DiggyJohnson··on Claude Opus 5.5
Not at all. How do you come to that interpretation? It means restricting all competitors.
DiggyJohnson··on Claude Opus 5.5
what?
DiggyJohnson··on Claude Opus 5.5
What? How am I doing that. Claude writing style and the discussion at hand are two entirely separate issues that I haven't conflated at all. How am I "acting like people are being grammar nazis"?
DiggyJohnson··on Claude Opus 5.5
How do they not communicate clearly? A few weeks ago they stated that they would like to regulate the pace of frontier model development/releases, and they reminded us of that in this post.
DiggyJohnson··on Claude Opus 5.5
I really don't think it's productive for internet forums to constantly be criticizing language choice when the meaning is clear. Better to respond to the substance of the issue than word choice.

Edit: In response to the initial replies. To me it clearly means "releasing frontier models at any pace less than as fast as possible". It implies relative restraint compared to the previous state and without stating the degree of restraint.

That would be a MASSIVE portion of the budget for a single discretionary item.

I never claimed it did explain all their poor decisions. But it increases the chance they'll have to go to their alternate if the first landing attempt results in a go around.

There was clearly bad weather in the area. What you said is just tangentially related facts.
DiggyJohnson··on AirPods 5
My 2016 Toyota Corolla has a 1.5 second audio lag and it’s my only issue with the vehicle. No clean way to update or upgrade just the Bluetooth component either.
DiggyJohnson··on I Want a Wife (1971) [pdf]
I don’t have time to write a longer response but thanks for the detailed reply.

As a modern but somewhat traditional straight dude my initial reaction is that the most solvable aspect of this jealousy - and frankly the most stereotypically female - is the concern over judgement from others. The father’s I know couldn’t care less that the other moms in their kid’s class were chattering about the fact that mom’s car broke down on the way to soccer practice, while mom is traumatized by embarrassment. They just want to make sure everyone is home safe and the car is fixed soon.

The reason I’m sharing this is because it sounds like have a foot in both camps in terms of anticipated anxiety. And thankfully handling a fear of judgement and actual judgement are issues that can be addressed.

I’m rambling, I hope you find the right partner regardless and I appreciate the response.

Appreciate you sharing the info you could. That sounds really exhausting and pretty freaky.
DiggyJohnson··on AI handles incidents, engineers lose touch with their systems
You captured this phenomenon very well in this comment. Appreciate you sharing it because it’s hard to describe exactly what makes this sort of behavior so bizarre.
DiggyJohnson··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
That would obviously kill the vast majority of the organic activity on the site.

One of my hobbies is hosting a weekly open mic/showcase event in my town at a venue the same evening every week. I often get confusion from people when I explain that it’s much easier to call out sick from my day job than miss a show, because even with perfect digital communication a cancelled show will still let people down that do show up.

Assume that I don’t have anyone on standby to fill in for me. My point is that organic engagement in any shared community is often tenuousand not “rational” in the way outsiders expect. These things are tenuous. Hope that sorta makes sense.

DiggyJohnson··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
That’s not odd at all even if it is kind of surprising. Since the site had very little organic activity they were probably just going to the “all pages” admin page or similar rather than a dedicated moderation page or a “most recent posts” page.
DiggyJohnson··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
Could you describe anything about they experience?

Failure to configure their website for a sci fi future or to not adapt to this issue are not strong enough lapses to not empathize. He cared enough to try and get rid of the spam and keep the forum in a quality condition. He didn’t give up or step away.
DiggyJohnson··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
I wonder if we’ll end up seeing companies spin up and entire train against an incremental backup of a large portion of the web instead of the web itself to avoid. Essentially creating the world’s largest sandbox. This would be prohibitively expensive of course.
DiggyJohnson··on I Want a Wife (1971) [pdf]
If this resentment has persisted for a long time and communication hasn’t improved the situation why stay in the relationship? It seems like your advise applies to you as well as GP.
DiggyJohnson··on I Want a Wife (1971) [pdf]
What an interesting comment. Do you feel that the aspects of fatherhood that you are most jealous of are relatively lower expectations of time commitment directly watching after the kid and encouragement of professional success?

And if it’s not too prying to ask what are your ideal expectations for your partner? How important is their career? What is their ideal role in childrearing?

Yes. Why do you disagree?

Wow that number is line an order of magnitude or more than I expected it would be

Authentication and 2FA, group messaging, and poor map support are the only reason I switched back to a smartphone and I still miss it

You could have made the same point without starting with the insult.
DiggyJohnson··on Just Bury Your Trash
Strongly agree. I wish more things came in jars, cans and sacks. I would pay a premium for this alone. The plastic liner in a tall box workflow adds so much friction to storing using and disposing groceries. I despise cereal boxes.
DiggyJohnson··on Just Bury Your Trash
I agree with a lot of what you’re saying but flagging a post because you no longer trust the source is a misuse of the functionality.
DiggyJohnson··on Just Bury Your Trash
Using the toilet in this manner is the worst option. You’re sending your trash straight into the water treatment system let alone damaging your building pipes and whatnot, though it sounds like you rent.

I respect the approach and find it fascinating even though I think it’s crazy aha. I don’t think this would be very compatible at all with a lot of people’s cooking habits or hobbies, etc. Or if your apartment complex has an inconvenient garbage disposal location.

And there’s a lot of garbage I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting in the freezer.

How do you handle bathroom trash? I’m thinking feminine hygiene products specifically. Surely you don’t recommend flushing those right?

DiggyJohnson··on Just Bury Your Trash
That’s funny because when my locality switched from plastic to paper bags I was annoyed at having to buy trash bags for the bathroom for the first time but found the paper bags were excellent for litter cleanup since they stand up on their own and are easier to scoop into than a smaller fluttery plastic bag.

Telling people not to drive to work without viable alternatives does not seem like a solution.
DiggyJohnson··on Playa Phone
That seems like it would destroy the “vibe” of the entire concept. Would you use a pay phone if the recording and transcript was publicly available?

Thanks for sharing I love this theme. Implementing it now this morning and really appreciate the middle ground between no highlighting and the popular rainbow chaos themes.
