  1. As German speaking person, we can be glad it’s not a fax ticket.
  2. Next optimization: Black screen
  3. This is pretty much the thinking across all German-speaking countries. It especially applies to anything related to energy (combustion engines, coal, gas, oil) and IT.

    Case in point: fax machines are still an important part of business communication in Germany, and many IT projects are genuinely amateurish garbage — because the underlying mindset is "everything should stay exactly as it is."

    This is particularly visible in the 45+ generation. It mostly doesn't apply to programmers, since they tend to find new things interesting. But in the rest of society, the effects are painful to watch: if nothing changes, nothing improves.

    And then there's mobile infrastructure. It's not even a technical problem — it's purely political. The networks simply don't get expanded. It's honestly embarrassing how far behind Germany is compared to the rest of Europe.

  4. Different approach: I continuously refine my global CLAUDE.md (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md) instead of external memory systems.

    I work primarily in Python and maintain extensive coding conventions there - patterns allowed/forbidden, preferred libs, error handling, etc. Custom slash commands like `/use-recommended-python` (loads my curated libs: pendulum over datetime, httpx over requests) and `/find-reinvented-the-wheel` to catch when Claude ignored existing utilities.

    My use case: multiple smaller Python projects (similar to steipete's workflow https://github.com/steipete), so cross-project consistency matters more than single-codebase context.

    Yes, ~15k tokens for CLAUDE.md + rules. I sacrifice context for consistency. Worth it.

    Also baked in my dev philosophy: Carmack-style - make it work first, then fast. Otherwise Claude over-optimizes prematurely.

    These memory abstractions are too complicated for me and too inconsistent in practice. I'd rather maintain a living document I control and constantly refine.

  5. Maybe I m out of touch, but what has instagrams seo spamming ai todo with patriarchy?

    The last section of the blogpost.

  6. That made me chuckle, Enterprise Level Access. I mean as ai company, that’s incredibly cheap and instead of torrenting something, why get it. That price is just a fraction of a engineers salary.
  7. The cooling and density challenges of datacenters here on earth are not trivial , but in space this is multiple magnitudes more difficult.

    These numbers are just random bullsh*t numbers.

    And what problems do orbital datacenters solve? They still need uplink, so not libertarian we can do what we want, you have no jurisdiction here thing.

    This is just a sci-fi idea that is theoretically possible and is riding the ai bubble for users and investors that don’t know better.

  8. What a road down the memory lane… Club 3D GPUs in the early 2000s
  9. I definitely see the Gemini Cloud Service killing
  10. I fully agree. When everything is outstanding and brilliant, nothing is.

    Just tell me this a standard solution and not something mindblowing. I have a whole section in my Claude.md to get „normal“ feedback.

  11. SoftBank is just waiting to invest in this …
  12. Has intel caught up to TSMC? I highly doubt that they can manufacture that high end chips.
  13. Sometimes I write with Claude in English and German mixed with really bad typos and it’s amazing how well it works.
  14. The more you buy the more you save
  15. And your backup goes up in flames too.

    I would never ever trust OVH with any important data or servers, I mean we saw how they secured their datacenters where it took 3h to cut the power while the datacenter was burning.

  16. Or even a bare metal simple server that just does databases with redundant nvme ssd
  17. Installing or updating MySQL is not a pleasant experience, every time …
  18. Everytime I have questions about Wi-Fi I search for this distinctive site wiisfi.com … I should bookmark this.

    The best Ressource out there. Period.
