The St. Lawrence Seaway traffic isn't at Vancouver levels, but it's far from negligible. In the relatively long-term, I'm also interested to see what's going to happen with the expansions at Churchill. It's still ce

Clearly this is something that was important to the person who posted it. I am not the OP, but I am somebody who decides what software we use org-wide in a company, and this sort of thing matters to me.

I love this so much! This is such a cool hack, just for the sake of it. Amazing hacking and amazing art! In the preso, she has said the full size output is on the website- can anyone see what that link is? I didn't find it on the vide

I read the GitHub repo, but still don't quite understand- What exactly is the advantage of doing this vs just running a prompt in my existing coding agent? I don't understand why this is a harness/project vs just for example,

I'm not defending them or this behaviour but it sounds to me like they may think the message/threat this sends to silence future criticism from other people, outweighs the immediate sum. (Internally I'm sure they could probab

I'm not sure I understand the intention here- One of the technical things I don't really understand, is that it is not that hard to have an agent use tmux/etc to type into Claude code directly if you really want to? Like usin

I think for kids in particular, it's important to remember that the educational discount brings it down to US 500. That's not exactly nothing but that's a pretty reasonable amount for a non-crap laptop.

I certainly do not want to try to talk you into this particular phone – but just in the general case so you know, it's pretty easy to get physical Sims that you can download an eSIM onto.

I didn't deep dive into this, but just for context and comparison, here are some other tools which are building TikTok like tools on Bluesky- https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/01/here-are-the-apps-battling..

I'm trying not to get nerdsniped, but in the realm of subjective pragmatics, I personally find `allowlisting` to be drastically more clear.

Does it say anywhere which model it’s using? I see references to vLLM in the GitHub but not which actual model (Llama, Mistral, etc.) or if they have a custom fine tune, or you give your own huggingface link?

I agree that a lot of plastic recycling is greenwashing from the manufacturing industry. I've seen the statistics, and we need to take dramatic steps in order to reduce the amount of single use plastics – but don't you think that

Historically Starlink roam let you pause/suspend the service and restart it when you need- In August they changed their plans so you’d need to cancel and re-subscribe.

What a beautiful bit of hacking! This is awesome, and made my day to see :) It sounded -much- better than I would have guessed!

Like so many things, it depends- How quickly do you need to be able to restore? Is it commercial or homelab? The most cost-effective option by far would be to put a NAS device someplace offsite. You could use tailscale to connect to it remo

Because the technical aspect of building the software like is the most fun and nerd–sniping, but perhaps the least important part in the process of building an audience and encouraging people to adopt it.

Just one point of view- but I have used both a decent amount and I drastically prefer CarPlay. The native apps are … fine? Again, it’s just my particular perspective, but I really appreciate that any CarPlay vehicle has the exact apps that

The big one for me is moving packages to snap. You can work around it, but that defeats the whole “works out of the box” aspect

One thing your comment it made me think of that I would find really useful as a future, if you did want to use a LLM as part of a browser- I’d love for it to be able to read a given webpage and extract the different articles/pages into

Thanks! I’m glad to see that that’s something that works for you, and I think I understand what you’re using it for more even if it’s not something I would do. Personally - No way. I don’t want to let generative AI anywhere near anything I

Great point - Firefox container tabs and the “temporary containers” are essential to me and my workflow. It makes it so trivial to be logged into multiple AWS accounts or isolate shared cookies by environment. I would love to have a chromiu

One thing that I do think AI would genuinely be useful at, is a smarter “reader mode”. I don’t want it to summarize the page. I don’t want it to do the reading for me. But if it use visual analysis to remove ads, that can work even when the

If you use a string inverter not a emphase style microinverter, most of them are capable of running without the grid- Particularly if you add any sort of battery system. These use a form of transfer switch like you’d use when you connect a

Relatedly, is there a good archive of EDID binaries somewhere, or a better program to make them? I have an nice programmable EDID emulator plug, and I can clone my monitor and others, but there's some times there's a specific reso
