I think it might loop back around pretty quick. I've been using it to write custom GUI interfaces to streamline how I use the computer, I'm working piecemeal towards and entire desktop environment custom made to my own quirky pre

The light switch moment for me is when I realized I can tell claude to use linters instead of telling it to look for problems itself. The later generally works but having it call tools is way more efficient. I didn't even tell it wha

I agree, I was very skeptical until I started playing around with these tools and repeatedly got good results with almost no real effort. Online discussion with randos about this topic is almost useless because everybody is quick to dismiss

Agreed, however it's quite likely that after being under salt water for a while, the frame was in such shape that nobody would look at it once and consider riding it.

I know somebody is going to say otherwise, but BTRFS seems genuinely rock solid in single-disk setups. OpenSUSE defaults to it so I've been using it for years. No problems, it's not even something I worry about.

I don't know about pay to win, but TF2 and CS:Go have had extensive gambling scenes from what I've heard.

It's the way it used to be done with paper catalogues. If you're looking for a snowmobile then you go get a snowmobile catalog from a dealer who you looked up in a phonebook. But advertisers don't want to wait for somebody

One of the few sorts of ads I'm okay with are those sort of ads for local businesses on the paper placemats at local restaurants. Those stick around and are seen by countless people so if it's a scam word will get around.

The ad industry likes to say that their industry is clean and the people who buy ads for scams are the problem, but the truth is the entire industry is complicit with the scamming, and stuff like this shows it. If the ad industry were mere

For me, it's their support for linux and their easy return policy for games that don't end up working. Gaben could light an orphanage on fire and I'd forgive him.

Good post. It's not even about the rights of the LLM or the corporation, but of the people who will be using these tools. Imagine if the government went to megaphone manufacturers and demanded that the megaphones never amplify words t

For the first few hours of using claude code, I was really excited about finally not being too lazy to commit often because cc would do it for me. But then I hit my pro account limit and I realized that I'd rather spent my tokens writ

I'm 10 months clean on factorio, been doing the 12 step program for it. Feeling real tempted to relapse now...

Depends on the game tbh, having claude ping me for attention every few minutes disrupts most games too much, but with turn-based or casual games it works out well. OpenTTD and Endless Sky are fun to play while claude churns.

I've got it using dbus, doing funky stuff with Xlib, working with pipewire using the pulseaudio protocol which it implemented itself (after I told it to quit using libraries for it.) You can't one-shot complicated problems, at l

Agreed, it's actually fun again. The evening hours I used to burn with video games and weed are now spent with claude code, rewriting and finishing up all my custom desktop tools and utilities I started years ago.

TBQH Valve/Steam is a major factor in this gambling in games scene but gamers love them. So I don't think this is the real reason gamers have a problem with EA.

by lupusreal 1y ago
Gamers will forgive anything if the games are good. But EA is nothing but a slop factory.

How could Ellison's motivation for creating a surveillance state possibly not be relevant?

by lupusreal 1y ago
"Dual loyalty" is kind of a joke for somebody like Ellison, because it implies a loyalty to America.

I see no material difference between stealing nudes from somebody, and secretly setting up a camera in a bathroom. In both cases the victims don't know, so no harm is done right? Wrong. That's bullshit. Long prison sentences w

Since ancient times, acting and prostitution have been considered closely related industries and I think this probably never changed. The actors who "make it big" are the ones that win favors with producers one way or another, pr

Probably not as much as you probably think. Most "millionaires" today are just boomers from working class backgrounds who bought a modest property back in the 70s and now 50 years later all their illiquid assets, primarily their

There is a long and shameful history of repair techs and computer shops doing this to people. From the stories I've heard from people who've been in that industry, looking for nudes on customer devices has been almost an expected

Types are invaluable in modern code bases because they end up saving a ton of tokens when agentic coding tools are trying to comprehend let alone modify the code. Python isn't intrinsically a great language for LLMs to work with, exce

Today's Israel has absolutely nothing to do with ancient Israel. They took on the name as propaganda, a cynically constructed state origin myth.
