> The problem with the way they've done it is that as you progress towards the end of the second age, as a player you have very few incentives to actually build most improvements.

Outdated buildings lose adjacency but have a yield of +2 (if from antiquity) or +3 (if from exploration) yield of whatever their base yields were, so they aren't worthless.

> The settlement limit as you go into the second age also tends to penalize early expansion, another balancing measure. You find the "new world" but you can't just go ahead and do the massive landgrab because doing so comes with a set of penalties which you'll have to offset by building things that'll compensate and in turn stunt growth.

I'm not sure that "things you might want to do require you to devote some of your limited resources and sacrifice something else" is really a bad thing.

Having big cities grow to (very close to) footprint-filling urban conglomerations supported by fishing/farming/mining towns is quite clearly an explicit design intent.

Look mate, as far as I'm concerned the old editor wars fizzled out a long time ago. Now it's us in the emacs and vim camps vs. the IntelliJs and VS Codes of the world.
At least in this case, by crossword conventions, the answer has to match the tense of the clue. At least all the ones I did followed this convention including the one you're talking about.

I did not see the one angry_moose is talking about but in a normal crossword, even without seeing the number of letters, if the clue was like, "Most populous city in the US" -> NYC vs "Most populous city in the United States" -> New York City. Again, not sure if that was the case here since I didn't see it. (edit: I went and saw it, the clue had MSG vs Madison Square Garden hence, NYC, not New York City)

Cool puzzle though.

I don't think that reaction was to the existence of them - merely the fact people were parting with money for them to the extent that developers were making significant money (short-term anyway). "Drinking" a pint, or blowing out the flame on a "lighter" were both quite cool moments for people when smartphones first arrived.

> So write something and don't worry if nobody reads it.

It's demotivating to have created a huge body of work that you know nobody will ever read/hear/experience. It saps the desire to create any more. I've been creating things for decades and approximately 0 people (other than myself) have benefitted from any of it. Everything is always just under the line of "good enough" to publish/publicize, and publishing/publicizing are completely different skills than creating in the first place, and just feel awful to do.

> That act of writing will have sharpened a little piece of your brain.

I'm tired of sharpening my own brain. Oh yay, after several decades of challenging myself and creating lots of cool things just for myself, I have a super-sharp brain (let's be charitable for sake of argument). So what? I'm doing literally nothing useful with all my sharp intellect.

Creation has begun to feel pointless without sharing those creations, and the amount of effort and skill it takes to go from Tier 2 (not quite worth sharing) to Tier 1 (worth sharing) is enormous. We belong to a race of 8.2 billion people, most of whom are directly connected all the time. Human attention is limited, and everyone can choose to pay attention to the best 0.001% of any form of content or media -- and why wouldn't they? -- which already gives them way more content to read/watch/listen to than they could possibly experience in a lifetime.

That means you have to be absolutely world-class to create anything of value that anyone else would ever even bother to look at. You get to pick one thing that you're world-class at, if you're very lucky. And to do that, you can't do anything else. You want to share your paintings with anyone? You better fucking only paint, and do nothing else with your life, to have even a chance of anyone ever giving a shit about anything you paint. Good luck paying for your mortgage and your kids' educations.

Besides, in many endeavors AI will soon be (if not already is) churning out content that makes even world-class human efforts look like garbage. Very expensive garbage. Why would anyone bother to look at your worthless human shit when they can look at pristine AI-generated content instead?

So you can't create anything worth anyone's time, so you can't share anything, so you're stuck only ever sequestering your creations inside a dark basement forever where nobody will ever experience them. Eventually you just run out of desire to do that.

I'm somewhat impressed from the very first interaction I had with Claude 3.7 Sonnet. I prompted it to find a problem in my codebase where a CloudFlare pages function would return 500 + nonsensical error and an empty response in prod. Tried to figure this out all Friday. It was super annoying to fix as there's no way to add more logging or have any visibility to the issue as the script died before outputting anything.

Both o1, o3 and Claude 3.5 failed to help me in any way with this, but Claude 3.7 not only found the correct issue with first answer (after thinking 39 seconds) but then continued to write me a working function to work around the issue with the second prompt. (I'm going to let it write some tests later but stopped here for now.)

I assume it doesn't let me to share the discussion as I connected my GitHub repo to the conversation (a new feature in the web chat UI launched today) but I copied it as a gist here: https://gist.github.com/Uninen/46df44f4307d324682dabb7aa6e10...
I haven't finished the paper yet, but it's really interesting that they mention "there has been a long-running debate in the net- working community about just how valuable the TCP (and
UDP) checksum is. While practitioners have long argued on
anecdotal evidence and personal experience that the check-
sum plays a vital role in preserving data integrity, few formal studies have been done." I would have thought there would have been more rigorous analysis by this point.

EDIT: I should have checked the paper's publishing date (2000), lol.
Perfect! Over time I will eventually win this game!
There is poor cross-UNIX compatibility if you're doing anything complicated, anyway. I maintained a large test suite for about a year that was written in POSIX sh and targeted Linux, macos, {Free,Open,Net}BSD. It wasn't fun because every program behaved in slightly different ways, half of them undocumented (for example, I remember having lots of pain with how different versions of tail handled SIGPIPE).

In the end it was was easier to rewrite in Perl than to keep maintaining that thing, struggling for hours to find ways of implementing every little bit of functionality that worked reliably on every OS. You'd add or fix something, and the tests would break on FreeBSD. You would fix it there and it would stop working on NetBSD. And so it goes.
I have no reason to doubt your explanation and intention, however I think it would have been more efficient if this misunderstanding could be avoided.

Maybe something like "This looks good. Would be nice to see it extended to support companies that do not follow the calendar year.".

> There's no way these professionals have 6000 hours of interesting content and there's no way they would pay $200/month to store it. They're just saving everything they ever record because it's free.

Some of these people have been streaming for 15 years, it's far from “everything they ever record” (and some content creators in twitter/bluesky links elsewhere in this discussion explicitly said they did select content).

Likely they would be more picky in their selection if they had to pay, but that doesn't mean they would be ready to pay something for a thousand hours instead of 100. 100 hours is a ridiculous amount!

It's no more work than implementing a hard threshold. They did change the system in the first place, they could have made this change much better had they cared…
I heartily agree with this. Multiple times I have had to slog through multiple levels to get to where I already knew I was headed.
Oh loads of 90s games and some 00s had IPX. Warcraft 1/2, Starcraft, C&C, Diablo, RA, RA2. Of course that was only for LAN parties, but it was everywhere.

I should point out that I'm my reply is not interested in what is likely to happen, but rather what I believe should happen.

We have plenty of cases where people have in fact been allowed to fool investors without repercussions. Most famously was the recent collapse of we work. There is in general quite a bit of leeway in the private markets to get creative about how you market your financial products. The public market is of course totally different, and that's also what I'm hinting at in my distinction.

I don't think it makes sense for a public entity to audit things that the public can't buy. Private financial institutions are (or at least should be) competent to audit their own investments. The general public are not competent to audit their own investments, and even if they were it would be extremely inefficient, so we should probably have some government entity for that.

The Kardashians did not have money disbursement and firing authority over vast swathes of the US federal government. Maybe it is just me, but I feel that demands a little more scrutiny than reality TV stars. We certainly should not lower the expected standards of behavior and give a free pass on things we expect normal people without the power to do extreme harm to abide by.

The highest should be held to the highest standards, not the lowest.
The API still has limits. Even if you are on the highest tier, you will quickly run into those limits when using coding assistants.

The value proposition of Glama is that it combines UI and API.

While everyone focuses on either one or the other, I've been splitting my time equally working on both.

Glama UI would not win against Anthropic if we were to compare them by the number of features. However, the components that I developed were created with craft and love.

You have access to:

* Switch models between OpenAI/Anthropic, etc.

* Side-by-side conversations

* Full-text search of all your conversations

* Integration of LaTeX, Mermaid, rich-text editing

* Vision (uploading images)

* Response personalizations

* MCP

* Every action has a shortcut via cmd+k (ctrl+k)
Really? Not surprising, I loved that game (hence my username :D ). Before half-life, DF2 was one of the best online multiplayer games out there.
How could Civ abandon that? Civ never was a story-generation game (arguably, VII is a very slight move toward that, but Civ I was pretty much Empire with a tech tree, more varied terrain, a more detailed (terrain-based) production system, and founding/growing cities replacing conquering independents.

when you have the gigabit, it is easier to notice that unwanted data is being sent
Showing the calculation you described:

If p is the value drawn for A, then each time B is drawn, the probability that B>A is (1-p),
So, the chance that B is drawn n times before being less than or equal to A is, p^(n-1) (1-p) (a geometric distribution).
The expected number of draws is then (1/p) .
Then, E[draws] = E[E[draws|A=p]] = \int_0^1 E[draws|A=p] dp = \int_0^1 (1/p) dp, which diverges to infinity (as you said).

(I wasn’t doubting you, I just wanted to see the calculation.)

I'm curious why there are no results for the "Claude 3.7 Extended Thinking" on SWE-Bench and Agentic tool use.

Are you finding that extended thinking helps a lot when the whole problem can be posed in the prompt, but that it isn't a major benefit for agentic tasks?

It would be a bit surprising, but it would also mirror my experiences, and the benchmarks which show Claude 3.5 being better at agentic tasks and SWE tasks than all other models, despite not being a reasoning model.
I didn't say no-one gets upset by the name. I said that they're being silly gooses.

If your department wouldn't use free software because of the name, that's very much a them problem. And it's sad that they're so sensitive.

If you don't like the name, you don't have to use the software. Or fork it can call it something more anodyne to your sensibilities.

But no. You want everyone to cater to sensitive people. And thus, myself and others are here to say your comment is annoying when this comes up every thread that GIMP is mentioned.
If you are paying for Apple hardware, it’s silly to use an OS that’ll make it only less reliable and compatible.

>The Kardashians didn't own and run an economically and strategically critical company.

Fair. Do you have a problem with Musk's progress in the problems that company is trying to solve? Is there any reason to believe that if someone else were in charge, that progress would improve?

>There's a big difference between wanting Musk far away from SpaceX, and wanting a communist revolution,

Possibly, for some people. But the people who complain about Musk aren't the sort that are concerned with the economic or strategic importance of SpaceX. He's just someone they dislike, and they want him punished. Why does fate not intervene, they ask, and give him nut cancer? It gets old.
It looks like those versions will continue for some time, at least until Sep 2025 on Win 7-8.1 and macOS 10.12-10.14, given the recent announcement:

It has the potential to effect a lot more than just SV/The West Coast - in fact SV may be one of the only areas who have some silver lining with AI development. I think these models have a chance to disrupt employment in the industry globally. Ironically it may be only SWE's and a few other industries (writing, graphic design, etc) that truly change. You can see they and other AI labs are targeting SWEs in particular - just look at the announcement "Claude 3.7 and Code" - very little mention of any other domains on their announcement posts.

For people who aren't in SV for whatever reason and haven't seen the really high pay associated with being there - SWE is just a standard job often stressful with lots of learning required ongoing. The pain/anxiety of being disrupted is even higher then since having high disposable income to invest/save would of been less likely. Software to them would of been a job with comparable pay's to other jobs in the area; often requiring you to be degree qualified as well - anecdotally many I know got into it for the love; not the money.

Who would of thought the first job being automated by AI would be software itself? Not labor, or self driving cars. Other industries either seem to have hit dead ends, or had other barriers (regulation, closed knowledge, etc) that make it harder to do. SWE's have set an example to other industries - don't let AI in or keep it in-house as long as possible. Be closed source in other words. Seems ironic in hindsight.
One thing about the reply gives away why Claude is still basically clueless about Actual Thinking; it suggested me to move the HTML sanitization to the frontend. It's in the CF function because it would be trivial to bypass it in the frontend making it easy to post literally anything in the db. Even a junior developer would understand this.
