Though it is still a fascinating result that shows that the giant frontier models could be made much more efficient, and how to do so.

Except when it consistently gets said particular API wrong. I was using it to do basic graphql-yoga setup with R1 and then Claude Sonnet 3.5 and they both output incorrect usage, and got stuck in a loop trying to fix it. If it can’t do some

My white 20mm one with a brown leather band started more conversations than anything else I’ve ever owned and used, which was surprising but neat :) Unfortunately mine got stolen and broken, which is a shame. I wonder how hard they are to b

Quite, but a transflective one (from Sharp, I believe) which gave it a lot of the benefits of daylight readability while being much much easier to program for and work with.

That’s basically what the Pebble Time Round was, and it was phenomenal!

My Pebble Time Round is still the single best piece of tech I have ever owned and used, and I miss it every day. If it can be brought back, I’d pay whatever is necessary, and I’d love to contribute now that I’ve spent many years doing embed

Yeah totally fair on both points. I'd bought the Note 2 before I'd heard about the GPL violations... Android is funnily enough exactly why I went back to the Kindle with the Scribe instead, though Amazon has it's faults as we

FWIW the Boox devices are good and are in the 13" space, but my annoyance with them is 1) Android and 2) I broke the screen on my Boox Note 2, and there is no way to repair it, even a screen replacement is impossible apparently, so YMM

You’re better at writing than I am then! I make mistakes all the time, so being able to move my words around on the page is super useful. This to me is calm tech, because that’s all it does: note taking. If your definition is such that only

My paper notebooks can't do linking, I can't easily rearrange pages, rearrange my notes on the page, and getting it off my paper and into my work PC is more challenging. My Kindle Scribe is excellent for all of this, and I can&#

Agreed. Its one of my major annoyances with Relay, is that it generates enums.

The insurance is with anyone. They own the house, not you, and so they want to ensure it's not going to burn down (or more likely get washed away in a flood, where I live) and be irrecoverable, so they require you have the home insured

Banks in Australia were the same, but some are now starting to demand proof of insurance yearly to counter that loophole.

I loved going through our (small) programming & computers section in our school library in the early 2000s, and visiting the local library with a much larger one. I picked up PHP because of that :)

No it was quite different (again, unless they changed it? They might've, I'm long out of this scene). UWP apps had a lot more restrictions on them, the SDK was different, and you didn't have the full consoles hardware to use,

Indeed, I was chuckling along as I read the README, as this is remarkably similar to my attempt at the same problem about 14 years ago. Though sminez seems much more skilled and motivated than I am: https://github.com/sminez

The sad part is, our major politicians are pretty much straight up blackmailed into doing this (though in practice they appear to do it gleefully). Murdoch and others own basically our entire media apparatus: don't do what they say, an
