It's my first time hearing about Gastown and Wheelhouse. Gastown seems to be open source, but Wheelhouse seems to be closed source and used by one person only? https://yegge.ai/essays/the-shape-of-things-to-come&#x

I'm using Gitea itself as my coding agent interface. I simply tag @codex or @claude on an issue and ask it to open a pull request. Or ask it to reply back on a comment thread, etc. The Gitea interface is already a pretty good interface

> Is there only one consciousness in the universe, or multiple? This sounds similar to the "how do you know you're not dreaming?" question. When you are in a dream, you really are the only single conciousness of that world

I remember being amazed when I saw this as a kid and told everyone I had seen a "rainbow around the sun". I've never seen it again in person. Maybe I've learned not to stare in the direction of the sun. But thank you for

Is satellite internet going to become a crowded space that no other company can ever hope to enter due to skies becoming literally overcrowded with sattelites? Seems like a somewhat unfair winner takes all scenario.

Does everyone's phone compass just work reliably? For me, it seems like the most unreliable part of navigation. I traveled to Italy recently and heavily used Google Maps with walking directions, and it was frustrating the number of tim

I suppose you're correct. Even if you find a trivial congruence, you do get some information. Mainly: "It's not that one!" :) The same information as trying two bases that don't form a quadratic congruence at all

If: a^2 = b^2 (mod m) Then: a^2 - b^2 = 0 (mod m) (a + b)(a - b) = 0 (mod m) So, (a + b) must be a multiple of one of the factors of m. And (a - b) must be a multiple of the other factor of m. > I've often wondered what each congru

It is my go-to vector editor as well. But a large pain point is that text elements cannot be vectorized or converted to paths or shapes. So your designs cannot be exported meaningfully because there is no guarantee that the receiving end wi
