I love that there's not only the internals of a standard three-hand, but the automatic mechanism as well. If you're going pure mechanical, an automatic is the best way. As long as you actually move during the day the watch general

It's that last S in SaaS that builds the moat around companies like this. Even if you can make the Software, it's on you to provide the Service as well if you go that route. Quite a lot of companies simply don't want to self-

That's amusing, and I think it's something different than it appears. The models always predict over the existing context. If it's full of a certain tone, then the responses will carry that tone. I've been bored before

Kindness is that, yes. Fundamentally, though, it's about being considerate in one's actions so as to not harm others. If someone truly believes that acting a certain way at any point risks their ability to reliably be kind in othe

It's fairly straightforward. Create the source files. Iterate the linter checks until it passes. Finalize. I'd bet they just spell it out at each step so there's something to point to when they do those final reviews and reje

This is where I'm at right now and it works rather well. I have a glue script that automates some shorthand in the Markdown into LaTeX for PDF and pre-set styles for DOCX and HTML exports. It works rather well, and being able to tweak

"Vibe coding" is a term that means "Prompt the LLM with a request for a project and wait for it to finish". If you're reading and understanding anything it made, that's not vibe coding, that's agentic deve

I also have a 64GB M1 Max and am similarly impressed with what that workhorse can do. The M5 tempted me -- a lot -- but then I looked at what I was already getting done on that machine and just couldn't justify it ... yet. Someday, sur

Model diversity is really their weak point. OpenAI has embeddings, audio, image, video (RIP). Anthropic has ... Claude. It's a great model for a lot of things, but it's super risky to just have one thing you're good at (from
