Fascinating, I thought I was losing my mind. Claude CLI has been telling me I should go to bed, or that it's late, let's call it here, etc, and then I look at the stop-phrase-guard.sh [1] and I'm seeing quite a few of these.

The "calculator ruined the world" argument was actually studied to death once the panic subsided. Large meta-analyses of 50 years of data show it was mostly a non-problem. Students using calculators generally developed better atti

Peak irony: OpenAI's Codex project is being DDoS'd by its own creation. They made code generation essentially free, and now they're drowning in AI-generated PRs that take more time to review than it would take to just write t

Some users are moving to local models, I think, because they want to avoid the agent's cost, or they think it'll be more secure (not). The mac mini has unified memory and can dynamically allocate memory to the GPU by stealing from

I use Terminus with Zellij and keep about 8 sessions going with a combination of Claude and Codex, and once in a while, Gemini. It's great when you're sitting in a docotor's office lobby bored out of your skull and when you

Read all the way to the end: "I’m getting one." So will I, if anything to support the effort, and check it out maybe I'll buy more for my kids or something.

Bigger challenge is games that die because the back-end servers are turned off and the assets are discarded. I'm on a team reverse engineering an old MMO from 2011. We've spent years rebuilding the server from packet captures and

ripgrep has saved me so much time, I also use it now with LLMs and remind them they have ripgrep available! I added a donation on github, thanks for all your work.

I also added an Appendix "Technical Stack Considerations," but I like the PR and the FAQ's to focus on the customer/end-user's needs. The technical details matter, but they serve the customer outcome, not the other

7.5 Years at Amazon, and even for my side projects, I write PRFAQs and share them with my stakeholders to gather feedback. I'm a PMT at Amazon, but in my alternative life, I code on many projects, and develop infrastructure, architectu

This article makes me want to get a DNA test. In my family, it’s very common to sleep in the six-hour range. I personally sleep from 10 pm to 4:25 am every day, often waking up around 4:15 am before my watch vibrates to wake me. If I sleep

Interesting because I have recently been trying to catch a stray cat for a capture-release process and the cat will not walk into a typical trap-door type wire mesh trap. Watching him on video the roof of the trap seems to freak him out. It

Funny to see this here, recently I decided to clean up my personal NAS that had 60 million files and 17 TB used. I tried various tools, but this NAS was the backup target for many of my machines over a decade or more of time. I finally gave

This reminds me of Metaplace[0][1] back in 2007 created by a MMO veteran Raph Koster. Not sure how they will avoid the same issues that killed Metaplace and other attempts at this over the years. [0] https://www.raphkoster.c

Don't forget "pets vs cattle", thinking of servers as ephemeral and working towards quickly being able to scale up/down based on demand. So often I see people "lift and shift" from a dedicated server model into
