Ever more complex systems/technology are fine for some and not for others. Some people care about simplicity and the ability to maintain and repair the system themselves.

If it was a rocket stove, it was a very small very hot fire. I've had a bit of a love affair with rocket stoves lately (even replaced my BBQ/grill with one).

I don't want to be little your experience, but your self professed difficulties are not universal. Especially calling Linux hostile to users (as opposed to friendly Windows??) just seems like you don't like pepperoni pizza so you're going to tell us how horrible pepperoni pizza is for everyone.

It looks especially bad if you are someone who has left google behind for awhile. Guess its the whole slowly boiled thing. I feel the same way when I accidentally see television commercials. Cannot believe how bad they are now.

It does read exactly like Bateman in my head, but didn't pin it down until you helped. Still, that Dell monitor is pretty crazy itself.

Thank you. I did need a good chuckle to start the day right.

In your theory, what is the structure that supports sentience?

Stellar plasma supports long-lived, self-organizing magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) structures whose coupled electromagnetic and fluid dynamics implement distributed information processing. Sentience would supervene on these MHD attractors rather than on matter in a solid or neural form.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder what sort of stimulus such a system would be capable of perceiving. I suppose the context is so different that very little of my intuition about "life" could be applied productively.

Stimulus is the most interesting question. Is there anything that can reach from other stars to our sun without completely being overwhelmed by its own signals? Would it rely on planets as antennae? Calling that speculation would be an understatement;)

This sounds so complicated while I’m just here making my GUI interface with Visual Basic to trace an IP address.

Not when I use the word. Animals are the big creatures that move around. Guess I'm just a preschooler.

People confuse biological science with language, when they are not the same.

Yes, biologically we are animals (and some people behave like them — joke), but humans have used this term to differentiate us from other creatures.

We are very similar to chimpanzees genetically, and people keep bringing this up but we are very different to them in some ways.

I wonder if this is specific to Python. I've had no trouble like that with Claude generating Elixir. Claude sticks to the existing styles and paradigms quite well. Can see in the thinking traces that Claude takes this into consideration.

The danger there is not that it commit bad things, but that as part of working the task it gets tricked into sending your env/secrets/credentials to prompt injectors. That would not show up in your commit diff.

Edit: At the very least, I would not allow it to do indiscriminate web searching.

Why are you running CC with prod credentials.
