I've been satisfied with using Pi inside of srt [0]. I launch with `srt pi` and get file system and network isolation. There is a seemingly infinite risk surface area to protect, b…

Doesn’t using the Anthropic subscription this way get charged as extra usage, and thus effectively billed at API rates?

> The first that will be replaced are going to be those that are using AI mindlessly, because at that point, what are you besides a very expensive human LLM interface? I think this…

Only tangentially related, but does anyone know if it is possible to ‘paste’ images to an agent harness running inside a docker container? My current workaround is to paste it insi…

Alexander the Great visited it in 334 BC: https://greekreporter.com/2025/09/07/alexander-the-great-vis... Edit: this was also mentioned in the article

I added this to `~/.claude/settings.json`: "env": { "CLAUDE_BASH_MAINTAIN_PROJECT_WORKING_DIR": "1" }, > Working directory persists across commands. Set CLAUDE_BASH_MAINTAIN_PROJEC…

Update: I gave it a try and it does exactly what I hoped. However one (minor) annoyance I immediately realized was that with `hex` enabled I will get this warning whenever I close …

The PTY proxy looks pretty neat! Excited to give that a try. Losing some of the scrollback was a minor nuisance that I kind of lived with until now.

Sony WH1000XM5 headphones are my daily driver, mainly Zoom calls and music. I'm generally pretty happy with them, but one big gripe I have is when I'm on a call and briefly take of…

How are investments modeled in this system? e.g I buy $100 of an index fund which can fluctuate in value.

I use the Raycast + Whisper Dictation. I don't think there is anything novel about it, but it integrates nicely into my workflow. My main gripe is when the recording window loses f…

I worked for a company that went bankrupt. They ended up taking several thousand dollars out of my account to cover IIRC unpaid fees to the provider.

This reminded me of this passage from Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom by Ted Chiang: > None of us are saints, but we can all try to be better. Each time you do something genero…

I have an iPhone SE 2nd Generation. After a recent repair I was forced to upgrade to iOS 26. My biggest gripe is the buggy keyboard. It shrinks a bit horizontally every time I open…

I was hoping for more of the author’s own perspective over those ninety years. Instead, it read more like a stitching project of other people's ideas. In particular the barrage of …

I also use stow on MacOS and have been pretty happy with it. > […]although macOS will regularly replace your symlinks with copies of the destination files I’m curious about this cl…

I really liked the display showing me climb the leaderboard in realtime. I found it particularly motivating, albeit a bit distracting for a game where I need to keep my eyes elsewh…

FYI this autoplays full screen video when I visit on iOS + Firefox. Edit: then switches into dark mode after a lag of a few seconds

Feedback: I'm unable to input with keyboard after typing anything but '0' until a full refresh (and selecting the input area with mouse).

Yes, briefly for me. I also lost access to Fastmail.

The 'correct' way to pronounce NumPy is 'num-pie', but my brain delights in reading it as 'lumpy' with a leading 'n'.

Does 'pure SQL' have a specific definition (or reference spec)? The author doesn't mention it, except to say he tested it across Umbra, Postgres, and DuckDB. Even then, some days w…
