    Framing this as whether he can convince you the mistype was accidental gets it backwards, and "would I believe X or would I think Y" is preponderance, not reasonable doubt - entire…

    I'm from a region bordering the palatinate region and I'll absolutely back you up on being able to understand them pretty well. There's an amish guy who sometimes pops up on my Tik…

    You clearly haven't played WoW in a decade, judging from this comment. > Even if you buy the expansion just to get the "feel" on how it was, it's impossible. You don't buy previous…

    Yeah, totally valid for things like D&D - I split that out too, for the same reason. Work and homelab overlap constantly for me though. I make heavy use of periodic notes, so even …

    I keep one vault for almost everything because the cross-domain links are where the interesting stuff happens. I studied sociology, political science, and media & communication bef…

    Third-party MCP servers create at least two different security problems. One is prompt/context injection through the tool output. The other is the much more conventional risk of ex…

    "It's not a complaint about water. It's a complaint about the wetness." If capitalism requires constant vigilant government intervention to prevent monopolistic practices, anti-com…

    Any single LLM-edited comment reads fine in isolation. The uncanny valley kicks in when you read thirty of them in a row and they all use the same "it's not X, it's Y" construction…

    > Overall this was a worthwhile assist. I believe (totally understandable) anti-AI animus is coloring a lot of these replies. That, and hindsight bias. People know the second versi…

    Interestingly, when I apply the "simply repeat the prompt" technique [1], Sonnet 4.6 on the website got it right every time, both with and without extended thinking. Not repeating …

    You are essentially amortizing a single dose over 6 months by micro-dosing and receiving a clearly sub-therapeutic dose. While that may work for your specific usage, it doesn't cha…

    I suspect a big reason for why Mounjaro is still fairly expensive here in Germany (I pay nearly €400 for a 10mg Qwickpen - a 12.5mg Qwickpen is nearly €500) is due to health insura…

    It would probably be interesting, but if you are not overweight, the appetite suppression will likely make this not a very healthy or very fun experiment. I started at 5mg in Octob…

    Comment #46964716

    One thing I have noticed on Mounjaro is a (at least subjectively) significant decrease in impulse spending / buying random crap off Amazon. I have ADHD and that has been a real pro…

    Comment #46899783

    Like I said, the first examples are fairly trivial, and you absolutely don't need an LLM for those. A good agent architecture lets the LLM orchestrate but the actual API calls are …

    > But can't you do the same just using appropriate MCP servers with any of the LLM providers? Yeah, absolutely. And that was going to be my approach for a personal AI assistant sid…

    You could, but Claude Code's memory system works well for specialized tasks like coding - not so much for a general-purpose assistant. It stores everything in flat markdown files, …

    Disclaimer: Haven't used any of these (was going to try OpenClaw but found too many issues). I think the biggest value-add is agency. Chat interfaces like Claude/ChatGPT are reacti…

    Not saying the frontier models aren't smarter than the ones I can run on my two 4090s (they absolutely are) but I feel like you're exaggerating the security implications a bit. We'…

    IMO the value and differentiating factor is basically just the ability to organize them cleanly with accompanying scripts and references, which are only loaded on demand. But a ski…

    I don't see how that makes it uniquely viable in France. Germany has something very much like this too. And we've had it for nearly 13 years. > Since 31 August 2013 companies which…

    It's been a few days, but when I tried it, it just completely bricked itself because it tried to install a plugin (matrix) even though that was already installed. That wasn't some …

    From my experience: TDD helps here - write (or have AI write) tests first, review them as the spec, then let it implement. But when I use Claude code, I also supervise it somewhat …
