I pay for Kagi to get better search results. Lately, I’ve felt that Kagi’s search has been just as full of low-information and AI generated results as Google. I’ve been wondering why I’m still paying for it. This seemed like a good litmus t

The program perhaps most responsible for the renewed interest in the terminal, Claude Code, is made with React. Life moves pretty fast.

What models are you all using with Pi? How much are you paying on monthly or weekly basis for your usage? I'm very interested in it, but my budget is constrained and the usage granted by a $20/month Claude plan seems much more aff

I really wish they were called lessons instead of skills. It makes way more sense and prevents the overloading of the term "skill".

You haven't addressed the parent's concern at all, which is that what the LLM was trained on, not what was fed into its context window. The Linux driver is almost certainly in the LLM's training data. Also, the "spec&quo

Without more information about how the system works, a casual "eh if I don't grant location data access to shady apps I'm probably safe" seems very risky. What apps are "shady"? How does the real-time bidding s

This isn't a criticism of you, I don't know your full story. But I think many people have a misconception of the role of an ER. I know an ER doctor well, and the role of an ER is to, in approximate order of priority: 1. Prevent so

If so, then we can at least put that myth to rest and move closer to a real solution. The only potential downside I see here is that maybe it pushes the real solution a bit further down the road.

We’re not talking about a measure of computational progress here. We’re talking about visually representing how much time has elapsed out of a fixed duration. This is exactly where progress indicators shine, the total time for the thing to

Without understanding the level of detail required, which we do not yet know, we cannot say. When I think of English specifications that (generally) aim to be very precise, I think of laws. Laws do not read like plain, common language, beca

Year over year, we eat more junk food and get more overweight than the previous year. This demonstrates that junk food and fat are becoming increasingly useful and beneficial.

Everything you just said is, through another lens, the boons of Discord. Lack of discoverability and permanence are a big part of why communities are moving and forming there.

Git (the version control program, not GitHub) associates the author’s email address with every single commit. The user of Git configures this email address. This isn’t secret information.

Are they not proud of their work and publicly displaying their names as the authors of the project?

People have forgotten so many of the software engineering lessons that have been learned over the last four decades, just because now it’s a computer that can spit out large quantities of poorly-understood code instead of a person.

Nothing says reduce and reuse like building huge quantities of GPUs and massive data centers to run AI models. It’s like composting!

The idea is that they let you stay locked in for free. They dissuade people from making their CI pipeline forge-agnostic by charging you if you if you take steps to not be dependent on them. This means they can keep charging in other areas,

This is like the reverse centaur form of coding. The machine tells you what to make, and the human types the code to do the thing.

No, I think it would be far easier to pick 100 flies each from a single bowl of soup than to pick all 1000 flies out of a 50 gallon drum. You don’t get to fix bugs in code by simply pouring it through a filter.

As far as I can tell, this is false. The CDC did not offer guidance which said that protests should be treated differently from other outdoor events. If you can demonstrate otherwise, please do so.
