> Does anyone really think the Trump admin wouldn't consider seizing foreign gold reserves as part of such a move? There has to be an adult in the room there to tell them this is a really bad idea. I mean I didn't think Putin w

Where does it end though? The most optimistic (or pessimistic, depending on your viewpoint) say that AI will be able to replace or displace lots of professions. Is there enough work for everyone? Is there enough meaningful work for everyo

The crux of this entire issue surrounding replacing people with agents, is that agents should pay taxes. If we're losing people that pay taxes our social safety nets will crumble. Maybe that makes the math more in favor of actually usi

I've had a lot of side projects but I'm finally actually finishing some, and it's sort of useful so that's fun. Wanted to make it easy to see the difference between the Xbox Gamepass tiers, maybe you only need essential

I'm guilty of creating a fork that just goes off the rails, but still needs to keep up with upstream. I do it via a skill and seems to work good enough for now: https://github.com/midasvo/findroid-ce/tree&#x2F

I pay for games because it's more convenient than pirating them. For movies and tv however... They make it so difficult to be a customer.

This looks fine to me? In long threads it gets a bit hard to follow, only thing I'm missing is a jump to next root comment. https://i.imgur.com/8e1Syyf.jpeg

You also don't really need LLM's, we still have software engineers too. Everyone is focusing so heavily on the speed gain producing code, but in my experience clients of established products aren't really waiting for massiv

So as a European, I'm being blocked from all new models apparently. I'm a big fan of using Claude Code for my sideprojects and for those I don't really care about sharing context. Is there aything that comes close to Claude C

I think the comparison TikTok and Philip Morris tracks. Both spent insane amounts of money and talent optimizing the bad choices the addict could make.

We made that world. There are very smart people who spent their talent making the most addictive social media as possible.

Same - but mine are open source in the sense that they're public on my own Forgejo instance. So no one's gonna bother with em, but technically they are open source. One exception: I was using an opensource Jellyfin client called f

Great news. Would have been devastating to have such an integral part of our society at the whims of not just another nation, but an unstable and downright hostile one.

It's genuinely hilarious how the same leadership pushing for RTO because getting people together creates magic, seems to have no issues trading those same people out for LLM's churning at specs.

n=1 but i don't really discover new projects via github, it's mainly here, reddit, or via colleagues. then again, i selfhost forgejo so don't have a real presence on github

Same - also installed a forgejo runner via docker so i've got CI. Forgejo has it's own artifactory/registry so the apps I make get a docker image and I just run that docker image. All on my own hardware.

It's just abhorrently slow, it does a lot but I always thouhgt TUI were fast but the amount of times it doesn't register my input is way too much.

This and the idea of creating some sort of english-adjacent programming language for LLM's is fun, I guess, but what problem is it solving. Do we really need to go an abstraction higher?

To be fair, VS Code git implementation is really off-putting if you've used something good.

Renovate (dependabot equiv I think) creates PRs, I usually walk through them every morning or when there's a bit of downtime. Playing with the idea to automerge patches and maybe even minor updates but up until now it's not that h

My dad uses Gemini because it's the default thingy on his android phone - I asked him if he used ChatGPT and he said yes and navigated to Gemini. Most people really don't care that much I think.

Quitting smoking was the best decision I made and I wish I did it earlier. If you feel ready Allen Carr's book worked for me. I wasted so much time smoking.

Being based in Europa is a massive USP for European companies - the USA being harder and harder to trust each day. It's difficult to build business on shaky ground.

There's no way to catch up really - if they keep innovating like they are it's not possible to bridge that gap.
