Odd lots podcast had an interesting snippet about an financial institution that uses AI to make loan decisions. The guest said that they only use it on applicants who were rejected…

Can this take vague ideas, do iterative design with me, and breakdown tasks to then pass off to agents to build? I was playing with a very similar project recently that was more fo…

I have been using Superset ( https://superset.sh/ ) and it has worked really well to automate creating & deleting worktrees, with their own terminals, and keeping everything organi…

I agree, I have 'written' a handful of rubocop rules that are hyper specific to the codebase I work on. I never would have bothered before claude code. Stuff like using out custom …

so apparently they have custom hardware that is basically absolutely gigantic chips - across the scale of a whole wafer at a time. Presumably they keep the entire model right on ch…

Yes this is the output speed. Code just flashes onto the page, it's pretty impressive. They've claimed repeatedly in their discord that they don't quantize models. The speed of thi…

I find AI is most useful at the ancillary extra stuff. Things that I'd never get to myself. Little scripts of course, but more like "it'd be nice to rename this entire feature / db…

So it's a pig butchering scam basically. but you 'earn' your money, so it feels even more valid to put in some money to get it back?

mind sharing that template? Sounds nice.

weird - I had never heard of Jellycats as a brand, but last night I went to go buy a second copy of my toddler's favorite lovey (since the first will inevitably get ruined at some …

A few thoughts after ~5 minutes: * I like how the map moves around. It helps nail down relationships to neighbors * I don't mind a few extra "Where's canada", even though it's not …

In the US, I don't believe morse is required for any tier of license anymore. For sure, I have my general and don't know it.

A dipole is a very simple antenna, and pretty efficient. There are other shorter options that have worse performance too, but perhaps more suitable for an adhoc tree deployment. (r…

In 2021 I lost a good chunk of weight the old fashioned way. From 250ish to 215. I did it with "good old fashioned working out and not eating more". It was a miserable, white-knuck…

I generally support this. When dealing with API endpoints especially I like to wrap them in a class that ends up being. I also like having nested data structures as their own class…

It seems sort of weird to keep pushing the chat interface so hard into programming. For 'real' usage, it seems like Cursor or Aider approaches work better, since you end up having …

I just wish my QTH was quieter. I have so much interference here it's not worth doing anything other than FT8 / JS8Call here. On the other hand, the Icom7300 is totally fine used s…

This made me think of a question I've had for a bit now. What is the cheapest way to get a grid of buttons that wires into a laptop (mac if it matters) to play sound effects? My wi…

also there are legal ways to force somebody to give up a title without their consent. Lawsuits, divorce and so on.

There are some hybrid RTS/First Person Shooter games sorta like that. A commander who can place buildings or resources, and ping locations, and has a birds eye view, and then grunt…

I work on a codebase that's at least 10 years old, and has thousands of files. Aider by comparison can't even load files into context due to its slowness with this many files. Ther…

I have been playing with plandex off and on for a bit now, and I like it's approach. It's not trying to be a fully automated developer, but it does a lot more than copilot does. Th…

Yeah, I'm glad they started including built in gpu so there's something there, but beyond booting to a desktop I wouldn't use this graphics for anything else. But if you're just ru…

I looked at upgrading my existing AMD based system's ram for this purpose, but found out my mobo/cpu only supports 128gb of ram. Lots, but not as much as I had hoped I could shove …

My dad has survived ~10 years now with ALK lung cancer due to this family of drugs. It was surprise stage 4, with no warning. Had a 6 month prognosis, but instead he's still with u…
