Opus has been fine on proteomics and bioinformatics for me. I have never seen a Claude model refuse on such grounds before in the past. Claude is still the best IMO, but it feels like its most frustrating and grating aspects are not down to

I work on software that talks to mass spectrometers and it consistently refuses to refactor even an input file parser, presumably because it can infer it’s related to biology? Useless indeed.

Came to post exactly this, except it’s got me using emacs again. I led myself into some mild psychosis where I attempted to mimic the Acme editor’s windowing system, but I recovered

Give them love and care, and let them grow out of it. Do not sterilize and mutilate them—a most extreme form of “conversion therapy”.

For me LLMs have been an incredible relief when it comes to software planning —quickly navigating the paralyzing quantity of choices when it comes to infrastructure, deployment, architecture and so on. Of course, this only highlights how c

Wezterm is actually programmable. I am looking to drop Kitty as it intentionally offers minimal tmux support and the text rendering options that made it superior for me are being deprecated. Until Ghostty offers the scriptability found in w

I am lucky to have never had a live coding interview, because I would utterly crumple. Not proud to say and something I should work on, but it’s very real.

The genteel American Beech is currently threatened by disease. Where I live in New England is covered in beeches, and starting last year I have not seen a single one that doesn’t show symptoms of infection: https://www.fs.usda.go

100% agree, especially on the lispy expressiveness. I love that I can build analysis pipelines in a functional style, which has always clicked with me more than other paradigms. Tidyverse is a godsend for at least getting initial data trans

Nice post. R's quirks seem to put some people off but I've found that it's a relative joy for exploratory analysis and visualization like this, especially within RStudio. Recently I was tasked with grouping a large number of

Ah yeah, I do this too. The hostname and current working dir gets its own line, then on the line below I have my prompt sigil (% or $, depending on shell). What I meant was in the new Jetbrains IDE terminal, the prompt is pinned in a pane a

Could you elaborate more? I'm having trouble visualizing what you mean.

At first glance, I love the idea of the prompt being in a static position, separated from the output. Surprised that this is the first time I've seen something like that.

I couldn't bear to finish reading your story, for which I apologize. Our son is physically and developmentally disabled and though not at all near the level of yours, he will probably require assistance for the rest of his life. I will

I planted some in my yard up in New England, where it’s native. It’s spread nicely, and seems to act as a “sink” for aphids, keeping them away from other plants. They flock to it but don’t appear to seriously damage the plant’s ability to d

This analogy is naïve. There is plenty of evidence of extermination behavior among early native Americans. In more recent times, the Anasazi were especially feared by their neighbors for the horrors they'd inflict.

Neither have I. My main complaint is that it's slow.

Yeah, it's not bad news at all but it appears to be one of many that still require considerable heat, industrial infra, etc. Has anyone attempted to put these enzymes to the test in at some scale in an industrial setting, I wonder?
