Counterpoint - the two major Australian supermarkets both sell in-store “finished” cookies that are like crack. They’re delicious. They come in a pack of 5 for $3.50 but 5 is way too much. I’d gladly pay $1 each for them as a snack while I’

Meh, I enjoyed reading it. I could be LLM-assisted but also I have a bunch of younger devs on my team who do actually write like this You’re welcome to not like the article, and it can even be LLM-assisted, but that doesn’t mean it’s slop

Naive question, but isn’t every output token generated in roughly the same, non-deterministic, way? Even if it uses its actual history as context, couldn’t the output still be incorrect? Not trolling, asking as a regular user

Giving the benefit of the doubt, could it be being used as a translation tool?

This is a great project! I like and use Wayland but the portal protocols and extension mechanism does leave a lot to be desired. Wayland is still quite a way behind Windows and macOS in terms of what productivity users need An X11 rewrite w

I use Firefox personally, where do people who care about privacy go? For those of you who’ve already given up on Firefox (I can understand why..), where did you go?

> If an individual site took on the infra challenges themselves, would they achieve better? I don’t think so. The point is that it doesn’t matter. A single site going down has a very small chance of impacting a large number of users. Clo

Definitely fair but for the candidate considering this, it's a numbers game. They're just looking to get their foot in the door for a new career path. You care, and you're right to care, but there will be others who don'

Mac only but if you want a local only version of this (which has been mentioned in other comments), Dayflow[1] looks decent. I think I'd actually love something like this but can't quite bring myself to run it.. even with local mo

If you're a normal person in a country that Cloudflare considers "scammy" - your internet experience is very different from someone based in the US. Your personal online behaviour is irrelevant

I kind of think this is correct but not for the reason you think. To most engineers, users are the annoying thing on the other end of a ticket. They “don’t know how to use the product properly”. I’ve also had great success dropping engineer
