I wonder if LLMs and Gen AI represent a shift similar to the invention of the tractor a century ago. Initially, both technologies struggled to find their most effective applications, despite grand promises of transformative productivity. It

I tried this on OpenRouter chat interface to write a few documents. Quick thoughts: Its writing has less vibe of AI due to the lack of em-dashes! I primarily use Kimi2 Thinking for personal usage. Kimi writing is also very good, on par with

The agentic development scene has slowly turned into a full-blown JavaScript circus—bright lights, loud chatter, and endless acts that all look suspiciously familiar. We keep wrapping the same old problems in shiny new packages, parading th

I can’t help but wonder: if we had poured the same amount of money into fusion energy research and development, how far might we have come in just three short years?

Really? I bought an Archer AC1200 at Costco. It was a recent model at the time but received no updates after 1 year.

I suspect that the OpenRouter result originates from a quantized hosting provider. The difference compared to the direct API call from Moonshot is striking, almost like night and day. It creates a peculiar user and developer experience sinc

I believe draw.io achieves complete state persistence solely through the URL. This allows you to effortlessly share your diagrams with others by simply providing a link that contains an embedded Base64-encoded string representing the diagra

Is there a jj tutorial not assuming git knowledge at all? I'd love to see how to approach jj without git.

The Turbo Pascal “IDE” was my very first dive into programming, and it’s still the best experience I’ve ever had! Maybe it’s just because it was my first, but wow, it already had tons of cool features back then, like syntax highlighting, st

I can’t quite put my finger on why this doesn’t excite me. First, there was MCP — and honestly, my feelings about it were mixed. In the end, it’s just tool calling, only now the tools are hosted somewhere else instead of being implemented a

It’s on there, right? And that “thought leader” title they’ve put on LinkedIn? I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out what that means!

I'm waiting for the day when the iphone would be equipped with an M chip. Maybe not long of a wait I hope.

A side note: is it just me or not but I prefer my new car to still providing tactile buttons to control things? I get that smart cars like Tesla wants to push touch-screen on everything but the control mechanism just feels clunky for me. Wh

This is not applicable on iOS. The Firefox app remains a wrapper built on Apple’s WebKit engine rather than a fully native implementation. However, with the recent release of uBlock for iOS, Safari has become significantly more tolerable. I

What about YouTube? I was watching a cooking show there with my kids the other day when, out of nowhere, an ad popped up, something about a jacket called “Bear” something. A man in the ad was trying to unzip his jacket, but his awkward, jer

In many ways, the fear of hunger is deeply ingrained within us as human beings. Our instincts continually drive us to optimize for consumption and survival. Yet, how often do we pause to reflect on how much of our daily lives revolve around

The horror that starvation inflicts on the human mind is beyond comparison. My grandfather experienced this firsthand when he fled from the Japanese invasion, an occupation that stripped civilians of their food supply. He helplessly watched

For me, it isn't 100% language warts. It is the customer experience that matters the most for me. Can I compile and ship my products to my customers without having them to install a VMs, container runtime or a language runtime? That th

I didn't even know the em dash or how to produce them until now! FYI: in a Mac, you use Shit + Option + - (the minus) to create the em dash.

Turns out the old saying, "Let the kids play and eat dirt," might’ve been right all along—who knew? All this time, they might've been giving themselves tiny doses of natural antibacterials without even realizing it.

Imagine one day that Tesla will only allow you to control your car with voice commands. It would be hilarious. Is conversation UX suitable for everything? I think not. Turn left, no other left, no the left after that left. No, damn it stop

Let's me try to give you the solutions to your problems using Mac. 1. Homebrew: I use Nix package manager (with home manager, though you don't need to) and get rid of homebrew completely. 2. Docker: I assume you referred to Deskto
