I went from IDE (VS Code) to terminal (wezterm) running half a dozen agents in an app called Herdr. My computer work is mostly in the terminal now, prompting agents. And they have access to my Obsidian vaults. Can read, and add to them. And

I don’t understand the downvotes. It’s perfectly reasonable to disagree, but the argument is laid out clearly. Why not engage with it instead?

Some 20 years ago, the telecommunications sector in Germany was liberalized. Many telephone card providers entered what had previously been a barely competitive market. They advertised their products with aggressive claims like: “Buy our €1

Which prompt, though? Just the initial one, or the entire conversation? During a project you’ll prompt the agent dozens of times. Are all of those prompts considered the source?

For those who moved away from GitHub: do you miss the social/discovery side of it? I mean things like comments on issues/PRs, stars, followers, finding existing repos, seeing which projects are popular, and getting drive-by contri

I‘d go with Scheme. You‘ll learn the basics in a day. The language spec is only a few pages. And Scheme reads like pseudo-code with parentheses.

Wouldn’t a modern app like iA Wtiter or any other distraction free full screen text based writer be just as good? Or why does WordStar still have his fanbase decades later?

What is the incentive of the U.S. government? Is it to prevent adversaries from accessing this powerful technology? Because of security concerns? Or is there a fear that European, Asian, Latin American, and other companies could use it to b

Are GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.8 the last models we're going te be allowed to use in Europe? Is there going to be a cut, and we're only be allowed to use less capabale models outside of the US? I mean, if they deem Fable 5 to powerful to

What? M5 Max MacBook Pro: $4,099 (up from $3,599) M3 Ultra Mac Studio: $5,299 (up from $3,999 How can this be explained with price increases in Ram prices? Come on Apple, don’t be so greedy. Make money but don’t bleed us.

I suspect AI is replacing my need for productivity content much faster than it’s replacing my need for books. I read fewer blog posts, fewer newsletters, fewer “10 lessons from…” articles, and fewer productivity videos than I did three year

First they came for the Chinese (can’t buy GPUs), then all of non US citizens (can’t use latest models). What’s next, we can’t use encryption? Cybersecurity tools? Access to latest publications in science?

Can this be used as an alternative to Claude backend? For Ralph loops? Replacing `claude -p`? Anyone can shed a light on this?

Love it! Thanks for sharing. I use mermaid a lot, and this I will use to embed my diagrams as ascii in my text docu.

Absolutely love HP calculators. Almost fourty years ago, my HP28s introduced me into programming in RPL, a stack based Forth like language combined with elements from Scheme (Lisp), and symbolic calculation. It was a language that was way a

I cannot imagine that students, kids, or half the world where paying 3 usd a month is impossible, will keep using whatsapp when they have to pay a fee. They will look for alternatives immediately. Telegram? But actually this is a good move.

I used a predecessor of this almost thirty years ago to learn Scheme and work trough the book SICP. The Racket maintainers still ship updates and new features, that’s remarkable. Scheme is a wonderful lisp dialect. It taught me basics of fu

Companies might need Microsoft, but why are people panicking who could replace ms office with other office suites? Why aren’t they abandoning Microsoft products? From office suites to windows?

Not lost because it's hard to learn, but because I don't like writing in ms office products. It's not just word, I write formated long emails in outlook as well.

I am a heavy user of Pandoc. As I write all my text in markdown using Obsidian, but have to create content for the MS Office environment, I use Pandoc to convert my markdown content into ms office formated content. I would be lost had I hav

The author is blaming llms alone. And is not even mentioning sites where you can download any and every book you wish. That might have led to decreasing sales as well.

Not everything can be answered with yes or no. I used to give thorough answers even pre-LLMs. When someone asks about a project and its details, I am supposed to give a one sentence answer because LLMs give lengthy answers and that sucks? T

BBEdit used to be my text-transformation tool. Happily paid for every update for years, even when I used Emacs, I kept BBedit in reach. For quick text edits/transformations (because Regex in Emacs is hard to use). But with LLMs + nvim

100%. This is what’s happening with agentic coding. We develop individual solutions tailored to our needs. We don’t need one-stop shops anymore. For instance I have created a snippet manager, because I didn’t like the one in Raycast. Or I h

This is true. At our company they rolled out ChatGPT with Codex. After two months of happily using it, I got a call from the IT OPs telling me I burnt through four hundred million tokens, 200m a month. And created at least a thousand euro b

I use Claude Code, the max plan, for 200$ a month. Privately. So if I convince my peers at work to use this, will it cost significantly more? Because it's token usage based? Not flat rate? And if so, how much more? I think I burned thr

There‘s HP calculator guys and TI guys. Around the age of 17 I spent lots of time programming my HP28s calculator in a Forth like language that had symbolic mathematics, lots of ideas from Scheme (closures, functions as first class argument

Zed is a very polished and nice product. I tried hard to use it, especially when I decided to migrate away from Emacs. But NeoVim gives me everything I was looking for in Zed: Speed, a polished UI, quick startup, not overloaded. So between
