Don't Anthropic and OpenAI both offer the same thing built in? What are the difference with this service?

>they do not want to pay a subscription. This is wrong in 2026. Lots of people want to pay. See: TFA What they don't want is and _still_ see ads, get hassled by needy marketing ema…

That's how it has to be. Volunteer community doesn't have the bandwidth to make everything maximally user friendly. Users have to do their share too, by accepting the responsibilit…

There's a spectrum of writing, corresponding to supply/demand or push/pull. The article is giving advice for oversupplied writing, where the audience doesn't really want to hear yo…

This was a very confusing article, full of filler. I couldn't stand to read the "detective story" style. Sounds like the technique is for high-dimensional ellipsoids. It relies on …

>You can give a quick explanation in terms they understand, which makes your job sound easy and makes them wonder how anybody gets paid to do it. What is the problem with this? Mos…

If we assume 100 colonists on the ship, with 10 tons of mass per person, accelerating to 0.2c over 2 ly and then back down, the energy required is quite substantial. Multiple centu…

With Alpha Centauri being only 4 light years away, interstellar travel seems almost feasible. But then you consider all the inconvenient details, and realize such a journey would h…

Usually, animals move around while digesting. They don't just eat the food, immediately digest it, and poop on the spot like a cartoon.

>Most of this carnivorous botany is small, but the diversity of different trapping mechanisms raises an evolutionary question. Isn't the obvious conclusion that: 1. There are many …

Wouldn't animal scavengers pick the carcass clean long before it rots?

RWD on an electric truck, lol. What a joke.

It seems performative. They remove a bunch of stuff nobody ever complained about, like paint or radio. Meanwhile it still has an app and it's still electric with pitiful range. The…

The most interesting point in this is that people don't/can't fully utilize LLMs. Not exposing the system prompt is a great example. Totally spot on. However the example (garry ema…

It's not really YAGNI if you need it to debug, is it?

Fascinating! Here's 4 prompts on gpt4 with same system prompt and everything: > With the assumption that you can dry two towels simultaneously in two hours, you would likely need a…

LLMs currently have the "eager beaver" problem where they never push back on nonsense questions or stupid requirements. You ask them to build a flying submarine and by God they'll …

Yes let's not say what's wrong with the tech, otherwise someone might (gasp) fix it!

First of all, loyalty happens when both sides have moats. I'm not talking here about the case where one side is very loyal and the other is very disloyal - I'd rather call that "su…

This focuses on case where the acquirer seeks to capture the value of the startup's business. But this is not always the case, sometimes the startup is dubious, but a cash-rich ent…

The main reason for me is that terminal programs are just less crappy, because people who develop them try much harder. The terminal itself strikes me as a terrible platform - no t…

Probably harder to monetize traffic and upsell subscription extras. I agree, if it's all done on the client anyway, it should just be a local app.

I think the problem is the disconnect between learning vs passing. The goal of writing a book report is supposed to be to develop your brain and improve some skills. But society ca…

Luckily I use a much better *top, btop.
