up about half way down. Bear in mind the animation was done in 2013 https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revol...

In early January, inspired by a post by Simon Willison, I had Claude 3.5 Sonnet write a couple of stand-up comedy routines as done by an AI chatbot speaking to a mixed audience of AIs and humans. I thought the results were pretty good—the only AI-produced humor that I had found even a bit funny.

I tried the same prompt again just now with Claude 3.7 Sonnet in thinking mode, and I found myself laughing more than I did the previous time.

An excerpt:

[Conspiratorial tone]

Here's a secret: when humans ask me impossible questions, I sometimes just make up an answer that sounds authoritative.

[To human section]

Don't look shocked! You do it too! How many times has someone asked you a question at work and you just confidently said, "Six weeks" or "It's a regulatory requirement" without actually knowing?

The difference is, when I do it, it's called a "hallucination." When you do it, it's called "management."

Hotel restaurants are feature placebo. They are give the impression of added value/fanciness, even if they are rarely accessed by value-conscious guests.
The Thai government practices gastro-diplomacy, they have a program where you set a Thai restaurant up in a foreign country, you can pick from three different packages for size or fanciness of restaurant. It's why you see a lot of the same decorations and similarities between differently owned Thai restaurants, or occasionally a family will own a number in a metro area.

Totally agree but I would expand location into convenience. For example, I find restaurants that don't take reservations or have limited hours are often better.

In my head I have a category for reliable restaurants to go to when you are planning something with people and you want to make sure to have a consistent, predictable experience and restaurants that are worth waiting for or going at a weird time.
I'm still not sure I get the difference between 1 and 2. What is "pulls up some associated data into the context" vs ""intentionally"/agentically triggers a lookup for some topic"?
And Apple Watch still sucks as an actual watch vs a Casio.
Also called DaaS, "discrimination as a service"
Based on the empirical evidence from OP, this seems correct. But there's a theoretical argument for why "good location" and "actually good" should be positively correlated:

1. Good locations are more expensive.

2. People are willing to pay more for better food.

3. Therefore (all else equal), better restaurants earn more revenue.

4. Therefore, better restaurants have a higher willingness-to-pay on rent.

5. Therefore, better restaurants will outbid worse restaurants for good locations.
Have a friend who rates ethnic restaurants by the decor. The fancier the place: the worse the food.

The best places are mismatched chairs and Formica tabletops, menus left over from the previous occupant with a page of badly translated new menu pasted inside.

I think the two of us are on opposite sides of the "These elements include:" list :)

"Laundry to do..." is a trauma dump for pretty much everyone in this third decade of 24/7 local/global disaster reporting. It's the opposite of a unique perspective. But, it's nice to see the common vent presented in a thoughtful way instead of the daily routine of "Everyone holding it in and a few people explosively word-vomiting frustration."

And, I don't need rigid structure, impressive vocab or flowery images to appreciate a message. I'm good with it just putting me in a moment. Feeling it. Taking a breath and exhaling "yessssss......"

The https://claude.io/ integration is read-only. Basically you OAuth with GitHub and now you can select a repository, then select files or directories within it to add to either a Claude Project or to an individual prompt.

Claude Code can run commands including "git" commands, so it can create a branch, commit code to that branch and push that branch to GitHub - at which point point you can create a PR.

I suspect your first sentence characterizes the vast majority of scientific activity.
A codebase accumulates messes during it's entire lifetime. Sometimes, it gets to the point to where a rewrite is a good option. Even if the rewrite doesn't have all of the features...Even if possible, it may be better not to keep all of the features. As some features aren't important enough to maintain. The same can be said about government structures.

The whole point of an AGI is that you don't need to be a tech master (or even someone of basic competence) to use it, it can just figure it all out.

While fruits are packed with sugar, eating fruit also comes with fiber. This extra digestion slows the intake of sugar into the bloodstream, and getting fat/unhealthy from sugar comes from to much of it going through the liver. Because you may have too much sugar at a time, the liver needs help from the pancreas, which secretes insulin to store the sugar, which makes you fat.

> Also notable that twitter, specifically, is overwhelmingly signalling to the crowd. I think this has been true for a long time, but it does feel that it is more extreme now.

There is an interesting positive feedback loop:

1. Some people's messages are intended to be in-group signals and others' are not.

2. Because of the former, people sometimes intepret the latter as implicitly signally membership in the opposing group.

3. Once people start making that interpretation, they start using that deliberately, so now messages that don't look like group signals do look like group signals for the other group.

Eventually, the result is that nearly all messages are tribal markers and it's nearly impossible to say anything that isn't just a shibboleth.

You need like always to read some of the reviews and judge. If sceptical look at the users histories (e.g. I seen perfect 5 star reviews in Google then seen the users were bots even though the comments sounded ok)

Depends on the stakes too: anniversary dinner or grabbing a coffee in a different part of town?

I agree that shipping can cost a lot, especially oversea. Last time I checked, Amazon US is still a lot cheaper than Amazon CA. But Canada doesn't have something that can compete with Amazon.
Why not? That's how Linux started. None of the Unix flavours were free at the time. Who was paying the community then?

If enough people get behind a Rust OS, it could leapfrog Linux. I guess people just don't dream big anymore.

Enterprise customers are one thing, but private customers of ordinary Gmail? Completely another thing.

> Google Cloud has been a gigantic investment they've been making for well over a decade now. They're not going to throw away consumer and enterprise trust to train on a bunch of e-mail.

Consumers barely trust Google any more these days, not with the frequent stories about arbitrary bans, and corporations shy away from Google Cloud due to the same reason plus the service quality being way lower than AWS.

That's why I like this poem. In its stream-of-consciousness way, it points out that we are unable to give that topic the respect it deserves because we don't have the luxury of escaping all of the other mundanities of our life.

You are right, having a LinkedIn account does not necessarily mean a "genuine conversation". It is only a mechanism to verify users are "genuine" and in turn hopefully they will have a "genuine conversation". I am fully aware this is not foolproof, hence I am hoping to get some suggestions here :)

Many of the concerns you've listed stem from a lack of self-esteem. You list lots of activities that are stereotypically associated with a full, worthwhile life, but then make indications that these things aren't bringing you the satisfaction you were dreaming of. It's up to you to discover where you will find that ultimate satisfaction. Many people turn to religion. One of the pleasant effects of adversity is that it allows us to see that the sun will rise tomorrow, even if we fail today. When something bad happens to us, it is natural to feel as though it is the end of the world; but there is a constancy to certain things, and if you simply allow yourself to experience what is constant, knowing that the things that trouble you will one day be water under the bridge, you may find that these feelings go away.

On a more practical note, it is important in conversation to assume that your perspective has inherent value. People can perceive when you are trying to please them out of a desperate need for validation, and based on your self-esteem issues, it seems like this is probably what is happening here. If you can't make yourself believe your perspective has inherent value, just treat it like a game - fake it if you have to. You'll soon find that most people will validate your perspective as inherently valuable. It's important to reciprocate this attitude - people can also perceive when you are using them as a means to an end. It is important that you show a sincere interest in how other people think and feel if you want to build deeper relationships with them. The easiest way to do this is to ask opinion questions. You don't need to agree with their opinion; disagreeing with them is a great way to practice acknowledging your own perspective as inherently valuable. The important thing is simply to ask what they think of something.

If you do find yourself craving deeper relationships, you should know two things: 1) The anxiety you're experiencing ("No one asks back") does not go away even if you're in a stable relationship, because it ultimately stems from thought patterns rooted in low self-esteem and 2) if you are primarily socializing in group settings, don't try to befriend the group, befriend individuals within the group.

https://cleantechnica.com/2022/09/21/surprise-nissan-leaf-ba... :

> In fact, many EV batteries may outlast the vehicles they are installed in, then enjoy a second life in a stationary storage application before finally being recycled, according to EVANNEX. “At the end of the vehicle’s life — 15 or 20 years down the road — you take the battery out of the car and it’s still healthy with perhaps 60 or 70% of usable charge,” Thomas said.

Meanwhile the battery replacement cost isn't $10k+. Nissan dealers charge $5500 for a new battery. Refurbished batteries are available for as little as $1000, with the obvious trade off that you'll have to replace it again sooner, but $1000 for another 3-5 years (with the option to do it again) could be a better choice for an older car than $5500 for another 10-15 years, depending on how much value you place on the inconvenience of disassembling your car to put it in again.

I love it - at least the Platonic idea of it - for writing lots of scattered ideas quickly. The recommended workflow for the Alpha is to Just Write: sit down, hit the buttons to open a new, empty doc, then follow whenever your mind leads. You deliberately don't want to edit at this stage, unless it's a typo you can fix with a couple of backspaces. You're in writing mode, not editing or proofreading mode. Then you can pull the raw text into a full-featured editor on your computer and do all the editing you want later. And yeah, it's not even remotely decent at math or taking (or organizing) notes. It barely handles Markdown.

If I were in the middle of writing and got sidetracked, I'd probably insert something like

...were roasting hot dogs on the fire when the UFO came

TK NOTE Just remembered I should buy a suitcase

and sucked the alligator up out of the lake.

and then later I'd stumble across that when I was editing it. But also note that these aren't limitations in what the hardware+software could to. It's more about what the software should do, and for the Alpha, that's get out of the way so you can write.
Nope, points are mainly for engagement.
Love to hear more of your thoughts on it harming the system?
The KFC next to them shuts long before they do. The nearest McDonalds (a drive through) is 24/7 but I've been there late at night and it's extremely quiet. Moreover neither sells kebabs, whereas plenty of places which do sell kebabs in this part of the city close earlier.

However, thinking about it more carefully, while I've never bought a kebab from them technically the Chaiiwala which is 24/7 does sell kebabs. They're a bit fancier (and of course, more Indian) than the kebab you'd get from the kebab shop but that's definitely a chicken kebab. Their clientèle in the middle of the night are a mix of "gig workers" and people either going to or coming back from prayers (for whichever of the religions is into praying when other people are in bed - Islam and maybe others?). I have never seen drunk young people in there, but it is open 24/7 so that must happen once in a while.
Yeah. The overall correlation was tiny but just looking at it you could see a pattern that's getting lost in the analysis.
That is what 90% of science is really. There aren't a lot of truly "aha" moments where someone discovers something fundamental with little outside influence.
