I was using GPT 5.5 for a bunch of work this morning. It's brilliant and efficient. I was also using GPT 5.4 mini. It gets the job done and works great for subtasks that 5.5 design…

Ugh, the slop. "That's not a benchmark row. That's a story."

If there's limited hardware but ample cash, it doesn't make sense to sell compute-intensive services to the public while you're still trying to push the frontier of capability.

5.3 Codex is $1.75/$14, and 5.4 is $2.50/$15.

Same. On the tip of main, at least, I can open the command palette and choose reset to bring it back to life. I set a keybinding for reset to skip the command palette.

I actually don't understand what I'm missing. I'm using two old monitors, a 27" at 2560x1440 and a 23.5" at 1920x1080 (in addition to my high DPI Framework 13 screen). How else can…

This could be worse, too. With more machines being identical, the same security hole reliably shows up everywhere (albeit not necessarily at the same time). Sometimes the heterogen…

I switched to Helix 2 years ago after 28 years of emacs and didn't look back. My emacs config was huge, and I didn't enjoy all the tweaking I was doing to get LSPs to work the way …

The US defense budget, as a percentage of GDP, has been cut a huge amount! https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ms.mil.xpnd.gd.zs?locat... If you don't think it makes sense to scal…

This sounds similar to Horton Hears a Who.

I think you can fix this with the setting "Click items to autofill on Vault view".

I think it's because Android very aggressively swaps out third-party background apps. https://dontkillmyapp.com/

I never understood why calories in == calories out was relevant when we can't know how many unprocessed calories are remaining undigested. Here's what the bots had to say: https://…

I clicked once and closed the page because you can't tell me what to do (more than once).

I've been using it for a month or two on top of my work git repos. It's great, but I have a few complaints. It doesn't support creating git tags, it doesn't support git submodules,…

I had a boss who was pretty excited about CueCat. It's funny that it took another 15 years to catch on as smartphones and QR codes!

I used it in a situation where replacing Python code with a C-implemented module was not efficient because there were too many small objects being marshaled in and out of PyObjects…

The online newsletter where you can answer the surveys is free. I sometimes participate in them.

I get these "MLIV Pulse" surveys! No qualifications required - you just need to be on their "Five Things You Need to Know to Start Your Day" newsletter. (I quite like Joe Weisentha…

I don't think someone in the 90s would describe someone else's tea as smelling like kombucha.

Your reference says that's an "Urban Place" and that "Urban Areas" are bigger. The post you responded to linked to something that said 220 million live in 486 "urbanized areas". Si…

Here's a decent explanation: https://www.radartutorial.eu/01.basics/Doppler%20Dilemma.en....
