Hell yeah. What instrument?

I have looked for mosh support for a while and not found anything. It would drastically improve the connection experience in VSCode. My terminals never disconnect anymore, but the Code popups about your sessions needing to be restarted has drastically reduced my usage.

They let you in and keep your property. I've never had an issue at a border, but I still keep my devices encrypted and powered off when crossing.

It used to be, and buying a few servers was a cheap way to get off the cloud (if you can manage them efficiently). But with RAM and other costs these days... I've had to rethink it a lot.

It certainly looks at the commit history more than I ever have. I find it quite cool when it points out interesting hints from the history.

Same place (and only place) I've driven one. Easy stick shift, a bit underpowered for the more mountainous highways, but it was a good ride.

Ebay? A friend to ship it? I agree on the de-google part but putting graphene on a used pixel is aligned!

Ended up here with the same problem, 200k output tokens burned on these errors after one prompt!

New comment by boldlybold in "We're testing new ad formats in Search and expanding our Direct Offers pilot"

boldlybold — Thu, 21 May 2026 15:50:38 +0000

Is this any different than current search ads (as far as people ignoring them)? I think this is a lot better for Google. It's always at the top of the page, harder to block with an adblocker, possibly more trusted (we'll see...)

That's all correct, and nobody seems to care. Nobody is ever going to improve the system, and us law abiding citizens are left with the consequences.

I've been saying this for years! I agree.

boldlybold — Tue, 12 May 2026 17:13:38 +0000

I frequently buy project car stuff on Ebay. You can find OE stuff with the part numbers scratched off that must have "fallen off the assembly line" pretty easily. Easily a few items per month between that and computer parts!

Illegal is a strong term here. While the wiki link you included indicates there might be some permitting nuances, I've seen nothing claiming the power is "illegal."

How can you have proof of work without consuming large amounts of power?

Great work! I really like the interface here, I think you put a lot of taste into the way this all came together. It's quite hard (appropriately so!) I would love to see a experienced structural biologist go at this.

Just set it to the "Efficient" tone, let's hope there's less pedantic encouragement of the projects I'm tackling, and less emoji usage.
