    They make a "universal charger" for this express purpose. It even has the adapter embedded in the holster, so you can either grab just the NACS connector, or the connector + J1772 …

    > However according to Bambu, Pawel specifically modified Orca to make it look like BambuStudio "Specifically modifying" as in "not even touching that part of the code in the fork"…

    I had one, broke 2 screens before I gave up wearing it... It's really not meant to be work in daily life, which is sad because an e-paper screen makes a lot of sense on a watch.

    Mine had been upgraded from 4GB of RAM to 8GB, and I replaced the HDD with an SSD, and replaced the DVD drive with the original HDD for more storage. Was a nice machine for uni, I …

    Attacks like this are not helped by the increasingly-common "curl | bash" installation instructions (e.g. the new "native" Claude Code install)... Publish through homebrew like a c…

    A loop I've found that works pretty well for bugs is this: - Ask Claude to look at my current in-progress task (from Github/Jira/whatever) and repro the bug using the Chrome MCP. -…

    I switched to Zed from a tmux/nvim setup. I think Zed is the first editor I've tried that has a good enough Vim mode for me to switch and keep my built-up muscle memory.

    It would obviously need to be accompanied with rigorous enforcement of employee classification. I know there would be a bunch of possible ways to game this, so there are a lot of o…

    I think there should perhaps be a law that any corporation automatically has a new class of un-tradeable VOTING shares, worth 50% of the overall vote, held by the employees. Everyb…

    Yeah, I saw "AI winter" mentioned elsewhere in the thread... IMO there is a real qualitative difference between AI and crypto in terms of the durable impact it's going to have on t…

    Both can be true at the same time. Similar to the early days of the Internet, the dot-com bubble eventually popped, but the Internet (and dot-coms, for that matter) didn't go away.…

    My recent experience with getting an app deployed from Gitlab to a kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean was exactly like this. There were like 3 or 4 different third-party technologi…

    One area where it really shines for me is personal projects. You know, the type of projects you might get to spend a couple hours on once the kids are in bed... Spending that coupl…

    True, but it's harder to reject changes in one file, make a quick fix, etc. I like to keep control over my git repo as it's a very useful tool for supervising the AI.

    It's also very easy to throw away unstaged changes, and to stage exactly what you want. I treat the staging process ("git add") as a code review.

    I tend to have auto-accept on for edits, and once Claude is done with a task I'll just use git to review and stage the changes, sometimes commit them when it's a logical spot for i…

    Yeah, I think it's pretty clear to a lot of people that LLMs aren't at the "build me Facebook, but for dogs" stage yet. I've had relatively good success with more targeted tasks, l…

    I'm in a similar boat. I've only started using it more very recently, and it's really helping my "white-page syndrome" when I'm starting a new feature. I still have to fix a bunch …

    There was no real payload on this, so I'd argue it's closer to a QA environment than production. It's true that other rocket companies are treating launches as production, but Spac…

    Oh okay, you call routers "motors"; that's what threw me off. But yeah, price-gouging in Canada is nothing new; even factoring exchange rates it should be ~180 CAD.

    This one is relatively portable; everything is self-contained on the sled. It just needs four anchors points, and it'll auto-detect where they are in relation to each other during …

    $125 motor? What are you talking about? The kit costs $525, and yes you need to supply a trim router (they recommend the Dewalt DWP611 which I paid $269 CAD for, but members of the…

    Cables are kevlar-reinforced belts and the machine knows how long they are and how much tension in on them so it's relatively easy to compute how much they'd stretch under most con…
