The lack of greed is wonderful. It makes me think of how many endeavours would have succeeded if the founders and advisors weren't greedy. At least this story shows that the lack o…

So does this become a new display type? Laser TV?

I don't like giving away any information what-so-ever in an API key, and would lean towards a UUIDv7 string, just trying to avoid collisions. Even the random hex with checksum comp…

Highly processed food should be avoided at all costs.

I'm interested in this as a way to manage a calendar for my mother that is showing early signs of Dementia. If we can centrally manage her bookings and all she has to do is look at…

Just today I dumped Windows 11 and moved to Linux, lots to learn but wow, so nice not to be inside their walls.

Proof read everything the AI writes. Triple check the security side of things.

Get a calculator out and work out the savings on the home page. Accuracy is important if you want people to give you money.

It would be great to see this for each culture around the world, identifying the named colours from their language / culture. I saw a BBC? documentary about this years ago and it s…

If used in power generation, would they open new options? e.g. high RPM, or high torque options over existing generators?

I did :) good pick up!

It frustrates me no end when large commercial web sites fail to store state in URLs. It should be updated when the user clicks the 'submit' button of a page, especially when relate…

With the ever increasing explosion of devices capable of consuming AI services, and internet infrastructure being so ubiquitous that billions of people can use AI... Even if a litt…

My programming productivity has improved a lot with Claude Code. One thing I've noticed is that I don't have a circle of people where I can discus programming with, and having an L…

Incredible work on the CSS and SVG! But liquid glass is such a horrible idea for a UI! Now I feel like an old person, but I live with glasses every day and absolutely love clean UI…

I'm a big believer that animations need to validate what you already know, they aren't the information itself. This means, if you turned animations off you would still work as fast…

I like this pattern. When an API commits to /v1 it doesn't mean it will deprecate /v1 when /v2 or /v3 come out, it just means we're committing to supporting older URI strategies an…

With every technological leap we have pushback, it's natural. I'm sure people complained that hammers were a useless invention and why would anyone not want to keep using rocks.

210 columns is stripes

If knowledge and experience isn't an issue, then LLMs will benefit the programmer less in that space, but are still useful for doing mundane activities you avoid doing, like pivoti…

Very much so, not sure why, but if it has a limited context history of the conversation, the tone may feel off. It feels physically jarring when it loses the plot with a conversati…

I get your position, and I don't want to sound dismissive, but when you really learn how to manage an LLM for a complex piece of software far beyond what you have time for, you see…

Well, it takes a while to learn Vim and then get value from it. It also takes a while to learn using an LLM and get value from it. The keys are how to build prompts, ways of workin…

I'm having some unique problems with GPT-5 that I've not seen with GPT-4. It seems to lose the thread of the conversation quite abruptly, not really knowing how to answer the next …

Yeah, maybe you're right. The point that I'm probably missing (and others) is that we associate the phrase 'Vibe Coding' with 'Using an LLM to help with coding' and they're not the…
