   UB = undefined behaviour, for anyone else who was puzzled.

   Even better, the mechanic writes a blog post about how the locks on that guy's car don't work, and how anyone could just steal it, but doesn't tell the guy because, after all, the guy wasn't paying him to.

   Every time someone makes a cultural comment here, the reply is always "America is a big country". America can be a big country and still have common cultural elements. It's not inaccurate to say that citizens of a large count

   I follow him on Bluesky and he routinely raises money to buy things on auction and scan them/digitize them and upload them for free. One-of-a-kind concert tapes, obscure software floppy disks, random manuals, videotapes of random shows

   I've been using Deepseek 4 Pro (instead of Sonnet 4.6) as the developer LLM (Opus is the planner) and it's been great. Not super fast, with all the reasoning, but has been writing good code, and I think I paid $5 so far (whereas w

   He's saying it was solar-based up until a hundred years ago or so, no?

   Spanish only has two genders, masculine and feminine, so these sorts of mistakes are an interesting revelation of how language works.

    I use the official API, OpenRouter somehow didn't use caching and one short session with Qwen cost me $5.

    In my (obviously anecdotal) testing, DeepseekV4 Pro was better than Sonnet at coding. However, it is much slower, but also many times cheaper, especially with the promotion right now.

    For me, it was definitely a bug, because my issue is I can't restrain myself. I don't lose weight, I just get pains. If I could restrain myself, why do I need the medication?

    That's not my experience with tirzepatide. When it worked for me (which was a brief period, admittedly), it kind of turned me off fatty foods, and I wouldn't want to have pizza, for example, but I'd crave a chicken breast and

    > How did you get to 15mg and only had it working for 2 weeks? Shrug, it's a mystery to me as well. It did take many months to get to that point.

    Unfortunately, my experience with tirzepatide doesn't make me hopeful: It either gave me terrible diarrhea and sulfur burps, or it did nothing at all, even on 15mg. Hopefully retatrutide is different, but I'm not holding my breath

    The best way I've found to work with LLMs is another OpenAI project, Symphony (which I implemented for Linear/GitHub and OpenCode[0]). It integrates with your issue tracker and makes the tracker the UI for the LLM. It also clones

    Are these markers actual text? Or does the model "see" one token per marker?

    If they're only showing OpenGraph tags, then yeah, that's a bizarre ban. I can understand banning showing entire stories, which makes people not click through, but OG tags? The site can just change those.

    Hm no, at some point you were asked whether you want USD or BTC, plus (later) whether you want it guaranteed now or whether you want to wait for more. That's what I remember, anyway.

    I think you would have been much better off choosing the bitcoin option. You'd have gotten around 40 BTC back, I think.

    They emailed us during the course of the lawsuit, I followed the instructions and they sent me maybe half my BTC in the end.

    I agree with you, I immediately understood what they are, but what's the problem with more clarification? I've upvoted you.

    I'm really thankful I put my bitcoin in a time vault back in 2012 or so. It was inaccessible until about last year, and my $10 is now worth $100k. Thank you MtGox.

    Korea is hardly the developing world, but they're from not-US, basically, which might as well be the developing world as far as the conversation is concerned.

    Ahh it didn't click that this was shareware enforcement, thanks. I guess back in those days developers weren't really fussed about payment, because paying was really hard (mailing in checks, and nobody had credit cards). Many of t

    Also, if the game is single-player, you don't care: Simply let the players enjoy the game how they want to enjoy it.
