Every damn vibe project: “Catchy hook, descriptive explanation”. Like they’ve all got their own marketing team now.

I am on the Claude Max 20x plan, and this still happens when using Fable 5/Opus 5. I would run out of weekly quota in 2 days, whereas Opus 4.8 would last the entire week, and sit at about 80-90% at the end.

I have a 9950X3D and an RTX 4090 in a 10L case (FormD T1). Water cooled but it does get a bit loud when I play games, silent for regular usage.

I put in 2 CAT6 wires to every room in the house (4 in my office, 4 in garage), with one big PoE switch in the garage. Everything with an Ethernet port is wired, wifi is for phones and tablets only (a few UniFi WiFi 6 APS). Works great! Int

Using ASD-STE100 is in my system prompt, not just CLAUDE.md which basically never gets followed. I actually converted it from the PDF into an explicit skill with the word list inline as well as the main rules. Works a little bit, but give i

I mean I do the same at work where we currently use Anthropic, but we are also on a token optimisation drive so it’s getting hard to justify spending even more tokens cleaning up after Anthropic’s garbage by paying Anthropic more. We have

How long will the petrodollar remain a thing with the current diversification of energy sources proceeding apace internationally? Listening to Americans talk about energy and vehicles feels like going back in time, they’re stuck in the past

I’m a heavy LLM user but if someone gives me an AI-voice argument and presents it as their own, I reflexively dismiss everything they say going forward. I can prompt the LLM myself thanks.

And where would we put this? I don’t want to write that out every prompt. CLAUDE.md is a joke, it has little to no effect. Basically, I’ve gone from supporting them to hoping someone else wipes the floor with them.

I canceled my personal Max 20x subscription because since the 5 series models I simply cannot understand what the LLM is saying without a lot of reading and re-reading, and no amount of CLAUDE.md exhortations to speak plainly seemed to fix

As someone who has had to clean up systems that only did a _npm install_ to get compromised, despite being good Renovate citizens, it doesn't matter if it is not "on the production path". I don't care to hear arguments a

Maybe you should stop invading other countries if these comparisons hurt your feelings buddy.

I had to buy an SSD and some RAM to help my son build a PC. The SSD cost 30% more than I paid two years ago and was half the capacity (1TB). The RAM cost double what I paid two years ago, was slower, and was half the capacity (32GB).

Same, hard pass on remote shell as a service that is Node and its ecosystem.

Interesting that they are “dumping” them in Australia and other countries at prices that are competitive but far above what they cost in China. Below cost of production my ass. The only Western car company even competing with them is Tesl

I wonder if similar costs were paid when the West was industrializing? Spoiler: Yes.

Potentially going to sound privileged here, but why not both? Personally when going on the road I like portability (14" MBP or MBA), but at home I want raw non-thermally throttled power.

We have that as well as air-conditioning at the office, so... :)

We started playing as kids, just trying to whack the ball and not getting out. The rest of the jargon and strangeness was absorbed slowly over time until it because natural, like a language. I still can’t explain how it works to my wife.

I hate going to our European offices over summer. It’s 2026 and their concept of climate control is opening the windows or maybe finding a fan somewhere and turning it on. That doesn’t work so well when it’s 40C outside. I wonder when t

1Password? The last year with it has been so bad I canceled our $80 Family subscription and switched to the native Apple one despite its feature gap, because 1Password just couldn’t do its basic job reliably (fill passwords without requirin

Try mentioning AI in a remotely positive light on Mastodon, e.g. just as a side comment about how it let you finally finish a side project or something cool, and you’ll get a wave of neckbeards swarm in to tell you they are blocking you, yo

I know macOS is not considered a gamer platform, but I appreciate enough that he built for macOS too that I purchased a copy! (Speaking as someone who also owns a Windows 11 RTX 4090/9950X3D gaming monster… sometimes I like gaming on m

I run nixOS as well on my home infrastructure (gateway/firewall, a couple of internal servers). But I have had, uh, non-trivial breakages happen also when I upgrade the system itself to the next yearly release. Non-bootable kernel kind

I use Xcode, but just to run the app with Command-R so I can see log messages or stack traces if I need to drop it into the agent for analysis. Everything else is done by Claude Code / Codex. I even read the source using Zed not Xcode

The apparent quality of our pull request messages and documentation is sky high (at least from a language and grammar perspective), but I do miss the days of hand crafted prose, it was easier to tell the low effort crap from the gold.

This is super hard for me as well. I know that a part of why I did so well in programming was being forced to think about what to do and how things worked for so long, and it gave me a lot of stamina to brute force my way through problems.

I grew up in a similar environment, similar trajectory, but in Africa. Dad was a teacher in a rural school, mum stayed at home. Until I went to school I would stay outside all day with my friends, playing in and around the rivers and dams,

Yeah, no joke. For bald people like myself these headphones are unusable once the mesh stretches enough that the metal bands touch your skull. I could go 30 minutes before the discomfort made me have to take it off. No such issue with the W
