I can't stand military jets over my neighborhood. I get irrationally angry every time I'm walking somewhere with my wife and we both have to completely stop talking for two blocks because some F-14 is blasting around over our head

Those folding clothes clips are the best: - The robot dragging one corner over itself into a sloppy mess. - Cut. - It’s perfectly folded.

Am I reading that chart wrong? I see Opus ahead across every bitrate.

by pkulak 4mo ago
Yeah, but if you reach for the top shelf every time you need a word, you can't compare things anymore.

And every benchmark is "build GTA-6 from nothing, as a single-page web app".

I think the point is that when you don’t control the ad, it’s a bit tough to normalize its audio. And controlling the ad means bringing ad serving in house, which while possible, is a huge engineering ask. I guess the solution is to switch

I don’t think YouTube normalizes the audio on their videos. I have no idea why, but that could easily become a quiet video that leads into a -16 LUFS ad that blows your ears out.

I self host everything but email and credentials. Email because I already have a full time job, and credentials because if an emergency is sufficient enough to remove me from my hardware, that’s when I’ll need my passwords the most. To be f

That's how it works for every rich/powerful person in every aspect of their lives; maybe to a slightly lesser degree with health.

I bought my last car on Craigslist. It was quite pleasant and I like the car. Not that there isn't garbage/scams there, but there's garbage on marketplace too (more, to my eye). I make a point to always go to Craigslist first

I pay month to month.
105.
by pkulak 4mo ago
Sure. But OpenAI is the same price. Why would I pay $18/month for z.ai when OpenAI is $20/month?

by pkulak 4mo ago
Oh! Yes, you're totally right. I remember going to a bit of trouble in the beginning to filter to default.nix, because yes, the template absolutely just imported everything. I must have had some good reason, but that reason is lost to
107.
by pkulak 4mo ago
Hmmm... not sure I understand. My setup recursively imports every default.nix in modules and hosts. About that... I don't have a really great defense. It's how the little template I started out with did it. :D I do like it though.

I tried OpenClaw, but holy smokes, that project is bigger than Postrgres. All I want is a Pi session I can put on a server and load up with skills, that I can chat with over matrix. To that end, I found this amazing project called OpenCrow.

Once you hit the Chezmoi stage, you're only about 6 months from Nix and Home Manager. I mean, why climb _almost_ to the top of a mountain and then just sit down?

From my VERY brief understanding: this is like if you want the hole-punching of a VPN, but your stuff is public, so not only do you not want all the security of a VPN, but it works against you. But I'm happy to be corrected!

> Reopening the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days "under Iranian arrangements" Oh my goodness. So it stays closed for the better part of a month (or more, who knows), then opens up with each ship paying Iran for passage. I very m

Why z.ai and not an ollama pro plan that can use all the open models? Real question, not snark. I've only ever done ollama and wonder what I'm missing.

by pkulak 4mo ago
Well, the markets sure don't think so, and they are betting with their money, not words. WTI is about 80 bucks right now. Barely above average.

> It's a lot more interesting to actually look at the mechanisms Yes, and that's why I read TFA. And it was interesting. My point still stands, however, that every previous doom prediction has been wrong.

Feels like every day for three months there's a piece about how tomorrow the price of gas is going $200/barrel. It never does though. Gas may just be a lot more elastic now than it was 50 years ago, or even 3 years ago. I have no

Hey look, the guy who calls it Sports Ball. Everyone loves that guy.

Wow, this is perfect. I've never found a sports app that was better than going to google.com and typing a team name. This is finally it. All I want to know, when it's getting about 4pm and my eyes start to glaze over: is there a g

I open and close terminals _constantly_, but I'm usually pretty weird in my workflow, so no comment on your first question. I run a scrolling WM and have settled into a habit of opening terminals when I need them, then closing them rig

The last time Democrats had a full majority they passed the most consequential climate legislation ever. The time before that, health care reform. Republicans couldn’t do anything to stop it. It’s how the system works. It’s not some movie s
