> Livestock: ~730 billion gal This is a good illustration how cursed the datacenter topic has become when people go out of their minds on computer cooling while continuing to eat meat which lets be perfectly clear - is mostly for enterta

You could argue that you don't care what Claude does after work hours as long as it works your hours as you expect it to. Grok clearly failed the latter.

This complaint should be aimed at operating system developers who should have never allow such infringement to begin with.

This is why pocket computers are still so unserious. My programs should not be aware let alone respond to my administrative actions like screenshots.

One obvious app I tried to build here is a calendar with a daily message and I've tried to include a little graphic emoji with each day. You can't do that because you can only fit around 100 emoji graphics and the font on Pebble T

I've been really enjoying the reboot of Pebble with their new Time 2 for a few months now. I'm using ForecastWatch 2 watch face which crams calendar, watch and weather data into one screen and it's perfect. Lasts weeks on cha

Barry Marshall's story is so iconic that I read it every time despite knowing it very well. That being said one claim here would be that allowing self-experimentation would pressure people into self experimenting due to how our academi

I feel like I have to call out Zed for still having completely broken LLM support in almost entire continent of Asia for over a year now with no official response¹ just because they can't route http requests. Bad look for their LLM wor

Just yesterday it lost my git stash (I had recovered it from a backup). I think for code operations it's ok but as soon as file removal is involved (like git) the auto mode is destined to make a mistake and you only need to learn this

I think you answered the problem in the 2nd paragraph yourself - then why are we breaking LLMs and not the owners? We are capable of organizing our society more like a scalpel than a hammer. We can keep LLMs and have them work for all of us

I just bought a refurbished Lenovo k14 with 32gb of ram and Corei7-1165G7 with 500gb for 350$ which I'll use as my 2nd home server. My first home server is a 2nd hand gaming PC that I bought for 500$ with 32gb and 7700rx video card tha

You're missing my point entirely. To counter you music example - grinding the same chord over and over does not make you a better musician more than watching youtube videos of other people playing. Skill growth is not as simple as it i

> all it needs is a prerecorded message asking that question and if the caller presses a button it continues. This actually seems better with very little overhead. I'd very much prefer hearing a human recording than AI bot.

This is not necessarily true if you spend more than 2 seconds thinking about it. If I'm raking leaves all day I eventually reach diminishing returns. My arms might even start to get tired and actually make me lose skill. Now I got a le

material =/= information. Are we supposed to live in a world where if I'm crossing a border I must give access to all of my information? That's absurd and more equivalent to a full brain/memory scan than a suitcase searc
