   Thanks for the feedback! Small details matter, I'll think about it and see how it looks without underlines for links.

   Have you read the book? They travel across the known universe in less than the span of a human lifetime. OP said "tens of thousands of years of travel". Or are you being deliberately obtuse about relativistic time dilation?

   Huh? I have the VSCode extensions for both. Switching is a couple of mouse clicks and copy paste.

    The UK emergency phone number is 999, not 112. Ugh. Don't make a website like this without verifying the information is correct please!

    The great thing about LLMs being more or less commoditized is switching is so easy. I use Claude Code via the VS Code extension. When I got a couple of 500 errors just now I simply copy pasted my last instructions into Codex and kept going.

    FSD has been maturing for ~an entire decade now. Their latest stunt with moving the supervisor to chaser cars has made a lot of people understandably angry anew: Musk has to hit his robotaxi milestones to get more billions, so he's for

    Most weather data isn't generally available by easy to query REST API's (at least not at the original sources). One side project I had I wanted to use NOMADs data, and it was quite a grind downloading and processing the raw datase

    On one hand, I think it's a valid criticism to say it's security theatre, to a degree . After 9/11, something had to be done, fast! , and we're still living with the after effects of that. On the other hand: defence in

    Yeah it's great for toy/hobby projects with little complexity or features, but as often is the case with these kinds of platforms, running a substantial app on them is a different proposition

    We're not dependent on their energy. One example: we get 10-12% of our LNG from Qatar. No one power controls all tech or markets. There are American and Chinese tech companies who are dependent on European tech companies (ASML being on

    I've built pipelines with lab provided structured outputs and without, one thing to be aware of is enforcing structured outputs has a performance penalty. That might not matter to you, but it can be 2-3x slower sometimes.
