    That is a perfectly valid opinion and POV to have. While I don't share it personally, I can totally understand why one has it. That does not change, that I personally actually do n…

    Yes. More than one. This one was especially "interesting", a security researcher was tasked by a company to evaluate the ERP (I believe would be the acronym) software. Diiscovered …

    Same. And I built a search tool for that repository of older sessions, so that I can search through those on all my machines. This helps me to be able to pick something up on a mac…

    I found Kimi3 (currently only a few tests) to be not to bad. Older Claude versions (did not yet test it with the 4.8-5 generation. I do not really like (even if it is my daily driv…

    Calling it a “1 hour flight” is a bit misleading when comparing transport options. The relevant number is door-to-door travel time. Once you include getting out of Stockholm to the…
