This is my biggest issue as well. It's actually the one "real" thing I use the iPad for. It still gets the mobile app interface whilst being on a bigger screen and being almost usable.

It's the epitome of science, comparing it to a generic vim vs emacs flamewar which is pure subjective opinion is pretty baseless.

I guess my usage falls into two categories:

1. I have reliable wifi, and don't need to use mobile data for work

2. I don't have reliable wifi and I have to use mobile data for work.

If I'm in situation 1, then I don't really care too much. The cheapest junk esim works. If I'm in situation 2, I need a large amount of data and need a local plan.

I've saved your site though, never know what situation might come up. I don't know how esimdb chooses who to index, but I would try to get on there (I'm assuming it's free?).

I've spoken to quite a few travelers and they mostly fall into two groups. Those that use airlo or some other big provider or they use esim comparison sites to get the cheapest offer.

I travel fulltime and constantly buy new esims. Normally I just go on esimdb and buy the cheapest one. Then when I get to the location I'm staying at, I chat with folks to figure which network works best there. Normally it's cheaper to get a local plan as well.

You are quite a bit more expensive than the no-name folks I buy from.

The final level was their product and it was impossible. But it was also impossible to get the LLm to do _anything_.

May as well just echo "prompt injection attempt detected" at that point and never send anything to an LLM.

This isn't really a good example, assuming both can be used to represent the same thing.

The problem with the wrong abstraction is when your abstraction doesn't let you represent something. Then, because of you've already invested so heavily into it, you start contorting the problem to fit your abstraction and it becomes a shit show.

Your suggestion to using coding benchmarks doesn't really capture the whole picture. I haven't seen a benchmark using kubectl.

> AFAIK, none of the major players do. That's a sign to me these don't work in general.

It's a lose/lose for major players. If it works well, it will lower their revenue. Also there's a high risk it'll significantly worsen results for some people, even if it improves results for others.

There are a few, with varying degrees of residency time (and possibly other conditions) required. New Zealand requires being a resident for a year.

The UK is particularly interesting, if you're a citizen of a common wealth nation you can vote in national UK elections if you're a resident.

Personally, I agree with you though. I didn't vote in the UK despite being able too. Let the citizens decide the future of their nation, I have the privilege to leave (and have done so already). Feels wrong for me to influence the nation when I'm not fully invested in the outcome.

Kids eventually grow up and "start producing capital". It's definitely beneficial for the "elite" in the long term for people to have kids.

It happened in a Round1 (near Umeda in Osaka), we knew exactly when since we sat down to play Mario Kart and after one race it was gone. First the police tried to convince us that we just forgot it somewhere. Eventually we convinced them to check cameras, and they said it was a blind spot. They refused to check entrance and exit cameras.

She had her airpods in there, and we could track the location, they refused to look at any cameras in the area (we tried searching the area ourselves but couldn't locate them, we figure the thief chucked it somewhere hard to find). We had the serial numbers of USD that was in the bag, they wouldn't even write it down.

Currently still waiting for an official report so that we can try and deal with their immigration to move her visa to another passport.

Having spoken to her embassy, it's the second time they've heard the story (same exact Round1, same Mario kart section). And if it's happened twice to citizens from her country, it probably happens more.

The whole thing made me completely disillusioned with Japan. Yes, statistically it's extremely safe, but if something does happen, don't expect any help. Reading this story just makes me think I should avoid any interactions with police if at all possible, and I've stopped carrying my passport with me. I rather get fined than having it stolen.

Yeah, that happens where I work and I hate it. A combination of lint rules and AI reviewer prompts complain about long files and long functions. This means something that could be a 300 line self contained function that could be read linearly, gets split up into 6 functions across 6 files.

It's the illusion of "clean code". If you're casually skimming the code, you feel good. But as soon as you go beyond the surface level it becomes annoying.

Then again, I was looking in the UK, maybe prices are extra inflated there.

"Straight" can be ambiguous, second exit isn't. Maybe it's because I'm terrible with directions and hate driving, but I like the constant feedback that I'm going the right way.

Since you have no way of knowing when they change stuff, you can't really know if they did change something or it's just bias.

I've experienced that so many times in the last month that I switched to codex. The worst part is, it could be entirely in my head. It's so hard to quantify these changes, and the effort it takes isn't worth it to me. I just go by "feeling".

You could argue that the value is in the entertaining filming/acting/story telling etc, but if the videos are about digging holes then I think it's valid to say someone is paying you to dig holes.

I'm guessing it's because the laptops are popular enough that there's a dedicated group of people that make it work [0].

I'm still on X11, dunno what the story is like with Wayland though.

It's funny, because you could actually take that story and use it to market AI.

> I once watched a team spend six weeks building a feature based on a Slack message from a sales rep who paraphrased what a prospect maybe said on a call. Six weeks.

Except now with AI it takes one engineer 6 hours, people realize it's the wrong thing and move on. If anything, I would say it helps prove the point that typing faster _does_ help.

Otherwise I don't understand how MCP vs CLI solves anything.
