What's the difference between "trash" and "tropes" in your mind? For example the good old Harlequin books were pretty much trash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlequin_Enterprise…

I think many people forget that the vast majority of books aren't high art. Your mind goes to Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, N.K. Jemsin, or Pratchett. My mind goes to Ice Planet Barb…

First to market usually wins. After they've got their gizmo in every user's hands, who will buy a perfectly crafted replacement with E2EE and all the bells and whistles? Shove it o…

For me it's a dopamine machine. I get my doses of lacking dopamine from completing things. Agents let me complete things in parallel all the time. They also let me build tools that…

There were some changes when "american_patriot_47" style political accounts were discovered to be from Sri Lanka or India.

Jameela Jamil put this out pretty well: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOvh4_UDHGy/ (sorry for the instagram link, couldn't find the original clip) Basically the gist of it is that…

Dunno if it's a generational thing or what, but I check my email like maybe once a day sometimes I can go 2-3 days without looking at it. It's just a place where Stuff gathers and …

My ADHD gets dopamine from getting something working, not from the tedious process of getting there. So YMMV.

Where and who is the pilot who crashed btw?

Subagents are good when the harness (And agent?) understand how smart they are. My root level CLAUDE.md has pretty much just "use a lower tier agent when relevant". Then I daily-dr…

Lidar will give you XYZ (z = distance) on a single datapoint, cameras give you XY and you need to calculate the Z from multiple cameras. Lidar is ugly and expensive, but requires w…

Correction, the sand battery is in Finland: https://ioplus.nl/en/posts/the-sand-battery-that-could-stop-...

And I've seen applications where the plugins are so damn complicated to make that it was easier to just make a separate tool to do that.

Maybe instead of the emoji buttons Github should let people attach money to the issue. If that gets fixed, the project gets the money.

/r/selfhosted was so full of people's "hey look what claude made" -attempts that they had to ban them =) Nothing wrong with doing something for yourself, but some people want to ma…

Book two (SHIFT) is the reason the TV show had to move stuff around a lot. It's pretty much unfilmable due to real world reasons, so they're doing it this way instead. Read the boo…

Coffee gives me heartburn and acid reflux. Energy drinks don’t. Tea does fuck all for me caffeine wise unless I drink a full ass thermos of it. Mate kinda works but drinking it is …

If you have bcherny levels of token quotas, you can use Fable for everything =) The rest of us need to optimise a bit.

The point being is that the default for some reason is to use nigh-illegibly small text. Just did a SwiftUI app with Claude and it defaulted to sub-.body font sizes pretty much eve…

California farms some very non-essential things like Pistachios, that take insane amounts of water to grow. In what's effectively a desert.

TBH a bunch of people were (still are?) massive fans of the dipshit in charge of DOGE. Nobody likes Infantino.

https://indieweb.org/POSSE This is the way.

There are already studies proving that a "stupid" model with a good harness + tool calling will outperform a "smart" model. Things like this give me hope for a system that can be f…

With Claude you can have "use a lower tier subagent when appropriate" in CLAUDE.md and it'll just work. The "smart" agent goes in a busy loop observing the subagent(s) and will con…

Using Sol or Fable for implementing is like having your Principal Staff Engineer with 30 year tenure routinely write CRUD functions for a REST API. You use the big models to plan. …
