We seem to be reaching a point where the use of formatting and the odd rhetorical flourish gets you accused of AI-generated writing. Sad.

I had the opposite experience when Gemini 3.1 first came out. It didn't show up as a model option in my fully updated Gemini CLI, and I subsequently figured out I had to install this Cursor-lookalike thing called Antigravity to try it.

I'd agree with sph about having one workspace per activity. I've never had a rigid workflow with lots of permanent named workspaces, but I have a workspace-naming script that lets me label my numbered workspaces after they've

I switched to Niri at the end of last year after over a decade on i3.[1] Having horizontal scroll unbounded by my monitor size and workspace count unbound by the number of shortcut keys I have configured has been very freeing, and the graph

>LLMs are not doing searches, they are doing statistical computation of likely results. This was true of ChatGPT in 2022, but any modern platform that advertises a "deep research" feature provides its LLMs with tools to actuall

In my last conversation with a Google support person, I was sent a clearly LLM-generated recommendation to switch to a competitor's product. Either they're not doing this, or the support person wasn't using Gemini.

ChatGPT's image generator has been able to do this since last year. That NBP still can't is baffling. They should at least train it to respond to requests for transparency with a solid colour pink background.

Interesting read! A lot of AoC challenges involve navigating 2D grids, which can map quite nicely onto the text adventure model of connected rooms with compass direction exits (a grid of straightforward little passages, all alike). This ins

I'm trying to complete each challenge in a different language. I've written up the first five days on my blog[1]. Have completed a few more than just these, but I don't know that I'll get all of them done by Christmas. [

Congratulations on the achievement. I recently hit my 10 year blogging milestone.[1] I've also written about some similar thoughts to those in your linked "Content is King" post.[2] Long may the individualist personal website

I wrote a short blog post[1] about this pattern a few years ago. I still don't understand why so many apps use this workflow, especially ones that previously didn't. Just let me deal with the project creation stuff on the first wr

I used my Priv for five years, best phone I've ever had, barring some battery & heat issues. Showing people a normal-looking phone and then sliding out the keyboard was a fun party trick. If there were any modern phone like it I wo

I think the lockdown concept as implemented in 2020 was a great illustration of the problem of scale. It's trivially true that if you as an individual avoid all contact with others during a flu season, you won't catch the flu. You

Later on the article, when he talks about not needing access to the receiving account to confirm payments, I kinda got it. Just the initial framing of "what if we used bank transfers for payments" threw me for a loop.

As a South African, it's weird seeing this presented as a strange/futuristic idea. I pay most of my bills through bank transfers and it's the standard way for two people with bank accounts to send money to each other. As long

I used a cellphone holster for years as a teen because one came with my first BlackBerry. I think I only stopped once I got my first touchscreen phone in a modern form factor that didn't fit my holster. Had some tense moments at a coup

I've seen a fair bit of this with Firebase apps, where devs don't write enough rules, or have collections that mix non-sensitive and sensitive fields. It's tricky, because the whole query-the-database-from-JavaScript model ca
