The difference is that cook them in something cast iron pan like with lard the way my grandmother did. In her case, big ass can of crisco. I bet a lot of people would be turned off if they realized that, but there ain’t no way around it fo

Safeway and its nationwide equivalents are the epitome of this. These stores haven’t changed since at least when I was a kid in the 80s. They end up selecting for the most desperate employees because they treat them so badly.

My favorite thing was when the largest HEBs had garden centers. They had a selection of native plants that you would only find at local specialty $$$ nurseries at fair prices. I wish they would bring these back. I would start in the garde

Same here. After 7 years out of state, I moved back to TX and was at HEB almost every day to marvel at the selection of products and ready to eat foods (was also single).

As soon as Covid was viewed as a serious threat in the US, they immediately put up plexiglass barriers to protect their cashiers. Immediately and not just half assed barriers. They did as good of a job as I would have done if I were the c

Reminds me of this guy's solid work that includes an LLM integration that works on classic macs 68k and PPC https://www.macintoshrepository.org/68191-legacyai . Use it on my OS 9 PPC.

If you don’t need the lastest models, I recommend https://eshop.macsales.com/ for refurbished that I can trust. Their prices seem reasonable to me. I have been buying from them since I was a kid in the 90s and it was a (t

Especially if the company could simply reimburse $200/month Claude or codex. Those are a steal. Hard to exhaust those limits.

aquaemacs was helpful for me when I was new to emacs backin ‘07. When I forgot some commands, having a gui with menus was handy.

I haven’t seen fable do anything significantly better than I can already do with codex 5.5 xhigh. It’s virtually u limited for now for me for $200/month. Seems like a steal while it lasts. Paying by api keys now is not the way to go

Not even an example of the glyphs??? Smithsonian must be another repository of clickbait like Forbes.

I live outside of Austin TX and have seen one regularly parked outside a house in my neighborhood for 5 years now. Has a license plate. If I had to bet, I’d say it’s registered (taxes paid, has required insurance) because police around he

These meta articles make me think of how any tech company - even small startups - can so easily paint a picture of an individual or team performance with a frontier LLM. I use codex myself to remind me what I did over the last 6 months (lo

I a so happy that I currently work at a job with mostly competent senior engineers for once in my life. The nightmares of contractors or overhired new grads without supervision would just be so much more devastating on an organization thes

Same. It pains me to hear quibbling about spending or reimbursing $200/month for codex or Claude plans . These are virtually inexhaustible for me as a software engineer and seem like a steal given the gains in efficiency. And, who wa

There are plenty of folks that either don’t have a sense of pride or ownership for the products they are associated with. Or, they just do not have a deep sense of what it actually takes to ship quality products. You’d be surprised at how

Local business searches has been bad for years. I setup g! as a shortcut in the query to use Google for this specific reason. Part of the problem is that Google ratings search integration made alternatives like yelp irrelevant.

If you want the exact same typesetting as the physical book, pdf is ideal. On a big enough iPad, this would be readable like a physical book. But, yeah, painful as hell on a smaller screen.

Yep. Go to yandex, search for book, download ebook, done. I’ll order a hardcover of the book if I liked it. I don’t mind reading on an iPhone (iBooks will open it and even sync it across devices). If I did, I’d use Calibre to load books

Colonoscopies used to be like this in the US more often (“you’ll be awake but won’t remember it”). I feel bad for the me that existed in that time window of discomfort. 20 years later they did general anesthesia (family history of colon c

I did stuff like this with bing when they first released their OpenAI based model. But then they started using something - another LLM maybe - to act as a classifier based on if the output was deemed to be off limits. I would see the mode

I wish someone would elaborate on what they were doing and observed since Jan on opus 4.6. I’ve been using it with 1m context on max thinking since it was released - as a software engineer to write most of my code, code reviews + research

I agree but I adjust text like this for readability using epubs and iPhone apps. I don’t see a reason for another device given how good iPhone screens are now.
