    I used to hold this opinion but since changing to Rust on the server and Typescript on the client, I can confidently tell you agents are so much better at Rust, especially at produ…

    I suspect he wants the AR features (which require a camera). The no camera HUD is exactly what I want, except I also want SSH (Mosh) and sending text to speech to it before I'd buy…

    Pretty sure this is a performance, but that was a nice touch wasn't it?

    The issue for me is the data privacy if you're using their hosted prices, because you cannot opt out of data collection (and I'm not sure how you'd legally follow up on it if they …

    I think there is now so much passive investing that wall street and tech bros are gaming it, and it's no longer based in reality (fundamentals). I mean Elon's deal to get SPCX shor…

    Yes, it's a very simple concept IMO. Without API access or at least CSV import / export integration w/ a brokerage for automation I don't think I'd use it. I could have an agent us…

    Yeah I couldn't figure that out with Questrade (Canada). It's a pretty new feature, but I think it's great, so I hope they expand their baseline indexes. I was considering writing …

    I was able to create a custom index based on the top 500 that I stripped the big AI stocks from (shovels too). Then I added decent chunks of international, small cap, and treasury …

    pnpm is generally safer and had the age delay much sooner than npm as well.

    At this point, I'm not sure anyone should still be using npm.

    The entire Google Workspace division is basically Microsoft. I assume they are making a lot of money in order to support their continued disfunction.

    The way I frame it is like the space race (except probably more consequential). China is collaborating with and encouraging their industry, definitely leaning into the state sponso…

    Yeah I found 4.7 and 4.8 to be downgrades from 4.6. I don't know if it was the model or just Anthropic's scaling issues though TBH. I found working with the Claude Code max (20x) s…
