    Allowing anything other than plain text in email bodies was a terrible mistake.

    Kagi handles this perfectly, IMO. Defaults to normal search, but invokes an LLM if a `?` is appended to the query.

    I was able to find the references (including photos of the mentioned forearms) on PubMed and the RIMJ after a quick search. Paraquat is nasty stuff. - [0] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.n…

    What codec is your media in, and what are your players? I've virtually never had JF try to transcode something for me on the fly

    if it's good and it works well, then the human using the LLM did a good job, and need not credit their LLM of choice as one would not credit their rubber duck.

    This looks cool and I've downloaded it. Clicking on the "free" tier on the subscription page brings you into Stripe checkout for the $6 tier, FYI.

    I use the great, free, "Suspicious Package" app [0] to inspect installers like these. In fact, it was Supertone Shift's installer that prodded me to seek it out (I happened to find…

    i have found the recent crop of SotA LLMs to be extremely useful for the latter few tasks you mentioned. Give it my full, comprehensive CV, as well as a prospective job description…

    Impressive. I've never dealt with a situation where even `rm` failed, but I have had the displeasure of using and managing modern Macs with 256 GB (or less) of internal storage. I …

    There are a few, but these links should get you started and hint at future keywords for search. The first link is the one I was thinking of, but there are more. YMMV with link 3 (s…

    The flip side of being "exempt" is that you still get the salary even if you actually work very little. Last time I got into the legal language of the classification (May 2020, as …

    I'm very keenly interested on what their underlying tech/model is — I couldn't find any detailed information.

    Storage is also horrifyingly cheap these days. Was just looking at recertified enterprise HDDs – can get a 20TB drive for $200. Wish I had some more spare change lying around!

    I also pretty much gave up on running split DNS for internal stuff at home. avahi & .local just works enough of the time (though definitely not all of the time).

    This is a really great write up, very clear and easy to follow. Was very impressed at your pure bash barcode generator. I'm eager to try this out on my own library card!

    What are you using to configure or manage Insteon devices without the hub? did you grab one of their modems or plms?
