Yeah, Tailwind is great as long as you have some way to reuse markup, like React. You don't have to care about class names and whether CSS defined somewhere else affects styles of a current component at all. That last point makes sense for LLMs as well: all the styles that affect the current file are automatically in context since styling is local. Admittedly, there are other ways to achieve this but the ergonomics of Tailwind are just good. Having nice defaults and good training data is an added bonus.

The lack of single-file components is one of several reasons I wouldn't reach for React prior to the LLM craze[0]. For personal projects, I love Svelte. You wouldn't need tailwind there for the reasons proposed given their support for it.

[0] Things have probably changed, but Svelte 5 was a litmus test for how recent the data cutoff was for an LLM model. Meanwhile React _especially_ has no reason to change how the framework is used by coders. Thus there's years of scraped tutorials and sites for how to throttle a function or what-have-you in React.


You wouldn't need tailwind for svelte, but I've been using tailwind with svelte at work for years now and really like it

A challenge of releasing tech on a platform of people that are picky about tech.


Sometimes it feels like we're living in an episode of Silicon Valley, the show.


That just proves that perfect classification is impossible. Classification doesn't need to be 100% accurate to be useful.


The 80% accuracy from the article would be one reason to believe there's significant correlation, no?


I could probably find quite a lot of people who will tell you astrology is 80+% correct for them. Would you believe them or wait for an independent analysis? There are other AI "detector" systems out there that claim 99% accuracy. But independent research always found that they are actually garbage once used on real data. It's all in how you pick your tests. It's also funny to see how people on places like HN will easily dismiss stuff astrology, but fall for the exact same patterns when used in tech-y applications.


Well I don't think the position of planets when you're born has a large correlation to how your life will go.

On the other hand, how an AI writes will have a big correlation to whether the written text would likely be written by an AI.

The latter is more of a direct relationship.

Maybe A and B are not correlated, and Y and Z are? What pattern are people falling for here?


It's not really about the planets. It's about what other people believe about the planets.

You could work for a boss that's a Leo, and he/she believes only Leos deserve to get promoted, or that Leos and Scorpios should never be assigned together on a shared project. Your life and career trajectory under this boss could be totally different, depending on whether you were born a Leo or not.

Certainly "not all bosses" applies, but it's not really that farfetched or uncommon either. The point is that a correlation does exist, but it's a social one and not a physical or astronomical one (and it's also often a self-reinforcing/self-fulfilling one: Leos who read what astrology says Leos should do, may end up choosing to behave more like that).

So in the LLM example, it may not really matter much what physical markers of provenance or physical correlations there are, as social beliefs or perceptions about suspected provenance may be the strongest correlation anyways (in terms of impact and outcomes).


Why would sounding human be a goal rather than a byproduct of trying to communicate efficiently?


That is manager/executive/manager speak, real people don’t speak like that (unless they are in the aforementioned roles).


I just feel like, from the POV of AI companies, that reducing the amount of em dashes they use to "blend in" more and talk more human-like, for the sake of being less detectable, wouldn't be a big priority.


One of the big use case is cheating on your essay assignment.


The problem seems to be deeper rooted. Cursor doesn't see cloning a repo with Cursor and code execution as separate security boundaries.

Cursor ships with Workspace Trust disabled by default [0]. A repo that includes .vscode/tasks.json with "runOn": "folderOpen" will already run arbitrary code [1].

True. For Claude Code, I disabled explore subagents globally by adding this to ~/.claude/settings.json:

  "permissions": {
    "deny": [
      "Task(Explore)"
    ]
  }


Is Explore the only thing subagents are ever used for?


Should be

"Agent(Explore)"


You're right, looks like they changed it, though Task should still work.

> In version 2.1.63, the Task tool was renamed to Agent. Existing Task(...) references in settings and agent definitions still work as aliases.

That'll be $50 — please.


Maybe they added the comments to get a longer payload for the sake of the shirt's design.

The comments can be more cute/awe inspiring for people who aren't as familiar with bash but like solving puzzles as well.
