LOL that's crazy, but I would also recommend that any user of these devices who don't have an actual medical issue that requires the device to work, for whatever value of "work" it is capable of ... maybe consider doin

I tried so hard to make Codex work, after the glowing reviews (not just from Internet randos/potential-shills, though; people I know well, also). It's objectively worse for me on every possible axis than Claude Code. I even wonder

OK, maybe my point got lost because I didn't know that, but I should have just added Visual Studio to my list — it too has LLM and agentic features, which was my point. If you can't use LLMs to generate placeholder graphics that

I mean, I share some of the concerns you expressed, but at the same time there is no chance at all that working programmers and artists won't be using LLMs (and whatever "AI" comes next). I'm a programmer, and I enjoyed

Interesting. I don't do games, so I may be wrong, but I thought a lot of Unreal Engine devs used Jetbrains. So what editors do they use? Are there current IDEs or code editors shipping in 2025 that don't have any LLM-based codin

LOL this is beyond idiotic. Banning AI-generated assets from being used in the game is a red line we could at least debate. But banning using AI at all while developing the game is... obviously insane on its face. It's literally eq

I've been waiting so long for this DE, but as a longtime KDE user who really doesn't like GNOME, GNOME is literally the only DE on Linux that can do Windows/Mac-equivalent remote desktop on Wayland. COSMIC isn't yet clos

Nah. Incus. Sorry, but I bought Proxmox 7, but it is not comparable. Incus does everything (and more) with better interface, WAY better reliability, and also not like a hundred EUR or whatever. (100 EUR is fine with me if better, but not if

by veidr 11mo ago
Yeah, I already maintain that base layer, and like being able to just run it on Debian, like I said. But, one of the awesome things about Incus is how easy it is to move instances around the LAN (or WAN, I suppose). I don't need super

by veidr 11mo ago
Interesting. I recommend Incus over other hypervisor-oriented OS distributions (Proxmox, etc.), for many reasons, but one minor reason is that you can install it on Debian or Arch or whatever Linux you like. It's a comprehensive manage

The robot control instructions are a digital good. The main reason work visas are required is not to prevent foreigners from doing work, it's to restrict and control their ability to live in the country, send their kids to school, re

FWIW, this is the exact opposite of what my most important advice would be. Don't settle down in your 20s. Your life ends as soon as you have kids. You do get a new life, but it's radically different from the life you had, and n

That doesn't make sense, at all. Why are you allowed to pay a foreign person/company to write software, or marketing copy, or legal documents, or... whatever ? They are doing the work elsewhere, and it would be suicidal for any

Me too, but I know it's not just people shilling, or on the take, because a bunch of people I know personally have moved from Claude Code to Codex, and say it's better. For me, though, it's not remotely close. Codex has fucke

I might have expected $1M/year, not $0.6M/year, just because it sounds cooler, but... OTOH, is there any analogous project that was better supported? Maybe, but I can't think of one...

AFAICT, no. I think it just means "bad, unhelpful output" but isn't fundamentally different in any meaningful way from their super-helpful top-1% outputs. It's kind of qualitatively different from the human perspective,

It is in many ways much like coaching a n00b, but a n00b that can do 10 hours of n00b work in 10 minutes (or, 2 minutes). That's a significant difference. There are a lot of tasks that can be done by a n00b with some advice, especially

I think a lot of the commentary here is missing the main point — while you may not (I mean, certainly do not) need an ultrasonic chef's knife, it's a cool origin story, and the guy has the receipts! Years of iterations of circ

Yes, Orbstack is significantly better than Docker Desktop, and probably also better than any other Docker replacement out there right now (for macOS), if you aren't bothered by the (reasonable) pricing. It costs about $100/year pe
