Thanks. Also - maybe change "talk to a human" to "talk to a grumpy robot" :)

Because PostHog's "Talk to a human" chat instead gets a grumpy gatekeeping robot (which also doesn't know how to get you to a working urgent support link), and there's nothing prominently on their home page or githu

I tried a prompt that consistently gets Gemini to badly hallucinate, and it responded correctly. Prompt: "At a recent SINAC conference (approx Sept 2025) the presenters spoke about SINAC being underresourced and in crisis, and suggeste

Who wants to read thousands of existing dotfiles? But I'm primarily talking about the missing pieces that most tiling window managers have that you need to implement yourself, or the annoying bugs that are buried in github. I need a lo

Who wants to spend their weekends reading desktop environment docs? If that's your hobby, fine. I just want a working DE.

I think Claude Code makes TilingWMs doable. I've always given up in the past because there have been reams of configs necessary to get to a fairly usable state, and I don't love reading manuals for desktop environments - but now i

The copy reeks of being AI written, which is ironic given: > It’s a compelling story. And like most of the AI influencer bullshit that fills my timeline, it glosses over the inconvenient details.

Nothing about telling it to fuck off, of course to "engineer" its user sentiment analysis?

Yeah the version numbering is a mistake. They should version based on their release, not the underlying base.

It goes from 410 to 389 in streetview. Gotta be in the middle of those.

Some background on Buzz for others: Buzz was a tragic case of not using version control. Apparently the author had a hard drive die, and his only copy of the source control went with it. It had a unique routing UX ( https://en.wik

Bitwig is my favorite software - it really is all in one music production software, and they have great support for Linux. I have used it hooked up to a room full of synths, but these days (due to space constraints) I make music with just t

Did you see a proposal? I'm merely pointing out that there's disasterously poor UX lurking in the #1 platform that users may encounter passkeys in. It's not ready to send out to normies without more work on it.

That's fine, but Chrome has 67% market share, and the majority of people will pick the default option for passkeys if prompted. For passkeys to replace passwords it's got to be seamless and easily recoverable without compromising

> Passkeys is the way to go. Password manager support for passkeys is getting really good. I set up a passkey for github at some point, and apparently saved it in Chrome. When I try to "use passkey for auth" with github, I get

But you could replace #2 with "Enter your password from GOOD, as they are our sign-in partner". I'm not in favor of emailing 6 digit codes either, but your scenario presupposes that users will be willing to trust that two ser

I run Frigate with 5 IP cameras (3 Hikvisions, 2 Amcrests) and 1 USB camera. I'm using a USB Coral TPU, which does a good enough job that Frigate can keep up with an average of only 30% CPU usage on an old Dell with 4 core i7-6700. Fri

For Hikvision sourced cameras, previews and exports work, but you can't play clips without transcoding. Unfortunately I haven't found a transcoding option that doesn't completely swamp my CPU (with 3 cameras) so I'm livi

We had a couple of minor break-ins in our neighborhood, and subsequently installed 3 very visible cameras along the neighborhood road (which is a dead end). No break-ins since.

Yes, and there are licensed MDs working for RFK specifically to demonize vaccines (while there are many other licensed MDs who see vaccines as being very positive and efficacious). A license doesn't make you right.

They're counting wordpress, drupal, various forums, etc. They make up a huge percentage of custom sites. If you're talking only custom built stacks, the percentage is definitely lower, but probably still surprisingly high.

Do you feel that way about IDEs also? Or compilers?

by smallerfish 1y ago
Yes but it's clunky as hell. We need something like a curl x.sh | firejail --new, which prompts a) do you want overlayfs? b) do you want network isolation? c) do you want to allow home directory access? And then, some equivalent for ac
