The way most people think is by talking to each other but writing is a stronger way to think and writing to an LLM or with the help of an LLM has some of the benefits of talking with someone. Also, writing and sketchingon a piece of paper h

I don't apply the term to everything I mentioned Arabs because they are the occupying force in Iran. They even brought Iraqis to repress the population. That is today but there's also a long history in Iran/Persian. Ireland a

Apartheid isn't only about race. It can be about genre. It obviously exists in Iran. There's also a long history of Persians vs Arabs, an weaponised islam.

Immediately when the blackout started an Iranian living abroad told me there will be a massacre. No journalists needed to know that but journalists do bring credibility to a claim. The tiny part of the population that is whitelisted is spre

I don't "like" taxes I just think that people are more generous when they are obliged to be. It won't make them generous on top of the taxes but at least they'll pay the damn taxes. I live in France where the taxes

Women have had the right to vote for a long time. Women could not bring themselves to vote for a woman for President. People talk a lot about Trump but I think a lot of people just voted against the other option so it didn't have much

I'm not American but tariffs might be a way to "make America great again" because it makes it harder to trade with other countries. This means that it makes it relatively easier than before, to trade within the USA. Another e

The people who kill iranians are the same who finance hamas. Think it's easy to eliminate hamas without hurting civilians? I've heard there was no carpet bombing.

The regime in Iran has so much to hide it's unlikely that they will enable unsupervised international communication ever again. Other countries don't seem ready to do anything about it.

I understand wanting to run a local LLM for privacy, but on something more powerful. Yes it's costly but what use is an LLM on a cheap board?

When things get messy I use Sublime Merge with two tabs, one with the code that's open in VS Code and one with the same project but different branch/commit. It works well on Linux. I've managed to make it work with Windows +

The game is likely in javascript but because of this bug we know it's not using React because with React the programmer doesn't update the view, React does.

I'm guessing the app got better precisely because there was a time limit.

It's from 10 years ago, a French MUD called Multimud. It's closed source because the code contains too much information about the game. It's surprisingly simple, a Perl socket-select single-thread process with no dependencies

I'm still using stereo speakers even though the local store seems to only sell single units. They have bluetooth but I don't see why they would need to be "smarter" than this.

I got my hands on the source code of a MUD. It was incredibly flat. Most of the code was if/else and output text. The data was in flat text files as well (1 line = one unit of data, an integer, range or an element of a list, similar to

Netflix as a streaming provider was paid from the get go and only provides professionally made content. It's closer to the way we normally buy things or something like an internet subscription. For youtube, different people are going t

21cm is close to 20 which means A5 has a side close to 10. 29.7 is close to 30. So why not use A4 sheets to install kitchen cabinets? A friend of mine advised me to buy a laser level. A tiny level was quite enough. A laser meter is nice tho

Rails wouldn't exist without Ruby, Ruby wouldn't exist without C, Rails can't be rewritten in C, Rails isn't a library. But aren't Rails, Laravel and Django a bit similar? At least for the people not directly involv

Even the technofeudalist lords have to deal with reality: they add more enforced ad time, I reduce Youtube usage. Disney+ puts long unskippable repeated ads, I watch what I want then unsuscribe. They're supposed to play a long-term gam

Use Claude Code... to do what? There are multiple layers of people involved in the decision process and they only come up with a few ideas every now and then. Nothing I can't handle. AI helps but it doesn't have to be an agent. I&

Property prices are a big concern nowadays indeed, especially in high-demand areas. Complete (rich) strangers can come and outbid you. In the most capitalist places (rich areas without rent control), you can rent a place for years trying to

The article's definition: "A thick desire is one that changes you in the process of pursuing it." This definition is compatible with watching some films and not others. I think Alan Watts said something like that his job was
