Nice. How does pornhub.com "verify" your age when accessing it from your family computer's Ububtu account "my kids account"?

Oh, there is no config to retrieve, no We API to speak to.

"I'm 18 or older"-button it is. Is that a workable solution?


Was it ever a trap? I don't think so.

Sure, these people could have "worked" for their money, self-employed or as a "wagey in a cagey", but the whole point was that they didn't want to do it.


What if you want to share something outside of your precious IDE?

- Merge request on GitHub - Presentation with reveal.js (kind of like PowerPoint)

You'd be stuck with either bland, uncoloured, text-only characters, OR with a fuzzy PNG screenshot where you can't zoom or copy. Or maybe you "parse R" with Regex.

tree-sitter integrates into any web-based technology, allowing you to _share_ code.


Yes, your comment really should be the focus of article, i.e. genuinely new capabilities and improvements, not existing capabilities done a slightly different way. In any case it’s a minor nitpick and it’s awesome progress for the language and tooling

I, for one, expected progress. Uneven, sometimes delayed, but ever increasing progress.

But that Opus pelican?


They're certainly aware of the test, but a turtle doing a kickflip on a skateboard? I seriously doubt they train their models for that.

If anything, the disastrous Opus4.7 pelican shows us they don't pelicanmaxx


I think I found the leaked Claude Mythos version of the turtle benchmark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l82XWTKLZuk

"Es ist aus" can also be translated as "It is over" (a game)

The meaning in dog schools is "Spit it out", but given aus's versatility within human language, it's often used as a general "stop" command. As in "aus", stop playing.


"Hey private prison please delete all data you have about me. And by the way, I'm locked up here by accident. Please release me."

Honestly private prisons are a farce anyways, so yeah this seems valid to me. The government doesn't get to get out of its obligations to citizens by outsourcing to third parties, and third parties don't get to wield government-level authority without government-level accountability.

The ambiguity is intentional. Like Microsoft not banning volume licenses. They want to scare you, so you don't max out your subscription – which they sell at a loss.

Another comparison would be "unlimited storage", where "unlimited" means some people will abuse it and the company will soon limit the "unlimited."


Literally yeah, the ambiguity is just so they can boycott anytime they want, people underestimate Anthropic too much, obviously they have insane amount of scrappers, bots... no comments online is made without their awareness and analyzed by a bunch of agents that then do prediction and for sure so much more. They know exactly what they are doing.

Commits are immutable and you never know which feedback goes stale when you add another commit.

I'm not a huge fan, since stacked PRs mean the underlying issues don't get addressed (reviews clearly taking too long, too much content in there), but it seems they want something that works for their customers, right now, as they work in real life.


> Commits are immutable

I guess this is why you're getting downvoted. Commits can be edited.


When you edit a commit, it creates a new commit. They are immutable. You can still find the old commit via the reflog, until it gets eventually gc'd.

If I had to guess a reason they were downvoted (and I didn't downvote, to be clear), it's probably because people see stacked diffs as specifically solving "reviews clearly taking too long, too much content in there", and so it feels contradictory. Then again, as I said, I didn't downvote!


I agree with the sentiment but hash collisions can occur with different content which doesn’t really make them immutable.

Thank you for the correction.

I don't even know my locale.

Is is the device display language, the keyboard input language, my geo location, my browser language, my legal location, my browser-preferred website language, the language I set last time, the language of the domain (looking at amazon.co.uk), the language that was auto-selected last time for me on mobile or... something else entirely?


Exactly. Under Windows, this isn't even consistent across applications. I'm in France, with the location set to France, using English display language and "English (Europe)" formatting. This means that the expected date is DD/MM/YYYY. It's what shows up in the taskbar, for example. But many applications seem to do this based on language, so I sometimes get MM/DD/YYYY.

I don't normally run Windows, so I can't check right now, but I think it's mostly "modern" applications that mess this up. Like the MS Store, Teams (obviously).


the only locale i know about is the windows one that's hidden in some menu that i had to set to japan to get some random application to run, and now all of my backslashes look like yen symbols :P ... maybe i won't get mm/dd/yyyy now!
