Same. Both times I tried it was adamant that I can only use opus. I was reworking my company content (financial services) and it was not helpful.

It certainly feels like the copywriters at cloudflare received marching orders to write for a broader audience, which means, write for no one. I miss their more technical writing style.

I was just looking at the same thing and how flawed it is that we tie parameter count with "intelligence". GLM-5.2 is my go to day to day model because of how darn good it is. I had no idea it had a substantially lower parameter c

Switching all my projects from psql to SQLite was a bit of a PITA but has absolutely been worth it. Keeping with the “do it the rails way” has kept mental overhead low, and seems to jive well with using LLMs.

Related to this is WaitUntil8th, a movement encouraging parents to sign up in groups/regional block (think a PAC) so there is less pressure on individual kids if their peers are also banned. For what it is worth, after speaking with a

… I’ve been using Ruby for years and never thought to use show_source like this in a debugger. Thanks kind stranger, you just made my day!

Agreed. I think the article does a great job going into exactly that definition.

This is really cool, and very well done! Would love to see it more on a per-user basis, as I share access with my family and do not have similar tastes at all. Perhaps tied in with Overseer API and Tautulli to see what users are requesting,

I recently tried RubyMine IDE by jetbrains after having jumped on the VS Code bandwagon since its first beta release. It has been incredible. Instead of monkeying around for 3 hours once a month because some plugin broke, or some dependency

It certainly does sound like Canada. I am one of the lucky ones and do have a family doctor and it is still a minimum of 6 weeks for me to book an appointment to see him. If I am really in trouble, I can go to his clinic as a drop-in (along

Couldn't agree more. Greece is a great example of what happens to a country when they have a sovereign debt crisis and no control over the value of their currency. The ability to control your overnight bank rates, and your monetary sup

That's actually a really cool idea. I am not sure what variance there would be on a light sensor though.

Anyone who is looking at using SQLIte + Rails should check out the work done by Oldmoe (X/Github) on his Litestack project. Here's the intro paragraph: "Litestack is a Ruby gem that provides both Ruby and Ruby on Rails applic

I said the same to my fiancée. We have gold status on Westjet (Canada’s second largest carrier and it has a hub airport close by) and I just put in the cancellation on my westjet credit card and will use up the rest of my credit. They use p

Has 4G/5G improved? When I lived in the UK (Midlands until 2019) it was entirely unreliable. I'd wager 75% of my connection was on 3G as soon as I was more than 3Km from a town's high street. I can say with confidence that th

For what it’s worth, we close during the Christmas and New Years break every year but still pay our employees/don’t use up their PTO. I don’t want to work during that time, and don’t think it’s reasonable to make my employees align the

I do mostly construction financing for a living and can confirm, housing construction costs in BC are ludicrous. A major factor in the jump is the build code changes and new environmental and safety requirements. All those extra electrical

With the continued shift to EVs, petrol taxes just don't make sense as a form of taxation to pay for roads. I think we should be shifting entirely to a gross curb weight tax for all vehicles. The fourth power law states that the greate

My local small-town library has become a pseudo homeless shelter. It’s exactly as this article describes. Often I’ll go in and there will be a local homeless person muttering in the corner. That has certainly dissuaded me from going regular
