Yep and hate even that. Someone can make the next unicorn to fix this pain.

I think the interesting part of that article was "distributed to 813... who had used bluesky and X". That seems a little misleading. What if you just picked 813 at random and asked how many had even used bluesky at all?

Oh my that brought some real memories back. My first real programing job was in 1989 on a Sun Sparc 1+ Identical to that. Writing imaging C code for an industrial app before photoshop.... Loved that box.

This has been the worse Claude day ever. Just fell apart. Not sure if the release is why, but cursing in documents and can not fix a bug after hours of back and forth.

I use claude code in vscode. Cmd-Esc opens a claude code tab. Then /ide conects to the vscode and it's all like cursor at that point.

We tend to allow this. But you can review the diff before you allow it. It seems easier to say "roll that back" or hit esc if you see it doing things you dont like and then correcting it. I have to say the velocity is insane of coding this way. We also commit a LOT and explicitly dont allow claude to push code ever. That way we can roll back if needed, but honestly it's pretty rare to need to. The MAX plan is a must to work this way though.

Every 6 months? It's turning into every two weeks. Sticking with claude code. Its working beautifully for us.

Well written Lee; and 100% on point. So very true. Much thanks for moving the needle and good luck on what's next.

i was stationed in Arkansas in the late 80's and we used to go to Pine Bluff sometimes. It was a lovely little town. Just tragic about the downturn. I had no idea.

The government is borrowing the majority of the funds from the FED. From itself. They are printing it and loaning it to themselves.

i have to say this intrigues me. Anyone who has dealt with alzheimers or dementia in relatives would be.

I wonder how hard it would be to output to a 4k video stream and atmos or something and then play on hi end home theaters?

I remember going to this in the 80's and 90s'. Was astounding what you could find. Is it still going? I moved to Florida in the early 00's but still have family in the Dayton area....

New comment by TimMeade in "Why Prusa is floundering, and how you can avoid their fate"

TimMeade — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 17:44:03 +0000

For me it was obvious that there was a massive "Learning" curve. I needed to be sure this was viable for what i wanted to do. So i went with the $400 Ender 3 S1Pro. But ended up with new hotends new most everything. I didn't think there was a large difference between it and the Prusa. I intended to move up to the Prusa but the bambu lab printers came out before. Very lucky on my part.

The creality K1 Max was because i needed a bigger bed. I had an anycubic max in between and it was worse than the Ender. I never got it reliable. The K1 Max at least does get used. I just throw away a lot of filament from failures. The ones that complete are very nice.
