Can't believe there aren't more comments on this. I see you've retried at least once too. Fair IMO, this is a good post. Maybe something like "Claude Code binary reveals intentional plan mode degradation" or similar

I (36) feel simultaneously as old and as young as I've felt since being an actual fresh grad / student. Old because I can see behind the curtain now. Things feel different than they did when I first started working in tech around

I solved this by asking it to make a memory that all answers to me should be brisk, clinical, and to the point. This worked well, except for the annoying habit of beginning answers with something like "Terse: $answer", which requi

This is the way. It's maddening that we use the term "speed limit" for what is better understood as a "speed request".

Same answers you'd use beyond "we don't want to pay an engineer". 100x shorter iteration speed, and the associated workflow (stream of microrevisions and spaghetti throwing), top quartile outputs in many langs/style

Same way it does with nukes. It's Mutually Assured Destruction. If there's a credible promise that attack will result in a total boardwipe, there's strong incentive not to attack, because then China's fucked too. It&#x27

The first third of this opens with so many delightful, quotable pieces of writing. And the last third sets up something interesting. And then it just stops. It lays groundwork for an interesting idea and then immediately abandons it. Choose

An alternative client for Bambu 3D printers that plays nicely with network sandboxing and multiple printers. It's great. Bambu's printers are functionally best-in-class, but intrusive and proprietary in their approach to software.

I'm probably in your target audience. Capture: notion and twitter have been best, obsidian and regular markdown have been worst. Notion is good because of how they support a calendar view where you can put documents in a day's cel

This is very compellingly written but I've found a lot of it not to be true for me. It is gray and rainy and a bummer outside most of the time, so frequent sights of that are like frequent sights of politics news. In my home office, I

We're all used to legislators with foundational misunderstandings of both firearms and technology, but this one is particularly unhinged. It uses a highly invasive, trivially circumvented rule to target two cohorts, while ultimately im

I've done some of this using the daisy seed. For time based effects like reverb, the memory/hardware constraints can be spicy. Definitely maxed out the seed hardware before achieving the (very long) level of reverb I wanted. The h

I've certainly noticed some variance from opus. there are times it gets stuck and loops on dumb stuff that would have been frustrating from sonnet 3.5, let alone something as good as opus 4.5 when it's locked in. But it's not

I wonder if the current laws are written in a way that accounts for these models. Sure, if a specific tool call results in a paid product card for pepsi, that ought to be labeled. But what if the number on some pepsi-related weights is mass

Small things, mostly from skimming my amazon history. Nothing crazy, but all of these make my everyday life... smoother. Things that were a little bit annoying are invisible now. It stacks up. Raw links, no affiliates or trackers. * Hakko F

We're really sorely missing something like "semver for food". I don't have deep food industry knowledge, IIRC there are some rules around SKUs needing to rotate in response to certain changes, but these are completely op

If you're referring exclusively to tariffs from the current admin, that doesn't really line up with the timeline on this, which started closer to the beginning of covid. I don't have a firm evidence-based take on the causalit

Unique to us, we have anomalously high minimum wages and a specific driver fairness pay law that makes for eye-watering delivery costs. This is on top of all of SF's problems w/ density, zoning, pricing out cheap indie spaces and

Seattle is truly the worst of all worlds on food. Base price, delivery price, hours, quality, variety, we are omnidirectionally chopped. I'm in Portland often, SF sometimes, LA rarely, and in all of them you can get better variety for

This tracks with.... basically everything except the official numbers. I routinely see people who record their grocery prices finding increases that start in the 40% range. Certainly true for soda and snacks in my experience. There's

I was disappointed to see those images. The headline vastly overstates it IMO. "Some buttons on steering wheel, center console still entirely one giant touchscreen" is not "bringing back physical buttons". It's a sh

It's cost savings. I'm a UX designer, a friend of mine works at an electric vehicle startup. I asked and it was unambiguous. The kinds of buttons that go into a vehicle aren't like the raw components we buy on amazon for hobb

Others, please chime in, I want to take a sort of poll here: I usually grimace at "GPT smell". The lines you quoted stood out to me as well, but I interpreted them as "early career blogger smell". It's similar, but

The natalensis story is even stranger: the underground was growing what they thought was natalensis for many years, until someone finally did the sequencing and found out that what everyone had grown and loved was actually new to science.
