    I can’t get over how bad “Rovo” is. Somehow more aggressive and useless than Microsoft putting “Copilot” everywhere. It’s objectively worse than using something like Cowork + MCP, …

    Very nice. This brings GNU/HURD features to about the year 1995 which is impressive for its brief 35 year existence.

    Genesis is the prologue for the rest of the Torah, which is about the Hebrews. It's not supposed to be read in isolation to everything else. "impossible to understand how the Book …

    To Grok's credit I think it's fairly good as a creative writing tool because it can be very "spontaneous" and it naturally seems to use an informal style. It also lacks a lot of th…

    I have noticed in very long context Claude chats (not Code) it will start to push ending the conversation. I’ve seen patterns like “this is an excellent place to wrap up” or “this …

    Cool article, but Silpheed is a genuinely awful game. Just warning if you are tempted to play it after this lol

    Not only does Claude not look at all the files, it doesn’t even look at the entire contents of the files it does read, since the tool seems to be a pager!

    Yeah I agree completely, especially because Redis is one of the easiest things to set up. This feels like the wages of tokenmaxxing lol

    Why is the Genesis so slow? I've used Linux on other m68k "workstations" and it seemed ok.

    “The word “capitalism” would not be coined for another 3,800 years. Adam Smith was 3,700 years from picking up his pen.” This is pretty bad writing lol. Markets are as old as civil…

    George Hotz’s entire tenure as a Twitter “intern” was so hilariously embarrassing. And the entire preamble at the time about basically “purging the parasites” and Heroic 100x Coder…

    Sure, the current Torment Nexus buildout might be a bubble. But just think: in 10 years we will already have all this torment infrastructure built, ready to use.

    Fable + Ultracode has found a bunch of bugs and issues for me when the workflow agents are doing their exploration. Also the "adversarial" agent seems to surface a lot of interesti…

    The trade actually involved different measurements. The shekel (silver, commodity-money) was weighed by the Sumerian purchaser and then given to the trader in Dilmun (he would lite…
