    People make mistakes, which was the root of the discussion here. AI doesn't, because AI doesn't actually know what it's doing. It can't know.

    You are wrong about this. I understand why you’re saying it but everything in current LLM research points to emergent constructions from LLMs which allow the model to construct its thoughts, simulate them and more.

    Look up j-space for example.

    You’re conflating taking blame and taking responsibility. My comment had nothing to do with legal implications, it was a statement on what Claude itself says.

    Not my experience at all, in fact for me Claude based models are proactively taking the blame for things that aren’t even their fault.

    That's part of the problem. I can point at myself in the mirror and admit fault. an LLM sure as heck will try to avoid it without an argument

    Yeah, seconding. I have a /prune-docs skill which actively prunes both memories and developer documentation for redundancies, outdated bits and pieces, things that shouldn't be in there, etc....

    Oh, and one other thing that I don't think people often consider: Maybe once every few months, ask the AI to review all of it's memories and agent files for consistency, redundancy, verbosity, and organization (different project memories, memory vs agent file, project agent file vs global agent file). Over time, especially if you've got multiple related projects, it'll accumulate a lot. Cleaning up can make a difference in result quality and context token usage.

    Yeah, seconding. I have a /prune-docs skill which actively prunes both memories and developer documentation for redundancies, outdated bits and pieces, things that shouldn't be in there, etc.

    Maintenance and code quality are key to getting great results.

    AI is an accelerator and a multiplier. If your code's shit and your docs are shit, it'll multiply the shit. If it's good, it'll multiply the good.

    I had no idea PowerToys even existed. I asked Claude to keep my laptop awake while I went off to do something; it wrote a quick powershell script and then told me to install that and I was shocked when I saw everything in there, which is why I came to share it here. Coming from the Linux world, so much of this should be installed by default...

    I think everyone is missing a very important distinction between “discontinue it” and “hike the price to unreasonable”.

    The latter means there are far less chances the pass itself for current users will be discontinued in the near future. It signals that even if they sell a lot fewer passes, they intend to make good on the lifetime promise.

    For me, that’s great news, and imo a smart move.

    I feel like the subculture around creepypasta mainly started in the early tens and lasted around ten years or so. The pandemic might have been what killed it like someone else said above, but I think they became a little bit dated in a “forwards from grandma” kind of way. There is no better time for something to become uncool and feel like it’s been thrown out of the window than your parents doing it, just like the time in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hеll in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.

    My coding iterations look like this actually. Regular cycles of auditing for maintainability, security and performance usually all separately.

    I hear your different viewpoint on it and to be fair, I think it would have been appropriate and fair if the person said something like “Hey I’m sorry but I don’t feel safe putting in private information in a random website — how can I trust any of this?”.

    But IMO asking such a thing under the scope of gdpr is inappropriate. It’s like, you’re trying to weaponize legislation and basically threaten people with it. When you tell people “you’re not compliant”, the part that goes unsaid is something like: “hey! Pay someone to make you compliant, or else I will report you, and if I don’t somebody else will”.

    Which is why it’s an inappropriate thing to say in a space such as tildes, at least the way it was worded in the response above. There’s better, friendlier ways to say it, let’s say even just, “Hey, just a heads up, I think this is not gdpr compliant; did you look into it?”

    Idk I found it super super gross.

    You’ve been here for six years. How do you:

    1. Not know who Bauke is
    2. Not realize this is an inappropriate answer to anyone on tildes who’d be posting such a survey, let alone Bauke

    And I’d also like to know why you care such a great deal about gdpr compliance if you yourself don’t understand it…

    This is entirely outdated information. Almost every US bank supports oauth and plaid has implemented it all since. They are also one of the biggest proponents pushing for this standardization.
