The technique I'm following is: If it's easier to explain it to an LLM, have the LLM do it. If it's easier to do it myself, I do it. This is useful when iterating on UI, where I need to make a few minor changes; or when I nee

Labels (like anti-facism) often don't explain what the views are; they're just labels. We'd need to dig much deeper to understand what their views are. FWIW: I consider extreme leftists just as dangerous as the extreme right.

There's a political issue. Just look at how hard it's been to protest all the new gas plants that came up over the last ~20 years. The reason is that we built many small gas plants, instead of a handful of large ones. It divided u

Curious: What do you make where you need such accurate measurements? I just eyeball everything when I cook. (For other things that I'm passionate about I'm much more careful.)

What's frustrating is that the title in this thread is very misleading. This is the way the laws have been: Separate laws for generators feeding into the grid. Why this is, I don't know. I suspect it's because the vast, v

I've had an issue where, when clicking a "locations" link on a web site, Google Maps "permanently" added a bunch of locations to my map. This was quite unexpected on my part. (I think it was for a chain or churches

The third Sonic the Hedgehog was hilarious: Jim Carrey really made the movie. The movies stand by themselves; they take characters from the games and make movies around them. My one issue is that they didn't involve much of the iconic

Militaries tend to keep a lot of their technology secret, for some reasons: - They don't want the enemy to also have the technology. - They don't want the enemy to be able to plan against surprise weapons. So, for example, if Ukra

The issue is that SPAM is defined by the recipient, not the sender. Google sends out SPAM, and people marking those emails as SPAM trained Gmail to filter out Google's SPAM. Some examples of spam from Google: Years ago I unsubscribed

A couple of things: From what I remember as a kid in the 1990s in the US, smoking was allowed on international flights. It was one of those grey areas that happen when traveling between countries with different laws. I've also seen a l

I just don't like Anthropic's 5.0 models. When I tried Fable and Opus 5.0, they were super-slow and gave me sub-par results. I went back to Opus 4.8, and then switched to GPT 5.6 Luna. It's cheaper and better than Fable. Th
