At the end of the day, it is my job as a parent to steer my kids out of harm’s way, be it the alley where they will find the local dealer, the park where people are injecting at ni…

This wins the internet this week!

Claude Code is not just a harness. It is a different product. You pick the smallest subscription that allows you to do your work. My “multiplier” on a $100 subscription is 5+. If y…

I use both Claude and Codex, but mostly Claude for planning and coding, and Codex to review Claude’s work. I follow a sort of waterfall workflow which is verbose but fully transpar…

ORMs have their place but they are leaky as hell. RDMSs are very diverse, have different languages, and require different optimisation techniques. ORMs that try to paper over all t…

Great stuff, well done and super useful!

Tools that remove the fat seem like a good idea, but I’m highly suspicious of their effect on the LLM’s reasoning. LLMs were trained in the typical full-fat output found everywhere…

Not exactly. Apple kept it for existing users but stopped offering it to new users. So new users are vulnerable.

I think this is very interesting but you need a better slogan. Many people here made comments such as “why do I need another SVC since agents are pretty good with git”, which means…

I don’t know if you are a parent of teenagers. Where I live in the UK, teenagers don’t use phone. They only communicate via chat. Relatively large sample (several schools, year gro…

I let her have WhatsApp when she was 13. She’s autistic and couldn’t disconnect at all. Her friends got pissed off with her because of something that was said on a chat. She lost h…

None of this prohibition works. Kids will find ways around it, authorities will get stricter, rinse and repeat. A total shitshow. A lot of people mentioning off-license/booze/tobac…

I got tired of Claude adding their signatures to my commits against my instructions (the settings schema changed at some point), so I added a commit-msg hook that blocks multi-line…

I think of my iPhone as a phone plus a mobile browser plus a biometric device. It has a lot of memory and a lot of compute power but that is just because all the crap sites and app…

Fair enough. My kids are learning to drive and “how fast should I go” is a constant topic in my family right now. Just yesterday I saw a learner driving at what seemed 10 mph in a …

Not American, buddy, so I don’t have skin in the game. But it looks extremely bad when people who got rich in the Silicon Valley engage in politics like this. Even if one disagrees…

That is pretty sad. People would rather spend money on political activism instead of supporting their home state. Imagine if they said instead - no need for tax, here is 15 billion…

Two marathons will never be run in the same conditions, that is the nature of outdoor sports. Besides weather, there are loads of factors in the performance: shoes, clothes, food, …

Damn was thinking km/h. Thanks for the correction.

~~A car going as fast as him would have gotten a speeding ticket in the residential areas of Wales. Crazy.~~ Edit: I was thinking in km/h and mixed it up. Sorry.

I love programming, but I don’t love working. I’m about 10 years away from retiring and can’t wait. Does that count? ;-)

Exactly what I posted as well!

AI isn’t creating the problem, it is just showing the problem. Those who did not want to learn before AI did so reluctantly, mixing Google and SO. Now they ask AI. An existing prob…

The same “forgetting pattern” can be said of assembly, hardware, combustion cars, radio, heck, even making fire. There will always be specialists who can really debug stuff. Mechan…

This is stupid. Smoking has high social negative externality. It causes cancer to the smoker and to others around the smoker. Who pays for the treatment of those affected? All tax …
