If you have read Cursor's obtuse verbosity (auto mode), Claude's talk comes across as sober and level-headed. Everytime I am about to complain about Claude, I'm reminded of that and am thankful that my main budget is allocate

Everybody generally agrees on what is garbage. Lot of senior management doesn't think AI is garbage or even if they privately think so, they don't say that openly. Falling in line, peer pressure, not wanting to come across as anti

> it will need at least some level of supervision from an actual expert. An expert? An expert or two? Maybe a few experts? Sure, even that is a lot less than how many we use today. Therein lies the issue.

Same. I setup a practice skill that has a curriculum/list of topics, teaching methodology, approach to drills, progress tracking and spaced repetition. Additionally I asked it to also give me problems relevant in my business domain so

Thanks for sharing that story. A lot of that resonated with me, having come from a similar background in education.

Concern about long term care is being treated as a negative trait. Like that guy who finds faults in everything and just slows things down. The thinking I have noticed is that, moving quickly with sub-optimal solutions is being preferred be

I tried to find a way to read the entire translation of a given work but I found only being able to highlight a word to see it's meaning, not the entire translation. Maybe I missed how to get that from this site? Or is there a site tha

If only it could do things as predictably as a steak machine. I guess flexibility comes at a price.

I have introduced my son to online Quake III servers where people still play regularly. The Quad Damage voiceover is still cool as hell.

I remember the days where our data center PC had CDROM drive so someone installed Quake (can't remember II or III) and we would play while the overnight multi-hour batch jobs were running.

> Of course the real answer is to just never expose the model to situations where an adversarial input could possibly lead to an undesired output. But that drastically limits what you can do with it. Does it though? Isn't that what

I have said it before: the only practical solution is two phones. Use a budget one for boring banking and government stuff. Use Linux phone for all that stuff that ad companies are actually interested in and totally cut them off from that

Sometimes there may be keybinding conflicts. Since when we have started to push back on bog standard expectations like usable buttons in a UI?

I broadly agree with you about improving quality through working together. But even with tons of discussion, they still write code that seems fine from a distance but is weird when you actually get down to actually reading it and thinking a

I can't make up my mind if the simplistic narrative typical of Chinese romcom shorts is more funny or more weird.

I apologize for bringing you to the 29th floor instead of the 3rd floor as you requested. That's on me. I will do better next time.

I remember reading about Elixir (or was it Erlang) and tried to follow a tutorial and trying to solve some simple exercises. I don't remember the details but I do remember writing the simple functions and they just stacked and fit lik

I use two mice just to be able to switch from the fatigued hand to the other without shifting the mouse repeatedly. I wish it was easy to have two cursors in KDE.

I have used tab groups and found then to be basically eating into horizontal tab space, once I created a bunch. Workspaces don't have that problem. I have tried vertical tabs but never felt comfortable with them.

Yes, it is a saving grace and I do use it in case of accidental closure. However, the workspace feature avoids having to manage multiple windows and generally feels snappier because it doesn't have to load/show all the windows at

Please Firefox, just implement workspaces. I'm tired of 10 windows, that I have created to segregate for each type of browsing, launching at startup and then me accidentally closing one and again having to manually add the tabs back. D

If I was a writer, I wouldn't use paper not because I want to write faster but because my brain works best in iterations. I want to try out an idea and see how it feels and course correct. Doing so after writing a hundred pages would b
