I have hundreds of ideas which I think can generate revenue of the sort you describe, but they need significant work each one of them. Note that $20k annually is already full annual salary in half of the world too.

Dumping panic traces to an agent works fine if it's just a vanilla page fault at an obvious address. But when your memory gets corrupted by some scuffed DMA sync or a race condition in an interrupt handler, the kernel panics a million clock cycles after the actual bug occurred. The dump is just pure garbage by then, and no LLM is going to untangle it because the root cause context literally isn't in the logs tbh

Thanks, I'll try more of Claude. Back in the day when I first tried it out I easily burned through message limits every day. I've been mulling over paying for Claude Code but I just keep using the free tier of Antigravity and some from my Pro plan.

I happen to have a Gemini Pro subscription that I got through my network provider in India, but i use it only for coding and Nano Banana slop. And occasionally live audio/video chat from my mobile which is actually the best use case I've seen so far although it gets old pretty fast and isn't great beyond basic tasks.

Punctures the hype bubble driving a trillion dollars of irrational CapEx. Oh dear. Alarms sounding in the distance.

I expect everything about this to be downvoted into oblivion. As the emperor has so wisely commanded, the spice must flow.


That seems highly unlikely. Let's assume that all compilers use the exact same padding in C structs, that all architectures use the same alignment, and that endianness is made up, that floating point representation has been stable for 100 years, and also pretend that pointers inside a struct will work fine when sent across the network; the question remains still: Why? Is THIS your bottleneck? Will a couple memcpy() operations that are likely no-op if your structs happen to line up kill your perf?

This is me. I learned to not talk to strangers because 80% of the time I just get disappointed. Either I need to reflect my disagreement with their (imo) stupid takes or just be unauthentic and agree.

Yesterday I got stuck with this kind of stranger for 3 hours for work stuff. It was just me and him driving. When he started telling racist jokes and expressed his dissatisfaction with human rights I thought here we go again and went for the unauthentic route. As the conversation rolled he became more easy and personal. Told me about his family, his immigration and less nice parts of his life. I felt compassion and it really feels like we ended up being more connected than the beginning.


Some people fetishize tool curation over results. But also, the true high-efficiency creators prioritize their tools over everything. To be truly efficient and to get in the flow, you need tools that work with your particular style and approach. This is why there are lots of idiosyncratic tools and opinions about tools out there. Since not everyone works the same way or has the same preferences, there’s a natural market for unique tools that work differently to suit all those people. The “religious wars” over editors are really just people missing the point and arguing for no reason. Emacs is better for some people. Vim for others. Vscode for others. Notepad++ for others. Nano for others. This is a good thing.

If you don’t care about your craft or workflow enough to care about what tools you use, I wonder what level of quality you can achieve.


I don't participate in clan mentality, where every tragedy has to be blamed on an outsider. An accident is tragic, it doesn't make it any less tragic that it was the kid's own fault. Or if you can't stand not having somebody else to blame, it's clearly the parent's fault.

What do you think the standard is for standardization?

Won’t you get much better results trying to maximize utilization of some sort of LLM? For many people, you’d get faster and better results trying to optimize for LLMs than for any standard word processor or music composition tool.

It's rather incongruous that you register intellectual property for very little - and have states enforcing your rights for free - while a piece of land pays property taxes.

> What they said is correct regardless of that though?

I don't think so.

Their post is basically:

>> It still works if the file doesn't fit in RAM

> No it doesn't.

Which is incorrect: it actually does work for files that don't fit in RAM. It doesn't work only for files that don't fit in the address space, which is not what the author claimed.


Are you asking (1) why I think what I think?

Or are you asking (2) how we wound up in this situation as a society?

(1) I think what I think for several reasons. Basically everyone speeds. Probabilistically that includes he very lawmakers writing the laws, the police, and the road designers. I've also read some articles talking about road design, and in it it's mentioned that the designers factor in that most people will speed if the road conditions are amenable. I've also seen police cars driving around without their lights on, passing people at higher than the speed limit, and when unable to pass, the appear annoyed to me.

(2) I think this situation arose in sort of a "normalization of deviance" manner. Police didn't want to be too strict, or didn't want to bother fighting tickets for people speeding only a little, so only gave tickets for people speeding a lot. Then over time many people realized that, and started speeding a little. More are and more people started speed just to fit in with the surrounding traffic, until eventually everyone was speeding. Peer pressure. I've heard driving the same speed as the surrounding traffic is generally safer than driving significantly slower (or faster).


multiplayer netcode isnt overly difficult to write unless you're at the highest lvl of complexity lol. it's not a black box, it's just transferring bytes around efficiently and keeping track of state, your "netcode" can literally just be bare tcp (+ssl), validation, and state, it's not that deep.

Yes, but this is an S-Pedelec, top speed is 43 and then the assist goes completely off and I am not strong enough to maintain that speed without assist for more than a few minutes on this bike.

With assist set to low or medium I would end up with a hospital visit after a single ride. I have half an Ikea in my right leg, two 40 cm long pieces of steel and a massive number of screws to hold it all together so I really can't risk another fall or overloading it.


Or you can follow the link and check on the phone instead of complaining that you are not being spoon-fed...

In go, you can do mmap with some help of external library :) you can mmap a file - https://github.com/edsrzf/mmap-go - and then unsafe-retype that to slice of objects, and then read/write to it. It's very handy sometimes!

It's unsafe though.

You also need to be careful to not have any pointers in the struct (so also no slices, maps); or if you have pointers, the must be nil. Once you start unsafe-retyping random bytes to pointers, thing explode very quickly.

So maybe this article has a point.


Several times in my life, when I've needed to study/learn something, I just found or made a wiki on it, and categorized everything which I learned on it --- then when I had trouble recalling a fact, it was there in that structured site --- on the flip side, there almost certainly are folks who will aver that I ruined the Shapeoko CNC project wiki by using it as a personal notebook. Fortunately, @julien, a native French speaker from the Carbide 3D Community forums wanted to improve his English, so he made a gitbook:

https://shapeokoenthusiasts.gitbook.io/shapeoko-cnc-a-to-z/

which re-worked the essentials from that wiki, discarded the chaff, and has become a reference which a number of projects have re-purposed. I did resurrect the notes aspect on the /r/shapeoko wiki though.

Similarly, when I wanted to set up the ultimate commuter/long-haul mountain bike, I put down all the gear I learned about at:

http://old.reddit.com/r/bicyclegear/wiki

(probably out-of-date now, but I found the notes useful)

Unfortunately, I've lost access to the two e-mail archives from when I worked as a graphic designer/typographer --- really should have forwarded any notable e-mails (which I would have wanted to refer to later) to myself --- at least one of them wound up being printed out by a startup composition house and distributed to new employees.... maybe one of these days I'll finish the type composition book I was asked to write by an editor at a major publishing house.

For now, I've been working on:

we have a pretty intensively used postgres backed app handling thousands of users concurrently. After 6 years and thousands of paying custoners, we are only now approaching to the limits of what it can support on the horizon. TLDR: when you get there, you can hire some people to help you break things off as needed. if you're still trying to prove your business model and carve yoruself a segment of the market, just use postgres

That sure sounds like you're describing customizable snippets, which AFAIK every major editor supports?

How is it "bizarre" when it even tells you why it needs a Chromium-based browser?

I had a colleague (now friend :D) whose dad was a manager for a company, he taught him to talk to anyone so he's got a number of conversation starters / makers. I mean I (think I) can tell it's a very active intellectual process for him, like it's not natural and he's analysing responses and storing them and the like constantly, but he's doing it and it makes him a great asset. I don't think he aspires any leadership positions - conversations cost him energy and he likes to write code, after all - but he has the techniques for it.

I hate the camera bump trend. I don’t need a super fancy camera, just give me something half decent and flush with the device.

The original iPhone SE was the last time I enjoyed a phone’s design.


I'm trying to think of a text editor that doesn't support customizable snippets and templates, and failing

That site lists a lot of candidates as "support" just because they have no evidence either way, so it is not a realistic view on the opinions of EU parliament.

Better to look at actual votes cast.


Well, right now a foreign government can do that to us, so shifting the risk to our own politicians would be an improvement.

Even that will pass (for most — for some, it might simply "end" :/). I've been sitting in a cellar and bomb shelters in 1999 myself: yes, your struggle is worse and longer, but it will pass. The information you need today is very limited, so focus on that (what will be hit next; are there potential targets around you at all times, where do you get water/food in case systems break down, etc).

We are all victims of this weirdo game of global, live Risk, and unless you commit yourself to politics, really not much you can do here either: survive and focus on what's next!

Stay safe and good luck!


I see the headline's now been changed to "RAF base in Cyprus hit by drone strike"

The Telegraph is, of course, strongly anti-EU, so the original headline might well have been a form of shit-stirring - "look how weak the EU are being by not retaliating!", or something along those lines.


For teams that have tried both, where does MCP clearly outperform just giving the model a CLI?

I've done something similar with full analytics and options to add the full team. https://getpromptly.xyz
