    This may just be too much. I settled up on 0.2mg dosage - you can find 0.1mg tablets, easy to try different dosages with them. Also seems to work better if you take it 2-3 hours be…

    > 53. МИР И ЧЕЛОВЕК Oh wow, a blast from the past. Remember reading and re-reading it a lot when I was very young. Seems it is still printed and updated! You can see the 1988 editi…

    Important detail here is that the problem disappers if you use PRIVATE dependencies — but you can't do that with a heavily templated C++ codebase. Templates (and complexity they br…

    Not only is CMake single threaded but the generation step time scales almost quadratically* with the number of targets in some cases. Probably not what happens here but this is wha…

    Just learned about Kenji by finding his "The Best Chili Ever" recipe [0] through Reddit and immediately his another recipe appears on HN. Baader-Meinhof strikes again. [0] https://…

    Author mentions trying incognito mode without success. I also tried their strictly mathematical problem description and got filtered 5/5 times.

    Interesting, I thought that it can't be right, Fable can't refuse to answer a strictly mathematical problem — well, 5/5 attempts did switch to Opus. Amusingly, one attempt spent al…

    Wonder if AMD MI350P release will affect setups like this. From what I've heard, the price will be pretty similar to RTX PRO 6000 while having 50% more VRAM which is additionally a…

    I assumed that AI features require server, so the server knows how many users it has. If some features are local then it's not so straightforward.

    Approximately all people update Firefox so you don't need telemetry to count "AI disabled" installations, instead you can derive it as "updates requested" minus "AI enabled".

    On Windows it is Alt+0151. Harder to use than on Mac but definitely possible, I frequently use it. On recent versions Shift+Win+- also work, and Win+- produces en dash.

    Peculiar that in IMPLEMENTATION_NOTES.md Claude thinks it is 2024 and not 2026 (see Work Log)

    I wonder if Windows and Linux just can't yet work on heterogeneous CPUs as well as macOS does. Intel chose an interesting direction here, going straight from one to three kinds of …

    For reference, I get 29 tokens/s with the same model using 12 threads on AMD 9950X3D. Guess it is 2x faster because AVX-512 is 2x faster on Zen 5, roughly speaking. Somewhat unexpe…
