I would prefer to use agent-assisted python scripts that chatbot.

Copycats and rip-offs are really fast. Recently outbid.lol was the target.

There is a recent PISA research that students slowly decline in understanding the long reads. E.g. in one country, 21% of high school students do not even achieve “sufficient reading literacy”… So the question should be - what are we going

> use them like a copyeditor rather than a ghostwriter This is what you need to know. Seriously, after 25 years in news (writing), you realize that you need “second eyes”, not the first hands.

There so many stuff for discussion. Running a personal site was easy - until we started to overcomplicate it. CMS, vulnerability of it, disappearing sites that we linked in good assumption… For those who want to use Wordpress, add wordfence

There is a 403 forbidden error.

Doomsayers are so visible now… and people are attracted by dark emotions 8 times more than good ones. So it is quite normal that “AI doom” is so chatted. If we get eventually wiped out by “aliens” (= high AGI), we won’t even know that. Unti

“Elara” is present so many times in App Store - almost nobody would write the whole name, imho renaming the app should be taken into consideration.

Although a lot of people don’t like talking with automated call centres (press 1, if you want to continue), ElevenLabs’ service focuses on helping plumbers etc. where there aren’t so many incoming calls that it could fully employ someone.

After 24 years and it is still useful. I would add Sed and Awk books as well.

Don’t catch me by word :) Would you prefer starting with compiling a program or running a python script? Imho for beginners it is too heavy, even a python that is so hyped recently.

Difficulty is too many technologies available. So a beginner needs something/someone that teaches principles. I have realized that simplier (boring) is better. E.g. simple html5 css combo is better instead of trying to navigate in JS

Did they ask for reindexing? Did they do redirects? What are the keywords that are searched? (“Excel” is different and much more searched than “row”.)

You are welcome. Happy to help.

LFS is known but it is really more a cookbook than explanatory principles. Principles can be studied from “Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces“ book - https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ Rob Love wrote the b

After almost 4 years with LLMs, if my prompt is too vague that I don’t know how to ask precisely, I use this prompt “I have this idea… {description here} How would ideal prompt look like to make idea realize?” And in second round I polish p

Fair enough. Make a splash screen that detects mobile device. “Please use app on desktop. Small screen mobile devices are not supported.” or something similar…

Nicely done. Online editor seems not loading in mobile Safari browser. Imho “vector PDF” is going to be confusing for focus group. Just “PDF” is fine.

Getting burnout from LLM-assisted coding or any other activity is here. What exhausts and leads to burnout, is probability. Sometimes you get so much dopamine if it goes right. And sometimes you feel like an idiot because LLM does so many m

I don’t like how LLMs answer and as they are statistical machines I have found out that I need to check every text they produce. From the first sight everything seems cool. But it isn’t. :) Exception is code that is so huge output you can’t

News sites can be very large - so running on Wordpress.com infrastructure can cause such amount. With cloud storage (provided by WP), additional support etc.

A screw can't be 99.9 percent correct—it has to be 100 percent correct. Microns matter. Claude Code: Oops, I am sorry but I was wrong. As you say it is quicker to do it by hand. Now. I certainly wouldn’t entrust this job to a general-p

Thanks for mention they are not associated w/ Herdr. I've banned myself from installing any more software for half a year. Otherwise, I'll never get rid of this anxiety caused by all the available options :)

Typography of these LLM-generated sites is bad. Design is a question of taste, I am not commenting it. But yes, you are right that we get tired of these sites as they are indistinguishable. Have anyone tried to print or switch page to brows

It is quite sad, isn’t it. Internet has become both tool of mass mind destruction and tool of joy. High bandwidth connection, mobile phones without keyboard - this combo has changed the way people use internet. Anxiety among kids when they

Who wants to fight a battle that could be a lifelong one and along the way some lose their enthusiasm for the cause… I would rather make a lifelong campaign “don’t do drugs”… if you make national all-year-long donate-funded campaigns on eve

There should be some scale for comparison just to wow people more. I think that most of us underappreciate how really tiny models are.
