It’s a bit overblown, first he said it’s a problem he’d been working on for several weeks for a future version of the Art of Computer Programming. Some people read that and changed that to be a long standing problem in past versions of the book.

I feel like we shouldn't normalise a senator breaking the arm of someone who was clearly not presenting any form of danger to anyone?

Screenshot from an article on prospect.org with the text:
I KNEW FROM THE NEW YORKER THAT ANDREESSEN had grown up in an impoverished agricultural small town in Wisconsin, and despised it. But I certainly was not prepared for his vituperation on the subject. He made it clear that people who chose not to leave such places deserved whatever impoverishment, cultural and political neglect, and alienation they suffered.
It's a libertarian commonplace, a version of their pinched vision of why the market and only the market is the truly legitimate response to oppressive conditions on the job: If you don't like it, you can leave. If you don't, what you suffer is your own fault.
I brought up the ordinary comforts of kinship, friendship, craft, memory, legend, lore, skills passed down across generations, and other benefits that small towns provide: things that make human beings human beings. I pointed out that there must be something in the kind of places he grew up in worth preserving. I dared venture that it is always worth mourning when a venerable human community passes from the Earth; that maybe people are more than just figures finding their proper price on the balance sheet of life...
And that's when the man in the castle with the seven fireplaces said it.
"I'm glad there's OxyContin and video games to keep those people quiet."
I’ll never forget the day I read this about him

Another Oracle outage is messing up US TikTok
TikTok US users may notice lag posting content.
hey let's hastily migrate hbo max and discovery to the same oracle-hosted backend that takes five years to start a paramount+ stream and is regularly cracking under the strain of tiktok, this will go great www.theverge.com/tech/888647/...

I wasn’t asking you to argue neither did I state that I wanted to argue this. I was calling out what I saw over the past few days.

The user requirement was text extraction which is different from parsing text. That he doesn’t know or understand the difference between the two yet insists he met the requirements is part of the why people strongly despise people in our field. He’s confidently wrong and still doesn’t see it.

He was given 4 PDFs to extract citations and references from. He wasn’t asked to parse them. He was asked to extract and categorize them as citations or references. He failed in all 4 instances.

In researching your paper did you read arxiv.org/pdf/2305.19555 and were you able to prove that problems identified there have been solved?

How do they think and do they think in ways comparable to how humans do. Are they able to decipher right from wrong even if adversarial information is added to their training data.
Why did researchers find errors in their "reasoning" in this paper.

I run claude code with nsjail then mount the folders i need in because I don’t trust it enough to give it full access to the machines it runs on. I edit code in vim/ sublime

You don’t need all that. I have never paid for cursor and the rest. I have only ever paid for Claude. I got the cheapest pricing for the middle tier version through a promo that is yet to expire

You don’t need that much to be honest. You can get by with Claude on Bedrock for projects when you need more tokens then shut it down after and keep the $20 a month sub

Noem was running a state with less than 800,000 people, and she couldn’t even perform well in that role. You think she’d do better as secretary?
