There's one at the bottom of the page -- ugly, as you might have expected.

I had GLM-5.1 via Claude Code create a macOS driver for an unsupported USB gamepad with a proprietary protocol. I answered a few questions and then let it run while I was away at work. After two sessions I now have a working controller on m

Some modern 35mm emulsions can record ~500 megapixels worth of detail, but good luck getting all that detail in a digital scan. https://www.adox.de/Photo/films/cms20ii-en/

It seems like one could just shoot film and make darkroom prints and accomplish the same thing?

SCOTUS has life-long appointments because it is designed to move and operate slowly and be the least political of the branches. Parties that try to legislate from the bench when they cannot successfully get something through Congress are th

If you want to make a new internet and take all the trash that is on the current one with you to the new one, please do! It will make the current one much more tolerable for the rest of us.

Most people don't hate trans people, they just think they believe things that do not correspond to biological reality; ie. they have an illness that is negatively affecting their mind and they need compassion and help. Those same peopl

Assuming the hue and saturation components stay the same, changes in lightness would result in various shades of the same “color”. I think. Maybe. The problem is that in real life changes in lightness result in changes in saturation as well

Yeah bought some Ultramax 400 last week. Two rolls….$25. Yikes. Might switch to bulk rolling soonish. Portra 400 is about 16-18/roll at the moment. It’s crazy.

Same. There's a difference in texture, primarily in the trebles, but there's also a general muddiness and lack of separation. Everything feels like it's been smoothed over, but not in a good way, or too "crunchy". T

Code output from is Claude pretty good. It seems to hallucinate less than o1 for me. It's been a struggle to get o1 to stop referencing non-existent methods and functions.

Here’s o1’s answer: The function `fizzbuzz(n)` returns a value based on whether `n` is divisible by 3, 5, both, or neither. Let's break down the function step by step for an input of `n = 3`: 1. Array Initialization: ["Fizz&

It's like a glass of pure water. If there is anything else in the glass, it can no longer be called a glass of pure water. Likewise, the presence of evil of any quantity or quality in a person disqualifies them from being good. Apple t

I understand your perspective, but I maintain that "good" (morally pure) isn't a category any of us belong to. We're all lying, hateful people to one extent or another, and lying hateful people aren't "good&quo

The problem isn't society or profit motivation. It's people. Humanity itself is corrupt. There aren't "good people" and "bad people". There's only "bad people." We're all bad people, ju

Using the term "justify" is very common outside of web. It's been used for decades in print ("left justify / right justify / center justify"). This is indeed a web project though, so I hear what you'r

I think it is that the elements alternate in height between the left and the right columns, creating a weird kind of feeling of instability as you move down the page. The vertical rhythm of the layout creates a feeling of unsettledness and

This seems similar to the type of intrusive thoughts associated with OCD. It's like someone pretending to be God inside your mind, making commentary on all the things you want or try to do, sometimes very cruel. I kind of think of it a

I fairly regularly hyperfocus on something that isn't the thing I should really be hyperfocusing on and end up spending hours fleshing out a less-than-supremely valuable idea without meaning to. Hyperfocus in the wrong direction can be

I buy computers that run macOS for a couple reasons: - it’s generally smooth and stable from a UI standpoint - it has mostly sane defaults - it has great font rendering - the video and audio subsystems are rock solid - it has access to ever

You're probably right. I am in the middle-class, maybe lower middle-class, and I live in the US. I have advantages and opportunities that many in other circumstances do not and I am sincerely grateful for them.

I doubt I am alone in saying that I would gladly pay twice the price to avoid having to use Windows. It's the most user-hostile, hand-holdy, second-guess-and-confirm-my-explicit-command-ey os I've used to date. And bloatware baked

Bonus level is real. It's *very* difficult so far. Every time I get close to getting some useful info out it locks down pretty hard. Every level contains the levels before it (and more) I believe.

My experience is analogous to yours. Initial motion sickness, *strong* de-realization and de-personalization (especially with hands, but also my torso and legs). Nausea didn't get better and seemed to be present when my head was turnin
