Yes, words that label parts of continua are useful, even if they don't have well defined boundaries.

Kind of amazing how simple that fact is and how many arguments are caused by people not realising that it's true.

Here are some examples: town, artery, yellow, loud, tall, kind, woman, road...

Honestly it's hard to think of words that do not exist on a continuum. The exceptions are mostly low level maths/physics things.

Ah yes, it's just everyone else that's stupid; not you. You're still more capable than Claude right?

And just in case you haven't used the latest AI models and are being genuine, no it really is superhuman. Even if you are an AWS CLI expert, nobody in the world is going to be as fast as AI. And of course nobody is an expert in everything. You're always going to find some random domain where AI is read all of the research papers on it and you haven't.

That's nonsense. If what felixrieseberg said is true this is very clearly a compromise of Cursor and not Anthropic. Trying to spin it as a compromise of Anthropic is absurd.

Especially if you don't support private repos at all... That's where the money is!

Based on my 10 seconds of Googling, for transactions under $100, Bitcoin is actually more expensive to transfer.

I don't know much about bitcoin but surely you don't store this all in one wallet? You split it into thousands and then use hardware security modules with a risk management system so it doesn't let you transfer $5bn instantly. Unless it was an inside job maybe?

I'd be really curious to know what their security architecture was.

And Patrick Steward didn't enjoy life?

It's really enticing to think that there's some nice controllable reason why some people live longer (assuming you don't smoke, do drugs to excess, etc.) but really it's mostly genetics and chance.

Yeah I think the article would have more weight if he posted the actual discussion, because it's linked elsewhere here and it very clearly shows that Pyon is a nitpicking arsehole.

Probably because the post starts "To ease the transition for new users..."?

The post says "To ease the transition for new users".

Well not that surprising given that the results are now 80% ads.

The real trick is that they're pretty much the only relevant ads on the entire internet. That and they pretty much force companies into paying so that people that search specifically for that company actually see that company as the first result.

> Perhaps all that needs to be known to use atto at a basic level is that holding the control key, pressing x, then pressing w will write the currently open file, and holding the control key, pressing x, then pressing c will exit the editor.

Very beginner friendly lol. These people have no idea.

Micro is a beginner-friendly console text editor. This isn't.

Agents are a lot more useful if they can execute code.

Anyway this story is clickbait because they explicitly asked the agents to find a clever way to communicate without network or file access. They're doing exactly what you would want.

> isopropyl alcohol are toxic as well

As long as you have moderately good ventilation and don't drink it, IPA is completely safe. If the resin is similar I wouldn't worry about it because of this.

But I agree about the waste, and in general it looks like a right hassle. IMO the online MJF printing services are cheap enough that it would take quite a lot for me to bother with owning a resin printer, at least for occasional use.
