And if you want to use the (safety oriented!) CarPlay functionality, you HAVE to enable Siri, even if you'd rather not have the damned thing listening to you all the time.
Is this a problem with Claude updating code that a human wrote, though? Would Claude do better on code that it started on its own? Humans have a bad tendency to write unmaintainable code (usually at the behest of managers breathing down their necks to HURRY UP even when it doesn't matter). If the code had been designed with good coding practices from the beginning, I wonder if Claude would have struggled so much with it.
That implies that Claude writes better code by default, which isn’t necessarily true. Especially as projects get bigger, you can easily end up with unmaintainable LLM-written code if you don’t actively intervene and know a cleaner way.
Is it devs that haven't internalized this? Or management? Because I'd love to do this, but I always report to people who demand that everything be done in "a few days".
Our HOA is forced to use an email mailing list. Enough older people who don't use facebook... and now younger people who refuse. Maybe ask for a show of hands at the next meeting. Sentiments can change overnight. Especially with the meta stuff happening at the moment.
We use a SaaS provider for our HOA and it works well, but there is a monthly / annual cost for that. That said, people still insist on posting to Facebook but the group can easily turn to poison and sniping which is super awesome for being neighborly…
And if they don't, what then? What does a post-job society look like? I'm skeptical of communism, but I'm skeptical because it doesn't work in a society where some people need to do something (like raise crops) but aren't incentivized to do so. But if there's actually nothing humans need to do? The question is, will we reach logical conclusions peacefully or violently?
I remember when I was in 2nd grade or so (so, around 1982 or so), our teacher read us a passage from a book predicting the future: "and in the future, robots will do all the work so that people don't have to!" Even at 8 years old, I could see the problem with that: who decides who gets to live in the big house at the top of the hill and who has to live where I live?
I don't see this _fundamentally_ changing when robots do all the work, it will simply be a case that the individual labour value that most of us relied on will become less valuable and you will instead need to own a business or be a landlord if you want more.
Yes the percentage of people on welfare or UBI-only will increase, and those people will be vulnerable to the generosity of the state, who will certainly not be giving the big houses away.
On the other hand, imagine the average life potential when robots do everything:
- Even poorer neighbourhoods can be kept relatively clean and maintained
- Building materials and methods no longer revolve around limited human builders
- Manufacturing optimised for scale can now be optimised for personal requirements
- Home grown food, healthier food thats still convenient, no commuting etc
I believe humans should spend their lives with friends and family, improving their home and community, working on projects that fulfil them, raising their kids etc. This world we have built has become a corporate nightmare dystopia where we live to work.
I'm not an LLM, but that was my immediate thought - how new does a browser have to be to support these and which browsers am I excluding by using these features?
I hope to retire some day - to do that, I'm going to have to save up enough money in a brokerage account that it generates enough money for me to live off of. Will that make me a member of the parasite class? I'm willing to be a worker for as long as I can, but at some point I will be too physically old to keep doing it (plus which, nobody really wants to hire old people).
In your plan is an implicit assumption that those that cannot work do not deserve to have housing and food. This is a political choice made by a society.
