Yeah, there is a level of organizational trust that is required to use this tool (as with any system that allows distributing access via service accounts).

We do signal to Claude that there's a difference between a conversation's initiator versus incoming participants and we've found that in situations where people disagree on an approach, Claude patiently waits for a resolution while correcting any misunderstandings.

It's also worth mentioning that since Claude has its own identity, a coworker cannot enter a thread and commandeer _your_ identity; you collectively steer how Claude acts with its _own_ identity (it opens PRs as itself, browses Datadog as itself, etc).

there is certainly code that sucks; but the article strikes me as someone conflating "code that sucks" with "code that is complex and big and takes a while to get used to".

I have found that a lot of the "massive amounts of bad code" left behind by "rockstar developers" is actually just a long slow drip of added complexity in the face of changing requirements. and I find that people think they're "refactoring the code for readability" when a lot of times, they are actually just "rewriting the code and therefore understanding it in that process".

automated war machines are plenty to stop an angry mob imo.

Well said. I think a more honest article would’ve been if the author just said “they aren’t conscious because that feels kinda weird and crazy, amirite?”

But in this "Elysium"-like scenario, that same class would have automated protection in place that makes them ~untouchable and capable of keeping the rest of humanity incapable of pushing back.

wow, I've been wanting a "PCB design system" like this for such a long time. I've always found it stupidly hard to just take an existing working board and tweak it.

worth noting that silver macbooks are also anodized aluminum, so you'll also be filing off anodization

I'm always afraid of the day Logitech takes this away. Somebody should try to make an open source deploy of this too.

I've been pretty happy with my ASUS ProArt PA32QCV (32", 6k, but only 60Hz). Kinda infuriating that Apple doesn't let you adjust third-party monitor brightness though (and my work disallows apps like BetterDisplay).

It's not black and white. There is an entire spectrum of completely justifiable and extremely questionable uses of military power by the US.

Being labeled a supply chain risk means that companies with government contracts cannot use Anthropic products _for those government contracts_, not that they have to cease all usage of Anthropic products. Reporters seem to be reporting on this incorrectly.

This sounds like a case of a bias called availability heuristic. It'd be worth remembering that you often don't notice people who are polite and normal nearly as much as people who are rude and obnoxious.

Totally agree. The author's most significant example is two code snippets that are quite similar and both pretty nice.

I agree with your points in general but also, when I plugged in the parent comment's nonsense question, both Claude 4.5 Sonnet and GPT-5 asked me what I meant, and pointed out that it made no sense but might be some kind of metaphor, poem, or dream.

This is referred to as “online reinforcement learning” and is already something done by, for example Cursor for their tab prediction model.

I'm a little confused, is this rage bait or what?

> Things were fine before they became mainstream

As in, things were fine before we had commonplace tooling to fetch third party software?

> package files that are set to grab the latest version

The three primary Node.js package managers all create a lockfile by default.

Or the company could at least leave it easy to hack :)
