Wouldn't it be ironic if AI is the best way to manage a socialist society and they start building it on their own.

This seems like an expansion on something I was getting my agent to do which is use 'cards' to communicate using things like tables, rather than the ascii table stuff Claude code likes to do.

Unsure if this has been done already but the best thing I did was get it to create a list of next steps as quick buttons that it keeps updated in a docked card. It works well but occasionally gets stuck on some un related rabbit hole.

> They are limited to the sensor's margin of error, range and trusting it's working correctly

So are we and our sensors can be pretty vague in comparison, I can only imagine human error correction is pretty next level.

I agree with the sentiment but I can absolutely see a long chain of thought about something innocuous ending with a decision to book you a hotel room.. I guess --dangerously-skip-permissions is a bit like ignoring the keep your hands on the steering wheel alert but for life.

For me a loan would be far more stressful than fixing a 20 year old car, but I have worked for myself for 15 years so my priorities are probably skewed

On the one hand you need any lathe to build a good lathe, even a bad one. On the other, that is a potentially flawed principle to base the entire future of AI on.

Given its form factor there is already a ton of active research into developments that would be just about plug and play. Hands with coordination for example.

Freedom to decide? Not that humanity is historically great at deciding what brings itself happiness.

I know some scientists and there's barely enough demand for them as it is

For a very long time now I've avoided anything other than 1 class per div with style overrides and written with modular rules and 1-2 degrees of separation between label and rules.

Something like

.title {

  @include type-heading;

  &.LARGE {
    @include font-size-large;
  }

  @include onMobile {
    ...something
  }
}

This has the advantage of being naturally rule based and amazingly succinct to write and understand. Needless to say I'm an odd duck, since I almost never see css written this way.

(edit: I forgot how to format code on HN)

Some heavier elements have hilariously high energy densities and aren't bombs (on their own), but the catch is the energy release is a trickle. Point is it's not an automatic follow that high density = high discharge.

Seems like we need to update that other saying - to err is human but to really f** things up you need an AI

I wonder what the income distribution is like

I doubt it's polar if that's what you mean.
