I see a lot of discourse about it being fast-to-deprecation. But I see it a different way personally. Modern LLMs are trying to do more with less. Focus on doing the right thing th…

My company moved to GH Actions 6 months ago even after I pushed back with a "Are you sure given their reliability issues of late?" Now I'm stuck twiddling my thumbs with PR checks …

There's a PLIST entry possibly relevant to it in `~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkserviceproxy.plist` I couldn't figure out how to get any changes to reflect but maybe it's …

My least favorite ones are the ones that fit in the rails to the left and right of the content that scroll with you. You can't click anywhere without an accidental ad click. Using …

True, we have way too many thematic versions of Monopoly. I'm still missing so many copies.

It's getting really hard to find a solid, reputable brand of screen manufacturers that don't pull this kind of crap. I swore off Samsung screens after their popup ads in phones and…

I have been using Plex since 2014, paid for the lifetime pass back then. It is by-far the most used piece of software I've ever relied on (excluding any general purpose software li…

This reminds me immensely of DARK Basic built by The Game Creators. It was how I got my start into programming back in the day.

I've found personally it's better to use AI to build a deterministic script for calculations like that. (anything that manipulates data should be a script not an AI).

I mean if you want to spend $200, and get a guaranteed amount of tokens in return you should be using the API. I agree there should be more transparency what 20x gets you that 5x d…

I mean you got me there. There will be places who do have the means to build up massive GPU servers. There's just a lot more to it and I don't know if we're going to pinpoint an ex…

Literally this. Every response initially was "we don't see that and we let it sit for weeks". Now there's just no response from devs. I was unable to browse past more than 1 or 2 p…
