Claude Cowork is unusably slow on my M1 MacBook Pro. I wonder if Codex is any better; a quick search indicates that it is also an electron app

A WordPress spiritual successor backed by Cloudflare sounds great in theory, but the headline feature, plugin isolation via Dynamic Workers, only works on Cloudflare's runtime. On any other host it's just a TypeScript CMS without the security model that justifies its existence. Open source but architecturally locked in.

Same IARC group does not equal same risk. Group 1 just means the evidence is strong, not that the danger is equivalent. Smoking increases lung cancer risk by 2,000-3,000%. Daily processed meat increases colorectal cancer risk from around 4.5% to 5%. calling bacon "cigarettes in meat form" is wildly misleading.

I am confused why the announcement page says CCX33 in USA "Old price" is €59.49 but their main pricing page shows €50.49 for CCX33 in USA

Fun fact about North Carolina: Venus Fly Traps only grow naturally within about a 75-mile radius around Wilmington, NC.

I think I would use this. I am the kind of person who needs to write things down immediately when they come into my head or I will forget them. I picture wearing it on my ring finger, button down, and use my thumb to press the button, is that realistic or would it be uncomfortable that way?

Have to say, love the typography on this site. Did some quick digging and the headings font is an Adobe font called Forevs, with a similar Google font being Fraunces.

I recently did a comprehensive panel of my own volition with Quest Labs and was pleasantly surprised by the entire process. It was super easy to schedule, affordable, and their online platform is surprisingly sleek.

FlamingMoe — Sat, 11 Oct 2025 16:41:43 +0000

i prefer the Brave mobile app. I previously used firefox focus, but I basically just made brave into a focus app by turning on Private Browsing Only, but can also disable the functionality when needed.

$10k is not a high enough fine to dissuade this behavior. Large law firms will just approach this the same way that big tech accepts GDPR fines as part of the cost of doing business.

This brings to mind "Still Life", the story of John McClamrock, a high school football star paralyzed during a game, and his mother subsequently devotes her life to taking care of him.

I somehow came across the article in April 2020, the peak covid lockdown, during which I lived alone in my small apartment.

It was one of the most profound things I have ever read: https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/still-life/

Neat. I just tried it out and one thing I was pleasantly surprised about was the styling it came up with. It was sleek, and it did not have the purply gradienty tailwindy styling that I always get from Claude. Did you do much to adjust the prompt for custom styles?

I buy a lot of plugins for WordPress sites, and there are definitely some companies in that ecosystem known to utilize dark patterns and have difficult cancellation processes.

“I would have liked to work hard on something I cared about. But I didn't have anything I cared about”

This is one of those sentences that make me jealous I didn’t write it. Just such a perfect description of early adulthood for many.
