   "... I don't enjoy reviewing AI-generated PRs. Poring over hundreds of lines of overly-defensive, badly-commented, subtly incorrect code is not fun. I might grudgingly do it for an employer—while making sure said employer becomes

   I kept hearing about meditation. And at one point I tried it. With one app that was given to me for free through my employer's benefits. It had a counter of your current uninterrupted streak. (Meditating every day) I kept at it. First

   I also recently got JBD2 compliant driver merged into GNU HURD's ext2, and I'm now improving documentation, and things like that. Here is the repo where the work was happening: https://github.com/mnikic/hurd-j

   Yeah, perhaps its due to noone wants LLMs trained on their data for free. I don't know, at least for reddit there are still ways to get the data for free.

   Scraping. I applied for the token but never heard back. Reddit doesn't want new devs working on it.

   I am working on a reddit lead generator that pings you when someone wants a product like yours in real time, and It does so only when the intent is high. Was using this only for my self, but i think it might be interesting for other people

   But as someone who sells Reddit leads, i can tell you first hand that Reddis has gotten more hostile to these kinds of self promotion as of late. Here is a nice write up from one of my competitors: ( https://www.reddit.com/r&

   Yeah, but he says customers 4-10, not the first and the second the third, he says use personal network for that, right?

   I guess I am very atypical. My first customer came from Reddit outreach, and also my second, and third and so on. None came from personal network (never really even tried that, maybe i should) I know its going to stop being so effective at

    Yeah I don't really use desktop systems any more. I just use a window manager and a few other things, and I'm happy with it

    I heard from Ed Zitron that you can't really turn off "training" on these models even after they have been released because they need continuous re-training to keep up with the changes in the world and the language etc. Is t

    FWIW I now use i3wm and some custom log off screen and rofi and ST and I am happy with it.

    Oh yeah, maybe 15-20 years ago, i started by Linux journey with Kubuntu, just because i loved how KDE looked, much better than the alternatives. Sadly it was not difficult to encounter a bug at that time, so i gave up on it quickly. I wonde

    That is a good question, and I got to say i do not know the answer. From what i have seen Hurd's goals is to actually end up using Rump kernels for a lot of things, and i think that there is a Rump version of a file system that they m

    I recently got this merged upstream and wanted to share the repository. Bolting a JBD2 WAL onto Gnu Hurd was an interesting learning experience

    Also I had a redis clone from before, but with AI i separated the epoll layer from the actual database engine which made it sort of embeddable. And hooked that embeddable database into a JNI interface, and now it can run inside Android app

    Looking into twitter right now, it seems like the way to do it is with headless browsers, but they usually cost money. For reddit there used to be the json endpoints that you could just fetch, and you can batch your subreddits, so its nice
