In my little social circle DS4F generally substitutes for GLM 5.2 except it's the next best thing to free.

I know people who can cook a lot of food pretty well, but don't understand why they can't use a laser thermometer to check their meat. Knowing really is half the battle.

I've owned four OnePlus phones, but I've been buying other brands lately. 1. OnePlus became nearly as expensive as flagships but wasn't as good 2. The official software used to be almost-stock Android but they bloated it up 3

I once lucked into a private tour of a Monet gallery. I asked the curator, "these paintings just don't look great, why should I be impressed?" The curator responded that Monet, and impressionism in general, were a reaction to

My mom works at a credit union and the staff are constantly saving people from scams just because the customer came in and the staff had a chance to notice something fishy happening.

That'd leave even more room for drama. I'm imagining Gavin hiring thousands of cheap, unskilled laborers ("Hooli's industry-leading AI research team") to mash keys until they rediscover the prompt that generated mid

I remember an ORM that uses fake column types like `boolean` and `datetime` because SQLite doesn't enforce anything. That way the ORM knows how to deserialize the data. Strict mode prohibits this by only accepting column types SQLite r

Unfortunately this is why Anthropic is so aggressive about preventing Claude subscriptions from being used with other tools.

I use Ollama Cloud. $20/mo and I never come close to hitting quota (YMMV obviously). They don't log anything, and they use US datacenters.

And while they affect a similar percentage of people, they don't necessarily affect the same individuals. Same for therapy modalities, which often show similar efficacy in studies, but different efficacy for any given person. So you&#x

Oh for sure, the operator choosing not to apologize or reflect on their behavior speaks volumes.

I've seen the internet mob in action many times. I'm sympathetic to the operator not outing themself, especially given how far this story spread. A hundred thousand angry strangers with pitchforks isn't the accountability we&

The part that really sets Datastar apart for me is it holds client-side variables which are included in all requests. So I no longer have to think about piping & preserving view state when the DOM gets patched. It's also neat how t

Part of the reason I use RSS instead of getting my links through social media is because when I like something enough to subscribe, I want to read all of it. Not to "dip in". A paradigm where I sample articles means RSS isn't

I can't believe how long I was sleeping on fd and zoxide. zoxide is now one of my top commands, and fd feels like when I switched to ripgrep. So fast and easy there's no reason not to run it.

I get the error if I try dragging the icon to the home screen. But it works if I click "add to home screen" so it auto-places, then move the icon afterward. I've got a bunch of web pages on my Lawnchair home screen.

I found MB Compass a few weeks ago and it's been very helpful for everyday things. For example, I just moved to a new apartment and I used the app to identify which room would get the best sunlight for my office. Works great!

I used this during a "geeky jokes" icebreaker at work. No one got the joke so I just sounded condescending. Lesson learned.

This is my experience too. Tried again just this week. Zero issues with Gnome or Cosmic (so likely not hardware issues), but an-least-daily Plasma crashes.

I switched from YNAB to Actual Budget. It's FOSS, and has nifty power user features like a DSL for distributing monthly funds and cleaning up extra at the end of the month.

I used Ledger for a while, then some other tools. Now I'm on Actual Budget, a nice FOSS envelope budget app that can import transactions from my bank. I find value in tracking everything, tracking it by hand, and tracking it with preci

Since Marmot pivoted to the MySQL wire protocol, I haven't had a clear picture of its advantages over using normal MySQL with active-active replication. Can you speak to that?

You've got the new 2.8K display, which Framework introduced specifically for its improved DPI scaling. I have the original 2.2K display (2256x1504).
