"s" for just this session. "ENTER" for use it and set it as the default.
lobocinza··on Sonnet 5.5
You don't need to have well written specifications. Just need to point it in the right direction and to know what you are doing so you can ask it to generate a plan, review and then ask it to implement.
lobocinza··on Sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of mortality risk than sleep duration (2023)
Magnesium, melatonin and none of the other supplements really worked for me.

I microdose with an specific drug and it did help improve my sleep. I know it's not placebo because sometimes I forget to take it and it coincides in the sleep log with worse sleep.

Anyway this drug isn't a panacea but a paliative while a treat the root cause. In my case it is a stress-related disorder and the real treatment isn't quick and easy, it requires life changes.

lobocinza··on Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions
Godot is a good engine but the devs are activists.
lobocinza··on HackerRank open sourced its ATS. My resume scored 90/100. Oh wait 74. No – 88

lobocinza··on U.S. allows Anthropic to release Mythos AI to ‘trusted’ US organizations
This is great for open-source tooling and models. And bad for AI hype which depends on exponential continuous growth.
lobocinza··on Identity verification on Claude
But they have all other data as well and this concentration is dangerous.

Worse than that. You're funding models and an ecossystem that discriminates you.
lobocinza··on Hyundai buys Boston Dynamics
For when they don't work pretty well and for a thousand other things besides trimming grasss.
lobocinza··on Sixty percent of US consumers say 'AI' in brand messaging is a turnoff
This generalization is false. As a customer I've seen good implementation of LLMs in products and liked it. I don't think they weŕe revolutionary but they filled gaps in the interface. Also the models, so fair, are trained to be useful, honest and to follow user instructions. Which is a breeze from the standard pattenrs.

You may think that it would be better to talk with a human than with a chatbot but the sad reality is that the humans working at customer support behave more like a bot than the LLMs do. YMMV but in most cases I'd rather talk to an LLM.

lobocinza··on Amazon CEO's talks with U.S. officials triggered crackdown on Anthropic models
Let everyone feed their hardest problems for a week. Get their data for free without giving much in return. Just a thought.

Anyway you guys are trying to extrapolate reason and fairness from politics and bureaucratic logic. Amazon concerns even if unfunded triggered US Gov action which demanded Anthropic to pause Fable. Anthropic didn't comply and is being made an example via export restriction.

lobocinza··on Amazon CEO's talks with U.S. officials triggered crackdown on Anthropic models
I'm sure Amazon was malicious just no sure if their goal while eliciting the government was to harm Anthropic or provide free marketing for a company they hold 20% and that accounts to 6% of their value.
lobocinza··on CRISPR tech selectively shreds cancer cells, including "undruggable" cancers
Utilitarianism can justify that kind of policy/behavior. It makes economical sense, with your free the burden of society it free resources so people be more productive, afford things, live happier lifes (at least on the material sense), have children.

Though I don't subscribe to utilitarianism or the notion that the value of an human being can be reduced to its economical aspects. It's not my moral compass.

The dangers of giving agency to a model that is highly technically competent but have no illative sense whatsoever.
lobocinza··on Claude Fable is relentlessly proactive
What is intelligence? Better to call it LLM.
lobocinza··on Claude Fable is relentlessly proactive
Opus also do this kind of tehcnically competentent but dumb deviations to fix a simple issue where asking for input would be better. Models have no illative sense.
lobocinza··on If Claude Fable stops helping you, you'll never know
Could you explain why?

They have no illative sense like we do.

lobocinza··on How LLMs work
Maybe due to lack of data and dimensions other than words.
lobocinza··on Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level, sources say
The same Noam Chomsky which was a friend of Epstein which had ties to Israel high schelon.

Let's not forget the asymmetry. If someone calls that modern Israel isn't the biblical Israel and that in biblical terms it's closer to the "synagogue of Satan" (Revelation 2:9) it risks being persecuted, ostracized, fired, prosecuted, jailed, murdered.

You shouldn't dismiss Israel power in cultural warfare, financial and political ties. Epstein was probably the tip of the iceberg.

And that can be recognized without diminishing the intrinsic dignity of every human being that live in Israel and outside of it independently of race, nationality, religion, etc.

Who do you think will bleed when they race to enshitify their products? The company where users have lower expecations or the one where they have higher?

It's not anarchism. Catholicism isn't anti-hierarchy.

This citation come from a document that condemns unrestrained capitalism. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadragesimo_anno)

You don't have to be a superhero to be solidary. Subsidiarity goes against this idea of the necessity of an all encompassing centralized state. There are things that are better done at the local level.

lobocinza··on Canada to order military plane fleet from Sweden in shift from US suppliers
The fancy doodads 5th generation has is reduced radar signature, improved sensors and data-link. The 5th generation can see and fire against a 4th gen fighter and evade before being detected and it can do that without EWACS (which are big, slow and easy to kill). That's why the US has a gap on replacing the current EWACS because it doesn't really need them.
