Having binged on a bunch of modern British detective fiction in the last year or so - Rhys Dylan as an example. The reliance on cameras in society, yes it is fiction, but there is …

OpenAIs $20 plan has been more useful than ClaudeCode 20x max both in terms of price and performance. I was dealing with something around authz/n with Claude code running Fable. It…

need bigger check to guy in DC

So the word security or any topic related to it is mentioned and it flips to an older gen model? Fable is nearly useless now it you do anything around auth.

I think Moore's Law and related have made programming sloppy. AI is building on that. There was a time where accounting for memory, footprint, stability, and speed mattered. Your p…

My numbers were based on when I was looking, not current Trump f’d up weird economy.

There is a market for it. Cheap. Good range on a tank. 4WD. I've got a 2016 Tacoma TRD Offroad. It's only got about 115k miles (bought it new). I'm not planning on replacing it - t…

The model is the important part, a huffman code or adaptive huffman or other sorts of encoders would be much better on a dataset based on the model. You need the model to also deco…

I liked the mid-2000s, gigaom and techcrunch actually had articles worth reading (not all, TC got sorta gossipy rag at one point). Om's were generally well thought out.

While not directly a zine, I'm liking some of the small format game publications (mostly modules and add ons) in the Shadowdark / OSR / MOthership ecosystem. Something small, conci…

I've played with crypto enough to be amused, like you I like some of the tech - especially the Hedera eco-system. Dabbling in crypto helped me help the wife start a plant store we …

While in college, my advisor / professor I worked for took me to HP Labs off Page Mill. I recall entering and seeing a sea of cubicles. That said, I enjoyed hearing the stories of …

In the west the employee / employer social contract died sometime in the 80s. It's rare, especially in tech, to have employees with decades of tenure. You see Microsoft trying to b…

Google AI responses are generally crap and annoying. I've gone back to DDG or if I need some context - very specific guidance for claude/chatgpt. Goodle's AI is generally inadequat…
