I have written a couple of eval harnesses to see how well LLMs drive software I have written. Basically I have data analysis software that I need LLMs to write code for. The code i…

I'm as anti-car and pro-bike as they come. Cars and trucks are a much bigger danger than e-bikes... But California's clear tiers of ebike regulations are meaningless without enforc…

is webkitgtk different than the engine used in safari?

Mr. President, we must not allow a mine-shaft gap!

I think another factor is that people are rejecting the rounded corners and excessive padding of modern web design, you can't do that in a TUI, so you don't have a designer or stan…

I'd be really interested to see SGI on this chart. When did consumer hardware exceed what you could do on an SGI box? I think Sun and HP had some 3d capabilities, but it was mostly…

https://www.sheldonbrown.com/ https://www.vannattabros.com/dozer.html -- A detail page from the site, not well organized but so much great info about heavy equipment and logging.

I would think visidata could. https://www.visidata.org/

Slightly related to the article. I have a personal cargo bike. The most fun that I have with it is giving friends a ride home from a party. People instantly start giggling and laug…

What do you want in your datagrip alternative. I'm working on some stuff, and interested to hear how people approach data with LLMs

I'm not concerned about making money from it, I just want to use it. I'd like to check to see if I'm re-inventing the wheel. I'm curious if others would like a similar experience.

Has anything like this been built? I want a system that enforces planning, tests, and adversarial review (preferably by a different company's model). This is more for features, les…

I’m not running fleets of gpus so I’m not your target market, but can you tell me more about who is doing this type of large scale training outside of companies like anthropic, Ope…

I am getting really tired of github. outages happen that's a given. but on so much stuff they don't even care or try. Github is becoming the bottleneck in my agentic coding workflo…

It helps with latency too or schedule padding. Bus schedules are unreliable because of all the stops which slow them down and encourage bunching of busses on a route with a lot of …

I'd love to read a writeup of the state of Rust GUI and the ecosystem if you could point me at one.

That's a great idea, and I was just thinking about how it would pair with self hosted CI of some type. Basically what I would want is write a commit (because I want to commit early…

I can't take this comment seriously unless you are buying snow tires. If you have snow tires, and you still can't get where you want in the winter, sure get 4wd. I had a RWD pickup…

Same. Where are you, want to hit the trails sometime?

I wish more programmers would pay attention to how productive power users in different can be with their tools. Look at CAD competitions. I wonder if there are video editting compe…
