What is it about the food pictures in this article. Maybe it’s because I’ve just eaten but they make me slightly nauseous.

I get Kimi through OpenCode Zen (kind of like openrouter for the OpenCode harness), periodically top up $20 and laugh every time I see my balance go down by 3 cents for something I would have happily paid someone $30.

As a kid I noticed that repairing things is the perfect way to combine experiential learning and "thinkism" - you have to develop a mental model of how something should work, what's broken, and how to fix it. Then you combine

This is a great resource, thank you! The last time I did anything in assembler was x86 under DOS. Your code makes ARM64 with a modern OS less scary than I thought it would be.

This is gorgeous. I’m very afraid if I buy one it will trigger a wave of revulsion for normal everyday products and I’ll become one of these obsessive people who talk about fonts.

I prefer this writing style 100x over the bland AI assisted garbage that I have to read every day. Give me something with an opinion, personality and evidence of battle scars any day. There’s actually extra signal here that helps me process

The amount of knowledge in the heads of the engineers and socialized through storytelling with each other is immense, and immensely valuable. Really smart customers know this too, and some would refuse to reorder or renew their maintenance

I remember learning this lesson. I’d bought some new clothes and worn them to the office. I got more appreciation from my manager than from the entire heroic 6 month death march to ship the last product release.

There’s no need to defend LLMs. The article is making the point that a colleague who shouldn’t have been anywhere near specifying work for LLMs to do, was able to fake it and get rewarded for it.

So let me be the one to invite ridicule and scorn by admitting I wrote my own auth code. It was fiddly and boring at the same time. It also wasn’t rocket science, and it works well. I’ll be the first to admit that there are cases where this

Massive amount of slowly boiling frog going on here. Freedom of the press? What a quaint notion. Reminiscent of the time when people used to believe in the constitution. Remember those days?

I remember CNN bursting onto the scene. It was revolutionary. Although there was never (even today) enough news to fill a 24hr period. Just endless repeats of the same block of news.

The article is wrong with their Apple example. The cheapest Mac mini with the smallest amount of RAM is no longer available, but the next larger config is available at the same unchanged price point.

The App Store is in no way Apple’s primary source of revenue. Apple also makes healthy margins on its hardware products.

Showdead is quite a disheartening experience - there’s just so much LLM generated crap. The dead internet theory doesn’t feel as fringe as it once did.

This is such good advice! The expectation at Starbucks is that the exchange with the barista is super short anyway so you really can’t go wrong. Instead of saying “I’ll have the Danish”, try to turn it into a two-sentence exchange initially

The article mentions the ads in Amsterdam's bus stops being dominated by chicken nuggets, SUVs and low-budget holidays. I've visited Amsterdam several times and those dense touristy areas indeed felt like any grubby US city. Looki

8 months of work, and it shows. Phenomenal result! The thing that blew my mind as a kid on the original Lisa was the power button. You pressed it and it didn’t immediately cut the power like a PC, it was a request to cut the power and the O

You can put two of these back to back with the transmit and receiver wires crossed, and type straight from one to the other. Did this as a kid to chat with my little sister in another room.
