This circles back to the OP's point: they're not appropriate to use directly, so we layer a framework on top of them (Lit), and now we're just using another framework with one small piece swapped out.

Except for the hyphens, I don't feel any closer to the platform when I use Lit.

Neuralwatt prices proportional to the energy used (to cover all the non-energy costs). 30 kWh is $200 of service.

Pi vs omp is hotly debated within my friend group. It has most things you could want, ready out of the box, but also a lot of things you'd never want and it's constantly 5% broken. Some people love that trade, others don't.

My experience is this is great when the model surfaces something to you. But I'm constantly caught off-guard by things the model didn't volunteer, things I would have quickly stumbled upon if I was working on code the traditional way. The model didn't think it was relevant but I sure do.

The market being what it is, I took a job in ColdFusion last year.

There are people here who have worked in the same CF codebase for over twenty years. They might start and finish their careers in a language everyone else forgot about decades ago.

I think Ruby has enough momentum that career Rubyists will have a home for as long as they want one.

I think it's a testament to how far computers have come that identifying the individuals in a photograph is now considered a basic feature.

We'll get a sewing machine named SeamDeck.

In my little social circle DS4F generally substitutes for GLM 5.2 except it's the next best thing to free.

I know people who can cook a lot of food pretty well, but don't understand why they can't use a laser thermometer to check their meat.

Knowing really is half the battle.

I've owned four OnePlus phones, but I've been buying other brands lately.

1. OnePlus became nearly as expensive as flagships but wasn't as good 2. The official software used to be almost-stock Android but they bloated it up 3. The ROM scene came to steadily lag several generations behind phone releases 4. Android/OnePlus ROMs are a worse experience than they used to be (dealing with proprietary camera drivers, SafetyNet) 5. They didn't keep pace when other brands committed to longer OS updates

They used to be a good bargain, a clean OS, and a good modding target if you wanted a ROM anyway.

The first two haven't been true for a while now, and the third became a lot less appealing on OnePlus.

I'm disappointed to see OnePlus go but the brand I loved has been gone for years.

Why would farmers disagree?

Fortunately we're seeing more JS DB libraries offering to read large numbers as the BigInt type.

I once lucked into a private tour of a Monet gallery. I asked the curator, "these paintings just don't look great, why should I be impressed?"

The curator responded that Monet, and impressionism in general, were a reaction to the then-new invention of paint sold in tubes. Previously a painter had to mix pigment powder right when they painted. So they usually couldn't paint outdoors where the wind would blow the powder, and they couldn't capture rapidly-evolving scenes.

Tube paint changed that. Impressionists started painting things in motion, or in shifting lighting like dawn. Their paintings were designed not to look good close up, but to be viewed at a distance, where the "pixelation" (so to speak) resolved into a coherent picture. They skipped on fine detail to capture something as fast as they could, because they could never do that before.

I still don't care for impressionism on an aesthetic level, but I learned something that day about art history and why some people appreciate art that I don't.

My mom works at a credit union and the staff are constantly saving people from scams just because the customer came in and the staff had a chance to notice something fishy happening.

That'd leave even more room for drama. I'm imagining Gavin hiring thousands of cheap, unskilled laborers ("Hooli's industry-leading AI research team") to mash keys until they rediscover the prompt that generated middle-out compression with a patent-free clean room process. He never reproduces it because Gilfoyle's self-hosted LLM improved its own memory efficiency when when Dinesh got upset and started unplugging GPUs.

I remember an ORM that uses fake column types like `boolean` and `datetime` because SQLite doesn't enforce anything. That way the ORM knows how to deserialize the data. Strict mode prohibits this by only accepting column types SQLite recognizes.

My preference would be for SQLite to actually support commonplace data types. But as long as it doesn't, I can see the appeal in using the schema to specify what data you're storing in your database.

Unfortunately this is why Anthropic is so aggressive about preventing Claude subscriptions from being used with other tools.

I use Ollama Cloud. $20/mo and I never come close to hitting quota (YMMV obviously).

They don't log anything, and they use US datacenters.

And while they affect a similar percentage of people, they don't necessarily affect the same individuals. Same for therapy modalities, which often show similar efficacy in studies, but different efficacy for any given person.

So you've got to try different things and figure out what works for you.

Oh for sure, the operator choosing not to apologize or reflect on their behavior speaks volumes.

I've seen the internet mob in action many times. I'm sympathetic to the operator not outing themself, especially given how far this story spread. A hundred thousand angry strangers with pitchforks isn't the accountability we're looking for.

I found the book So You've Been Publicly Shamed enlightening on this topic.

The part that really sets Datastar apart for me is it holds client-side variables which are included in all requests. So I no longer have to think about piping & preserving view state when the DOM gets patched.

It's also neat how they use SSE for short-lived streams. Need a response to delete + add something? That's just two SSE events and then the stream closes. It's not a special case, it's a first-class mechanism.

Very happy with Datastar so far.

Part of the reason I use RSS instead of getting my links through social media is because when I like something enough to subscribe, I want to read all of it. Not to "dip in". A paradigm where I sample articles means RSS isn't as valuable for me anymore.

I do feel a little urgency to keep up since some me my feeds cover stuff happening in the world, and lose value if not read promptly.

I've seen takes similar to the author's before and they don't resonate with me. Maybe we just have different relationships with technology. The same way a watch telling me to complete my rings has no power over me because that's not a goal I chose for myself. The watch serves me, not the other way around.

I can't believe how long I was sleeping on fd and zoxide. zoxide is now one of my top commands, and fd feels like when I switched to ripgrep. So fast and easy there's no reason not to run it.

I get the error if I try dragging the icon to the home screen. But it works if I click "add to home screen" so it auto-places, then move the icon afterward.

I've got a bunch of web pages on my Lawnchair home screen.

I found MB Compass a few weeks ago and it's been very helpful for everyday things. For example, I just moved to a new apartment and I used the app to identify which room would get the best sunlight for my office. Works great!

I used this during a "geeky jokes" icebreaker at work. No one got the joke so I just sounded condescending. Lesson learned.

That's what Pebble is doing.
