Anecdotally, it feels like Opus, Fable, and Sol "get distracted" when you use them for writing code. Great at reasoning and coordination but they will go off on a tangent and refactor half the code base. I only use them for reaso

Semaglutide does an incredible job of keeping my autoimmune issues in check. The only side effect I've had is needing to drink more water or else I feel like I've got the flu. Minimal tradeoff IMO

Apple TV is a little worrisome, surprised the A-series devices jumped so much. They're on older lines and have mostly been a way to recoup R&D for flagships. Theyre either subsidizing other products to soften the increase, or older

It was sealed sets, still NIB, not individual pieces. No one would bother selling $200k of loose bricks on consignment.

It's due to fragmentation in implementations. The YAML spec is fairly large, and library authors understandably aren't excited at the prospect of dealing with all the minor details of less commonly used bits, like anchors. You end

Prompted the Jules preview to see what would happen. The implementation is pretty naive - there are much easier to read approaches I can think of. So not _awful_ considering the very short prompt I used. Changes are on this branch for the c

If you use the product filter it only shows laptops that come pre-configured with 2TB of storage. If you choose a custom build you can configure the latest X1 Carbon with 32 GB RAM, 2 TB storage, and a 2.8k display. If you choose the custom

Know some folks who used to work at Genscape. The whole business was selling live power generation data. They mostly accomplished it "hands-off" and without the permission of utilities. If you had property adjacent to a power plan

Everything is either in development or stable. There aren't statuses like alpha, beta, release candidate, etc. except for individual library releases. Metric clients will be marked as "development" until it goes "stable&

Over 50% of the increased prices are from producers not just recouping their additional expenses, but also increasing profit margins. Typically you would expect this to be an opportunity for competition, but generally speaking companies are

Java has really good OTel coverage across tons of libraries. It should mostly Just Work™, though you'll still need to consider sampling strategies, what metrics you actually want to collect, etc. Would say .NET isn't too far behin

Any iPad with a USB-C port supports video capture via UVC. This allows you use devices like the El Gato Cam Link for as a video source. Also, I cofounded a startup eons ago that makes an iOS specifically to do multi-camera video production

Could use an optical sensor like the Timex Datalink watches from the 90s[1] Could set the earrings on a phone screen and transfer the patterns over. Sounds like a fun project. 1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timex_Da

The Mountain Eagle and Appalshop both have no reason to be as good as they are. Consider supporting both!

We've had the same experience. Prime shipments were 5-7 days regardless of order size, now most items show up in 1-2 days. Not sure the logic in that.

You're likely in for a treat if you haven't written C# in a while. The language has evolved quite a bit, especially around all kinds of nice ergonomics. Interesting things like pattern matching, using statements, and performance

Didn't realize it was available in a liquid form like this. I've been buying "child" tablets and breaking the 3mg apart. 10mg is the same as an edible for me, and super unpleasant when trying to rest.

France has sort of done this - they have 56 reactors in operation all based on the same 3 basic designs[1]. It's pretty incredible how quickly the plants were designed, tested, and built. Over a span of 15 years they brought 56 reactor

If it's something reasonable, I don't mind it at all. My GitHub profile is pretty sparse as everything I write is for work. A 30-60 minute skills check is nbd, especially if it's used to understand how I approach problems.

Stripe is still saying they are extending loans via Capital with no change to recent terms they've been offering. Confirmed with our account manager this afternoon, just in case.

Tax varies widely in the US down to a very local level. Sales tax is likely between 0% and 13.5% for a PS5, but there may be localities with higher rates for electronics. It's a mess: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

This is a joy to play with! It's the perfect UX for making this tech more accessible. Everyone in my house has been thinking up silly prompts to see what comes back. Thanks for setting this up.
