   I was using GPT 5.5 for a bunch of work this morning. It's brilliant and efficient. I was also using GPT 5.4 mini. It gets the job done and works great for subtasks that 5.5 designs. Gemini 3.5 Flash is SUCH a Gemini. It seems to work

   Ugh, the slop. "That's not a benchmark row. That's a story."

   If there's limited hardware but ample cash, it doesn't make sense to sell compute-intensive services to the public while you're still trying to push the frontier of capability.

   5.3 Codex is $1.75/$14, and 5.4 is $2.50/$15.

   Same. On the tip of main, at least, I can open the command palette and choose reset to bring it back to life. I set a keybinding for reset to skip the command palette.

   I actually don't understand what I'm missing. I'm using two old monitors, a 27" at 2560x1440 and a 23.5" at 1920x1080 (in addition to my high DPI Framework 13 screen). How else can I get at least 4480 across (after

   This could be worse, too. With more machines being identical, the same security hole reliably shows up everywhere (albeit not necessarily at the same time). Sometimes the heterogeny impedes attackers.

   I switched to Helix 2 years ago after 28 years of emacs and didn't look back. My emacs config was huge, and I didn't enjoy all the tweaking I was doing to get LSPs to work the way I wanted. I had tried evil mode (and vile before t

   The US defense budget, as a percentage of GDP, has been cut a huge amount! https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ms.mil.xpnd.gd.zs?locat... If you don't think it makes sense to scale it by GDP (though I do), then i

    This sounds similar to Horton Hears a Who.

    I think you can fix this with the setting "Click items to autofill on Vault view".

    I never understood why calories in == calories out was relevant when we can't know how many unprocessed calories are remaining undigested. Here's what the bots had to say: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/weig

    I've been using it for a month or two on top of my work git repos. It's great, but I have a few complaints. It doesn't support creating git tags, it doesn't support git submodules, and if you ever drop a big file in your

    I had a boss who was pretty excited about CueCat. It's funny that it took another 15 years to catch on as smartphones and QR codes!

    I used it in a situation where replacing Python code with a C-implemented module was not efficient because there were too many small objects being marshaled in and out of PyObjects. PyPy let everything stay in Python-land and still run quic

    Your reference says that's an "Urban Place" and that "Urban Areas" are bigger. The post you responded to linked to something that said 220 million live in 486 "urbanized areas". Since there are many more t

    No, I know more defense would be easy. I'd love to try other stuff, though. There's so much out there to learn, and it's more fun to do things that push me.

    I think it must be limiting what you can see to connections if you're not a subscriber to the LinkedIn service. That's all in there!

    Well, the technologies I've used are all over the place, but the niche is defense contracting. Until now, I don't think I realized that processing lots of data really fast locally (i.e., not in the cloud) wasn't more generall

    Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I'll de-emphasize the remote focus, since I'm close enough to NYC that I'm willing to split my time.

    Oh, I'm informed. But that doesn't make experience. And neither does a side project, really. And what side project needs cloud scale? The meet-up is a good idea.

    Is that an offer? :) https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimhunziker/ One hit was for making machine guns target humans better. (I rejected the in-person interview.) Another dropped me because they wanted cloud experience
