Very nice. This brings GNU/HURD features to about the year 1995 which is impressive for its brief 35 year existence.

Genesis is the prologue for the rest of the Torah, which is about the Hebrews. It's not supposed to be read in isolation to everything else. "impossible to understand how the Book of Genesis could possibly form the foundation of t

To Grok's credit I think it's fairly good as a creative writing tool because it can be very "spontaneous" and it naturally seems to use an informal style. It also lacks a lot of the words and phrasing Claude and OpenAI g

I have noticed in very long context Claude chats (not Code) it will start to push ending the conversation. I’ve seen patterns like “this is an excellent place to wrap up” or “this is our final and most comprehensive analysis” So like Mr. Me

Cool article, but Silpheed is a genuinely awful game. Just warning if you are tempted to play it after this lol

I'm not an expert but those look like pretty wimpy columns? Kind of surprising, when I worked in a tower it had exposed concrete columns that were very thick in comparison

Not only does Claude not look at all the files, it doesn’t even look at the entire contents of the files it does read, since the tool seems to be a pager!

Yeah I agree completely, especially because Redis is one of the easiest things to set up. This feels like the wages of tokenmaxxing lol

Why is the Genesis so slow? I've used Linux on other m68k "workstations" and it seemed ok.

"To play a computer game in in the 1990s, you first had to understand how the computer worked. So you learned. You opened files like autoexec.bat and you read them." Ehh I dunno about that. I rarely, if ever, had to mess with any

“The word “capitalism” would not be coined for another 3,800 years. Adam Smith was 3,700 years from picking up his pen.” This is pretty bad writing lol. Markets are as old as civilization itself, Adam Smith obviously knew this. General comm

George Hotz’s entire tenure as a Twitter “intern” was so hilariously embarrassing. And the entire preamble at the time about basically “purging the parasites” and Heroic 100x Coders (the search still sucks)

Sure, the current Torment Nexus buildout might be a bubble. But just think: in 10 years we will already have all this torment infrastructure built, ready to use.

Fable + Ultracode has found a bunch of bugs and issues for me when the workflow agents are doing their exploration. Also the "adversarial" agent seems to surface a lot of interesting stuff. It's definitely proactive, the plan

The trade actually involved different measurements. The shekel (silver, commodity-money) was weighed by the Sumerian purchaser and then given to the trader in Dilmun (he would literally have a bag full of weights and silver) The Meluhha com

Not in this case, the "Indus" weights were notably used in the Dilmun trade even by Sumerian buyers. The Meluhha->Dilmun trade weights were in fact found across Mesopotamia in general. They've been measured to be extremely

I'm saying some kind of institution was in charge of the manufacture and certification. Much like the weights produced by Sumer, which was uncontroversially a "state"

"Trade practices show a similar pattern. Indus seals, used for business and administration, turned up in common homes across the city. Archaeologists did not find evidence showing rulers controlled access to these objects. Standardized

I doubt they put this much thought into it, but I'd say the backdoor is actually the "-n" flag and this is some modified version of login that just does setuid(0) for whatever you put after.

Everything I have seen seems like Trump was really expecting Iran to be a “3 day special operation” so the humiliating boondoggle and stand-off/interceptor etc depletion wasn’t part of the 4D chess. They probably expected Cuba would al

They look really good. I really enjoy looking at midcentury engineering charts/diagrams and stuff like jeppesen charts. NASA has a lot of good ones. The way the text looks, the line economy, the general aesthetic. Well worth the effort

There is absolutely no way it was from scratch. Phoenix and Firefox both had XUL. It was a derivative of Gecko from Mozilla.

I don’t think it’s that good of an idea because only 50% of my roof was good for solar power (that is what faces the sun) so having the entire thing be panels is mostly a waste. I’m sure this is the case for a lot of houses. When I had pane
