I've seen some trim with channels for wire. They're not very common in the US - I've never found them at The Home Depot. For my projects, I would have to replace the trim for the entire room and possibly adjacent rooms becaus

For Claude Code, I now pay the $20/mo subscription for pro because I was spending more using it via API credits. Even if I had to reload manually very often, I still would not enable auto reload. These APIs are crazy expensive and I&#x

Are you all enabling auto reload for personal projects? I load $20 at a time and wait for it to break and add more.

Skills have frontmatter which includes a name and description. The description is what determines if the llm finds the skill useful for the task at hand. If your agent isn’t being used, it’s not as simple as “agents aren’t getting called”.

3d printers are great. I attempted to productize a super niche idea I had for myself that I have ended up using multiple times. It's a simpler method of running wires without having to cut/patch drywall and drill through studs. It

Meh, fixed. Replaced with pastebin links in and kept the repo private.

Volume and statistical significance? I'm not sure what kind of narrative I would trust beyond the actual data. It's the hard part of using LLMs and a mistake I think many people make. The only way to really understand or know is t

The most useful automation for me has been a few simple commands. Here are some examples I use for repos in GitHub to resolve issues and PRs. /gh-issue [issue number] /gh-pr [pr number] Edit: replaced links to private github repo

You may also be getting a worse result for higher cost. For a medical use case, we tested multiple Anthropic and OpenAI models as well as MedGemma. Pleasantly surprised when the LLM as Judge scored gpt5-mini as the clear winner. I don'

I am super curious about this. I wonder baseline it needs to meet to pull me away from using ChatGPT or Claude. My usage of it would be quite different than ChatGPT. I’d be much freer in what I ask it. I think there’s a real opportunity for

Congrats! It's not easy to build something people want and will pay for. It's even less easy to do it for 10+ years. That's all I wanted to say - as much of a milestone as version 10 is - the past 9 were amazing as well.

I think it's worth understanding why. Because that's not everyone's experience and there's a chance you could make a change such that you find it extremely useful. There's a lesser chance that you're working on

I can relate to the author. I have an actively used GitHub repository which doesn't need any more features. It's got 1.3k stars but the commit history has been sparse. Even I look at the last commit date as a proxy for "is th

Thanks to LLMs, I have revived personal projects that became too time consuming and complex to familiarize myself with again. While I enjoy the challenge of writing software, I more enjoy having the thing which does exactly what I want. LLM

Very cool! I do this today by connecting my phone to my laptop and recording via Loom. It's a bit janky for sure and the video is off because I looking down at my phone and not the webcam [1]. Does Loom really not offer this capability

AI doesn't need or care about "high quality" code in the same ways we define it. It needs to understand the system so that it can evolve it to meet evolving requirements. It's not bound by tech debt in the same way human

More important than code quality is a joint understanding of the business problem and the technical solution for it. Today, that understanding is spread across multiple parties (eng, pm, etc). Code quality can be poor as long as someone und

I found this trick for store bought pizza dough as well. Instead of leaving out for 20 minutes, a warm oven helps it start rising a bit and results in a much better final product!

Those who are still employed by my local grocery store don't seem too motivated to do their jobs. It's an unfortunate but foreseeable scenario that expedites the problem where people prefer self-checkout. I wish we'd pump the

The two times I did not have employer sponsored health care AND $0 income, the ACA plans were more expensive than getting a plan directly from the insurance company. It never costed me $27,000 though. Most recently, in 2024, I had medical a

It's very unfortunate. As a parent, I feel like it requires regulation at the national level because I can't win against Meta (FB, Insta), Google (Youtube), Snapchat and TikTok.
