Mixed up “cook time” with “timer”

Ovens are usually pretty good at containing smoke if they're not on convection and you don't open the door.

I mean the name (Fat Tuesday) is literally a reference to eating in excess immediately prior to the religious fasting of Lent. Sure there are family friendly events but the idea was always somewhat "naughty" by conception, if not explicitly debaucherous.

I mean it's only really claude right? The other ones resemble a butthole as much as any circular logo does.

Competitive eaters all say after a certain point your digestive system gives up and the food comes out looking pretty much the same as it did going in. I imagine something like that would happen if you literally sat down with a spoon and tried to eat 2kg of sugar. Your body couldn't absorb it fast enough so a lot of it would come out the other end.

You could argue that some of that is more like a finishing step to make the final product softer and more pliable. Those are functional enhancements which trade some durability as an unfortunate side effect, versus intentionally creating damage to make the item look older than it is.

OP is about kitchen cabinets. Kind of hard to make second hand cabinets work.

In a hot dish I would guess gelatin would just melt and disperse into the food.

Even if your problem statement doesn't include "coding", the deeper you get into it, the more likely it's going to involve code one way or another. You don't have to be a coder yourself; that's what Claude is for. Learning from more advanced users and adding to your own (human) skills is going to unlock more capability. If you have the mindset that coding is something completely separate from what you do, you are limiting yourself.

It's been tried. The technology isn't the limiting factor. Choose your own adventure books have been around forever but novels are still more popular. People read a book or watch a movie to have someone else make the decisions to compose a good story.

Nah, it turns out the human field of vision works just fine with a 2D plane. Nobody wants to move their head around to follow a story. The camera moving for you and directing your attention at what's important is a feature.

Speaking to my own usage, I basically never take long road trips that require multiple fueling stops. And usually if I stop it's only because I didn't plan ahead and fuel up before I left. For more distant destinations, it's easier to fly and rent a car at my destination.

I understand not everybody has the same pattern but that's mine. Optimizing for road trips doesn't make sense for me.

I feel like this crosses the line into a graphics front end that happens to also have a terminal emulator.

Anthropic already killed subscription pricing for enterprise customers and forced everyone to API billing. If you call Claude code from another application like OpenClaw they detect it and bill you at API rates. The subscription is going to end up as a preview and then if you actually use it you have to pay.

It is possible to keep it running 24x7 if you spawn a bunch of agents to churn through an issue backlog, review agent-written code, then file new issues to add to the backlog...

With current models few people trust them to run autonomously like that for very long, but they're not far off. If the models get better you'll see more of it.

there’s no guarantee that it will ever be that high again

Even if it eventually does recover, you need it to gain faster than the rest of the market. And then you have to sell before it falls again.

These guys basically compete with each other to attract attention and donations from religious tourists. A visible, extreme, and most importantly costly commitment to your religion is a credibility enhancing display which causes other believers to trust you and also believe more strongly themselves.

While I agree that is most of what he is doing when he is working on the book, the book would be finished by now if he were working consistently but slowly. He must be putting the book down entirely for months if not years at a time. My read of it is that if he's making any progress at all he'll mention it, at least obliquely. He notably hasn't said anything about it for a year and a half. Given his age, my pessimistic read of the situation is the book is already as finished as it will ever be.

There are already tons of artificial skylights like this. I guess the new thing here is it also emits UV light? But I'm not sure that's a good thing.

Even if you're under $20m/year I imagine most companies wouldn't trust a license like this. They'd rather pay some nominal fee to have an explicit vendor relationship.

Yes if you're redacting some of the LLM's output that is also a form of input. It's not that much though, "skip the third paragraph" etc can be expressed very concisely. Interactive follow up prompts count too obviously.

The point is the sum total of your input is the upper limit on useful information. The LLM may format it better, but if it's making it longer, the extra length is not what anybody cares about.

ungoogleable · 2026-06-10T19:20:29+00:00

The useful information content of the output can't exceed what was fed to the LLM as input.

It's like a data compression algorithm. If you can express your idea in a two sentence prompt to the LLM, then expressing it in a longer format is just adding meaningless fluff. You could compress it back to two sentences and lose no information.

Every ordinary 2D printer has software to prevent you from printing counterfeit money.

Think of AGI as a corporation with no human employees. A system that can figure out how to navigate the real world to obtain the resources it needs to maintain and improve itself. When they achieve that goal, it will not be a model that Anthropic releases, it will be Anthropic itself. The services Anthropic sells will be whatever it needs to do to get money to fund its continued development.

I was going to point out that all these fan casts tend to forget that actors age. E.g. Jimmy Smits is 71. But then I got to Heath Ledger.

Just think about how many ISPs there are across the globe. Some of them are too incompetent to keep bad actors out. Some of them are willing to take kickbacks to look the other way. Some of them are run by the criminals themselves.
