Recently bothered by the Amazon Alexa for Shopping thing that slides out constantly and can’t be turned off, I found this Chrome extension. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adios-alexa-for-sho...

Cloudflare could be the end of the open web and it seems crazy that more people aren’t worried about this. Turnstile everywhere + device attestation required is the direction this all seems to be headed. Because of all the AI bots of course

I wonder how much similarity there is between this and what people describe from awakening experiences.

The plastic parts almost definitely, but this seems like it has a couple springs and hinges that make it more of a pain.

I’m just gonna take this chance to drop a rec for Joe Hudson’s work for anyine interested in learning more about emotions and how to work with them in yourself and others. It’s been super impactful for me. (YouTube/podcast) On this poi

Handy is great. It exposes a bunch of open models beyond Whipser too, and though I haven’t tried too many of them, I’ll throw in a rec for the Parakeet model which feels pretty much on par with Whisper for accuracy and is way way faster.

As a solo dev, I’ve found myself spinning up little servers for various things and then just letting them run for months between needing to make changes. At first (and for admittedly way too long), I used this as a way to try out fun new fr

I resonate with a bunch of this. The idea that what I make is somehow not as good as the “real” version of whatever it is (where “real” is hard to define, but roughly just, always better than what I made). You mention the emotional neglect

I was connected to a VPN and saw the same. Went away once I disconnected. (Must say I'm not a fan of how, increasingly, taking any steps to preserve privacy is seen as deviant, or justified because bots )

Yeah, forgot when I wrote this comment that the thing about keychain was to pass that auth token into a Docker container, which I gave up on (Tauri desktop app needs to compile Rust and link against other stuff, different architecture insid

The Claude Code client adds system prompts and makes a bunch of calls to analytics/telemetry endpoints so it's certainly feasible for them to tell, if they inspect the content of the requests and do any correlation between those

I went down this rabbit hole a bit recently trying to use claude inside fence[0] and it seems that on macOS, claude stores this token inside Keychain. I'm not sure there's a way to expose that to a container... my guess would be n

This look nice! I was curious about being allowed to use a Claude Pro/Max subscription vs an API key, since there's been so much buzz about that lately, so I went looking for a solid answer. Thankfully the official Agent SDK Quick

Interesting about the level of detail. I’ve noticed that myself but I haven’t done much to address it yet. I can imagine some ideas (ask it for more detail, ask it to make a smaller plan and add detail to that) but I’m curious if you have a

I concur, also with no benchmarks to share, but I had the experience of rewriting a video editor timeline to use WebGL instead of the 2D canvas I started with and it got much faster. Like being able to draw 10k+ rectangles at 60fps became e

With their tagline being “video for developers”, isn’t this their whole thing? It seems like another service would be a better fit if having a management UI is a requirement.

So I’m probably in a similar spot - I mostly prompt-and-check, unless it’s a throwaway script or something, and even then I give it a quick glance. One thing that stands out in your steps and that I’ve noticed myself- yeah, by prompt 10, it

That looks so ridiculous that it has me wondering how hard of a technical change it would’ve been to change that drag target, and if they just punted on it.

Is it possible for Ghostty to figure out how much memory its child processes (or tabs) are using? If so maybe it would help to surface this number on or near the tab itself, similar to how Chrome started doing this if you hover over a tab.

In many cases today “gif” is a misnomer anyway and mp4 is a better choice. Not always, not everywhere supports actual video. But one case I see often: If you’re making a website with an animated gif that’s actually a .gif file, try it as an

I had kinda suspected this just based on my own experience of paper vs screen, but hadn’t run across any research. After seeing your comment I went looking! I found this interesting: https://phys.org/news/2024-02-screen

The situation on Windows got remarkably better and cheaper recently-ish with the addition of Azure code signing. Instead of hundreds or thousands for a cert it’s $10/month, if you meet the requirements (I think the business must have e

Not quite a blooper but I thought it was neat: I searched Kagi for “veterans day 2025” the other day (on Veterans Day, when I was unsure) and it answered “= today”

And moreover, money. Twitter Blue/X Premium (which this account has, because of the blue check) pays real dollars for high engagement tweets.

I’m coming to see the root is usually some kind of avoidance, always emotional, often subtle. I think this actually is pretty universal but the specifics vary wildly. It’s taken a while to unpack this. For a long time, when I’d about of a t

And it’s amazing that this got built in only 3 years! I can’t imagine anything this substantial being built that fast in the US. I can’t think of any examples either but I’d be happy to see some that anyone knows of.

This article reminded me of a talk I gave a couple times that went very smoothly because I pre-recorded the typing parts. Something like this: - record the screen as you type out all of your code as you would do live - don't need the a
