I’ve not come across Swift Salamander - and it looks interesting (even if the homepage has all the hallmarks of an AI landing page design). Anyone have any experience of it?

If I was going to make a keylogger this is pretty much how I'd do it - no need to sneak an application onto a user's machine to capture keystrokes when they'd willingly install it because it's better than the terrible of

Oh yes - exactly this. The way it articulates re-factors in my current project has got so elliptical I've had to start asking it to translate into human speak - it's like it evolves it's own language to talk about the project

I have a theory that Claude regresses to complexity. It’s trained to mimic existing patterns - so the smallest grain of over-engineering or spaghetti-code is like a mind-virus, gradually infecting all future output and self-amplifying until

You say that like it’s an infinitely scalable proposition? It really isn’t.

I tried Hevy based on hacker news recommendations - but I feel like I want more of a steer on what activities I should be doing. Hevy just seems to give me the same set over and over in trainer mode.

I once worked with a guy mixing TV programmes and live DVDs; I knew he’d been a studio engineer at one point in his career. We were re-arranging our studios one day and as I picked up a pair of NS-10s he casually said “I mixed ‘Total Eclips

Bit puzzled by some of the station data. This train: https://www.map.signalbox.io/?train=202607066710114&location... is a train from Cambridge to Kings Cross - and in the side panel it shows it as calling at the new Cam

Quite. Or differences in the box-model, appending weird symbols to CSS to target specific browsers, adding zoom:1, praying you didn’t have to support IE6….

I was chatting to a therapist friend the other day about EMDR [0] therapy. In short it’s often used in treating PTSD through alternating eye movement, but also alternating sound in headphones or tapping the body on alternating sides. The th

Those 5k times are insane - to run a 13:42 5k at 35k in is just mind-blowing….

That email felt like the most weasel way of trying to sneak it past users - "data contribution", obfuscation, and the fact that they're not even making the opt out switch available quite yet...

Gah - you’re right - but given that I don’t use personal copilot - but I do manage an organisation that gives copilot to some of our developers AND I was sent an email this evening making no mention at all of business copilot being excluded

Yes - not impressed at all that this is opt-in default for business users. We have a policy in place with clients that code we write for them won’t be used in AI training - so expecting us to opt out isn’t an acceptable approach for a busin

I’ve done a bunch of testing over the years including a similar test of ‘can people hear mp3 compression’ as well as comparison of mp3 variable bit rate qualities. In practice, on average playback equipment (by which I mean decent hifi) in

Love this! One piece of UI feedback - on mobile particularly I often found it very difficult to access the departure timetable once I'd arrived at a station. I walked to Bercy Seine in Paris (so I could try and find a bus out) - but ev

One of the best constraints of the TV show is the limited budget (along with the lack of mobile phone). It's frequently the case that teams panic spend in order stay ahead, but are hurt by those decisions later in the race. Over the se

I like that idea in concept - I’ve often felt similarly about budgeting apps. Many of them feel targeted either at low income / high debt people (who need strict control to manage their way out), or at people who have a strong interest

This has just had a major update to include other renewables (eg hydro, solar) as well as non-renewable energy sources (gas). It’s also added grid boundaries and cabling recently - and I think there’s also wind roses planned? My one UI wish

I suspect this may be driven by subscription consequences. In the UK consumer rights mean that you're able to cancel a subscription commitment if the offering is materially changed. I used this in the past when Adobe withdrew a product
