    If you don't have enough of a mastery over a subject to rapidly respond, maybe you are not fit to pass exam certifying your mastery over a subject.

    Where did that trend start? Who writes like that, with emoji bullet points? I'm seeing it around, but surely nobody looks at that and says "yeah that's good"?

    I also have a "homelab" with minimal maintenance requirements. I'd wager it works out to much less than 15 minutes a month over a year. The strategy is as follows: pin all services…

    Hang on, can you actually do something nefarious with just the bank account number?

    I usually don't like the "read the article" replies, but in this case it's warranted - the second section explains how multiple transactions interact there, and the "deleted" recor…

    Hang on, so you are arguing that responsibility for your product is just a phase you grow out of as a company?

    Still does not. My approach is to keep the file in OneDrive. On windows / mac it's just a file, on android it's via custom onedrive protocol handler but also seamless.

    Keepassxc is local first and has password history. Check it out before building.

    For the biggest languages, Spanish, French, maybe. For smaller ones like my native Latvian, the output could be confused for good translation from across the room, the words do loo…

    So the correct strategy is a global CLAUDE.md with couple lines of colourful "you best behave or else" texts, so all your prompts get routed via the frustrated path?

    As far as I know, Elegoo is offline. It has not asked me to log in anywhere, and while it encourages use of their own orcaslicer skin, it works with others too.

    That used to be the case. Less so now - the Chinese brands tend to work right out of the box. I run an Elegoo Centauri Carbon ar home, and the building and managing process was uns…

    You are most likely referring to the EU covid certificate. It functioned as a proof of vaccination or recent negative test, and yeah, that was required for travel at one point. And…

    In Latvia we've had digital id for close to 20 years. Banks mostly use their own auth, some rely on digital id. No travel service has ever wanted me to use digital id, let alone an…

    IP_7 means it's ok with water immersion for up to 30 minutes, down to 1m. You can go swimming with an IP_7 rated device. IP_8 is "more than 1m, more than 30min water immersion" rat…

    What do you mean by societal hooks? The ability to be at peace, in my world view, stems first and foremost from the ability to be at peace with yourself. Being able to look in a me…

    I'll second your feeling on Annihilation trilogy. To me, the whole message boiled down to "my life kinda sucked, and now it sucks even more". The phenomenon ostensibly at the cente…

    How so? Good bit of my global claude.md is dedicated to fighting the incessant attribution in git commits. It is on the same level as the "sent from my iphone" signature - I'm not …

    What stands out to me the most: > Blog post written, PR'd, and merged in under 3 minutes. It's close to or even faster than the time it takes me to read it. I'm struggling to put i…

    I believe it's less about politeness and more about pronouns. You used `who`, whereas I would use `what` in that sentence. In my world view, a LLM is far closer to a fridge than th…

    GDPR says you are not allowed to store my data just because. If you have a good enough reason, everything is allowed.

    I'd counter that n8n (or most other workflow tools) can handle as much ambiguity as OpenClaw - it has a LLM call node. Stuff the ambiguous parts in there, but don't burn a rainfore…
