> What kind of tasks do you use it for There are some bugs that just seem to elude Opus and GPT 5.5. An example is an Elixir/LiveView app that I wrote for personal use that basically gives me a full tmux in my browser from the syst

If you think all he does is post pelicans on bicycles then you aren't actually reading or seeing as many of his posts as you think you do. There's quite a bit more to it than that. Also for others, the pelicans on a bicycle posts

Not OP, but WSL1 is still much more performant in some areas, like lower memory use, startup times, quicker windows file access. I haven't used WSL1 in quite some time but I believe it's also still fully supported so use what&#x2

It's pretty painful, and makes a lot of work from home impossible between meetings, image pulls, etc. Until starlink I had to do development on a cloud vm

This strikes me as NIMBYism at a global scale. At least you've got yours right!

my alternative was dial up or a 10 Mbps flaky wireless ISP. Is that what you're using right now?

Then our descendants will talk about how they were held back by our greedy ancestors who just wanted to be able to look at the night sky and see only natural stars, and they'll be right. Also let me guess, you have high speed internet

I use it multiple times a day, and it's great! It doesn't try to hide details from you, but it does put a well-thought out GUI in front so you don't have to stumble around. It's not perfect, does take some getting used

I think I'd like a hybrid. The timer + when it expires it reveals the 1st letter, resets, then the 2nd letter, etc. Might be nice to be able to reset the time by tapping/clicking it too if you feel you just need a bit more time

Some of us really like simonw's analysis, personality, and transparency. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it "spam"

GP said nothing of what they were building. Seems pretty probable it was a web service/application rather than a device driver.

As a minor did you never do anything your parents wouldn't have approved of? Did you really have no way of hiding some of your activities from your parents?

for sure, no way even an intelligent person could possibly make a text-to-speech typo when writing a comment on an informal internet forum. Definitely a lying liar who lies

I worked on the control systems for Predators and Reapers back in the mid and late 00s, and the inefficiencies around process were enormous. Safety is extremely important, so you expect some slowness as a result, but it got pretty extreme.

The opacity and unpredictability of Anthropic is really starting to become more than just an annoyance. I'm glad they're extending access, but the roller coaster is really starting to cause whiplash. If they're eventually go

While it's easy to be pissed at Samsung for capitalizing on this, I think it's worth remembering that if they didn't raise prices to where supply ~ = demand, there'd be shortages and you wouldn't be able to buy memo

> Access to Steam's library for a fixed monthly price would be huge. Actually I'm surprised Steam/Valve isn't offering that yet, it'd be huge, and for their new consoles it would be a perfect fit. As a consumer

Does it have parental controls natively or did you have to install something extra? I would love to be able to whitelist which devices are allowed to access the internet during night time hours.

Do you have any numbers? The last numbers I remember seeing, had XFCE around 500 MB and gnome around 700 MB. I'm trying to find some current numbers, but it's a pretty tough thing. Without any different numbers, I think saying a m

It will be interesting to see how that changes with mamdani. Depending on who you ask, it will either bring in the Utopia or it will be a devastating waste, but very few people expect not much to change. Thing is, it takes years to move so

Exactly. When I started getting into go 15 years ago, and 10 years ago or so into elixir, I loved the easy concurrency and tried to use it to the maximum possible. What I discovered is that they're just aren't that many things tha

You're right I probably should be more charitable, but I don't see any other way to read GP other than them denying basic economics. The comment that they were replying to did not say it was a good thing and they liked it. Sure it

You can't ignore the laws of economics and expect them to go away, any more than you can ignore the law of gravity and expect not to die when you make a high impact landing without equipment. Just because you don't want them to be
