stop bullying me

I used Claude Design, it yielded a blank page and «usage limits reached»

@fchollet That’s a lesson from « The Planet of the Apes » :)

People struggle to differentiate fluid intelligence from knowledge because, given enough preparation, memorized templates become a solid substitute for on-the-fly adaptation

the siri scam

at this point apple should silently remove siri, it’s so embarrassing and no one would notice

@phl43 @cournape If you go with Claude (Code or Cowork), ask it explicitly to use the AskUserQuestion tool to interview you/brainstorm something (in the prompt directly, not CLAUde.md)

Okay, I think I really should learn to use agentic AI tools, but I have questions. I'd mostly like to use them for academic work that involves statistical analysis/modeling. I already use ChatGPT to think about the best way to analyze data or model a phenomenon and as a kind of StackExchange/StackOverflow on steroids to answer questions I have about to write small pieces of code doing a very specific thing. Ideally, I'd like to keep doing the first part as before, basically having a conversation with a LLM on various options to analyze data or model a phenomenon until I'm satisfied that I have found the best approach, but then it would be great if I could somehow give an agent access to the relevant data files, their documentation and it would write the code for the analysis from scratch based on the conclusion of our earlier discussion. It would also be great, in cases where the data don't exist in a readily exploitable format yet, if it could analyze PDF/Word documents and browse the web to collect the data and create CSV files or whatever in the right format based on the information they contain so I don't have to do that manually, before writing the code that will use those data to do the analysis I want to do. Claude Code seems to be all the rage at the moment, but I have no idea how to use it, so I was wondering if anyone knew a good tutorial that would teach me how to use to do that with it. I would much prefer it to be in the form of a blog post or a series of blog posts because I hate videos, but if you know a really great video for the kind of things I want to do with it I will consider it. Also, I already have a subscription to ChatGPT Plus and I'd rather not subscribe to a Claude plan in addition to that unless I have to, so I'm wondering if Codex would be a practical alternative to do the kind of work I just described.

When sonnet 4.5 came out, I found it awesome When opus 4.5 came out, I found it absolutely great Trying sonnet 4.5 again today, I am at 5 «f*ck»/«f*cking» per prompt Swear words per input token should be the golden measure of model quality. code

Writing quizzes is hard, OK?!

I found xavier dupont de ligonnès he was in my node_modules all this time

AI is great because it forces people to clearly write down their problem. Writing, still undefeated after 5000 years

Find you a language that brings joy #Clojure never ceases to marvel me with its conciseness and power I am working with Dato’s (datocms.com) API, but the pagination is a bit quirky and I wanted a lazy iterator over the response: iteration to the rescue!
