I would say just continue using Obsidian but encrypt your devices. If you want to back up the files use rsync with encryption.

I think the problem is that physicians are self-selected to be highly intelligent and driven individuals. Med school is not at all a walk in the park, and is very competitive.

You cannot compare the median physician who endured the years of grueling med school and residency to an average developer. FAANG is probably a more apt comparison.

Figured it out. 3.5 Flash and 3.5 Transcribe are different models

I'm confused, doesn't your leaderboard clearly show it is the most accurate model? It's number one in the leaderboard. Am I missing something?

really interested to hear about your transition from developer to student. i'd love to talk to you. my email is in the about on my profile.

I have a speech impediment and currently a junior engineer.

Will this actually prevent me from getting promoted? :(

Maybe I should look into some speech therapy but not exactly sure how effective that is past a certain age.

Might be a crazy statement, but I believe Meta is on the right track. Right now, I think most people can clearly see that more and more people are getting addicted to the little device in their hand.

The "Metaverse" is going to be a more interactive, immersive extension of that device. I also believe that Meta's superintelligence team isn't necessarily about achieving AGI, but rather, creating personable, empathetic LLMs. People are so lonely and seeking friendship that this will be a very big reason to purchase their devices and get tapped into this world.

Surely this would be easy to fix with a simple script that runs on a VPS to alert you on a platform of your choice, maybe using something like Apprise (https://github.com/caronc/apprise). Get the notification as an email, on Discord, Signal, etc.

This does complicate the system a bit, but still low overhead in my opinion.

Beautiful web page. Author is a front-end developer at Canva according to his Twitter/X.

> It really is a sick joke that the experience for gaming, music and video is all far, far better for those who _don't_ pay than for those who do.

Denuvo is effective enough that if a game has it, it is almost impossible to pirate. So in most cases, it is either pay or do not play the game at all.

There was one key player who knew how to crack Denuvo DRM. They went by the name Empress but haven't cracked anything in the past year, and also mentally deranged, often including very transphobic rants in the NFO file of the torrents they release.

If you were working with code that was proprietary, you probably shouldn't of been using cloud hosted LLMs anyways, but this would seem to seal the deal.

Wisconsin local, currently attending UW-Madison for CS, and visited the Epic Campus when I was going to a local high school less than 30 minutes out. Talking to the engineers and exploring the campus is what solidified my choice in deciding to become a software engineer, so thank you Epic!

Still feels like the solution here is just using Windows 10 IoT LTSC to avoid all this madness. It's a bloated product that feels worse to use than Windows 10, plain and simple.

Purelymail has been great! I've used it for about a year, no issues, just works and extremely cheap.

Kagi is a tough pill to swallow. Their search is hands down the best around, there's no other way around it.

That being said, $10/mo is also expensive.

The workaround I found is using Kagi Ultimate. I get access to Claude (and I'm still able to attach files + access a dozen other LLMs) for $25/mo, so I was able to cancel Claude and keep Kagi and get the best of both worlds from either product.

Side note: incredible that a small team like Kagi's can somehow use LLMs more effectively in search than a company that has years of search experience (i.e. Google)

> but I cannot sustain that level of concentration for long periods as I once could.

This scares me. I'm younger and thus, I feel like social media and short form content has had so much impact on my ability to focus that it already feels bad where it is right now. Never thought this might be the peak of my concentration power though.

Good changes! My experience with the Universal Blue images have been amazing. The stability is great and it really brings the "it just works" feeling to Linux.

Containers aren't perfect, and sometimes getting something installed in a container can be difficult, but once you have it working, it is always reproducible. For example, getting Android Studio working on Bluefin was a bit of a difficulty (the flatpak does not just work out of the box).

It's high overhead, but having a VM just for Excel isn't that insane. Performance differences these days are negligible, and if you are just using Excel I doubt it's that much of a problem. There is also Google Sheets.

For planning, Jira is king and available as a web app.

This is great when you completely discount almost all gamers or people doing graphical work? Proton is only so good and many games are still completely broken.

Not a fork, it is just based on Gecko from what I can tell on their GitHub. To be fair, Zen is clearly targeting a regular audience who most likely do not know what Gecko is.

There is an app called Kiwi Browser that does support extensions on Android. The issue becomes no sync, which I think is also a feature you are looking for.

It makes sense that Chrome has never built it, have to keep the users from using Adblock.

Also important note, but Firefox account settings/sync is End-to-End encrypted, a nice privacy feature compared to the much more invasive Google Account sync.

They only compared to Firefox-based browsers which does make sense. Most people are already firmly on one side of the Chromium vs FF engine debate.

Compared to Brave in what terms? Speed, not sure, but Chromium is known to be better. As far as I know, Brave doesn't allow split tabs or workspaces though.

Bitwarden for secure notes, managing passwords & my 2FA tokens.

Dell XPS 15, the laptop itself is pretty great.

Currently running Arch + Hyprland, and the whole setup runs smoothly just off of the iGPU and is a savior on my battery life.

Kind of sucks to have an expensive laptop and not use the GPU at all, I might switch to using the GPU when plugged in and when I unplug it have a script switch back to the iGPU.

Just tested. Both the F5 and .LOG technique work on Windows 11 notepad.exe

I agree that if AI can replace software engineering, then many white collar careers will be at risk, and there will most likely be societal issues that may have solutions like UBI.

If you are in your mid-thirties and already a few years into your career, I'd just continue on the path and aim for an early retirement. If you are a junior software engineer who is just starting their career, the "AI anxiety" is most likely even higher (and for that, I do not have answers).

I always wondered whether there was a purpose for that. It probably is just spyware.

Also the Google app is required for many other apps, like to use Google Podcasts.
