I often speak to people online who look at society and want to tear it down and start again. I've never understood that attitude. Growth out of decay takes work, but it takes consi…

Why do people keep trying to reinvent tmux?

I once asked a 93 year old, what the best experience of his life was. He said being married to his wife until she died. I've never forgotten that.

What about activitypub? I thought that was the new format to use..

Facebook IMO was more culpable.

Says more about you buddy. I didn't say I'm anti AI. I said run the prompt. If you had run the prompt then you would now have better code. Instead you decided to spark off some dum…

That's too high level. Even a basic regex for words leading to tool calls follows the principle. Claude does it right now. We need something more sophisticated, but you could just …

Is the right answer. I dunno what drivel the rest of the commentators are on about.

> see that it seems LLM-generated and assume Do not assume that just makes you a jerk. LLM use has nothing to do with thought or care in the same way that using a stencil doesn't. …

I've never used matrix for more than 10 minutes, but I'd like to counter this with WhatsApp. WhatsApp has a swipe up to talk. This feature when used in a group effectively sends au…

Once the tech catches up to the point that we can accurately select the right model for the task, then this ends up becoming a valuabke thing to have. You would spin it up sparingl…

> If you want fixes/features, you'll prompt your LLM and it'll make it so. I've been using the agents since the day they came out. This, does not work. It works if you want an app …

"building personal software won't require a developer's stack for much longer." I will if you are building anything good. What even is this statement?

I went through a period of home theatre building. What I learned from that, is that cinema sound is so badly calibrated and just downright awful in most cases. Its one of the thing…

1. Don't do anything 2. Be content The second rule conflicts with the first making this impossible. Any experienced meditator knows that to 'be content' isn't a passive action. You…

I added a git repo to AUR last year. It was super easy with basically no checks of any kind. Once these reports came out recently, I went through and deleted every AUR package that…

Sounds great! You'll just need your social security or passport id sent to google to install and use it... sobs

AI hype really is all just about appearances isn't it.

My phone use is completely different to this. I mainly use it as a reading and text communication device. A phone is just a computer.

Relative to punch cards and writing in machine code, I imagine the statement was entirely correct. And still is.

I started playing the audio. I liked it. The text was right there matching what I was hearing. I just wish that it highlighted the word in the audio. I'd much prefer a tts version …
