Sure it’s not “Gemini AI Pro Max Duo Notebooks for Workspace Personal”? /s

I highly recommend either SimpleLogin or Fastmail aliases. The latter are superior because they can be used to reply directly to any received email without needing to set up reverse aliases.

When you own your own domain, the switching cost between providers is small. You can make a dedicated domain just for aliases

Both SimpleLogin and Fastmail have excellent integration with password managers as well

I can’t reconcile the super intelligence koolaid with the objectively bad performance of Claude code. Surely they could have used their “too powerful to release” model to vibe better performance? with a few skills thrown in for good measure. Heck, even throw in an auto research loop

Well at least this time we don’t have to worry about them rewriting their tooling in Rust

As GTA V before it, 6 probably has 20 years worth of content updates ahead. Might as well be well compensated for it.

New comment by outlore in "Moving away from Tailwind, and learning to structure my CSS"

outlore — Sat, 16 May 2026 17:07:42 +0000

IMO the killer feature of tailwind is that it lives alongside your React components so you keep things DRY, and you get a design system with type and spacing scales out of the box. It’s a form of constraint that helps create structure. But I think that makes it a victim of its own success. The tailwind spec becomes ever more complicated the more native CSS features it tries to include. I’ve seen tailwind incantations go way beyond editor wrap line

I still like it though. it’s one of those abstractions that actually helped me learn. I would go to the tailwind doc pages and see the underlying css of any class.

There were some other frameworks I got excited about: vanilla extract and stitches, both made by some really talented people. I wonder why those never quite got the same traction…

“Our company doesn’t make any money and burning tokens didn’t seem to help so we’re gonna lay some people off to make number go up”

New comment by outlore in "People Hate AI Art"

outlore — Sat, 09 May 2026 18:12:32 +0000

In my opinion, AI art is best when it laughs at itself in a meme context. For e.g. the recent General Grievous Pawn Stars video, or the Indian Hulku-re meme. When it tries to take itself too seriously to approximate reality, then it becomes icky.

New comment by outlore in "Cloudflare to cut about 20% workforce"

outlore — Thu, 07 May 2026 23:32:11 +0000

A message devoid of any meaning. Like wtf does agentic era prep mean? Is their AI spend too high? Are they not profitable?

Also just once, I wish one of these CEOs would give themselves a slap on the wrist and take a pay cut

Great product! Would love to see some search (tree view) and git (staged vs unstaged diffs) improvements in the future!

The thing that has kept me away from Warp has been support for bind keys and Atuin. Excited for this!

outlore — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 17:53:53 +0000

How can vintage models be contamination free if a newspaper clipping with “general relativity” accidentally slipped through into the training data? I don’t see such a guarantee described in the methodology

Can this drive a Studio Display XDR at 120 Hz? I wonder if anyone else is thinking about this and how to figure out compatibility.

Ehh I made the same trip (HW4, latest update), it’s not particularly impressive. The car gives up under harsh sunlight, tailgates big trucks leading to rock chips, switched lanes without signaling, sometimes would teeter on lane change and then swerve back.
