I really like a good IDE. I may try this but the all in one world is what I work best in. I'll give this a look though. I am always willing to try something not in my comfort zone.

I totally preferred the 2024 stuff but it wasn't able to use 3.13+ which is a deal breaker. 2025 has been a horrible experience all around. Their filesystem change detection is broken, debug in async has basically stopped working and t

I think I need to try Cursor. I have held off but the world is changing fast and jumping into a more code assistant first approach may be a good answer. The thing that is driving me crazy in this world though is the 'tab tab tab'

Power management in all aspects is one big thing that I wish was better in all distros. Hibernate/fans/shorter battery life are real usability things. I only use windows when I am at risk of being fired for not using it and macos

We have been in aggressive, irrational, denial of alternative energy for my entire life but denying something doesn't make it not true. It is beyond obvious that wind, solar and battery technology are, even now, just starting to show t

I wonder if this will fall into 'supplement' territory for US approval in toothpaste. I can imagine there would be a lot of manufacturers throwing it in without testing to see if their formulation actually works or not.

I remember when netflix had the dvd by mail option and you could get basically anything that way. It was amazing. Even the local blockbuster had way more available than today's streaming services. I watched way more then. Now I watch a

I was in a very negative space earlier this year due to the current direction the US is heading. Mostly because I am someone that doesn't want to hear problems without a call to action I can actually engage with. The things that are ha

Strongly decoupling API implementation and, well, actual implementation, is pretty key when you start to evolve an application. People often focus on 'the design' like there is one perfect design for an application for its lifetim

You are fundamentally misunderstanding the point I am making. LLMs have repeatedly started with training wheels and then slowly had them taken off as they have become more and more competent. MCP is another example of training wheels that w

I personally wouldn't be surprised if the http calling abilities of LLMs end up killing MCP, or at least greatly reducing its use. If you train LLMs to start interacting with REST APIs as a great way to make them do more then a lot of

Diplomacy isn't 'doing nothing'. Trump 1.0 destroyed efforts that were working and Israel has proven time and time again that they don't care about diplomacy so long as they have bombs to throw. My points are still valid

I believe the complete dominance of the preemptive attacks shows how little capability they actually have to use any such weapons and that likely trickles down to any development of those weapons. I no longer believe in the 'They have

I don't believe in fair. I do however believe that maybe we can learn and change and expect our leadership to do the same. Cooperation and diplomacy lead to far higher long term returns than might makes right as we have seen time and t

This may date me, but it feels like 1999 again where a small startup can disrupt an industry. Not just because of what LLMs can do in terms of delivered product, but because a small team can often turn on a problem so much faster than a big

Our digital identities have become more valuable than most physical property but I still don't see society taking it seriously. People like my grandmother constantly shedding information to any pop-up that comes her way. Our government

The highs and lows of SpaceX have been interesting to watch. I have to wonder though if, at least partially, some of their recent troubles are partially because people are loosing passion for their mission. You can definitely see it in the

It would be interesting to study when this type of behavior emerges to see what the patterns are. It could give insights into language or culture specific reasoning patterns and subjects that are easier to convey in one language or another.

I really wonder about this study. I'm not great at reading these things but the 'Design, Setting, and Participants' implies two groups, one that got it and one that didn't, but it doesn't say it was randomized meani

China is pushing so much power production via renewables that the idea of 'free' power is becoming more and more of a reality. I don't think using this for fuel makes a lot of sense but we use oil for a lot of things other th

I'm just confused why Meta needed to do this. Isn't fingerprinting good enough to not risk building this? All I can think is they use something like this to prove out their other tracking tech is working (this is the test set effe

In general, anything that encourages companies to reinvest money into infrastructure, research, etc is a great idea. The trick is to make sure it actually does encourage research, infra, etc etc and doesn't just give a loophole for com

A combination of engines generally gets the best WER with additional cost. hosted whisper + gemini 2.5 flash lite with custom deconfliction based on what each one does best is a reasonable path. Gemini does general conversation and silence

I wonder if other basic processes could be at play here like when patients go to the bathroom. If you do this in the morning they may be more likely to not need that for a while while in the evening they may do that immediately. I'm no
