I'd suggest going the route of having Claude teach you what you need to know. How do I uppercase this string? What's the best way to tackle this problem? Is there a standard way to do this thing? Then you learn along the way. You

Track down the short story it's inspired by, Eight O'Clock in the Morning by Ray Nelson. I had read the short story somewhere, maybe in a compilation, and was delighted when the movie turned out to be obviously inspired by it. Hel

I get a blank white screen in firefox on windows. I don't consider this to be blue, so I guess their blue is not my blue.

Do LLMs even learn? The companies that build them build new models based partly on the conversations the older models have had with people, but do they incorporate knowledge into their neural nets as they go along? Can an LLM decide, withou

I'm starting to do this at home, but the instinct to just do a web search is still there. I'm only using Claude Code at work because they are paying for it, so why not use it. I think I've used maybe 5% of my tokens for any g

> An interesting side effect might be that only people locked out from using LLMs will learn how to program in the future, as vide coding doesn't teach you the fundamentals. This is the strange part for me. I'm one of those peo

Or take it one step further: 1. curate a list of creators you like on a local html page 2. follow a link into YT 3. refuse to log in to avoid Google keeping even more data on you 4. run uBlock Origin on Firefox to avoid ads Yo

I'm 60, started with a Tandy Model I in junior high, learned 6809 assembly for my Color Computer, loved the fact we could put certain values in particular memory positions and change the video mode and put pixels to the screen. It&#x27

I'm not a TikTok user, but I'm assuming the recommendation engine is there to keep eyeballs on more ads for longer. Maybe we should be regulating how often and how many ads can be shown on social media, especially to teens and kid

I doubt they are all for locking people out of copyrighted works, but more for keeping their jobs. But maybe they are, who knows.

I couldn't care less if this person's grandfather was a Nazi, even if it turns out to be true. What are they supposed to do, go back in time and convince their grandfather to change their ways? It ridiculous using this as some kin

Doesn't UBI come from taxes? I can't reconcile the idea of welfare for everyone resonating very well with any of the libertarians I know. Personal charity, sure, absolutely, but not government controlled payouts to people, even if

My main objection to UBI: won't landlords, grocery stores, power companies and the like simply raise their prices to suck up that money that everyone is guaranteed to have now until it ultimately doesn't cover basic needs like it

I suppose that eventually enough people will have grown up reading mostly ai slop that that way of speaking will eventually become the norm.

This makes me wonder how the system makes any money. Presumably the same people that won't pay a few bucks a month for YouTube won't buy things from ads either. So how do the ad companies make any money on them?

I do this when I can get away with it but I worry that by cleaning one small area I'll find out the hard way that something else was relying on that bit of code being incorrect and I'll have exposed some subtle bug that hasn'

I don't know, I kind of like the name EctoScript. Although if it were me I'd just rename it WebScript and be done with it.

In my opinion, if we really want a presence off of earth we'd be better off building larger and larger space habitats and bootstrapping a mining industry in space.

Every browser has to implement it but there's nothing saying they can't let the user disable that functionality, either.

The browser should reasonably know what time zone you're in and what time zone you're reporting to the website and translate between them automatically.

I can see this if you're looking over something and don't know what it is. Highlight it and right-click or whatever and ask the AI to give you a quick summary. Similar to how wikipedia links will show enough in the preview to get

I don't agree with respect to games that are still being worked on by the dev studio, but I would like this for abandoned games, where the studio no longer exists.
