I haven’t found llm code gen to be very good except in cases like you mention here. When you need to do large boilerplatey code with a lot of hardcoded values or parameters. The kind of thing you could probably write a code generator yours

So you’re telling me you spent 20 dollars and an entire day for 200 lines of JavaScript and 75 lines of python and this to you constitutes a working re-creation of Claude Code? This is why expectations are all out of whack.

I used Presenterm for a work presentation recently. Being able to seamlessly transition from slides to example code in Vim is really, really nice. No need to jungle multiple windows, just terminal tabs or even ctrl+z/fg. Plus it looks

It’s only a thing for the M1. Asahi is a Sisyphean effort to keep up with new hardware and the outlook is pretty grim at the moment. Apple’s whole m.o. is to take FOSS software, repackage it and sell it. They don’t want people using it dire

People are paying the richest company in the world for their software crisis on Linux.

I installed windows 11 in a VM on my Linux machine for some testing recently. You still have to agree to allow MS to sell your information about 5 times during setup, and you're rewarded with Candy Crush and Xbox apps in your startup m

There's more than 2 sides to the fence. Desktop Linux is actually awesome, even better if you are even remotely technical.

The last 2 books I’ve bought (ostep and nand2tetris) are available online. Hard copies are nice and personally seeing it on my desk gives more more motivation to finish them.

I’d never heard of viva insights. Looked it up. Do people actually use this stuff? Who? Why? It looks like something middle management would use to generate a few plots in order to justify their useless jobs. I’d run from any employer that

That’s what it’s always been. That’s what pays for you to have the ability to send a letter across the country to some rural area for 30 cents. That’s how it works.

It implies knowing your boss owns X and you shouldn’t need to write a downloader at all, direct DB access is more efficient, they should know this they’ve been doing a lot of it lately.

Exactly, these look like baby’s first JavaScript projects. Surprising considering these doge employees are supposed to be genius coder whiz kids, and yet this looks like the work of someone following a tutorial to write their first tweet do

I actually laughed out loud at this. “We can’t say we don’t sell your data because some places have definitions of “sell” that are legally difficult to interpret, for example”: <completely unambiguous definition of selling follows>

This is what people don't get. US military spending IS a huge part of the economy. It's jobs. It's not like all the money goes up in smoke. Some of it does, in the form of munitions, but someone has to make those too and the

I think traditionally anti war meant being opposed to aggression, for example the United States invasion of Iraq to maintain oil interests. Ukraine is a western country invaded by an enemy of the west. You can still be anti violence but it’

OK that does ring a bell. The whole project always seemed a little on the scammy side and I wasn't sure what the browser actually brought to the table that Firefox didn't, so why even check it out?

Wasn't their entire original premise the Basic Attention Token? It was some kind of crypto that you'd buy and then the browser would block ads for you and instead pay a small amount to the website owners. Problem was if the websit

I'd amend this list to place anything that can run UBO (the real version, not kneecapped lite version that now runs on chrome) at the top. AFAIK that still only includes Firefox and derivatives.

When was Microsoft known for being anything but a provider of bloated software?

No but the good 'ol boys from back east were the ones that used to make it so it's fine.

Some new laptops cannot actually fully suspend to ram. It sounds crazy but I had this issue even after installing Linux on a laptop. It’s a hardware limitation. You can thank Microsoft for trying to make sure they can sneak in OS updates wh

I really hope that this was just a crappy mockup that the founders didn't spend any actual time on. Because if it is a fully fledged product, I'm not sure what that says about the many people at YC and elsewhere that gave it a pas

What’s the point of using a distribution if you need to find back ports or build your own? Distros are, after all, mostly collections of installable software.

UV doesn’t require an entire duplicated PyPI repository, so there’s that.

I’m interested in this. What it the best way to learn the material? The book? The coursera course? Both? It’s a bit hard to tell just from the website.
