This should be the gameplay in Civilization, instead of the thing where you train and archaeologist who goes to excavate magically known locations. Excavation of tunnels and such should just come with a chance of finding artifacts, but it o

Given that horses regularly eat grass and hay, oats are comparatively one of the most calorie dense foods they eat.

Why did Alex Honnold climb Taipei 101 when he could just take the elevator? I know the analogy is not perfect but it's the kind of project that wasn't feasible for a single dev before LLMs so now it just seems like a fun thing to

This is the opposite of my experience. Safeway is usually the most expensive, more than the Kroger/Albertsons chains. The only place that competed with Walmart on price for me was WinCo.

Yeah that makes sense but if growth dictates another tunnel... And it takes another 60 years, your capital expense starts to look a lot like an operating expense. Not to mention one of the big stated purposes of this tunnel is actually to f

Ignoring the obvious contradictory nature of the post (a trip to a place that is generally so expensive and time consuming that only the wealthy leisure class can access it yields polite people), what is the alternative to the fast news cyc

My immediate thought is at what point does desalination tech + clean energy reach the crossover where building a 60 mile tunnel over 60 years not make sense? It feels like very soon, and coastal cities can stop relying on hinterland reservo

Here's a quote I got for a solar install in the Philippines this week: 51.2v 314ah cells (15kwh battery) 16x 580-590w solar panel Installed for 310k PHP = $5,275 I've also specced out 15-16kwh batteries using the Yxiang design for

The problem is lack of information at time of purchase, in both cases. It's so onerous to figure out what these products are doing that people give up. Same in the airline case. If any of the airlines actually provided better servic

It's pretty easy to blame the litigant here. Without one, the courses would still be up.

Now someone tell me the equivalent of P.G. Wodehouse and I'll check it out. Wodehouse feels like the lighthearted successor of Austen, focused more on the comedy and farcical plots, than serious romance. Funny enough, I started readi

Pretty simple really, we're basically all [1] addicted to smartphones, so we basically all [1] advocated for this. After all, to admit it was a problem for our kids, we'd have to also admit it could be a problem for ourselves. Eve

Both honestly. For the guy who wrote it, it was comedy. But people do live like this. It just doesn't usually end all that well for them.

Yes, I don't rebase, I only merge. We squash commits on merge of MR/PR anyway, so there is no value to rebase for us AFAICT. It also removes a ton of gnarly situations you can find yourself in when you mess up a rebase somehow.

The right solution here is to take the telecom tax invoice, edit it in a PDF editor to say Telecom bill, and send it back. The process is stupid enough that this will work 95% of the time. Is it fraud? No, not really, I'd argue. You

The way you describe the transition events elides the incredible instability that people living through them experienced (wars, revolutions, famines, etc.), which I think is what Stross is getting at here, and ultimately is probably right a

Is there any more information about the Eureka educational project? I think it's probably the wrong endpoint to target teaching about AI first (too complex, too many pre-reqs), really these tools should work from the base of the educa

I was nodding along until the bashing of neoliberalism, which I believe to be unfounded left-woo essentially. If we were to apply neoliberalism a bit more in the present moment, we may be much better off, but that's not what the curren

It's funny considering what people are telling me about the rampant cheating in that game. May settle out eventually but these anti cheat systems seem to not do much.

Not if the windows are both from the same program. Then it's a different keybind, CMD-~ which doesn't have the same priority order style as CMD-Tab. I get caught up on this constantly, to the point where I decided to stop using

I used Teams just before Covid (last job I had used it). For one messages didn't arrive in the same order for everyone, so chat histories often didn't make sense, with replies appearing above the messages they were replying to.

I got tired of paying the Logitech premium for the MX Ergo after I broke my second one (both out of warranty, both had the main button switch fail). Ended up with a copycat that works just as well and is 1/3rd the price.

> I'm currently getting Claude Code to pair program with GPT-5 and they delegate the file edits to Gemini Flash. It's pretty cool. This sounds cool, any more details or any write up on how to do something like this?

I like my Coros Pace 2, it's round and looks like a normal watch, instead of the rounded rectangle/square slab of glass that was popularized by Apple Watch, an aesthetic I find terrible.

I call this genre of article "I'm too lazy to think about how to deal with the fact that LLMs are sometimes wrong, especially when they aren't using thinking and are given short, leading prompts." Ok great! For those of

Did you compare to Cursor? We gave up on Copilot a while back after Cursor blew us away. In the context of this article though, Cursor is very obviously tuned better towards Claude than OpenAI in my experience.

This is interesting to me for the reason of having a way to interact with social media that isn't loading a social media feed. It would be great to put this on my blog and then have people able to comment on it, and basically the only

The existence of 10x engineers is something no one believes until they meet one, and they are extremely rare so I can believe many people have never met one. The co-founder of a company I worked at was one for a period (he is not a 10xer an
