Claude Code on Opus 4.6 - not terrible... Walk. 50 meters is basically across a parking lot. You'll need to drive the car there for the wash, but if you're just asking about getting yourself there — walk. If the question is about

This is all so dumb that it feels like it must be a troll. You don’t need a TV to watch your local TV news. They have this newfangled thing called a website and they are also on twitter. Or try your local newspaper’s website, which will

Seriously? This guy spent far too many words wasted speculating about something that is transparently obvious. https://github.com/malware speaks for itself. The Github rep should have said - "Dude, name yourself mal

In case anyone missed it, the most genius description of the Fourier Transform was published recently by the 3Blue1Brown YouTube site ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spUNpyF58BY ). It is absolutely brilliant.
