2019: We have no idea if computers will ever able to talk like a human in natural language. 2026: We have multiple magical know-everything oracles that can speak any language better than most humans and produce pages of output for fractions of a cent, but the model names are a bit confusing so let's just not bother.

In case this is helpful to you:

There's a back button, which if you just went into a child folder from a parent folder, then pressing the back button will go to the parent folder.

If you explicitly want to go to the parent folder, clicking on the name of the current folder in the dropdown in the top center of the open dialog, will reveal a list of folders that is the hierarchy from current folder on top, to root folder on bottom.

You can also press Command + Up Arrow to go to the parent folder.

To edit the path as text, press Shift + Command + G, which will show a dialog with the current path, and allow you to edit it as text with autocomplete support.

Bonus tip: While in the file open dialog, if for some reason you want open the current directory in a full normal Finder window, press Command + R.

His last blog post was well written, to the point, and sobering. The friends website measuring his lines of code and pull requests is making me feel sick to my stomach. I feel reminded to reflect on how I would measure my own life.

Precisely. That has always been prohibited both by technical measures and by the App Store review guidelines. Especially on Apple, but also on Google Play / Android as well.

Well cheated would definitely imply fraud. “Faking it” as in “fake it till you make it” is more like pretending you know about a topic until you learn enough on the job to participate competently.

Am I missing something, or do this article’s purported vulnerabilities rely on an assumption that an attacker already has enough access to your system that the attacker can modify files which your code is referencing by path? Isn’t this more of an escalation vector than a vulnerability in itself?

I’m trying to understand the practical takeaway.

I am working on a modal code editor project that you might find interesting then. It also operates on an AST directly, which is represented as UI nodes which closely resemble normal text layout. Email in profile if you’d like to give it a try and possibly give early feedback (still in early development).

Considering that a fleur-de-lis involves somewhat intricate curves, I think I'd be pretty happy with myself if I could get that task done in an hour.

Given a harness that allows the model to validate the result of its program visually, and given the models are capable of using this harness to self correct (which isn't yet consistently true), then you're in a situation where in that hour you are free to do some other work.

A dishwasher might take 3 hours to do for what a human could do in 30 minutes, but they're still very useful because the machine's labor is cheaper than human labor.

If you haven’t already, try going to Personalization settings, change tone to “Efficient”, and set Warm, Enthusiastic, and Emoji to “Less”. While not fundamentally solving the issue, I do prefer it over the baseline behavior, to the extent that I miss having a similar setting in Gemini.

I enjoyed reading it. Whether one believes the future will look like this fictional/hypothetical one, it encourages the reader to think about what would need to become true for this future to be plausible.

I don’t mean to suggest it alone would tip the scales. And I agree the hope for international intervention is dimmer than it ever has been. But it would be one thing on the scales, as it has been in Ukraine as well. While there has not been direct military intervention in Ukraine, the support that has been provided relies on political popularity, and Russia’s endangering of Zaporizhzhia has contributed to the disdain of and attention towards Russia’s invention.
