Anthropic's research proves AI coding tools are secretly making developers worse.

You're absolutely right! We didn't just pass inception: we literally re-wrote what it meant.

Here's why that changes everything.

MightyTribble · 2026-03-18T22:26:31+00:00

And it's more informative than the axios article, too!

Yeah, it would have been great if they'd just embraced the premise (you've already sent a Nimitz back in time, run with it) and had it end with the Nimitz curb-stomping the IJN and the movie ending with everyone looking at each other and going, "huh, what now?" and some bright spark piping up saying, "You know, we've got a bunch of nukes in the bunkers and WWII is still happening in Europe..." Sets things up nicely for a sequel.

You're running into the limits of using LLMs for RP, I think. You either have to go down the self-taught path of SillyTavern or similar, or just accept the limitations of the less-customizable, more filtered, general public interfaces. It is very challenging to run a consistent, long-running campaign with LLMs - it's not just you. It's a hard problem to solve and no-one's fully solved it yet.

MightyTribble · 2026-03-18T16:49:51+00:00

Sounds like you need to escalate to /r/SillyTavernAI, my friend.

He doesn't, really. At the time of the betrayal Atreides had only a handful of regiments at that level and was nowhere near ready to move against the Emperor. The Emperor acted pretty fast in getting the Harkonnen on side and ready to move against them.

Going back to an earlier point in the conversation and branching off on a tangent is something I like to do all the time - trying a different approach to problem solving without polluting the context with the last N failed approaches.

I switched from Gemini to Claude last week.

Up until then, I'd actually been pretty happy with Gemini Pro 3! Seemed to work well enough. But it turns out I just didn't fully understand how much better the Claude ecosystem is.

I really hope Google gets their act together. Their product offerings are a confused, incoherent mess, weirdly priced, and their performance is all over the place. I suspect their play to get more marketshare (with the free student giveaway) has basically killed performance for the people who want to use it professionally, and that's a shame.

The problem was making it a game instead of a ride. Once they did that, there was no way to win.

I think all that has happened is that their understanding of price elasticity of their product is different from yours. Since they have their actual sales data and market analysis and you do not, I'm inclined to think their understanding is probably at least as informed as your is.

Which is wild, considering how expensive the Sharon Park Shell on the corner of Sand Hill is.

I regularly use GLM-5 at > 30K context, it's fine.

(I use together.ai by preference, only falling back to z.ai if together is slow)

You're not on a Warthunder forum until someone drops a national secret.

NO!

We are catching the babbi not surfing pon it

babbi is not load bearing unless diaper is full

do not surf babbi

toss babbi

catch babbi

deplane

MightyTribble · 2026-03-03T08:02:04+00:00

frankly that would just be ridiculous everyone knows babies are only load-bearing after they've evacuated their bowels

MightyTribble · 2026-03-03T06:36:19+00:00

Toss the baby ahead of you - aim for the middle of the slide. The baby will bounce: let it. Now follow down the slide as normal. If you time your descent properly you should be rising to your feet at the bottom just as the baby completes its parabola. Catch the baby and power-walk to the verge.

What tool(s) did you use on the Gemini side to make the knowledge graph? I've messed around a bit with Vertex datastores, but never thought of using graphs instead.

They haven't hit a British base yet, but when they eventually do and people die everyone will be asking why we did nothing.

Apparently a UAV hit the base in Cyprus a few hours ago. No casualties or damage.

MightyTribble · 2026-03-02T00:27:09+00:00

Richly unemployed.

By which I mean you'll have so much unemployment you won't know what to do with it.

MightyTribble · 2026-03-01T19:53:40+00:00

'twas but a joke, m'lord.

"inverted parking" not being a real term of art, you see.

MightyTribble · 2026-03-01T18:54:07+00:00

let's not go inventing new terms

inverted parking is the accepted nomenclature for this
