    Embers can jump kilometers when its windy. At some point it gets kind of silly, no? Here in Sweden we had a large fire that jumped a lake.

    Ah, yes, I started thinking about William Gibsons work right away when thinking about people just using powerful AIs, but being hamstrung by corporations. He writes a lot of about …

    In Sweden I always heard the figure to double the income of the person to get what the company actually pays, including taxes and "employers fee". I know this has gone down a lot i…

    Heh, the "small virtual machine" was NOT a lie! Is that less than 200 lines? Very nice! Now I feel like integrating that into various things....

    11k euro is INSANELY cheap? Afaik there is absolutely no way to the same thing legally here in Sweden. Unless prices have really fallen off a cliff.

    But should developers be barred from asking an LLM to try secure their own app? Its not different from finding exploits...

    This is one of a few reason I strongly prefer GPT and its codex variants. It seldom frustrates me, sure its not omnipotent in any way, but it just feels very "tuned in" when it com…

    For the longest time I was so focused on getting to use an android as a "good" mic for a windows PC. Scrcpy was a very hot contender, but I never got it to work well enough with lo…

    Meshtastic did, in a way. There are roles and settings to disable rebroadcasts, then you are effectively a client. And it is used to preserve battery.

    Skill loss is real. BUT, I have been complaining about skill loss to my bosses for literally a decade. So AI is just one problem for me. I was coding less and less every year for s…

    I AM mad, because I just signed up for my private copilot sub. Otoh I do have it at work. I suspect we will start noticing differences there, too, but it all depends on the top use…

    Wow, having a corp. account I do wonder WHEN we are getting some kind of resctriction of usage, or require us to justify our usage. That GPT4-mini change is going to be brutal! Its…

    Ive also had huge problems with copilot and terminals, mostly due to corporate antivirus which makes it impossible to install clink for example. So the Shell integration never real…

    "Re-attaching repeatedly showed the program was not deadlocked." Why re-attaching and not just resume then ctrl+c ? Is this some kind of clever hack I dont know about.
