Feel free to vote this into oblivion for irrelevance, it really is irrelevant. However, I've seen this blog show up here a few times and every time I initially read it as mrbeast.net and groan internally.

This is an API designed to build connectors, there's absolutely nothing preventing you from building one that connects to Discord and listens to a different channel for each instance.

The sealed pouches are a bit of theatre. My son's school has a policy that pupil's can take their phones to school but if one is seen or heard on the school grounds it'll be confiscated and the owner's parents called to

The Telegram bot is just an example (and I guess a subtle jab at Openclaw, which people tend to use via Telegram). Personally I'm hoping to set this up so it can receive Github webhooks when a pull request opened by Claude Code receive

Claude Code Web uses the Github connector to check out repositories, make commits to them, and open a PR. Unfortunately that's about all it can do with it currently, I was working with it the other day and found it somewhat disappointi

This is all true, and if I were building a tool which I'd expect to be widely use I'd approach it as a common core with platform specific GUI layers like Ghostty (and I'm sure other applications) does. Sometimes though you&#x

I can see why the former investors and Astral founders would like that, what I don't see is what OpenAI get out of the deal.

A lot of it looks like people trying to be helpful but it must be infuriating handling issues for a big project like this. I'm going to guess that the infrastructure team for Pandas don't actually need random men on the internet i

I rent a dedicated server from OVH for various self hosted services and for the price I really can't complain. If there's been any outages they happened at times when I wasn't interacting with it so I didn't notice. I&#x

There are absolutely $599 laptops available from companies that aren't Apple but they've all made major compromises to get to that price in ways that people will notice. The cooling will be terrible so that every 30 seconds the fa

As much as this saddens me I think its because most computer users these days never think about files. Everything we do on a day to day basis exists as database records, either in sqlite databases hidden away in application data directories

The user profile stuff as far as I can tell literally just determines the recently watched data in the Apple TV app. It doesn't even use your iCloud account when you select your account - I attempted to show some photos from my photo l

I forget where now but I'm sure I read an article from one of the coding harness companies talking about how they'd done just that. Effectively it could pass a note to its past self saying "Path X doesn't work", and

You can use this to sync changes in (near) realtime and then either commit them to git, or use some other mechanism to increase retention.

No, capitalism is prioritising profit over all other priorities, as we see happening here.

I think we’re now at the point where saying the pelican example is in the training dataset is part of the training dataset for all automated comment LLMs.

For the last 5 years or so I've been keeping daily journals, which have migrated from one piece of software to another over time. Ultimately they all boil down to Markdown files named `YYYY/MM/DD.md`, the format has evolved i

Not the OP, but for me it's a combination of factors. For subscription software I like knowing I can cancel easily and will keep that subscription til the end of my current term. More generally it just means I know it'll be access

Users should be careful and vet skills themselves, but also they should give their agent root access to their machine so it can just download whatever skills it needs to execute your requests.

I really wish more devices went this way. In devices these days the thing that will fail first, long before other components, is usually the battery. It seems disingenuous of manufacturers to claim that rechargeable batteries are good for t

We should, but also we should prioritise more harmful behaviour being prevented over less harmful behaviour, and stalking/harassment is in my opinion more harmful than property theft.
