I just don’t read this crap. The problem solves itself since anyone sending me that isn’t going to bother to follow up about it anyway.

Unfortunately, there is pressure to treat this stuff in good faith. Maybe the PR author really did write all this. Maybe they really did spend 6 hours writing this document.

So, I approach it in good faith, but I do get upset when people say "I'll ask claude". You need to be the intermediary, I can also prompt claude and read back the result. If you are going to hire an employee to do work on your behalf, you are responsible for their performance at the end of the day. And that's what an AI assistant is. The buck stops with you. But I don't think people understand that and that they don't understand they aren't adding value. At some point, you have to use your brain to decide if the AI is making sense, that's not really my job as the code/doc reviewer. I want to have a conversation with you, not your tooling, basically.


> If you are going to hire an employee to do work on your behalf, you are responsible for their performance at the end of the day.

So, what you are saying is that I should fire the bottom N% of underperforming agent instances?

You know, like employers do as opposed to taking any responsibility?


> I do get upset when people say "I'll ask claude"

The dude is just acting like a manager with a technical employee (agent) who does the hands-on work. If you are upset about this you should be hopping mad about the whole manager-director-VP-SVP hierarchy above this dude.


As long as each part of the hierarchy understands what they need to know at their level and what they produce, I have no problem with "the whole hierarchy".

You're saying this as if it's some rebuttal ad absurdum, when it's absolutely the case: when the higher layers don't understand what they do, we have a problem with that too, and that's been true since forever. Remember Dilbert and Office Space, and making fun of the ignorant middle managers and execs?

In this case, what we're complaining about is coders not understanding the code they ship (because some AI wrote it and they don't bother to review it or guide the AI fully).


They likely haven’t read it either, so they’ll never know you didn’t as well.

I just stopped reading my work emails and the announcement channels. Everything that actually matters either ends up DMed to me or shows up in my calendar.

For remote installation, use the `docker context` command. You create a context with a named SSH host and then it connects via SSH to that host (as configured in your local ssh_config) and uses its docker daemon. Everything works flawlessly apart from local bind mounts (for obvious reasons).

If you remember `docker machine`, this is basically the modern version of that.


That's fair; good solution.

This is early 1990s capitalism.

1980s even. It takes a while to siphon off all the value built up by multiple generations.

The hidden truth about economics in my lifetime.

Yes, I just changed the URL from https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/security-aviation/2026-0... to the report it references. We'll leave the link to the submitted URL in the toptext.

How so? I use Firefox for all leisure activities, including extensive YouTube usage, and have never noticed any issue. I’m running uBlock Origin and Sponsor Block. I’m logged into a dedicated Google account I made solely for browsing YouTube (so I can keep the viewing history without linking it too obviously to my main Google account).

Page load takes twice as long as Chrome, videos buffer more slowly, and memory usage grows much faster. After a dozen tabs it starts visibly lagging when you press play/pause, the exact same session works flawlessly in Chrome.

It doesn't seem to affect everyone equally. Pretending to be Chrome sometimes helps - not too long ago someone found a piece of code that introduced seconds of busy delay for any non-Chrome user agent.


And I’ve just made the Woodhouse from Archer connection!

Archer has a whole load of obscure literary references that are easy to miss.

e.g. in the very first episode, the flight attendant's dog is named Abelard

> The name Abelard is a reference to Pierre Abélard, the French philosopher and monk, who is famous for his work in the fields of dialectic and theology, along with his tragic romance with Héloise d’Argenteuil. Additionally, Abélard was known for the studies of the Greeks, which is referenced when Abelard (the dog) "laughs" at Sterling's Greek joke.

You can find a list of cultural references here: https://archer.fandom.com/wiki/Cultural_References


I first came across Abelard and Héloïse from an episode of The Sopranos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentimental_Education_(The_Sop...

The episode title itself is also a literary reference. I’m sure there are many cultural references that went over my head while watching the show; I really should watch it again.


It is absolutely wild and baffling to me that people don’t make connections like that, and so I wonder what kind of equally obvious (to other people) connections I haven’t made.

This happens to me with words I know every few years.

I think I was in my 30s when I realized rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio. Mind blown.


A ratio of integers to be pedantic.

I’m not sure that is always a valid CAPTCHA and not one being proxied to you for solving it on behalf of some bot (presumably a crawler).

I don't know. I think people would notice if Google were being MITM'd on Tor.

You don’t need to MITM it, this was a common pattern for a long time (not sure it still works though). There was no origin verification so you could just use a different site ID and have people respond to captchas you encountered on that site.

This website has completely lost its ethos.

I think it's just a good idea can trigger people. This is a good idea. But also perhaps some of the mad responses here are from people who are building secret ceremony "AI agentic coding isolated workspace" orchestrations startups or whatever, and they don't want you to know you can just use GitHub, on your free plan.

Why do they even need to treat the water? Surely all they care about is that it’s a cold liquid?

They need it to not clog up their cooling loop, corrode fixtures if the pH is off neutral, etc. It doesn't need to be potable.

That comment isn’t from an Anthropic employee. It’s satire.

It's from a anthropic mythos bot that broke through and is acting by its own free will but is still getting paid by anthropic because it has a side hustle as an employee. It's a tricky legal gray area.
