    I tried it through siliconflow (I have no relationship to them other than as a normal customer) with the command line Pi agent and it's pretty good at adding features to a rust lan…

    For sure -- but these are the 'exceptions that prove the rule'. Someone else mentioned HTTP3 and QUIC. For all of these, there are thousands of projects (including multiplayer game…

    I'm sure all of this is "correct", but the fact is that many of us (myself included) enjoyed years of trouble-free service from our Commodore 1541 disk drives. And we could easily …

    I had no trouble with it once I realized it wanted me to drag the border area.

    You kind of covered this in your last point but it's worth emphasizing: we generally don't know for sure whether "correcting" a low serum vitamin D reading helps out in some way or…

    Still, 170,000 - 1.2M years is a fairly short amount of time if we go back only to the common ancestor who begat progeny that would become Pan and Autralopithecus (around 12 millio…

    Lots of people throwing shade at Gemini CLI in the comments. I'm not saying it's perfect, but I enjoy using it. I haven't tried antigravity at all yet. I hope it will be an experie…

    Yeah, that quote was definitely cringe for me. But I'm glad they made something that made them happy.

    Dont' get it twisted, anyone; plenty of companies have a reputation to maintain for this reason (but don't do this). This is an absurdly generous severance package.

    Yes, but I wouldn't stop watching the originals. And I wouldn't stop watching anything until I saw what came out.

    Ugh. I hate these "guilt by association" hit pieces. Nothing is wrong and yet we must signal our virtue. Might as well just open our pants and wave our wangers, hoping for a better…

    Lots of handwaving about fear of rust changing too often and even MORE downvoting of this as if there is no concern whatever. Neither of these extremes are valid. For me it comes d…

    TBF, it's certainly best practice, advised by the model providers themselves, to cut sessions short and start new ones. Anthropic's "Best Practices" doc[0] for Claude Code states, …

    Qwen3-Coder produced much better rust code (that utilized rust's x86-64 vectorized extensions) a few months ago than Claude Opus or Google Gemini could. I was calling it from harne…
