To be fair, that comment is by Boris Cherny, the guy who developed Claude Code. You have to give him a bit of slack for wanting to use his tool for literally everything.

I think a lot of people pay their phones off with a contract over several years. Signing up for a new phone contract, you start looking at a $600 phone. Thats $25 a month plus $15 for your calls and data, so $40 a month. Then you see the ne

How much of this is just down to your mail server being randomly assigned an IP address with dubious history or not?

I have ad blockers everywhere apart from the instagram app. I have bought a ton of stuff off the ads on there. I'm not proud, but have to admit I am powerless against them. Underwear, t-shirts, soap, online courses I have never used, I

I get an occasional request from a friend who is trying to build a following to interact with their posts to boost their visibility. I'll go through, like a few then sit around for a while desperately trying to think of something non-g

What kind of ads would you expect to see? "Hey, you're asking a lot of questions about Postgres lately. Have you considered moving to Oracle?"

The reason you've had more bad results than good is because you haven't fully learned how to use LLMs yet. They are not as simple as they first appear. I think a lot of people think using a coding agent is just a case of firing it

Is this one of those cases where at one point you had an error in the file and you figured it was down to spaces? You fixed that issue, it still didn't work but from that point you never thought to question the assumption. I find mysel

Wow! Is this a new feature? I swear it wasn't there when I looked into it a few years ago. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Vivaldi is the only browser where you can actually disable Ctrl+W from closing a tab. And that is why fat fingered I uses it.

Unlikely. The media has already been taken over, so unfortunately people are more likely to cheer it on and blame outsiders for their problems.

Interesting. On the pricing page, there are still limits placed on the usage. How restrictive have you found them?

Thank you, I'll look into it. For someone who is used to just working with second hand thinkpads, this stuff gets expensive fast!

How good are local LLMs at coding these days? Does anyone have any recommendations for how to get this setup? What would the minimum spend be for usable hardware? I am getting bored of having to plan my weekends around quota limit reset tim

I don't think it's so clear cut. The problem is that his personality defects have allowed him to be influenced by people who are truly malevolent. Those people lurk more in the shadows and so avoid the condemnation that they deser

I've worked at companies before where they have balked at spending $300 to buy me a second hand thinkpad because I really wanted to work on a Linux machine rather than a mac. I don't see them throwing $unlimited at tokens to find
