Yeah, that is what I meant. I mean, it's kind of the system administrator's/user's responsibility to run processes in whatever user context they want. I don't wonder why, like, nginx doesn't forcefully switch i

What's stopping you from `su claude`?

Because the point is just to loudly proclaim how virtuously anti-AI you are, how disruptive it actually is to your workflow is irrelevant.

This particular quote isn't dementia, he's making a joke, it's the "Donroe Doctrine" because DONald Trump is now expanding it or whatever.

Literally not a single prospective RPi customer would have even known Mamdani banned them from his inauguration party if Adafruit hadn't gone out of their way to point it out. And literally not a single one of those prospective custome

I'm not sure I understand your figures. What is "32 thousand PLN", surely their entire annual profit for all of 2024 was not literally 32K PLN (approx. 9K USD)? Is this measured in millions? And whatever they're measured

This seems great and all, but to my surprise the default $plan skill in Codex prefers to writing plan files to ~/.codex/plans. Is this intentional, or an idiosyncrasy of my particular instance of Codex? Every agent tool I've

Didn't the most recent manifest version update for Chrome extensions drop the ability to block ads at the network level? Extensions can still prune them from the DOM but only after the request has finished; something like that, I don&#

Bug report: I tried to create a new cafe with a name that contained a space character in it. The form told me the ID was invalid but seems to have created my user account anyway. When I log in now, the CafeID I get is 'undefined';

I completely misread '2015' as '2025' and thought these were from this November rather than November 10 years ago. I couldn't believe so many people were still using what appeared to be Aqua-era OS X.

Except the Collatz Conjecture is almost certainly true, and there are no starting points that go on forever. Or did I miss the point of the analogy?

In its defence, the code actually specifically calls that edge case out and justifies it: // Calculate rotations // We use a cumulative calculation logic mentally, but here simple degrees work because of the tr

The writing is on the wall for easy ripping. If there's any YT content you expect you'll want to preserve for a long time, I suggest spinning up https://www.tubearchivist.com/ or something similar and archiving it

My understanding is that eBay sides with the buyer on all disputes, to the point of ridiculousness. So you should be fine. The real issue is being a seller and solving the "and then the customer claims I shipped them a box of rocks&quo

I wonder if that’s also because Grant uses his own branch of manim from which the mainstream public one (manim-ce) has diverged quite a bit. I can imagine LLMs being very confused being asked to write “manim” when everyone talking about “ma

I don’t necessarily mean “useful” in the sense of scientific research or something. Simply transferring value to the creators of the resource being accessed (a la a blockchain) instead of doing throwaway work would be an improvement.

I mean, test after test have shown that the vast, vast majority of humans are woefully unable to distinguish good AI art made by SOTA models from human art, and in many/most cases actively prefer it. Maybe you’re a gentleman of such di

I don’t think OP meant you pay directly, just that you volunteer to do some part of the PoW (of some chain designed for this purpose) on behalf of the site, to its credit. That’s not much of a different ask from Anubis. It just commandeers

I wasn't complaining per-se, I was asking for (and expecting) a legitimate reason. Which I got: that the market is resolved purely based on LLM Arena which Anthropic has never done well on (which says more about the benchmark than abou

How on Earth does that market have Anthropic at 2%, in a dead heat with the likes of Meta? If the market was about yesterday rather than 5 months from now I think Claude would be pretty clearly the front runner. Why does the market so confi

Nobody is debating the usefulness of GPS versus a paper map. Obviously the paper map was worse. The point is precisely that because GPS is so much better than maps, we delegate all direction-finding to the GPS and completely lose our abilit
