It's grifting, plain and simple. And that blog is atrocious, high noise-to-signal and repulsive, AI-generated everything.

Very cool website! I like the theme picker and the extensive but easily navigable articles and tags.

Try RimWorld only if you're sure it won't nerd-snipe you.

IIRC you can use the -p flag to open that menu on launch. It also opens when you haven't set a default profile. And it's possible to access other profiles via about:profiles.

Great tool! I'm always impressed by how versatile a tool Transient is. I use it extensively as well and there's nothing like it anywhere else.

Babashka is the best scripting environment out there. You just need that one executable and it runs flawlessly. The bundled libs are also very useful.

Because purporting to be extra-rational about decisions is effective nerd-bait.

I only use LLMs as a substitute for stackexchange, and sometimes to write boilerplate code. The free chat provided by deepseek works very well for me, and I've never encountered any usage limits. V3 / R1 are mostly sufficient.

Low language fluency with a purported high social effect / professional pretense is a good indicator for fraud. ESLs often translate English from their native tongue (which carries over the structure of their native tongue) instead of

I'd argue that AI reduces the distance between the floor and the ceiling, only both the floor and ceiling move -- the floor moves up, the ceiling downwards. Just using AI makes the floor move up, while over-reliance on it (a very perso

It definitely wasn't worth it, and the only reason it got off the ground was because of the current default expectation of human-written software being somewhat reliable and mostly safe from exploits of this kind.

Most places on the planet have enough trouble managing plumbing and electricity distribution. Fixing these basic issues globally (in time!) is the moonshot, no matter what the media / hype-gurus / CEOs say.

This isn't new. This is exactly the same as "Flip" from Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection. Play here: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/flip...

There is no "correct interface". People who want to learn put in the effort, doesn't matter if they have scrolls, books, ebooks or AI.

Bingo. The scale they're operating at, new features don't have to be useful, they only need to look like they are for the first few minutes.

HUDs are primarily of use to people that are used to parsing dense visual information. Wanting HUDs on a platform that promises to do your work for you is quite pointless.

I can read at speeds higher than 800wpm and comprehend everything. It's about practice. Although, yes, simpler material is easier to read at higher speeds.

Broken English still has its charm and brings the structure of the writer's native language to the fore, which makes it relatively easier to parse and glean intentions from than polished LLM-speak.

Variations on increasing compute and filtering results aside, the only way out of this rut is another breakthrough as big, or bigger than transformers. A lot of money is being spent on rebranding practical use-cases as innovation because t

I don't know what's worse - the fact that the original project encourages cheating or that someone managed to wrangle funding to cheat the cheaters.

Sounds like the author never really had any use for it, and was undergoing informational bankruptcy. Most people don't delete theirs, though, they just keep it apart and never re-arrange it.

You're right, it's an incredibly pyrrhic decisions that aims to wrestle the meaning of the word towards apple's implementation. I mean, the company is named "apple". This kind of raze-a-language marketing is in th

That's irrelevant. That was a command and a program and this is a product.

I don't play music on my phone very often. But when I do, I use VLC to access my local minidlna server. It's easy and works with ~no config.

Sorry, but AI generated video is unwatchable. Even now, when it's really great. It just doesn't seem authentic.

"Edit". Really? Was that the only name available? I am sick of these companies repurposing very common computing terms for their mediocre products.
