I generally set up the rules of engagement for a project in the AGENTS.md file and if it starts to get large break out to more specific files referenced from AGENTS.md to keep the constant per-request token overhead lower. For Python, I hav

For a second I misread that as "The chipmunks at 16X speed" and was seriously confused.

I had a high school friend that was born here in the US but his family were Vietnamese immigrants many many years ago. We'd often hang out at his family's house and they were very welcoming and had a "family" style cook

I strongly suspect that it has had an impact on my insulin sensitivity as well.

My diet consisted mostly of lean meats like chicken and vegetables.

Similar experience here on minimal dose of GLP-1. There is definitely something going on here other than "you are just losing weight and that's really why you are healthier". With my labs at my current weight you can not tel

Replying since I can't edit - he tested it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EzVVj7DFPc

I noticed he does pay attention to feedback on his videos and I think some people have pointed that out.

It's a relatively new channel - but yeah - I feel the guy puts a lot of effort into what he does and deserves more subs.

There is a down to earth guy on YT that performs a series of tests against LLMs running on non-god-tier commodity hardware. He will likely be testing this soon enough. https://www.youtube.com/@lukesdevlab I don't know

I really worry about what happens to Valve as a company after he steps down.

Unless enterprise customers are screaming for MV2 compatibility I would expect Microsoft to make no effort at all to maintain a working MV2 implementation in Edge.

by alyandon 3mo ago
Yeah, once Google has ripped all the MV2 code out of chromium it'll be very interesting to see how long the chromium reskins are able to maintain their private forks. I also expect Google to be a bad actor and do everything in its powe

I turned sample submission off permanently via group policy after catching defender uploading places.sqlite out of my Firefox profile.

I'm not denying that X11 has known security issues. However, I don't tend to run untrusted random gui applications on my system so that factors into the risks I'm willing to accept.

I stick with LTS releases so last honest attempt would have been on a Kubuntu 24.04 LTS system. What is a compositor - thing that actually draws window content on the screen? Whatever KDE provides? Edit: To be fair to KDE/Wayland, th

by alyandon 4mo ago
I empathize but every time I try a Wayland based desktop I always end up encountering weird bugs and corner cases with basic usability that drive me back to X11. I'll be sad if that is still the case when 6.8 rolls around as then I&#x2

I'm pretty much neutral on the whole LLM thing as it has positives and negatives just like most other technologies. If their declaration had been scoped to "don't use LLMs and automated tooling to submit PRs for our packagin

Same here but I'm using a ssh based proxy to avoid having my local ISP data mine my web traffic. Definitely not going to turn it off either to read a blog. I really wish admins banned based on actual behavior instead of IP address !=

Old versions of Netscape Navigator had settings where you could tweak that kind of stuff - I don't recall if IE3/4 did or not. Given the web of the 90s didn't include tons of overly complex javascript most of the settings wer

Back in the ancient days of the web, browsers allowed you to set resource limits (ram, cache, etc) to prevent websites from hogging the limited resources of your desktop system. It's really a shame that all major browsers have since de

It seems that AI-scraping hysteria/paranoia has reached a point that more and more resource sites completely block me without any recourse (e.g. having an account) if my traffic is coming from a datacenter IP. I really wish sites bloc

Since I've dealt with "EE" Java in a previous life, that's actually pretty tame as far as parodies go. I hate the fact I can say that. :-/

As long as there is a financial benefit to lying, there will always be people willing to do so. I personally believe that many of these "influencers" do not believe any of the stuff they spew into the public space.

It instead is a chat where a thousand group chats are open, and no once wants to read any of them. I really wanted to like Zulip and use it as a personal chat service for a small group and it was exactly that feature that made it ba

It does seem like a lot of doctors prescribe GLP-1s without any corresponding education on the dietary changes one should make while on them. A friend of mine's mother was hospitalized briefly because she was basically starving hersel

Another N=1, I've noticed zero impact on my desire to engage in my normal obsessions while on GLP-1. What GLP-1 did (initially) was give me horrible insomnia that peaked a couple of days after taking the injection so I had to time my d

Exactly - the FTDI drivers refusing to work would have been reasonable and emitting a log or error message that my device was counterfeit would have actually been helpful. Instead, they vandalized end user equipment by permanently bricking
