"which is when I said that I did not understand why one would risk their career [over unfounded accusations]. Genuinely, at that moment, I was trying to care for him"
"Our aim was to see whether our system was also capable of this impressive feat"
"OpenAI's intention was to do everything possible to celebrate their mathematical achievements and the heroic efforts that they made on Euler"
For some reason I have a hard time believing people when they use language like this.
phrases along the lines of "I don't want you to take harm while trying to accuse us" is quite an "impressive feat".
Maybe shows how fast these companies have grown without maturing. I can imagine old-world Intel and Microsoft acting in that way, but they were mature enough to not write it down like this.
However, Intel and Microsoft have been grilled in court for those practices and faced harsh consequences. I have yet to see this actually happening to any of these new AI-companies...
It’s what you make of it and who you surround yourself with.
Some people treat it like a music festival and chase DJs the whole week. Some people immerse themselves in the rest of the culture.
The demographics have definitely been skewing wealthier over time, but it’s still around 50% under $100k income and 10% over $300,000 according to the (admittedly unscientific) census.
It’s inevitable cool and interesting things will evolve, and the people there early will bemoan how it used to be cooler.
No, it's not inevitable. Burning Man is just making excuses for selling out.
Look at how high school kids dress these days. The cool kids today style themselves much the same way as the cool kids did back in the 2000's, the 1980's, the 1950's, and to some extent even back to the 1930's.
Blue jeans and white t-shirts. Concert shirts. Doc Martins. The infamous "little black dress." Dorm room posters and pin-ups. Even hair styles. Some things are "classic" and always cool. Burning Man isn't one of them.
Fair. My less cynical take is Burning Man made the choice that what they had created should be experienced by lots of people, even at the expense of it being a little less cool or counter-culture.
Personally I think the world is a little better off by it going somewhat mainstream.
That's what I suspected, but it's actually pretty weird to associate "rectum" as it's quite a dissimilar word, sharing nothing but a few letters. Like, "referendum" sounds like ass too? I mean weird, unless that's where your mind is anyway.
In most coding harnesses you can just instruct the agent to do so. When using Fable, I often say things like:
> Save your context. Always use a subagent (Opus 5 or GPT 5.6) for performing the implementation and then review the work yourself. You are the orchestrator and coordinator it’s up to you to ensure a cohesive final result.
I’ve done more or less the same thing with other agents/versions but with Fable consuming usage credits/tokens so quickly I do it more regularly than usual. I know people who will specify Composer (to my chagrin) as the implementing agent.
Addendum: this really goes a long way, and I can use a single chat session for days before I get into the context danger zone and need to compact/summarize.
> As I age I realize you need to entice the user with more value and service - anew features
Is this true of operating systems for most people?
Personally I’d take macOS from 15 years ago (with security bug fixes and new hardware support, assuming modern apps still worked, but no new features) over today’s Windows any day.
