You would be surprised at how flat the population of NYC has been over the last ~75 years. It was 7.8m in 1950 and 8.1m in 2010. https://www.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/data-maps/n...
It would benefit many people (especially Anthropic employees) if, after an LLM gives you a response like this, to go into a different session and ask another LLM if the explainer is correct. Not just so that you…
Thousands of websites like Garry Tan's amateur pile of garbage?
I'm trying to gather the paperwork to apply for citizenship in another country. I gave Opus 5.5 everything I've assembled so far (PDFs, PNGs of birth/death certificates, etc.) and asked it for next steps and it: * Got…
The comment you're responding to has two sentences separated by a period. You can use that as an indication that the two issues being pointed out are, in fact, separate things. Do you understand now?
What's being implied is that your nefarious company is building another product that exists solely to suck up people's attention and time in order to build a profile of them to sell them garbage that they don't need and…
More like, if someone told you their workout program that takes 5 minutes a day lets them lift the same weights as an average Olympic weightlifter, you'd ask to see the results.

1. He didn't harass anyone. 2. Because it looks like an everyday object and not a camera? If you design a necklace or hat that films people but displays a small light (which can easily be covered up), the vast majority…
It's incredibly hypocritical. It's like working at Flock and complaining about being filmed on a Flock camera. Or working for a company that sells cars that emit a loud, annoying sound and complaining about those cars…
Hahahaha, "recording things in good faith." What an insane statement to make to paint this guy in a bad light. Should people also be concerned about walking in good faith, or eating their lunch in good faith? Meta…
I don't think I or 90% of my colleagues at Facebook, Google, or Apple could have cut it if we had tried being physicians. Even Staff at a FAANG is a joke compared to making it all the way through med school, residency,…
They could try just being normal. There's a middle between being unfuckable and hosting rape gangbangs with 40 people. This article actually does a great job describing how the gross, unfuckable nerds are now the ones…
What's old is new again: earth-shattering, never-before-seen company ends up making money off ads and its main product ends up being a developer tool (Codex).
Have you never built a large piece of software that had tradeoffs? What if your teammate just goes immediately into implementation with an AI and the AI decides to use library Foo which is disallowed for certain…
So, only use it for small codebases, don't use it if you value code quality or readability, and it's really good at building a CRUD app demo? I'm shocked. This is all completely new information.
If your company cares enough/will allow it, make a written policy that authors are responsible for their code and they must still meet whatever quality bar existed at your company pre-LLMs. It's awkward, but I've seen…
I was hopeful after reading your comment that you'd actually fixed the absolutely inane literally gobbledygook that newer Claude models communicate in. Do you realize how many professional, technical people now hate…
Khosrowshahi is full of shit 99.9% of the time but this is one of the few, maybe only, layoff letters that actually makes sense and names specific things that seem reasonable (other than forcing RTO), and it doesn't…
I see this appearing in the comments of code sent to me for review every day. People have told me I'm too picky/pedantic because I ask What does this mean? Apparently the author and other reviewers are way smarter and…
I misconstrued "new" with "this is the worst it's ever been."
If you're able to, find a random NPR broadcast from 20 to 30 years ago and marvel at how it could be replayed nearly verbatim today. "Inflation", "war in the Middle East", "Congress stalled on xyz." Even the…
"B-b-but this really is new!" The USA did have a Civil War. It was so violent that it killed more Americans than all other wars combined.
The alternative is that they lay off everyone because the entire team doesn't have metrics for the work they've done. The kind of person to single someone out who hasn't been tracking their work may not be likely to…
