Anthropic bought Bun, so they kinda, sorta had to make this work. I am sure the cost at $145,000 in Claude time will get some attention. I am curious how this will work going forwa…

It's funny you should say that, because the next release apparently directly addresses this. Including startup to tray. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/close-tray-starting-154…

Incredibly well said.

ne.general, alt.fan.karl-malden.nose, meowww wars, Stephen Boursey. Anyone else old?

Nitpick: It's called Contributor and supposedly has the same features of the previous subscription. It still feels like a setup for future degradation by some marketing genius.

The whole section that introduces Zaphod is so apt for Trump. It talks about the president's position not being to concentrate power, but to distract attention FROM it. It really f…

I used to follow the balloon projects that hams would launch. A mylar balloon with a tiny 50 milliwatt transmitter and GPS, solar powered on the 10Mhz band tracked thousands of mil…

You’re right — H-1B is dual intent. But my main point still stands: conflating H-1Bs with “immigrants hollowing out the middle class” is misleading. H-1B was designed to address sh…

I've seen plenty and even tossed them as streamers as a kid. I've also seen many scratched CDs lying at the side of the road.

It’s important to clarify that H-1B is a non-immigrant visa — you don’t get to stay if you lose your job. That matters because the debate isn’t about immigration itself but about h…

I often wonder why compact disc was the bridge technology to full digital and not DAT.

I'm probably not thinking this through, so go easy, but why wouldn't tracked panels also produce a normalized power curve? My assumption behind the question is that they follow the…

The TT creator, John Aravosis, said recently on his show that it took TT 3 days to figure out he is gay and he said he never interacted with it in any way that would convey that. O…

When Zuck said on Jan 7th, 2025, that he wants to work with President Trump to oppose states threatening free speech, he wasn't talking about China. It was 100% the EU and its regu…

When I was just starting my career around the late 1980s, I wrote a program on the Psion for a chain store in the UK that had 21 stores. Basically a person would walk the aisles an…

It is poorly written, with some atrocious dialog. I watched it all because the story intrigued me, but all I kept thinking was, "The last season of GoT was shit for THIS?"

The excellent YouTuber "Plainly Difficult" covered this story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCwWX_9grrE

I always tell my gun-hoarding, go-box toting, bug-out planning prepper friends the same thing. You don't have enough guns and ammo to stop the masses coming for your canned pork'n'…

So much for the Brisling Sardines industry. We hardly knew ye.

I have been confused by Quantum Computing and have been reading and watching as much as possible on the topic. I can never seem to grasp the potential. I keep thinking about classi…

What a wonderful calling to have had in life.

I have always felt that the problem with the plastic recycling is that there is a lack of an economy. If you sell a yogurt for $1.99 I don’t care about what happens to the containe…

I don't understand the reply either. The link shows clearly how it works and that it's about managing water levels, not pond elimination. Many times these ponds are secondary, and …

It reminds of the story of the de Havilland Comet, which had a bad habit of breaking up in mid-air. Engineers submerged the fuselage of the plane in and out of deep water to simula…

Even solar panels over a bank of Superchargers is essentially a marketing exercise. An array over a 20 acre parking lot? Now you're talking.
