It's true that Filmmaker Mode might at some point in the future be corrupted, but in the actual world of today, if you go to a TV and set it to Filmmaker Mode, it's going to move most things to correct settings, and all things to

I think you should ask yourself: If it were true that 1) these things do in fact work, 2) these things are in fact getting better... what would people be saying? The answer is: Exactly what we are saying. This is also why people keep sugges

Agree. But it's increasingly the case, IME, that for a a lot of tasks, you can start with that. If it does it well, great. If it does something stupid, it's easy enough to ask it to completely rework the stupid thing in a better w

Honestly, even this isn't really true anymore. With Opus 4.5 and 5.2 Codex in tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex CLI, "just do the thing" is a viable strategy for a shockingly large category of tasks.

"The future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed." At some companies, most developers already are using it in their day to day. IME, the more senior the developer is, the more likely they are to be heavily using LL

It's because the models keep getting better! What you could do with GPT-4 was more impressive than what you could do with GPT 3.5. What you could do with Sonnet 3.5 was more impressive yet, and Sonnet 4, and Sonnet 4.5. Some of these i

Because a) the benefits are bigger, and b) the effort is smaller. When something gets cheaper and more valuable, do more of it.

I like this. "Best practices" are always contingent on the particular constellation of technology out there; with tools that make it super-easy to write code, I can absolutely see 100% coverage paying off in a way that doesn'

How's that work for you on Android? Firefox on Android with uBlock is the huge win.

KOReader has built in Progress Sync, which works well for the purpose.

The question is whether spherical cow research tells you anything that holds up once you introduce the complications of reality into it. In physics, it clearly does. In economics, I think it does in a lot of cases (though with limits). In s

Because it's usually not that useful. I have a friend who was software-adjacent, and would post all these exciting studies showing that this or that practice was a big deal and massively boosted productivity. And without fail, those st

If what you want is a queue, Kafka might be overkill for your needs. It's a great tool, but it definitely has a lot of complexity relative to a straightforward queue system.

There are apparently are some semi-experimental FFB drivers out there for a few wheels... but yeah, most hardware has a zero percent chance of working, because it's a niche of a niche. And then if you're doing online racing, they

Shiftall Meganex 8K is out, and Pimax Dream Air is upcoming. But those are PCVR headsets, not... whatever the AVP is.

The xReal ones are extremely workable. Like, you wouldn't want to do it by preference if a good monitor was available, but easily good enough for a situation where you don't want to use a monitor or don't have one.

"Not any better than Blu-ray" is the same as saying "much better than streaming."

I really wish I could like this term, because I agree the world needs a pithy, memorable one for what you're describing. But alas, I don't think this is it, either.

Samsung has owned Harman Kardon and its stable of brands for a long time, and they've been mostly fine. Mainly, I think Samsung doesn't care about them except as names to license in "exclusive" partnerships with automake

Try something like a Sinc: https://keeb.io/products/sinc-rev-4-split-staggered-75-keybo... It's still mechanical, it's still split, it's still QMK programmable, it's got hotswap sockets so you can t

It is! If you want a keyboard that you never think about, a programmable wacky layout keyboard is not for you. But if you use your keyboard a lot, keyboard hobbyism can be rewarding to a certain point.

So a) that seems like a nightmare to me no matter what keyboard I'm on, but b) if you have frequently-used shortcuts that are a pita to get to, you can put them on a layer where you just use them. Like, I legitimately don't know a

The strong sense I got from reading this is that they don't believe it's possible to safely do this sort of thing right now, and they want to warn people away from Perplexity etc. so they can avoid losing market share while also n

I'm old enough to have been using Perl with CGI in the waning years of the old millennium. I loved it then, but it's not just hype cycles that caused people to move on to different solutions: Modern stuff is better in a bunch of v

Modern ChatGPT will (typically on its own; always if you instruct it to) provide inline links to back up its answers. You can click on those if it seems dubious or if it's important, or trust it if it seems reasonably true and/or

DHH is a weirdo, obviously, but I'll say that if you're doing Unixy dev work, there's less pain doing it on Linux than on MacOS, in the same way that MacOS is better than WSL.
