My thoughts are that LLMs are like cooking a chicken by slapping it: yes, it works, but you need to reach a certain amount of kinetic energy (the same way LLMs only "start working" after reaching a certain size). So then, if we ca

There are also some minor issues with composite actions and reusable workflows. If I use composite actions, the logs get associated with the wrong step[1]. It's just a visual thing (the steps themselves run fine), but having 90% of you

Related, but this is something that I would like if browsers gave more importance to. Literally a few moments ago I was playing a video from a Nitter instance (Twitter proxy), and wanted to save it with Firefox but nope. Firefox already has

One thing I like about Alpine Linux is how easy and dumbproof it is to make packages. It's not some wild beast like trying to create `.deb` files. If anyone out there is already fully committed to using only Alpine Linux, I'd re
