I wish I still had my old TRS-80 Model 100, my first computer. In some ways it solved for most of the problems I have with writing in public on a tablet or a laptop. Basically a big mechanical keyboard with a small low-res screen that ran f

At 45, this is something that scares me about using AI to write code for me. I view my job not just as a rewarding problem-solving challenge, but also as a vital form of exercise, possibly the only thing in my life that unites my creative b

Sandbox a third AI that just bets on AI stocks and crypto. Add a fourth AI to check the third AI's bets, and a fifth one to go on forums and pump the relevant equities. A sixth AI can short sell when the fourth AI gets overheated.

It's not bad at following my own style. I have longstanding quirks like naming any string that will end up in a DB query with a "q_" in front of the variable name, and shockingly Claude picks up on those and mimicks them. Wou

Just from reading your comment, I think I have a very similar view to yours about the meaning of life, what constitutes a life well lived, and what we should spend our time on. Like you, I'm ridiculously uninterested in toys, especiall

Nit: Quality of life for average Germans went up, not down, once they brought back slavery and started pillaging other countries. If that's the metric we're using to decide what form of government we want, then all bets are off; e

I went to a speed dating thing once that tried to incorporate its own (clearly homemade) tech stack into the experience. Every few minutes you'd get a text telling you who to find next... to look for the person in the red scarf or cowb

The way I usually structure it is that the only exception would be some type of failure to connect. Any actual error thrown by the service comes back as a result.error, and any failure (like email address taken) comes back as result.fail. T

Why loops specifically? Why not conditionals? A lot of code needs to assemble a result set based on if/then or switch statements. Maybe you could add those in each step of a chain of inline functions, but what if you need to skip some

It seems crazy to me that any country would outsource storage of military intelligence data to a foreign corporation. But my reading of the article is that the data is physically stored in Amazon and Google datacenters on Israeli soil. If f

It's not that they can't do that. It's how do you know for sure that they do it every single time?

Sooo, the main reason we looked at Affinity as an alternative to the Adobe suite was the fact that it was a one-time purchase without forced updates or all the extra garbage Adobe obsessively adds that slows down each new version. Affinity

The abacus is awesome, and fun to learn. My parents bought me a miniature one on a trip to San Francisco when I was 8 years old (first time visiting Chinatown). It came with an illustrated pamphlet and I started practicing with it and figur

In the context of gambling, random numbers or prngs can't have any unknown possible frequencies or tendencies. There can't be any doubt as to whether the number could be distorted or hallucinated. A pseudo random number that might

Slow, rhythmic speech pattern. Relaxing tones. Asking you to focus on your heart rate or breathing. Counting, or asking you to count mentally. Low lights or candle light. These are the things that come to mind.

In the photo I saw, the tip was metal and had a blob resembling an amalgam on it so it may not have been pure liquid mercury there.

MW defines verbal as "of, relating to, or consisting of words". I don't think anyone would argue that animals don't communicate with each other. Some may even have language we can't interpret, which may consist of

In my experience with both Copilot and Claude, Claude makes subtler mistakes that are harder to spot, which also gobbles up time. Yes, giving it CLI access pretty cool and helps with scaffolding things. But unless you know exactly what you
