    Just because scales are grouped by 128x128 tiles, does not mean you need a single compute tile that large. It works completely fine to process it with multiple smaller tiles that g…

    Wait, since when does it matter whether something being hyper-optimized is useful? The computer going brrrr on an interesting problem is in itself the goal!

    It's not for slower devices, it's for lower data transfer bills for providers like YouTube.

    This is implemented the wrong way around. Each program should only have access to its own folders by default, with it being possible to grant additional access. Also, I don't belie…

    Sandboxie is essentially a giant pile of fragile hacks on top of a Windows API that does not want to be used this way. Does it seem like it works most of the time? Sure. Has it had…

    Can you configure that as a user for an unsafe program you want to run such as an online game? I think not.

    Microsoft has refused to allow any kind of persistence of these sandboxes making them absolutely worthless. Such a waste of an otherwise good feature.

    Sadly, Windows cannot do that. Every installed program has full disk access by default. It's very, very difficult to make it not so.

    Bruh. It's getting hard to track down all these MAKE_IT_ACTUALLY_WORK settings that default to off for no reason.

    You mean the 33k bots that created a nearly linear stars/day graph? There's a dip in the middle, but it was very blatant at the start (and now)

    I didn't know we could change the base system prompt of Claude Code. Just tried, and indeed it works. This changes everything! Thank you for posting this!

    But you can't. Many times I've seen claude write confusing off-track nonsense in the thinking and then do the correct action anyway as if that never happened. It doesn't work the w…

    Many people are not salaried and can roughly convert more working hours into proportionally more money, so the comparison does kinda make sense. Why uselessly stand in line for an …

    It can. The fact there is a password, even if you can trivially find said password, is considered a protection. The German law is completely absurd here.
