In the few instances that I’ve been able to see a total stranger prompt a model, I learn a lot about them. The model output is fairly uniform because the models are fairly uniform, but the input is how I understand the prompter’s theory o

I’ve seen plenty of humans manage other humans in this low effort way. It’s a bell curve, after all! If a model does something wrong, I don't delete it and rephrase. I explain where it went wrong. I get better results this way!

I went to Amazon the other day and ordered a fully custom piece of software. I chatted with the seller about exactly what I wanted, what areas to focus on, and they ended up teaching me a thing or two about the domain. Very similar emotiona

It is encrypted ciphertext rotated every 10m in lockstep with your Bluetooth identifier. You will need to turn off your Bluetooth if you want to stop advertising a rotating random number. The only difference with the contact tracing is that

Borderline useless? Is it just that the numbers are unit-less? You can extract meaning from them! Find your current computer, find the target computer, calculate the percentage difference. 1000 is 1% better than 990, so it indeed doesn&#x27

On social media in China there is an oft-repeated joke that goes something like this: In other countries, governments intervene to prevent anti-competitive behaviour; here (in China), they intervene to curb competition. https:&#x2F

My girlfriend's Facebook got stolen via a novel technique a few years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/14nbp1a/major_fac... Once the hacker got in, they enabled PGP with a random key

There’s this crazy thing that happens where you need to use carbon to decarbonize. Solar panels are made in factories where energy and inputs are cheaper and then shipped on diesel cargo ships to the rest of the world. Our cars run on gas,

MPEG-TS is used to contain h264 chunks for HLS. MPEG-DASH and the new CMAF standard use fMP4 containers instead. My personal take is that Media over QUIC (MoQ) should support both.

The design is skeuomorphic, modeled after a standard bifold wallet which gives your physical cards the same treatment. My current wallet doesn't give me any affordances: https://grifiti.com/products/grifiti-band-

A prepared `PRAGMA data_version` is likely quite cheap to run because it hits the same page every time… …but some other push-based IPC mechanism would be a lot more battery friendly

Tempted to buy cal.zone or cal.sucks just to add the paid features to cal.diy. They even made a list! Teams, Organizations, Insights, Workflows, SSO/SAML, and other EE-only features have been removed cal.ws is $630 on Namecheap.

You have to install it to enable it, actually! Computer Use is also confined (read and write!) to apps that you've explicitly allowed.

Yes! and if you install Computer Use from the Codex App you can also use it from the Codex CLI

My initial instinct would be that the higher IQ someone is, the better they are able to do most things including control their impulses.

I love it! How would you position yourself relative to existing OSS products in the space like Filestash or Seafile? I'm trying to pick a solution at the moment, and the mobile experience matters a lot to me.

GitHub is free, but the runners are slow and increasingly unreliable. I use Namespace ( https://namespace.so ) and I hook it up both to my personal GitHub as well as my personal Forgejo. I’m in the process of moving from the forme

I would just like to give this a big ol’ +1. I did not like Nix when I started. The ergonomics are hard to get around, but the power is honestly hard to overstate. Coding agents actually help with a lot of the ergonomic issues. If you have

Codex is using its app server protocol to build a nice client/server separation that I enjoy on top of the predictable Rust performance. You can run a codex instance on machine A and connect the TUI to it from machine B. The same open

I think this has been around for a while: $ echo 'test' | xxd -i -n foo unsigned char foo[] = { 0x74, 0x65, 0x73, 0x74, 0x0a }; unsigned int foo_len = 5; (edit: 30 years)

VMWare Fusion is free, even if it is a pain in the butt to download. It also has GPU paravirtualization for Linux/Windows which is the only reason I use a proprietary VMM on macOS these days.

I love that you are allowed to go off about how we are a worse country without fear of jail or shunning or anything like that. You are using your rights properly!
