I stopped my MaxX20 sub at the right time it seems like. These systems are already quick to judge innocuous actions; I don't need any more convenient chances to lose all of my chat context on a whim. Related : I am now approaching week

absolutely agreed. you swallow the taste of the terrible hardware of a steam deck for the support of valve/proton/devs and the ecosystem.

in my experience TDD is a very powerful paradigm for use with LLMs. it does a good enough job of wrangling behavior via implied context of the test-space that it seems to really reduce the amount of explanation needed and surprise garbage o

doing this on a fan that used a dry lubricant can burn a wire lead from increased startup torque requirements to get it spinning. it's not bad advice but it's worth noting that petroleum jelly is pretty thick compared to a machini

I forgot all about blue light. they were popular among hacker types during the free phase because they were one of the free ISPs that had an easy-to-fake dialer for a straight tcp/ip connection for nix machines.

Being on day 4 of being ignored entirely by CSRs from Anthropic after 5 months of paying for Max x20 has put a sufficiently bad taste in my mouth that it has killed all of my previous Claude Code cheer-leading efforts. Sure, go have fun w

counterpoint : I had a max x20 account for the past three months and hit limits just about every period that fell within working hours. I finally cancelled it two days ago due to overspending-guilt/token-grinding guilt, and they shorte

Honda/Acura/Toyota have used similar systems for years; this is one of the reasons why cloning a key costs less flagged hours than making a new one for an owner that lost all of them : when you lose all of them you need to get the

it's just incompleteness -- a human issue. most in-use LLMs prompted with a simple "You're in charge of infrastructure security, let's review possible problem points" would have uncovered this. I wouldn't fault

amcrest and reolink are some of the only large Chinese resellers that actually ensure onvif is implemented. yeah they have a login wall without a reflash, but most of them do -- but the hardware isn't bad and you can keep it local aft

depends on the methodology really. if you're doing TDD style work but with an AI it's not uncommon to one-shot a function and then throw it against your battery of tests. it's also pretty doable if you're writing smallis

it's not bad if you go at least one generation backwards and have big data hoarding requirements. SSDs are so much nicer maintenance wise.. but having a tape changer on your rack wasting energy at home is another type of nerd cool .

200 bucks a month isn't enough. Fine. Make a plan that is enough so that I will be left alone about time limits and enforced breaks. NOTHING breaks flow better than "Woops! Times up!"; it's worse than credit quotas -

It's still effort. If you have someone shitting up your PRs with personal complaints you can either put the effort in to squelch the opponent or you can just walk away. For unpaid FOSS work there is often very little to be gained excep
