lucas_t_a··on Pi 1.0
i would argue that the way internet infrastructure in general already works as such system, local AI tools just set that as a commodity
lucas_t_a··on Responsible Release of AI-Generated Mathematics
It would be so much work to follow any of this that the answer is guarateed to be a no
lucas_t_a··on Small programming tricks
on fish shell i never felt the need for any of this, since pressing up does a history search on what you have typed
lucas_t_a··on Claude, change the “Add to Cart” button to blue
i like the decision prompts taking the whole fucking screen, so true.
lucas_t_a··on I-have-ADHD: A skill to stop coding agents from burying the answer
you can always use /rewind to go back, always work thinking "can i shorten or clear my context now? and how should i do it?"
lucas_t_a··on QBittorrent breaks out of sandbox to commit crimes
i think they call it a web browser, but it looks like it does not do that most of the time.
lucas_t_a··on GPT-6 Astra in code review: Gains, privacy, and cost
this touches one of the reasons opus 5 came by default with 200k context and 1M gated behind usage tokens, auto-compaction by default, and it keeps telling you to clear and start from scratch all the time, AI is does a better job fresh, telling multiple agents to pipe around ideas without the human intent is the worse thing you can do
lucas_t_a··on Which tools do Claude, Codex and Cursor choose? We measured 17k runs to find out
that's just making a good and complete product then
lucas_t_a··on Show HN: The load-bearing vocabulary of Claude
kinda of a conspiracy theory, but maybe this is why anthropic and other companies are looking into fingerprinting now
lucas_t_a··on Vomit: Clean up Claude 5's token output with a separate LLM
my hypothesis is that its trying to hide the thinking process so people can't train models on the output, try to learn anything complex using AI, its basically imposible, its like its actively fighting giving you the main rationale
lucas_t_a··on Everyone is building LLM routers, we deprecated ours
this idea of smaller tasks is me simply asking "quick question, foo?" to my fable 5 on max effort, the model just does it, and even gives a more complex answer on misunderstanding or a actually hard question
lucas_t_a··on Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol on an NP-Hard Problem: Does /goal help?
i let it run once to just generally find any bugs using all my quota, them once i get back to it i ran on effort /max to continue with explicit don't run workflows fix all yourself, it was ultra effective.

ultra becomes a mode where your model enhances your prompt them it is execution multiplied by all other agents, which have them going in all sorts of directions.

lucas_t_a··on Resetting Xbox
Baldur's Gate 3 and other games would them just release on a nintendo console, i don't think nintendo would outright refuse to take a whole sect of kinds of titles, the companies making the console and setting the ecosystem do make a difference but you exaggerate a bit.
lucas_t_a··on Wordgard: In-browser rich-text editor from the creator of ProseMirror
i loaded it, tried deleting by swipping backspace, it did not work...
lucas_t_a··on Half-Baked Product
> I think it’s the disconnect. Each persona is an expert in their own field but is completely oblivious to other critical areas.

its because the story just makes that assumption.

lucas_t_a··on LuaJIT 3.0 proposed syntax extensions
the oposite is also true, you can have misleading side effects coming from joining things into a single expression
lucas_t_a··on Prefer duplication over the wrong abstraction (2016)
this one comes to mind https://youtu.be/17KCHwOwgms
lucas_t_a··on Kirkland Roundabouts
you really cut through this one
lucas_t_a··on California moves to exempt Linux from its age-verification law after backlash
there must be an reasonable assumption of what counts as such in the first place. being modifiable and publicly available in both source and binary form sound like enough to me.
lucas_t_a··on California moves to exempt Linux from its age-verification law after backlash
it would be pointless to force software that can be modified to remove an age-verification to have age-verification. but maybe they can move to force distributed copies of linux to have age-verification, hopefully dealing with those complaints
lucas_t_a··on Improving C# Memory Safety
C# is too much of a you hold it wrong language, you can easily avoid the problem you describe, but it is such a pain, i do like the fact that the language constantly improves in all directions so it definitely does not remove its positive sides when you do a thing in the right way
lucas_t_a··on Googlebook
good luck scrapping very specific information in a bunch of dynamic websites before AI.
lucas_t_a··on I let AI build a tool to help me figure out what was waking me up at night
concatenating cats is useless use of cat, you can just provide more arguments instead
lucas_t_a··on Unsigned sizes: A five year mistake
it did decide that javascript is necessary to enable correct contrast
lucas_t_a··on VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage
please no more popups on vscode, im begging you
