There is no way to delete a highlight, I accidentally deleted the root node trying to remove a highlight, then the undo command wouldn't recall the root node .

very cool ice over all, its earned a spot in my dock for now.

Just a reminder to everyone to support weird and new browsers. we'll never get a new crop if we don't water and nurture the alternatives.

The only good thing that might come out of these extreme memory shortages is forcing careless developers to actually care about resources for once.

New comment by frogperson in "How I use LLMs to learn complex topics"

frogperson — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:20:32 +0000

I've found it helpfull to ask the LLM to generate a sylybus for the topic. treat the sylybus as a design doc for a price of software. i find they do much better when they have subtasks to focus on. they can do big picture and small picture, but they can't do both at the same time.

When the entire system is created with loopholes for the rich, this is what happens. lawlessness, disguised as lawfullness.

the police and entire justice system are on the side of capital. The peoples history of the united States by Howard Zinn covers many attempts Luke this. he makes a case for what works and what doesn't. its a large book, but you can find good summaries online.

The pricing was awesome, but deepseek just sent out emails warning of a large price increase.

You mean they are making useful software and not just eliminating people and groups that were investigating Elon in some way?

You might appreciate https://nono.sh/

Its very easy to use and has a pre-made profile for pi. Just do something like `alias pi="nono run -v --profile pi --allow-cwd -- /opt/homebrew/bin/pi"` in your shell.

This sort of thing has been happening for 500 years. The People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn should be required reading for every student and every voter.

Will this just trigger a crypto arms race? Bigger and tougher proof of work?

New comment by frogperson in "Americans – including many Republicans – are losing faith in capitalism"

frogperson — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 22:05:37 +0000

I think I'm losing my faith in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the general rule of law more than I'm losing faith in capitalism.

Capitalism is working as designed, all the money flows up.

The rule of law is not working as designed. The rich have clearly different rules than everyone else.

Seriously, if you are still using Meta sites at this point, you gave no one to blame but your self. Their terrible treatment of employees and users isn't exactly a secret.

Leave Facebook and move grandma to something else as well.

Your argument assumes the Trump admin wants to actually help the citizens it is supposed to represent. They do not care about most citizens, their words and actions have proven this over and over again.

This admin absolutely will never take any steps towards transparency, education, sharing, or even simple kindness. Any hope of implementing something like this will have to come later.

Church groups, or at least an awful lot of them, were co-opted by groups like the Council For National Policy (parent group of the Heritage Foundation). I think a lot of younger folks see through the BS and don't want to send their time listening to hate speech discussed as gospel.

These churches chose thier path, and so did their parishioners.
