Made a sprint and connected via Windows Terminal and noticed it's purely white on black, not observing the normal Claude terminal color schemes... any ideas why that's the case? Am I missing something insanely simple?

Alt + 0151, baby! Or... however you do it on MacOS. But now, likewise, having to bail on emdashes. My last differentiator is that I always close set the emdash—no spaces on either side, whereas ChatGPT typically opens them (AP Style).

I bought the magnatile-knockoff-version essentially and while not as pure montessori as the wooden blocks, they're 1/10th the price and my 4-year-old is _loving_ this kit: https://amzn.to/3MVXRXg

Wow. Just... wow. Didn't think I'd get to head back to Pilotwings 64 and fly around those maps anytime soon. Or TF2, or HalfLife. Very, very cool.

Steve's comments around merging the culture of creatives and technologists, and how hard it is to attract and _retain_ the kind of world-changing talent that was necessary to invent a new category are interesting: "the very best c

Isn't that what a passkey is intended to be? If I want to use a passkey on my phone, I have to bio authenticate into it. Similarly, with Windows Hello as a passkey provider, via my camera scanner. It works well and is pretty seamless,

I do think I read that as being _part_ of the $3M, not in _addition_ to, which absolutely increases the overall value of the contribution, likely materially.

by disillusioned 1y ago
Is it me, or does $600,000 a year (presuming that $3M is over the 5 year period) seem a bit of a weak contribution from a company with a $1.8 trillion market cap that's regularly making $100M-$250M TC pay packages for AI scientists? Li

Generally speaking, a lot of firms follow best practice where "issues"/"tasks"/"stories" are written (by a Product Manager, or PM) to include both a prescriptive request as well as a list of acceptanc

I saw that a certain reading of this language: > Section 1. Restriction on Entry. (a) Pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), the entry into the United Sta

In practical terms, though, 90% of the world's population lives in the northern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere contains ~65% of the earth's land mass, so it's not entirely without merit that we orient the map that way

I mean, it's not "close to correct". It's... really almost 100% correct. Go try it. Hit up J-Archive, prompt it that you'll feed it Jeopardy answers and want a simple response in the form of a question. I've ye

There were two astounding takeaways when Watson beat Ken and Brad: 1. We've advanced the state of the art in terms of being able to reason and parse complex language to a level the general population wasn't aware of. 2. Beating hu

I bought a _lot_ of Creative Labs products over my pre-teen and teen PC building years. Saving up to get the SB2 or the AWE32 or the AWE64 or SBLive... so that I could eventually get something that supported 4.1 for my Cambridge Soundworks

This. This this this this this this this. MaximumPC wrote up the FPS2000 kit and I, an obsessed 14 year-old, saved up as much money as I could to buy it. I _needed_ surround sound. I was then similarly obsessed with 4.1 sound in, eg, Half-L

Oooh, this is like a rebirth of YouTube Time Machine, which went defunct awhile back. Ads end up being my favorite... they're such a weird bit of the zeitgeist: prices, style, attention seeking techniques... so interesting.

I agree with all of this, coupled with a decent amount of layoffs from the Mag7s, though I'm not sure how distributed those were in California, necessarily.

Or just extend the logic to materiel instead of personnel, like Ukraine did with the airbase attacks earlier this year: for the price of a few dozen < $1k drones, you can eliminate $50M-$150M+ aircraft? The asymmetry is insane. There&#x

The fact that we have not yet seen a high-profile political assassination by drone, particularly from the "death from above" method, absolutely _boggles_ my mind, and I don't think we get out of this decade without that occur

Man, this is just not an accurate stand-in, though, _because_, well, Arizona has literally over 500,000 residential pools. It's actually one of (if not) _the_ highest pool-per-capita rates. And because of that, drowning is the leading

EuropCar tried to hit my brother with a $275 charge for a missing parcel shelf from a hatchback he had rented, which, to his knowledge, had never _had_ a parcel shelf. They insisted, but could provide no proof, that it did, and told him to
