airstrike··on Lobbying is corruption
Yeah but the bar for politics is extremely high because most threads turn to shit

if by "relevant" you mean "rich", sure

now consider if that is the entire set of stakeholders

airstrike··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
Curious what the GUI part of the stack looks like if you don't mind sharing
airstrike··on Yes, and
Great points, but I'd wager step 3 is not being maintained. I definitely do not read every line produced by the LLM. I read the critical parts for critical software, but that's probably not even 5% given the sheer number of lines written
airstrike··on Yes, and
for all the CRUD apps out there, which are not the full set of software programs
airstrike··on Mistral Large 4
IIRC they ruled out that humans knowingly stole that data, but they didn't rule out that the AI agent might have

When I wanted to file a patent, the attorneys told me it was only good as my ability to enforce it, which really means how much money I have vs the other guy
airstrike··on Germany’s RobCo hits $1B valuation
I understand why humans get fixated on the nominal threshold of a large, round number like $1B.

But the thing about private market valuations is that you can't know if investors are right ex ante, so it's helpful to discount.

A $1B valuation sort of just means you now effectively "owe it" to shareholders, and you're now 100% incentivized to deliver that to them in some form, instead of being fully incentivized to deliver on your true vision to your customer.

When done well, private diligence can help uncover blind spots and fund company growth in key areas at the service of that true vision.

When done poorly because of FOMO over AI, robotics, or the latest hype, it can turn into preemptive enshittification.

Effective in this attention economy.

Eyerolling to anyone with half a brain.

But maybe most people don't have half a brain.

The parent's question could better framed as "is consciousness a requirement for AGI?"

They could at least pick a less overused model so it doesn't feel this grating to read

airstrike··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
This place has fallen off so long ago that people like you consider yourself old timers but don't even follow guidelines

Bad evidence is worse than no evidence.

And you failed to address the specific criticism I made to your point, instead going for an ad hominem / poisoning the well.

In sum, you're out of line, woefully misled, and lacking in logical thinking. Three strikes, you're out.

airstrike··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
You're giving way too much credit to "enterprises" both noticing and publicly airing out their dissatisfaction

Not too mention these companies could easily offer one product to enteprises and another to everyone else

Model nerfing is real

airstrike··on Biology might not be quantum, but its math is quantumlike
I feel like a higher n-dimensional being observing time in a completely different way through those images, as if I could touch the bird at any of those points if I wanted.

Such a simple concept but really remarkable work.

airstrike··on Does Georgism work? Five years later
Yes, you did. Re-read the end of section III, around the part with the final two color coded images.
airstrike··on Gravity seems holographic. What does that mean for reality?
What if the dolls are all grandmas?
airstrike··on Jevmem – automatic project memory for Claude Code, built on Jev
I've recently started trying out a little approach that half makes me cringe as I think of gastown, but sharing FWIW

- All decisions get logged to DECISIONS.md, sequentially

- Before writing a decision, read through past decisions to see if any conflicts

- If no conflicts, encode the decision into the CODE.md

- If any conflicts, ask a Tribunal of 3 agents to find a resolution—each of them should be prompted in slightly different ways

I've only done this for one pretty big project but so far it seems to be working well

airstrike··on First Principles Thinking
"First principles" is just the latest expression ruined by SFBA posers like "orthogonal" and "non-trivial" before it.

Importantly, though, a crewmember doesn't stop by to check if you strapped the car sear correctly
airstrike··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
My grandpa and his dad were both pathologists, so I always appreciate seeing one in the wild.

Thanks for the rec, I'm buying it just so I can explore their world a little bit.

airstrike··on The Mafia may be keeping fentanyl out of Italy
With the minor difference that water is a dangerous, illegal substance.

Yeah but there's always the alternative of not doing coke, heroin, meth or even marijuana.
airstrike··on Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
Misrepresenting matters of fact with regards to AI capabilities, their perceived threat to the public, as well as unorthodox accounting that wouldn't pass the smell test of a summer intern in Wall Street, all to fuel an unsustainable hype in the hopes that (1) the government enacts regulatory capture to create a moat for AI foundries by fiat and (2) the incoming IPO miraculously fixes the propped up valuations secured in private markets.

First, do no harm.

> There isn’t any other part of the picture.

Except there is. At the risk of mixing pop references, you're a Sith dealing in absolutes saying "doesn't look like anything to me".

In Brazil they say you can make things better by first putting a goat in the living room. It's going to shit everywhere, chew, droll, and make a horrible mess.

Take the goat out and your life will improve right away!
