I’m finishing up a DIY ground install and just the conductor from the array to the service panel cost the same as about 3 panels. It’s about a 150 meter run. Some very rough numbers from memory: - 20 panel + 10 microinverter bundle: $5600 -

I’ve even resorted to using actual markdown files on disk for long sets of work, as a kind of long term memory meta-plan mode. I’ll even have claude generate them and keep them updated. But I get what you mean.

Plan mode is the extent of it for me. It’s essentially prompting to produce a prompt, which is then used to actually execute the inference to produce code changes. It’s really upped the quality of the output IME. But I don’t have any habits

Right, “parent branch” implies a tree structure, but git is a DAG. You might have a specific workflow such that you can actually answer your question, but it won’t generally apply to all repos. Since a branch is really just a label for a sp

My hot take is that quality is inversely proportional to income. The more someone is paying for something, the more bloodsucking mercenaries are attracted to it that have less consideration for the quality of the output than for their own e

Yep, I have a Shun with micro serrations ([0]) that will slice a tomato so finely you basically feel no resistance. The only downside is that you can’t really hone or sharpen it yourself so you have to baby it. I’ve had mine about 15 years

That’s where a lot of mess comes from, so I’m very interested in this tech. The worst are cucumbers, they stick to the blade and new slices pop them up and they roll everywhere. I get some better results by slightly angling the blade but it

I think you meant to say you don’t think this is good enough? And I’d second that.

It’s a lot more high-level executive functioning now, instead of grinding through endless syntax and boilerplate. Easy to mindlessly code to music, much harder to think about what you want to do next, and evaluate if the result you just got

Exactly, came here to say this, it happened long ago for me. Classical, jazz, electronica… all great for coding and vibing alike, for me.

My pet theory on AI is that the true breakthrough of machine intelligence won’t be one of elevating machines so much as realizing that we aren’t as special as we think we are.

I'm a fan of saying there's always a slippery slope, it's just a matter of the parameters. But, I think that it's misguided to apply the human problem of othering to a given technology. Regardless of technology X, humans

I think things like that should be easy to say, if by that you mean censorship. Sure. But talk is cheap. And there are gradations of reality. It would maybe be easier for a 15-25 y.o. to kill a baby they don't know and whose parents&#x

I think part of the problem is that “really good” and “really bad” are not universally accepted norms for any given ethical question. What you’re seeing is your own value system assumptions being checked. It’s perfectly reasonable to say th

Even that has been fixed by now in my chats with android friends. The only reason to display green bubbles anymore is to indicate lack of E2EE. But that will be coming to RCS interop soon as well.

I mean yeah a lot of tech is doing is tinker toy BS. A lot of people in it to make money, not make the world better in any material way. To some extent that’s fine, but some people become deluded. There are still real things being done, but
