(This is from August 19, it was widely reported at the time.)
So then they should be pickier about when they show results or which model they use based on the question. Nobody asked for an LLM response for every single search. They used to detect certain types of queries and offer…
I can forgive them for having a bug in their sandbox. I can't forgive them for failing to do any monitoring whatsoever.
I don't think it was intentional or marketing, but I think it was criminally negligent and they should be held responsible. They gave powerful models with no guardrails access to the Internet and didn't monitor it. Even…
No, most people don't cheat. The world would fall apart if they did. In a lot of occupations the skills you learn in college are real and meaningful. If you don't have the skills, you can't do the job. You can't fake it…
When Chrome 1.0 came out in 2008, it only ran on Windows, and it couldn't do basic things like print or export to PDF, didn't have any accessibility, didn't work in RTL languages, and didn't have any graphics…
This is based on my understanding from several pilots who have weighted in. The cockpit voice recorder transcript has the copilot repeatedly saying "we're coming in too fast" but the pilot never clearly acknolwedges.…
In practice that’s a lot of the value MCPs are providing. Technically it’d work just as well to have a thin API wrapper or cli tool the agent is allowed to access.
I think that’s true when you compare to the average white collar professional who does a lot of writing: better at writing, not better at communicating. But compared to the average adult? I think you forget just how bad…
As opposed to what? If you ask a non-programmer to install Claude Code, just installing it will be a challenge, then opening the shell and interacting with it. Things as simple as copying and pasting can present…
This feels like trying to rewrite history. Those of us who lived through that time know that it was real - Microsoft was extremely anti-Linux. That famous Ballmer quote wasn't taken out of context, it was one of many.…
When has 20% projects ever been about bypassing every launch process and just posting your product publicly? Google may be a big bureaucracy now, but launch approvals and processes are there for a reason.
My initial thought there is that you'd have an imbalance. Many token patterns would almost never come up with the assistant tag on them, for example words with typos in them.
255 characters ought to be enough for everybody, right?
Save As works fine for simple websites with static content. Let's say you have a site that fetches content from a database. If you Save As, then at best you'll get a local copy of an HTML page with JS that loads the…
Not all JavaScript, but a lot of APIs are restricted
Sure, but it used to be only a small fraction of students, not nearly half the entering class
If only there was a national standardized test that assessed whether students are prepared for college or not. Oh, wait
Why is that better than just requiring the SAT, which while imperfect does a great job at weeding out students who have A’s in math but can’t solve 8th grade algebra problems.
I remember at Google at around 2007 - 2009, as Google was massively expanding its data centers, there was a lot of unused capacity, especially during off-hours. Any engineer could run as many jobs as they wanted at zero…
Do you really think this "works great"? I'm using a brand-new MacBook Pro with a high-end M5 processor, and this site is extremely unresponsive for me. Huge latency between clicking and getting feedback. It also breaks…
There are periods of time where I might spend 80% of my time "coding", meaning I have minimal meetings and other responsibilities. However, even out of that 80% of my time, what fraction is actually spent "writing…
Exactly. If you want Apple-quality headphones to go with your MacBook Neo, the USB-C Earpods are $19: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/myqy3am/a/earpods-usb-c
I think mobile deposit by scanning a check with your smartphone camera is one piece of it? I've never seen a bank offer that feature via their website.
Yeah, but there are dozens of AI coding assistants to choose from, and the cost to switch is very low, unlike switching operating systems. I've tried them all and I keep coming back to Claude Code because it's just so…
