What's the connection to Xiaomi here? (honest question)

I've never seen as many potholes as when I visited Canada FWIW. I'm a Kiwi and I've driven all over AU/EU/UK (Little bit of US, but only really CA and Maine). I didn't drive in Chi…

I was thinking more the getaway car of pros

Absolutely wild that it's been linked to a french government fund. I mean it's hard to believe the potential political fallout could be worth what they would get out of it, so one …

I don't think so, I think it's a genuinely interesting piece of information and loss of a yacht. Most smaller (e.g. 36ft) yachts are very hard to sink, often with human error being…

Every startup founders favourite movie.

old enough smart enough

I wonder if the other investors will sue.

Yeah I managed to get it to admit that it was Claude without much effort (telling it not to lie), and then it magically stopped doing that. FWIW Constitutional AI is great.

As far as I can tell he's the founder of GlaiveAI. There were messages suggesting Matt was an investor, but I haven't been able to confirm this.

I'm a big Obsidian user and (small) plugin author, but I'd move to something Obsidian like that was open source because there is a chance of enshittification, looking at this thoug…

Nothing can really help/console in this moment. But so many of us are thinking about him. I appreciated his blog, his strength. It will go on and make a difference. If you ever nee…

It's not just the narcissist, it's the betrayal. The least open company possible. How did I end up cheering for Meta and Zuck?

The ability to live our lives online well predates the pandemic. Remote work hasn't prevented experiences (except perhaps being tied to a commute), it's enabled us to live more fle…

I don't really use them together exactly, I just alternate backwards and forwards depending on the type of task I'm doing. If it's the kind of change that's likely to be across lot…

It has been heartbreaking to follow, but all the same an important documentation. You are a true hero. I am at a loss to know what else to say.

I think both work, from a purely information point of view. The SingleFile download preserves more of the original format. For a long while I was using MarkDownload and capturing t…

Once you know LLMS make mistakes and know to look for them half the battle is done. Humans make mistakes, which is why we take effort to validate thinking and actions. As I use it …

I use Cursor and Aider, I hadn't heard of Double. I've tried a bunch of others including Continue.dev, but found them all to be lacking.

I'm finding myself using the extensively in the learning way, but also I'm an extreme generalist. I've learned so many languages over 23 years, but remembering the ones I don't use…

I'm not a particularly good writer, but I've written about how I use the SingleFile extension to capture a perma web version of everything interesting that I read[0]. It's a great …

Snippets from my partners reactions: "Aimed at prosumers...uh...more nerdsumers" "Oh I just saw the price, $4000 to avoid an hours work"

Sure, just trying to explain it to US ;)

Reminds me of a date column where half the dates were MM/DD/YYYY and the rest DD/MM/YYYY. I did manage to eventually find the point in time when it changed and normalise the databa…

I just had a (contract) team member "quit" abruptly. Happy happy, oh I'm burned out, and need to take 3 months off, maybe more. I'm the last person in the world that would overwork…
