- celeritasceleryI have had this conversation with several people. I feel like I used to be able to type with a fairly low error rate on a smaller screen with old iPhones. Now I feel that it is constant exercise in frustration as I will hit a letter and the keyboard will decide to pick the letter next to it. It is evolving backwards.
- I never visit twitter/X “for you” or homepage, but instead just use the timeline and see only people I follow. This is mostly interesting people in tech or hobbies. It is great for that!
Every platform has their extremists and if you let the algorithm suggest content to you it will be stuff designed to fester hated and rage. However twitter is one of the few platforms that let you curate your feed, and I couldn’t use it without that.
- Most medical care is not an immediate emergency. If I could compare MRI prices and it would impact how much I pay (either as an insurance copay or out of pocket) I would absolutely do that. But I have no opportunity to do that so there is not price feedback like there is in a market.
- I would have just been happy if the declared value was what I paid, instead of almost double.
- I had this happen to me on an order from Sweden. The order was about $450 + $50 shipping. I used an online tariff calculator and it said it should be 15%. So I was expecting ~$70. A few days before it is supposed to arrive UPS sends me a $242 bill for “tariffs, customs, and brokerage fees”. That basically made it 50% more expensive, but it was either pay it or loose the item. A month later they sent me an invoice that claimed the item cost $850. No idea how that happened. I am too scared to order anything from the EU anymore.
- The Manhattan project is a pretty obvious example. The past world wars were full of technological advances that world powers were trying to keep away from enemies.
- I don’t see where it says they are adding advertising. Is something there corporate speak for ads?
- Apple TV is much better about this. I have never had it pop up or interrupt me. When it is idle it just goes to a pleasant screen saver and then powers off after a while. It doesn’t try and promote content or display ads for shows. Granted, that could change at any time, but right now I think it is better than all the alternatives.
- That is not convex
- Who pays better than American companies for well tested technology?
- In hindsight, the fact that it was probably a balloon and not space debris makes a lot of sense. Something falling from space would only spend a few seconds at most in the zone where airplanes cruise but a weather balloon would be there significantly longer. Makes the chance of collisions much higher.
- > As long as there are no POOF magicians, the GC can assume that it knows every reference!
creating pointers without provenance is safe, so the GC can’t assume that a program won’t have them also be sound. This always be an issue.
- It does not defeat borrow checking. The borrow checker will ensure that objects do not outlive the arena. It works with borrow checking.
- 7.2 million Irish multiplied by $18,000 a year is about $130 billion. In 2024 the government revenue was $148.3 billion. The government revenue would need to essentially double to make this program universal.
- Interesting. That article didn’t explain the relationship between wildfires and power costs, so I did some digging. California is unique in that it uses a legal doctrine called “inverse condemnation.” This means utilities are strictly liable for wildfire damage caused by their equipment - even if they weren’t negligent.
This leads to tens of billions of dollars in extra costs for the utility companies in the state. California essentially passes on the cost of the wildfires to consumers in their electricity prices. This is unique to the California and not a factor in other states.
- Can you elaborate on why that is or provide a source? Other states also have high wildfire risk and don’t have the expensive power like California.
- Agent shell is what I always wanted. I have been using many of the different Claude code integrations packages and they are really good. But there is always some friction because I need to run it in a terminal emulator. With agent shell it feels so much more integrated and natural.
I am really excited for these improvements, especially reading the env from a file.
I wish that agent-shell-sidebar had some screenshots though so I could see what it actually does.
- The “LLMs are bad at asking questions” is interesting. There are some times that I will ask the LLM to do something without giving it All the needed information. And rather than telling me that something's missing or that it can't do it the way I asked, it will try and do a halfway job using fake data or mock something out to accomplish it. What I really wish it would do is just stop and say, “hey, I can't do it like you asked Did you mean this?”
- I have been holding off upgrading to windows 11, but it sounds like I should do it before I lose the ability to upgrade without an account.
- I love the little things, like the paint program and music player. This was so fun.
