I've been trying to delete accounts at Anthropic and Cursor because they don't let you change email addresses (don't even get me started on that stupidity). But until my subscriptions that I've cancelled run out and&#x2

I just sold a domain I had for 25 years and used for everything including API endpoints, email, authentication, etc. It took a couple weeks to transition myself and my family/friends. Pretty sure just moving emails would have take a l

Just a note to people that like podcasts without insane amounts of ads (iHeartRadio, I'm looking at you): often they're on Youtube as well. Using Pinchflat with Sponsorblock, you can make yourself an RSS feed of just the audio as

I'd suspect the next set are charge cycle tests so that will take some time. I was certainly skeptical of the C rate claims and those are quick to do and kick out.

And was a pretty rabid conservative until the Trump era. He only left the Republicans in 2024, he was around for the first term. Maybe he's grown a spine.

Someone needs to fix how that popup appears right over your cursor and with no delay.

As a full-on farmer, the idea of Claude making the decisions on our farm of several thousand acres gives me the willies. I program with Claude and I don't trust it to write a test script without vetting it thoroughly and fixing a coup

If you're dumping the context every prompt, that might be why you're not happy with the results of Cursor. I can run a dozen or two prompts before the context gets polluted enough that it's worth compacting. If you clear it

Copilot is a dumpster fire and I can understand why you're down on agents from that experience. Splurge on the $20 for Cursor, and install their IDE. Start with a simple project, more because it helps you see how it works than because

If you're building something new, stick with languages/problems/projects that have plenty of analogues in the opensource world and keep your context windows small, with small changes. One-shotting an application that is very

That's all blown way out of proportion. I have a stack of 10k page manuals for diagnosing and repairing every piece of green iron on the place. Honestly, I've been considering training an LLM so I can make better use of the manu

The fleet task app has been really useful. I have my hired hands using it, tasks are shared and can be deferred so they don't show up until spring or midsummer when we have weather or time to work on them, or we're going to need

Same here. Farmer now, former network engineer and software project lead, but I stopped programming almost 20 years ago. Now I build all sorts of apps for my farm and organizations I volunteer for. I can pound out an app for tracking sample

Yah, he was just running a 12V bilge pump on a battery, and used a charge controller to keep the battery up so just needed a voltage slightly above the battery voltage. I doubt it used a kWh per day as it cycled. He might still be using i

We had a neighbor that put loops of wire under a 600kV line and got enough power to run a water pump for cows. The square law makes that kind of thing pretty low-return.

It's the thing you do most with selected text and it removes the need to use a keyboard shortcut. Selecting text with no purpose and being worried that it's a security hole is like saying "I leave my car on the street with th

You forgot to shoehorn Copilot in there. They renamed Office to something like that, not even kidding.
