Not really comparable perhaps - but I had a Ericsson t18s or similar that went through a full 60C cotton wash cycle (being on at the start of the wash) and was fine after drying off. The thing is - if the battery had been destroyed, that co

I think it might have to do with how models work, and fundamental limits with them (yes, they're stochastic parrots, yes they confabulate). Newer (past two years?) models have improved "in detail" - or as pragmatic tools - bu

That is fine, but you give up any pretence of security - your agent can inspect your tool's process, environment variables etc - so can presumably leak API keys and other secrets. Other comments have claimed that tools are/can be

Tunnel vision? If your model can handle big context, why divide into lesser problems to conquer - even if such splitting might be quite trivial and obvious? It's the difference of "achieve the goal", and "achieve the goa

Somewhat on the side - but is there a wireguard that works well for ReactOS? Does the windows version just work fine? Just curious how/if the version support might work out for ReactOS.

I wonder about the "video running in the background" during qna of the talk: https://youtu.be/1sd26pWhfmg?is=XLJX9gg0Zm1BKl_5 Did he write an exploit for the NFS bug that runs via network over USB? Seems to be plu

One thing I like is the possibility to turn off notifications on other apps - and then dms become/remain push (beeper) other SoMe crap become pull (check when actively opening the app).

by e12e 6mo ago
Discord is the only app I still run with notifications enabled along with beeper - beeper handle dms, discord handle the rest. Allows me to check only beeper for dms across services - and keep discord for channels etc.

Not sure what this app does for Facebook - but I'm a quite happy user of: https://www.beeper.com/ Allows me to use Instagram messages without the app - as well as (Facebook/meta) Messenger (and others). I do wish

Excel for Mac has gotten a lot better - but I'm not surprised if it is still its own thing - with edge cases in format, macros, visual basic, linking to databases and data sources etc. I imagine excel under wine is better than the port

I think that Knoll’s law of media accuracy applies quite well to LLMs as well: > “everything you read in the newspapers is absolutely true, except for the rare story of which you happen to have firsthand knowledge”.

Adonis is nice, but still young and lacking features. And in my experience very verbose compared to rails. That said, absolutely worth a look.

I'd say that if you're first encounter with rails is version 8+ -- it's a lot easier to use than previous versions. Partly because the handling of JavaScript is much less bespoke and complex.

I think when you've realized that you don't particularly enjoy being alone - the best cure is to avoid it; and try to get more friends. Friends are made by doing something together, regularly, over time. I wouldn't call this
