    I'd love an RTX 6000 Pro, but how can you justify it when it costs 10 years worth of Claude Max?

    I noticed Fable was quite a bit terser, and I think it's due to changes in the system prompt [0]. They're literally saying "just give me the TLDR" and "give brief updates". You can…

    Thunderbird does not seem to have auto-categorization from what I see, just filtering. Neither does KMail. Unless you’re referring to some addons? For apple mail you have to add it…

    Reddit “best” sorting is pretty much like instagram and TikTok now, have to make sure it on hot/top, otherwise it’ll show you “related” things from subreddits you never subscribed …

    Also it breaks copying links. If I want to link to an issue I copy the URL. But now there's two different issues open at the same time, which one am I linking to? Original? Popup? …

    Based on the communication fix, they also didn't have a simulator, or tests, or complete source code, on a custom instruction set that wasn't well documented, so they had to revers…

    It's ok because I rarely need it, but sometimes it's so slow I'm looking for alternative install methods while it's doing it's thing.

    I was making a telegram to Claude via tmux capture-pane and send-keys, this will be so much nicer. Also sounds like something that addresses some of what Steve Yegge said was missi…

    I just watched 20 minutes on the gardening channel and learned a bunch that I never would have seen with the YouTube algorithm, and wouldn’t have thought of to search for.

    Sounds similar to these quotes from the article: > we found that employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, …

    If it's DLP then using alternative file browsers should also be affected, right? Which at least in my case it isn't.

    Had the same issue with slow file explorer in Windows 10. A couple of things helped a bit, such as disabling "Show recently used files" and "Show frequently used folders". I also c…

    I was about to do exactly what OP did and create a chrome extension when I found karakeep which saved me from doing that. I really like the full archive because sites disappear all…

    Even after 40 years of battle-hardening, it has had buffer overflow and double free vulnerabilities discovered recently, which Rust protects against. sudoedit one was pretty bad. h…

    The "perfectly functional one" from 1980 also has multiple critical vulnerabilities in it in recent years.

    It's funny that converting the first example to the second is a common thing a compiler does, Static single assignment [0], to make various optimizations easier to reason about. [0…

    WebSocket doesn't specify data format, it's just bytes, so they have to handle that themselves. It looks like they're using Arrow IPC. Since they're using Arrow they might look int…

    I've had LLMs cite me bullshit many times, links that don't exist and claiming it does. It even cited a very realistic git commit log entry about a feature that never existed. Have…
