Generally the claude jargon is valid jargon I’ve seen real people use, it just uses jargon so much more often than a human would. And because it has particular jargon it likes, and claude is widely used, you see so much of that particular

Yeh, I'm having some issues from the UK. Looks like we're not just imagining it: https://fastmailstatus.com/cmt928hrt00gr0lqvevgyimt6

I think by "dangerous" they include things like "makes an edit to a config file outside the current project", not just "wipes the production database". So "dangerous" commands just means things we sh

I changed from cursor to claude code a couple of weeks ago and this is the biggest difference I've noticed. cursor very rarely had to ask for permission for a command because it almost always used builtin find/read/edit tool

sed can be used to edit files (with the -i option). Not sure how this interacts with piping to its STDIN, but I wouldn't automatically assume `grep | sed` is safe. I was thinking about this the other day, standard UNIX utilities seem

Even for extended workloads, a Pi 5 without a heatsink is still a hell of a lot faster than a Pi 4. And as sibling says, most users appreciate bursty speed while not doing prelonged compute (see also fanless laptops). (Disclaimer, I work f

You could say almost the same about Gorillaz except for the AI part.

I had that style of integrated panels installed on my (Victorian) house in the UK. The slates were old and crumbling so needed replacing and doing integrated panels meant only needing a fraction as much slate which saved a chunk of money.

To look at it another way, just because some code I work on at my job is derived from open source MIT-licensed code doesn't mean I personally have the right to distribute it if my company doesn't want me to. I'd guess this c

It'll be the same as larger inverters for roof-top solar - they are constantly monitoring the mains cycle and will shut off if the voltage (or probably frequency too?) goes out of range, let alone drops out entirely. The relevant stan

Two advantages for me: It's nice that you don't break the connector if you trip over the cable or put the laptop down on a soft surface, and it's nice being able to charge while still using both USB-C ports (although I guess

Isn't this exactly the same as flexoptix and FS have been doing for years?

The trick with neutral in the leaf is that you have to hold the gear selector in the neutral direction for about a second. No relation to brake pedal timing as far as I can tell. No idea why neutral has that delay given none of the other

One random preprint I found ( https://arxiv.org/html/2505.09598v2 ) estimates inference is 90% of the total energy usage. From some googling around, everything seems to agree that inference dominates (or is at least com

I have a load of these shell aliases as I spend a frankly ridiculous amount of time messing with git. `g` is `git status`, `d` is `git diff`, `gad` is `git add`, `ds` is `git diff --staged`, `gg` is `git grep`, `gbv` is `git branch -va`

Compared to the amount of code that people compile and the number of bugs seen and fixed in that code, that is a tiny number of bugs. I wouldn't say it's "never" a compiler error but when you find a bug in your program,

Yep, for me the reason to go with Hue is that the bulbs have good CRI, good colors, and the colors match between all the different types of fixtures. I've also not had a single Hue bulb fail in the 6 years I've been using them.

There is quite a bit of variation between SD cards, browser taking several seconds is surprisingly bad. On Pi 4 I use a 2.5" SATA SSD (WD blue) on a startech USB3 adaptor and the performance seems to me much better than even good quali

In some places it sounds like the ONT is integrated with the router (like with DOCSIS), and being forced to use the ISP’s router is a problem. But in cases where the ONT just looks like a media converter and you have a separate router I rea

If that’s the argument against, it could just be denied by default and require the user to go into settings to allow. The annoyance isn’t too bad given webserial is probably only used on occasion, and it means no concerns about consent spam
