I thought that was related to the insecticides/herbicides, not soil itself.

I use them. The top 3 models still write terrible code, regardless of harness. They’ll litter the code with safety checks for scenarios we’ve already guaranteed won’t happen. And they’ll solve problems you didn’t ask them to, and they’ll co

Tangentially related, but Astra generated some of the worst Odin code I’ve ever seen. Turns out AGI is indistinguishable from an Oracle subcontractor who hates tech and hates his job.

Hm. HTML, maybe. CSS and JS? No way. View the CSS here sometime: https://a.singlediv.com/

It’s in loads of things. Peanuts, spinach, beans, chocolate, avocados, corn, soy… the list is endless. If someone is really sensitive, they can have problems with high oxalate foods. Some people seem to accumulate oxalates, meaning their pr

I’m happy with Brave’s ad blocker. That said, I use Firefox on my desktop machines. It’s a great browser.

I run Niri and Dank Material Sell on Fedora. It’s perfect, and better than Omarchy from what I’ve seen. I much prefer scrolling window managers to tilers.

Is that the case? It seems to me that the people who cared about Snowden are basically the same people who care about Flock. Most of the people I know who didn't like Snowden also don't seem to care about Snowden. I do find it int

Oh. Interesting. I’m the same. Are those flashbacks actually a real thing people experience? I had also assumed it was just movie gimmicks.

I don’t see anything, but I also wonder if this is semantics, and we are all describing the same phenomena with different language.

Yeah. I see this estimate as either A) hot air (my serious take), or B) a dire warning of out of control inflation, or C) a prediction that they'll be a going concern in 500 years when $30T is in fact an average corporate revenue figur

> now we will never have better stuff. I disagree. Some of us love tinkering and learning and experimenting. AI can help with that. People like us will always do it. Hobbyist will continue to innovate even if others don’t.

To be fair, the discussions here are usually more informative than the articles.

It’s not better than codex / GPT in my experience. But it’s quite good. I’d say it’s useful and fast and with Cursor CLI is pretty capable with good limits for just $20 /mo. But Codex $100 plan is hard to beat.

It’s trivially easy to run a TUI in a container. Not so much with GUIs. And, since I run as much as possible in containers, and as little as possible on my host machine, I much prefer TUIs.

For me, I realized how insufferable my smart friends were, and I looked at people who I admired and whose company I enjoyed, and I realized humility was a key trait among the people I liked best. I’m still insufferable, though, but hopefull

Display port. Most monitors support it.

If you’re talking about internet clients, I think the real world provides sufficient jitter. If you’re talking about a fleet of clients on your 10gbps network, jitter might be useful.

I'm using it, though I'm leery of how the project is run. It's been great, to be honest. I have been able to build very low-dependency projects quite quickly. Bun's documentation is decent, and its underlying features ar

Unlimited full-access to one of the best LLMs / agents on the market, and 80 hour work weeks probably.

Rust seems barely better than Node in this regard. Go or .Net or anything with a robust standard library seems like the way to go for most projects.

Well, those people would be opposed to using spellcheck and grammar tools, too, I guess. I don’t think there’s a reasonable argument against using AI to spellcheck/check your grammar other than that it’s hugely inefficient.

Have you used their CLI? I run everything in VMs or containers to prevent access to things on my host.

I moved a while back when Claude started refusing to do security audits and also failed to run properly in my sandbox without a lot of wrangling. Renamed Claude.md to agents.md and had no problems at all. There’s almost 0 switching cost.

I just run it in dangerous / yolo mode in my own sandbox. Works great and no more nagging.

Not sure what Antigravity is, but Sol is good at sysadmin tasks.

by christophilus 29d ago
Yeah. Same. Deepseek Flash goes a long way, but it’s not capable enough for many tasks, so I end up defaulting to my Codex sub and just use Sol.

My friends in the cattle industry told me that one of Bill Gates’s companies is buying up pasture land and driving up prices across the midwest, too. I don’t know exactly how you’d legally prevent it, but it does seem like a problem.

I never did. I did wait eagerly for new .NET releases, though.
