Are you trying to argue that archeological texts weren't written by humans? Because otherwise I don't understand how your comment is related to the parent comment. It has nothing to do with not knowing the identity of the author. It's about the author being a human.

You're still hung up on this idea that violating boundaries and being a man are synonymous, and that what makes it creepy is how attractive you are.

Whether someone is attractive or not, they're perfectly capable of not bothering someone who doesn't want to be bothered.

You're basically saying "if an unattractive man who doesn't respect boundaries is creepy, but also an attractive man that doesn't respect boundaries is creepy, then that means all men are creepy."

It's very telling that you think creepy and ugly are you synonyms and non-creepy and attractive are synonyms.

Those guys are creepy too.

If they're a non-creepy guy, it's because they don't behave like a creep. Not because they're handsome.

> FFS, git is a tool for programmers.

We already said it has a garbage UI, you don't need to repeat it

But jokes aside, usually the reason something is considered a "tool for programmers" and not just a tool is because the UI sucks.

If you look at any other details of this it is very clearly vibecoded.

I'm reading a book by Asimov at the moment, printed 1989. The first page is an ad for a Robert Silverberg book adaptation of the Nightfall short story. Pages 2-3 are ads for other Asimov books. The last 5 pages are an excerpt of Edge of Eternity. And the final page is an advertisement for Voice of the Planet, a "5 episode TBS miniseries starring William Shatner and Faye Dunaway"

Those are just awful compared to the side view of a pelican on a bike.

Which of these programs is easier to review

  {x{x,sum -2#x}/0 1}
or

  def f(n):
      if n <= 1:
          return n
      else:
          return f(n-1) + f(n-2)
They're both the same program

There's already feedback in the gitlab issue that the top commenter linked. Their HN comment isn't really adding anything

Hit me with the downvotes, but the only thing their comment has contributed to is causing arguments.

Just today I asked Claude Code to generate migrations for a change, and instead of running the createMigration script it generated the file itself, including the header that says

  // This file was generated with 'npm run createMigrations' do not edit it
When I asked why it tried doing that instead of calling the createMigrations script, it told me it was faster to do it this way. When I asked you why it wrote the header saying it was auto-generated with a script, it told me because all the other files in the migrations folder start with that header.

Opus 4.7 xhigh by the way

If they're shuttering this farm because peaches are no longer profitable, why would someone else pay for these trees?

I like Codea for iOS, though the free version has a soft-limit at 500 lines. If a project gets bigger than 500 lines you can still run code but it'll nag you to upgrade.

That doesn't get you any Claude usage. Claude models obviously aren't open, but equivalent models to Opus take about 400GB of memory to run.

You can run the versions with fewer parameters or quantized weights but depending on how much quality you're sacrificing, now you'd have to compare the price against cheaper Claude models like Sonnet.
