Same here. And I was seriously impressed with how much noise cancelling the v4 can do. I will be seriously impressed again if the v5 is as much better as they claim.

The price is so reasonable, I think the risk is that you’re paying mainly with your data?

Perhaps not if the one framework we ended up with was a good one …

I mean, there's certainly silly money involved, but there's surely no credible doubt that AI is already really good at many valuable tasks . So if there's a crash, doesn't that just leave us with a bunch of useful AI ha

https://printervention.app (also co-written by Claude) may be useful in similar cases.

Yes — configuring strongSwan as a bog-standard VPN server was so hard to fathom I made GitHub repo for it [1]. To be fair, some of the complexity comes from OS support that seems specifically designed to make secure setups difficult, presum

I've found Opus 4.8 pretty amazing, and Codex a bit meh. YMMV?

I mean, that's fair. To an extent it depends how high the stakes are and whether there are realistic alternatives to a service.

I have plenty of ability to read, but I never read these T&Cs because they’re usually dozens of pages long and life’s too short (or, if you prefer, the cost/benefit doesn’t support it). For consumers in Europe, at least, it’s usual

(It's a double-press, which I think of as one action but I guess it's technically two button presses, because I believe the EU mandates that)

Renault have nailed this. In their latest cars (the EVs, at least) you set up which features you do and don’t want, then a single button press when you get in the car makes it so. Some of their implementations, such as lane keeping, are goo

There's a middle ground between ORMs and raw SQL, especially if you're using a strongly typed language. My library Zapatos[1] is one example among several. [1] https://jawj.github.io/zapatos/

Basically: you can't teach people to think without giving them some facts and ideas to think with. It's like trying to teach woodworking without giving the students any wood.

Which is generally slower than Googling, because it's paged content in a terminal which can search only for literal strings?

Practically speaking, yes: I have a Renault EV and the battery % goes up on long descents.

It’s interesting that EESMs can be more efficient at high/highway speeds, and it’s something I had read before. This seems to me to be a key advantage of EESMs, because when people worry about EV range, they worry mainly about range on

No, it's an immigration restriction. There's no way it applies if the Swiss start having 5 kids each.

Are you trying to claim that American private healthcare is anything other than a giant shitshow of inefficiency, profiteering and death?

My monetization idea doesn't involve charging users, and it's more on the printing side (but most of the source is shared with scanning).

That is super helpful (I may well use it myself). But I guess a web app probably reaches some non-technical users that CLI tools don't.

There’s separately a /credits page where I’ve done that, linked from the footer. Perhaps I should link it from the apology too. Tell me if you think I’ve not shared what I have to.

If you think I’ve done something wrong according to the licences involved here, please do clarify. I had understood that open-sourcing the Linux stuff (as branches of a fork of v86, linked from the /credits page) met all relevant legal

Do you really find you can reliably sustain your full attention that long? My EV can do 3 – 5 hours on the motorway between charges (depending on weather conditions and speed), but to avoid fatigue I always want a break within 3 hours or so
