This kind of thing is almost always a result of the performance culture. There are a lot of promo oriented people in big tech who just want money and have no ethics (or engineering competency usually), sadly. These people have no issue at a

Kind of bizarre tbh, given the software market for VR seems absolutely dead. Announcing it with a 7 year old game is like, what? What's Valve's plan here?

Except far less comfortable and motion sick inducing for a non-trivial portion of the population. No thanks. HL Alyx was awesome though, nothing else on VR has been worth it for me.

I purge my box every few years. Do you really need 20 usb cables. I do save the esoteric ones though.

Triple fold just seems awkward as heck, plus you have to design the UI for it around the fold section. I’m pretty bullish on the duo design. Hopefully we see some more unique designs in the future if this works out.

What's up with all the negativity? Apple is finally doing something radical (for them) again with the iPhone, their bread and butter. And I'm all here for it. 10 years of the same form factor was getting old. I'm gonna buy th

Reminds me a lot of big tech campus interior decoration. A lot of greys, neutral colors, very little color or personality. Pretty much what you'd expect from techies that never really thought too hard about their living space beyond fu

Well I guess it’s time to move my repos and stop paying. The moralism here is ridiculous. My code is my own, sorry.

bibliotek is an interesting one, and one of the most exclusive trackers around. They have very high requirements as their entire purpose is archival. You can't download anything without uploading new content first. It's probably t

I can believe it. They are used for general anxiety disorder which I imagine can be kind of similar - an over-reaction to some stimuli.

Eh I feel like search results have been pretty bad for years. SEO and fake page link farms ruined it. ChatGPT is trained on all of Reddit and internet forums where most of the useful info is. It just automates the drudgery.

Yeah I pretty much soley used assistant.kagi.com the last couple months. Traditional search days are really numbered. I'm finding though ChatGPT with sol 5.6 is as good or better, so I'm using that primarily these days. Can also d

Just use Sol 5.6. There's no reason to endure Anthropic models anymore.

Yeah OAI really nailed the communication style with GPT. It also seems just way more token efficient and faster compared to cc. Myself and all my friends have cancelled our $200 Anthropic subs. I'm using a $20 personal plan and even th

tintinweb/pi-subagents. Then I use superpowers and it spins up subagents automatically. Works really well and you can customise the models and efforts you want to use with local AGENTS.md. I’m primarily using gpt-5.6 and then opus for

Pi harness with subagents is pretty great. I’m using it for everything now.

Not hard to understand. People will pay for a better UX. Which Plex has, once you disable all the streaming junk. Also there’s simply more clients for it. The only way to play Bluray Dolby Vision layers correctly is with an AM6B+ which has

This assumes Valve isn't artifically bumping up the Steam Machine for more exposure.

Well I don't know the details from Apple's side, and this was 20 years ago. That was just the discussion on the ground. I personally experienced a senior Mot employee grilling me about some IP I had developed, then go to Apple the

Psychotherapy. I've also done a lot of CBT in the past - but I found it didn't really solve my issues, just provides some temporary relief. I personally found going for a long walk to be better than CBT techniques.

Yep - meds. Tried a bunch and duloxetine is making a massive difference for me. On them for 4 months so far. Also picked up therapy yet again but tbh I never found therapy to really solve things - it helps me understand myself better at a l

This... I finally changed my life by talking to a psychiatrist after 40+ years of suffering and trying a myriad of things. Mental illnesses are real and need real treatment.

The irony to me is Apple did the exact same thing to Motorola back in the day, which I saw firsthand as a Mot eng. Poached employees and IP. I doubt the iPhone would have happened otherwise. Jobs was absolutely ruthless and would do anythin

As an old timer, I saw this firsthand happen with Motorola. Apple did the same shenanigans, stealing IP and engineers. I doubt the iPhone would have happened otherwise. Jobs was absolutely ruthless and would do anything for his goals.

The harness is so much better than cc which is a buggy mess. Gpt is also way faster than Claude. I’ve been using gpt for a while now and I know a lot of people that swapped away from Anthropic for multiple reasons. However - fable still see

This is the one great feature about Gmail I think. But I haven’t touched Gmail in years, been on fastmail for about 6 years now. I’ve solved this by using the fastmail-mcp plugin and have a skill that organises all my mails for me and highl
