I use a monitor for this. Just hit a button the bottom and it swaps to the other input and I keep the keyboard / mouse plugged into the monitor and it goes where the input goes.

If he is successful that would provide a road map for other nations to turn away from US hegemony and make deeper connections with Europe instead. Probably makes it easier that Canada is western and a commonwealth country. Carney definitely

You might get your 100 dollars but google will ban you / stop doing any business with you the minute you start that so you better be sure you don't need your account or google services going forward.

Why would they? Every one else is raising prices at so they will too.

I fucking hate it. It encodes context it needs into doc comments and regular comments that make them in insufferable to read and so verbose because the comments contain info on other parts of the code base (that might have changed since tha

Windows is not really a growing user base in a lot of places it is in decline. Most "internet users" are mobile. The ones using windows are doing it from work laptops that are locked down and use edge (chrome). If windows was a gr

Being beholden to Google who might decide that the risk of antitrust is lower than the price they are paying for that search box is a pretty precarious place to be in.

They are in a tough place. They dont have the advantage of owning the OS (android/chrome and iOS / Safari) nor the advantage of advertising on the google home page like chrome. The "customers" they are courting are secur

Difference between taking your own notes and skimming someone else's. I have found in the last year I "get more done" but I learn less. Whats even worse is if I burn though my token quota I am less likely(and less able) to &q

Sure, but there are very very few new consumer banks. Most of the existing ones already have mainframes because they were early adopters.

by tempest_ 21d ago
At this point no one is buying into mainframes are they? So they are just selling to the existing pool of users for which the price just has to come in under the cost/risk of rewriting all their ancient stuff.

Our GitlabCE instance has been sitting in the racks for nearly two years with almost 100% uptime running on 10 year old xeons that have long since paid for themselves. Of course it is not free of all management but for our use case it is wo

Which is exactly why we saw 1000s of ' "I" rewrote <mature software> in rust' posts last year when agentic coding really took off. Agents (even ones powered by small models) do reasonably well when provided an orac

You mainly get this because honestly I was already happy with the existing product. The main focus of this post is not something I was really looking for and is a nice addition but I would still be using the existing product regardless. Bas

They are just trying to close the loophole from the scrapers. They are selling content to google et al for their LLMs and they don't want to give it away for free.

I've been enjoying Kagi for the last couple years. Even as LLMs slurp up most of the internet and replace search I think Kagi is still useful. Reddit has recently blocked access to old reddit without an account and the ability to filte

Nah fuck the companies and their horse shit. 99% percent of them intentionally turn the "decline" choice into a 5 - 10 step game of dark patterns even though the EU policy says it should be equally easy to decline. They know its b

Best we can do is a full screen model or annoying toast telling users we dont use cookies and click 4 to 7 check boxes to agree.

Yes, and I prefer that term because no one but claude ever talks to me using the word seam every other paragraph. I have instructions which is confidently ignores to never use seam and instead say interface.

I have gotten to the point that when it throws a wall of text at me I demand a diagram heavy primer from "first principles". This helps a bit but is a token burner for sure since CC seems to (and literally) be paid by the word.

"seam" is apparently... according to Claude itself a term from 'Working Effectively with Legacy Code' by Michael Feathers which I have not read. All it took was for one sub agent to use this term and it stated using it

Newegg lists h200s ~40k another 50k for the machine to put your 8 h200s in Its pricey obviously but the 500-1M price tag is not out of the realm for most large companies.

Even on a large timeline there is just a lot of risk when migrating legacy infra to an entirely new system, especially if the original arch grew "organically" and has tones of edge cases. I always figured these problems were direc

Designs, docs, the claims it makes, ignores instructions, "defers" things constantly leaving incomplete work. Maybe I am "holding it wrong"(tm) but I find it frustrating to work with.

It is very weird. 6 months ago I generated some documentation for a service that was largely undocumented. When it was done my only thought was "who is this for?" Is any one going to actually read this or are they just going to as
