I think if you believe that the aids types give for refactoring are equivalent to structural editing, then you are the one who might not get the value of typing information (I say this as a Python person, and am totally willing to accept la

as someone who deals with dep upgrades and forensics when trying to figure out a bug I would get _so mad_ if `git diff` didn't show the diffs to lock files. I get what you're saying about it being line noise but when you need it y

what are y'all doing to hit that? Do you just not give it any pointers and let it churn away? What kind of context are you handing off? I routinely get claude to do things pretty decently and finish up easily in the 4-5 digit range of

Is there any form of client-side caching that kicks in with all of this flow? Tbh I don't feel great about people just writing up a bunch of scripts pulling things just on every run.

The OLFA small box cutter is more ergonomic, does the job, and costs 100x less so you could buy a 10 pack of em and put them everywhere you want one. Other people have linked serious box cutters for "I need to use a box cutter on 100 b

The Gakken toy record cutter was only 8000 yen when it was released[0]. My spouse bought one on a whim. The quality is ... quite bad. It's a tool for learning about how this works though! So it was a fun little activity. But it really

This is a weird angle I think? Desalination brine is a real problem, so if you can eliminate that then efficiency is less of an issue (especially given that desalination plants are often in places with a lot of sunlight!). You don't wa

I think 2017 is the big thing here. We had those early "blessed by Apple" USB-C LG monitors. Garbage when it came to connectivity. Same with docks and the like. We're now 9 years later so... I think it's all better now t

It sounds like this isn't a cost problem but a supply problem. At one point a 20% reduction in inputs has to affect some output.
