Thanks! This is encouraging. I try to use Claude Code for producing client facing presentations that are static html files with charts, tables, and annotations. It never gets the tone correct and phrases things so weirdly - it drives me ma

What exactly makes it proactive? I created a similar system that ran on a ticker, but then could also set itself to run in n seconds in the future. RSI came from the actions available to the system and granting the ability to modify itself

I've done this with the Libre 2 sensor. I added Gemini to it. It gets like 2 weeks of readings at once, and the user can "chat to their data". I added a meals tool as well, where the user can photo their meal, and the ai esti

I never reveal it at work, there are morons out there that have opinions like "I'm starsign x, and if you're y, then we won't get along". It's so frustrating

Has anyone tried buying art from Etsy recently? It's very difficult to find something that is actually original. Etsy is full of super hero Chinese knockoff poor quality shite

Be careful with OKCupid. I'd been using it on and off for a while and recently I got a notification saying that my email address on my account had been changed, then 2 minutes later, that my password had. You don't need to confirm

Weird, I write in Go, and based on the number of posts about Rust, i'd assumed that it was gaining traction

If it's really made out of stainless, with those angles wouldn't it fail on pedestrian collision tests?

Ha! I help out the NHS and they're amazed that we are able to autopopulate forms using ActiveDirectory. They're used to paper...

I write primarily in Go, I have to admit that I can't stand the name of it. When doing a search I constantly have to write "go golang" in my searches to get relevant results. It's too generically named, like naming somet

I'd be interested in your take on this as someone slightly older than the cliched tech employee. To be honest, i'm never usually that impressed with people that are in their mid-20s and working as developers. They can typically pr

This is a good point, one of the reasons to use it is for reminders "Hey Google, remind me to visit x at place y"

I find it difficult to read articles like this, the content itself is very interesting to me, but it's wrapped in creative writing bullshit like this: "I’d step off the bus, route through the CL3 barista in my clanking heels, clut

As a cyclist and a motorcyclist, I love the idea of Glass. Being able to have a HUD that shows your speed and basic directions is a brilliant tool. You don't have many options for mounting your phone on the handlebar, and doing so requ

I know an analyst at SnapChat, it's not a well managed company at all apparently. The way it was described to me was that a manager of a very popular lemonade stand suddenly is put in charge of Pepsi. They have very talented engineers,

Seriously don't. I have a 2013 MBP that's my own, then a 2018 MBP that's my work machine. I alternate between working on both and I can't stand the '18's keyboard, it feels similar to typing on mouse buttons, t

I was a SQL/Tableau analyst and a SF Admin before I turn to software engineering. SF is truly a fantastic piece of shit to do any proper development for. I am so glad i've stepped away from it. It has been built with the idea to s

In response to this the British police have recently changed the law allowing them to chase and hit motorcyclists with their cars. Last year, the gangs would ride scooters without wearing a helmet. This would mean that the police weren&#x27
