One thing that drives me nuts every time I save a new file or 'save as'. File chooser appears and I automatically start typing to enter/change the filename. But the filter input al…

“a 30% slowing of cognitive decline in early Alzheimer’s patients in controlled trials. None of this is in the marketing on the tub sitting in most gym bags” Why would it be? I’m s…

"This is the killer issue" I have to ask - did you use AI to generate this response?

I’ve started using HTML for reports recently. But I always use a markdown file as an intermediate and tell the LLM to generate a fancier version of it with SVG for graphs/pictures …

Or your provider randomly decides you need to be on an enterprise plan: https://robindev.substack.com/p/cloudflare-took-down-our-web...

I switched to Niri ( https://github.com/niri-wm/niri ) about six months ago and I find it does wonders for focus. Set the default window width to 1/4 or 1/3 of the screen width (de…

And that’s fine because that photo (probably) has some utility to you. The 39.99MB of ads accompanying the 2KB of text you want to read possibly has less utility to you.

I'm amazed that I had to scroll this far to find a comment on this. Then again, I don't live in the US.

Given that Gemini seems to have frequent availability issues, I wonder if this is a strategy to offload low-hanging fruit (from a human-effort pov) to the user. If it is, I think t…

If they agree to mine crypto for you then you send valid data. Is this a win-win? (I feel I need to preemptively state that I am being sarcastic.)

I'm being trite, but if you can detect an AI bot, why not just serve them random data? At least they'll be sharing some of the pain they inflict.

Isn't CUDA a pretty good moat for Nvidia?

I think finding a meaningful way recognise a significant contributor in a way that doesn’t really impact anyone is something to be encouraged. I imagine that most people would use …
