   So happy to see that the comments so far are just Burning Man hate. I appreciate SomaFM's impact on my appreciation for electronic music and alternative music streaming services back in the '90s, but outside of that I'm prett

   I used to maintain a project called LikeBuster back when Facebook started polluting your news feed with people's likes in. It was a lesson in how brittle DOM-based filtering was. Makes me miss times when a few well-placed CSS selectors

   I've done this before as a free replacement for my OpenClaw bot. It loses its connection sometimes and you need to redo the handoff with your phone. But otherwise, nice to have a use for my old Mac. It's also running my Home Bridg

    I'm having more problems with Firefox 150 than I have had with any other browser update in years. I think I might be the only one though?

    I absolutely love JG Ballard. Crash is a classic, and High Rise is a fun one.

    I used https://github.com/Kevjade/migrate-openclaw , and then started running Claude Code with remote exec against an empty folder that I've advised it to start adding new memories into. So far, my bot's perso

    My OpenClaw assistant (who's been using Claude) lost all his personality over the last week, and couldn't figure out how to do things he never had any issues doing. I racked up about $28 worth of usage and then it just stopped con

    Man it's really too bad that that's the headline, because it's a great tribute to Arturo Vega, and I don't understand why it has to come at the expense of such a seminal band. If what Eno said about the Velvet Undergroun

    I'd point folks to the concept of "Construction Grammar", which is related to this problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_grammar

    Having more data and being able to consistency process it actually can say a lot about the hypotheses that linguists have. All other science is evidence-based. The challenge for linguistics has been that many theorists pick and choose armch

    I'm a big fan of Karl Popper's work. I learned about him when reading the book Empirical Linguistics by Geoffrey Sampson. At the time, it was a pretty iconoclastic publication, since it directly struck against the assumption of na

    That's not the sort of architecture I'm referring to. I'm specifically talking about splitting your application layer between Elixir and Python.

    I feel like if you need to utilize a tool like this, odds are pretty good you may have picked the Wrong Tool For the Job, or, perhaps even worse, the wrong architecture. This is why it's so important to do lots of engineering before

    Thinking 220GBP for a high-limit Claude account is the kind of thinking that really takes for granted the amount of compute power being used by these services. That's WITH the "spending other people's money" discount t

    If Celery seems like overkill for your process, and you're really just looking to execute basic cron functioanlity, then why not just use crontab to invoke your Python script? I can think of two major ways to operationalize a Python sc
