    I think thats exactly what indirectly happened. This guy didnt optimize the parser. Someone else did -- years ago. That work was pulled into the LLM and made it look like magic.

    There used to be (before preorder) an option for an extended battery. Am I missing it hidden in the customizer?

    > cpio is a very weird and ancient program with a command line which makes tar look user-friendly. But let’s not worry about the details for now. So true. Been using cpio sporadica…

    My time in IT has really oscillated between these two extremes: - "Everything around is working just fine. What are we paying IT for?" - "Everything is broken. What are we even pay…

    Dickovers are annoying -- tell me, what's your solution? For me, a combination of a) not patronizing these sites, but when I have to b) some ad blockers help. Nothing seems to work…

    Story time. Last summer I flew from ATL to SFO on a brand new Airbus. Pretty cool plane! Halfway across the count I had the obligatory restroom break. In the head, I noticed an ash…

    I hear you my friend. We've all heard the joke about two people running from a bear and only one has to be less eaten than the other. This is a race to the bottom. We shall see who…

    I know it's stupid and phschological, but there's a line in my head on what the absolute maximum I'd pay for the nsw2 once the right game comes out. That line is $450. At $500, I w…

    Somehow, I think we're missing the point and maybe braincells are being sent in the wrong direction. Well designed products don't need good customer support. My toaster works well.…

    While I cannot respond as a doctor, I can respond as an EMT. Totally different. But heres the deal. The person who is the most important to you on the worst day of your life is the…

    So let me ask this. What is the perfect mix of inerviews and durations? If you ask my blue collar friends, the answer is one and however long it takes to drink three beers. If you …

    This is a great blog post and very sound advice. I, however, miss twitter's "twitterness". 140 characters and a link.

    I disagree. While those are great points, I don't think that's the primary reason -- and maybe we're actually saying the same thing. This tractor will last 50 years (and maybe more…

    My chickens must have been born in the Bronx, because they've cornered an opossum, bloodied coons and only one has ever "lost" to a fox.

    I think Robinhood bought x1, so I think the Robinhood gold card is the same thing (citation needed). I pay something like $100/yr and the app generated numbers on demand. I made th…

    Valid points! I do create a separate email (proton has an alias generator and allows unlimited if you pay), credit card, and phone number for each service. Adds about 90 seconds to…

    This is why I have protonmail aliases, a burner second phone, and an x1 virtual cc. While I can't stop the enshittification, I can fight back by remaining pseudo anonymous and comp…

    I think you're onto something. Replace "developers" with "doctors" I that statement and you've described healthcare in the mid 1900s. Replace with "masons" and we describe the medi…
