    Even with items enabled across both categories, you're optimizing for different things. In the speedrun case you're optimizing for the fastest possible peak time, while with regula…

    This manual has too many AI-isms so I couldn't force myself to read through it. I wish they had just published the text in whatever way they wrote it. Nobody is impressed by walls …

    A few months back I was playing around with win32 UI widgets and found one instance of surprising behavior which diverges from what is implemented here. To be clear this is not a d…

    There is a weird sense of entitlement that AI data centers should be allowed to get built anywhere, but I don't think the positive case has been made that it's actually that much o…

    It all started off as obvious bullshit: in 2024 Elon Musk was claiming that he could cut $2 trillion in waste, fraud, and abuse. He then walked that back to $1 trillion in cuts, bu…

    At least for me, the jump in productivity has resulted in building stripped down one-off software for my highly specific use-cases. You can use an LLM to create anything but you st…

    A lot of people severely underestimate the value and impact of the arts because they don't produce immediately visible results. But artistic works are often a massive source of ins…

    I think the more likely explanation is that he's just not as familiar with frontend web development and react, so he underestimated the difficulty. He was asking for help on Twitte…

    If I remember correctly, he wanted to fix the web search UI to match the features offered by Discord. He even crowdsourced some free work from his followers by asking them for help…

    Microsoft actually offered free VMs with different OS and IE versions to make testing easier.

    Yeah I could see it being a problem if you're doing work on closed source or repos with sensitive credentials. Since my usage has all been on open source projects I'd be happy to s…

    Do you have a substantive reason why you dislike this? What is the problem if it's opt-in? Nobody is forcing you to share your usage if you don't want to. I'd prefer it if all the …

    Someone should setup a plugin or something for Claude Code that makes it easy to log all inputs and outputs for people who are willing and interested in sharing their usage. I don'…

    I took up acrylics painting a few years back and I've been surprised by how much is lost in photos and videos. The two colors with which I've noticed this the most are ultramarine …

    I've been thinking a lot about soul cultivation as a concept, and the general structure of the soul, and doing a bit of writing on the topic. I feel like this topic is surprisingly…

    What do you think are the most important problems that the US is currently facing?

    It helps to look at some figures to bring it into perspective instead of making off hand comments about how it's not a lot. Remember these are human lives! After some searching, I …

    Does anyone have advice for getting it down? I feel like no matter what I mix it with, it grosses me out and it becomes extremely challenging to get it down. I've tried pouring the…

    I was recently talking to someone about that! I wasn't sure if it was my imagination, but I felt like Opus 4.6 was way more diligent about looking things up online and making sure …

    That reminds me, do skilled players actually use the tilt keys? I remember being confused for years as to the purpose of tilt keys because I hadn't used a real pinball machine, and…

    Gemini is great, but when I last tried it it wasn't as good as Claude Code with agentic workflows. When I tried Antigravity is was very unreliable, like the tooling had yet to catc…
