Looks like they actually walked this bit back

dukky··on Anthropic's Method to Losing Goodwill in a Few Easy Steps
Part of the point is that they've added all sorts of caveats - `claude -p` used to be "using their software", but isn't anymore, even though it's just invoking the same harness non-interactively
dukky··on AI could be the end of the digital wave, not the next big thing
I thought this comment was going the opposite way - previously no internet/googling but now you can run a local model and figure things out without the need for internet at all
dukky··on Kids and music lessons: why do many promising players quit early?
I'd agree with this distinction between classical (nylon stringed acoustic) and electric guitar, but steel stringed acoustic plays very similar to electric. I agree that people tend to play different things on them but if you're playing both with a pick you're doing the same techniques on both.
dukky··on Irish vet fails oral English test needed to stay in Australia
I believe cannonpr meant that no English language proficiency tests were required to be taken as part of the citizenship tests, as they accept a large number of qualifications (and thus only need to take the test if you do not hold one of these qualifications). So while you might have to take a test, it is separate from the UK citizenship tests.
dukky··on People's underestimation of AI
A program running on the JVM could do any of those three, I meant more in general that the exact state of a computer program can be seen in terms of memory, while the human brain is still more of a black box (perhaps this will change in the future?)
dukky··on People's underestimation of AI
Counterexample: an AI can give you a full stacktrace and memory dump or allow you to attach a debugger when it makes an error.
dukky··on Google Cloud Platform Icon Library for Architecture Diagrams
Not sure if the 'diagram examples' at the bottom of the page is supposed to have links, but it doesn't.
dukky··on Deprecating Non-Secure HTTP
But https doesn't 'let you know for sure that the content is exactly what the owner of the site intended' as it doesn't protect you from xss
dukky··on Why I sometimes hate JavaScript
I really don't see why this isn't a syntax error

What is actually being done with the calls after the chain of +'s?

Edit: Something to do with semicolons being optional in js?

dukky··on How One Stupid Tweet Blew Up Justine Sacco’s Life
Are 'admins' on wikipedia more like 'moderators' than actual admins? The word admin to me makes me think of someone who runs something and makes the rules, not always being held to them themselves.
