They very clearly weren't talking about nerds in general but rather nerds who care about software.

Can't speak for the former, but the latter question: yes.

"Product is really good at X, much better than at Y" does not imply that it's bad at Y, and even if it did, if you're targeting an audience that only cares about X, who gives a shit about Y? Might as well throw Y under the bus to boost the perceived effectiveness of product at X even more in comparison.


It's dystopian. I wish we could just roll back to 2022 and pick a different timeline. Anything and everything is either about AI and/or written by AI, and it's all the shittier for it. Software and services are becoming buggy, content quality plowed straight through bedrock, most people use AI to turn off their brains, and the people that care are left drudging through slop and garbage in both their professional and personal lives.

I want off this train to hell. I am truly (not exaggerating) on the verge of abandoning everything to go live in the woods.


The Lite version, same as on Chrome, is actually available for Safari. Still not as good as the full one on Firefox though.

what's the diff between lite and full? i dont even remember what i use on safari, wipr or something. mostly use firefox but sometimes i casually just let things launch in safari



really appreciate you dropping links thank you!

Exactly.


Codex CLI is a TUI app, but Codex App is an actual desktop GUI app. If you actually look at the TFA, you'll see that all of the videos are of the desktop app.


Yes! and if you install Computer Use from the Codex App you can also use it from the Codex CLI


I think the founder/lead developer, Alexander Wang, works at OpenAI now.

Plus, according to this comment on an issue, folks in their discord say it's not being actively maintained.

Never imagined Scale.ai CEO was D2Lang creator nor that he joined his room-mate at OpenAI (giggle).

Thanks for sharing


Scale AI is a different Alex. Their first names are spelled slightly different. Alexandr vs Alexander


I think they're arguing against Anthropic et al. claiming their models are "ethical" and "safe". The point being that it can't be absolutely in all circumstances ethical or safe because even seemingly benign information can be used to cause harm, hence it requiring knowing the user's intent to actually make an ethical and safe choice of whether to provide information or not.

When Anthropic et al. say that their AI is ethical and safe, they are saying so in absolute terms, same as the title. Just one instance of unethical or unsafe behavior is enough to prove that it's not ethical or safe.

No one would say a knife or a gun is safe because we're all aware of the harm it could cause, thus requires care and diligence in use. The term "ethical" doesn't apply in this analogy because an inanimate object cannot act, but an LLM can.


Of course there is, but slop generators be slopping


What is it, o wise person stingy with the information.


I admire you for what you've created wrt Sumatra. It's an excellent piece of software. But, as a matter of principle, I refuse to knowingly contribute to codebases using AI to generate code, including drive-by hints, suggestions, etc.

You, or rather Claude, are not the first to solve this problem and there are examples of better solutions out there. Since you're willing to let Claude regurgitate other people's work, feel free to look it up yourself or have Claude do it for you.


On iOS, if you open the App Store and click on the Today tab (it's the default tab if you kill and reopen), there's ads interspersed with curations.

For me, the second tile is an ad for Upside, some cashback app


Mine is Moneris Go, and the top review is titled "Garbage App!!!!" lol

Honestly the last time I remember using the App Store was years ago and I can't recall if they had ads or not. Imo it's distasteful and I wish they didn't have them. Still leagues better than the fucking ads in the start menu which caused me to give up on gaming and Windows forever.


At least the slop is fast and jitter-free, and not using React in a terminal.
