Claude Code on Opus 4.6 - not terrible... Walk. 50 meters is basically across a parking lot. You'll need to drive the car there for the wash, but if you're just asking about gettin…

This is all so dumb that it feels like it must be a troll. You don’t need a TV to watch your local TV news. They have this newfangled thing called a website and they are also on tw…

Hmm, I think 50/50 is the worst you could do. What if you put 1 black marble in 1 bag and the other marbles in the other bag. Then even a random choice would get you .5 * 100% + .5…

His critique is more about the impact of the full ecosystem effect of the Tidyverse, not what you are referring to, which is just the dplyr semantics. The Tidyverse demands that it…

Edison, EINSTEIN, and Musk?? You think that "general relativity project" would never have gotten off the ground without some solid networking skills by Al? Or developing quantum th…
