The lack of greed is wonderful. It makes me think of how many endeavours would have succeeded if the founders and advisors weren't greedy. At least this story shows that the lack of greed didn't improve quality.

I don't like giving away any information what-so-ever in an API key, and would lean towards a UUIDv7 string, just trying to avoid collisions. Even the random hex with checksum component seems overkill to me, either the API key is corre

I'm interested in this as a way to manage a calendar for my mother that is showing early signs of Dementia. If we can centrally manage her bookings and all she has to do is look at the calendar and clearly see what is happening today,

Just today I dumped Windows 11 and moved to Linux, lots to learn but wow, so nice not to be inside their walls.

Get a calculator out and work out the savings on the home page. Accuracy is important if you want people to give you money.

It would be great to see this for each culture around the world, identifying the named colours from their language / culture. I saw a BBC? documentary about this years ago and it showed how some cultures had the ability to clearly iden

If used in power generation, would they open new options? e.g. high RPM, or high torque options over existing generators?

It frustrates me no end when large commercial web sites fail to store state in URLs. It should be updated when the user clicks the 'submit' button of a page, especially when related to searching. Some products have these fancy KQL

With the ever increasing explosion of devices capable of consuming AI services, and internet infrastructure being so ubiquitous that billions of people can use AI... Even if a little of everyone's day consumes AI services, then the inv

My programming productivity has improved a lot with Claude Code. One thing I've noticed is that I don't have a circle of people where I can discus programming with, and having an LLM to answer questions and wireframe up code has b

Incredible work on the CSS and SVG! But liquid glass is such a horrible idea for a UI! Now I feel like an old person, but I live with glasses every day and absolutely love clean UI's. Introducing glass lens f*ckery just for the sake of

I'm a big believer that animations need to validate what you already know, they aren't the information itself. This means, if you turned animations off you would still work as fast and understand the flow the same as if animations

I like this pattern. When an API commits to /v1 it doesn't mean it will deprecate /v1 when /v2 or /v3 come out, it just means we're committing to supporting older URI strategies and responses. /v2 and &#x2

With every technological leap we have pushback, it's natural. I'm sure people complained that hammers were a useless invention and why would anyone not want to keep using rocks.

If knowledge and experience isn't an issue, then LLMs will benefit the programmer less in that space, but are still useful for doing mundane activities you avoid doing, like pivoting an early idea about an API pathing strategy, and hav

Very much so, not sure why, but if it has a limited context history of the conversation, the tone may feel off. It feels physically jarring when it loses the plot with a conversation, like talking to someone who wasn't listening. I&#x2

I get your position, and I don't want to sound dismissive, but when you really learn how to manage an LLM for a complex piece of software far beyond what you have time for, you see the benefits. Try

Well, it takes a while to learn Vim and then get value from it. It also takes a while to learn using an LLM and get value from it. The keys are how to build prompts, ways of working, and guidelines that help the AI stay focused. You end up

I'm having some unique problems with GPT-5 that I've not seen with GPT-4. It seems to lose the thread of the conversation quite abruptly, not really knowing how to answer the next comment in a thread of comments. It's like th

Yeah, maybe you're right. The point that I'm probably missing (and others) is that we associate the phrase 'Vibe Coding' with 'Using an LLM to help with coding' and they're not the same. Maybe the critics

Lets stop calling it Vibe Coding. I'm a heavy user of Claude Code and I use it like a coding assistant. How well you can manage a development team in real life has strong correlations on how much value you get out of an LLM based codin

Have you seen how enterprises write code for internal use? It's no different to vibe coding, except if you ask an LLM to harden your code base to pass a pen test, it will do something. Enterprises just don't give a sh!t.

If that large storage bladder fails, I'm assuming people and animals all around it will suffocate? I wonder if they design in flow channels for the heavier CO2 to flow down to safe, unpopulated areas.

Logging is an exercise in solving problems of future you. We don't log just to have records of everything, we log to solve future questions. I'm working on a system that generates huge numbers of log entries and have settled on a
