Re:Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX
on Saturday August 29, 2026 @10:47AM (#49490360)
I'm on the $20 plan too and the only time I run over is if I'm using Opus (or probably other third-party models). Grok and Composer seem nearly free at this point. Cursor also gave me a $100 credit for Grok after 81% of my usage was on TP models. I don't think Grok 4.6 is quite at the level of Opus 5, but it's close and so much faster (and less chatty).

Yep, I went from a OP7T to P6Pro and it did not feel like an upgrade. I still miss the macro camera.

An artist (illustrator) friend sent me this link (NSFW) of another artist detailing his process of using img2img to stylize/enhance his illustrations: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/yDb1ax
Cheesecake content aside, I love seeing AI image generation used as an aid to an artist rather than replacing the artist.

Me neither, it just worked in chrome on my pixel 6. And in Brave it doesn't work and does not ask for permission. Both still ask for permission for using geolocation API.

This is great, but I didn't realize that was a video at the top of the page; I think it needs the 'muted' attribute for it to autoplay.

Well, the Pixels are there (at the bottom) but really should have included the Nexus line too. Anyway, they are simulated photos, so they are of little value.

I initially set up my email on my domain as [email protected]. I don't really remember why, but it was a really stupid idea as it's so hard to explain to people. "It's me at mydomainname.com. Well, no, not my first name, it's emmm eee at..."

Ok, after trying incognito, I do like it, but I'm not ready to switch my default from DDG yet. Maybe on the non-incognito chrome results page you could include a note that your search can be tested from incognito along with the prompt to install the extension?

Well, I'm somewhat relieved to read that, in that I purchased one for the same reason but have been rebooting it at least once a day for a while now. I was initially relieved to see it may have been the Chromecast. Now I suppose it's both!

Cost is not the only factor leading users to Android. And cost certainly isn't driving users to Google's Pixel phones - they are priced similarly to iPhones.

Re:Club Penguin is shutting down
on Tuesday January 31, 2017 @03:37PM (#13534957)
He's been playing for 5 years now, so he's a mod on a few servers. He started out building simple things, then progressed to wiremod within a couple of weeks. It wasn't long before I couldn't keep up with him when I tried to check out what he was building. He used to build cars/vehicles (mostly from scratch, not using car models) and add them to the workshop, think he has a couple dozen in there. Now he mostly camps on servers and chats with friends (online friends), warns and kicks players when he gets reports, that sort of thing.
Re:Club Penguin is shutting down
on Tuesday January 31, 2017 @03:29PM (#13534886)
Well, funny thing... I really didn't play it much online, so I didn't even realize he was playing on servers for a while. He was 10ish when he started (15 now). When I started looking over his shoulder, I was shocked at some of the other players behavior! I once intervened and took control of the keyboard to scold another player who kept holding him up and taking his cars, money, etc. Turns out it was a role playing server... the other player was his friend, playing a criminal. I kind of left him alone after that!

Mistakes derail me much more when I'm sharing my screen or pairing. Once I make one, my confidence is somewhat shaken and I spend an inordinate amount of time on accuracy rather than the task at hand. Stupid, I know.
Re:Typing Practice for Programmers

Agreed,if the bottleneck is CPM/WPM ,you probably need better tooling in the form of scaffolding/boilerplate. But for those who can't touch type this could reduce the cognitive load of hunting-pecking. I need something like this (or typing.io) that will let me configure auto-complete so that it matches Sublime.

I built a Planck, and as much as I appreciate the ortholinear layout, I'm having a hard time finding/configuring a keymap that has the necessary symbols somewhere that feels intuitive. I'll spend a couple hours acclimating to a keymap on typing.io, but if I need to an ANSI staggered KB, even for a couple hours, it seems to wipe my muscle memory. Guess I need to buy another Planck!
