You've kind of spoiled my day with this. Its like an angry chess game when you've got momentum, you POUNCE! But nobody else here appears to have chosen violence. really I get that he "maybe snarked you". But you should be reminded of the beautiful rules of hn discussions.

I update ff as much as the next guy, I don't know what you're talking about. Weird how we don't disagree.... But seemingly the same world has two faces.

By still being there at all, you've been complacent all along. Sometimes my principles sting but within a day or two of leaving, I didn't miss it at all.

One can simply fire up a claude and tell it what you'd like to change. A few minutes to sign the extension and Firefox does exactly what you'd like it to. I relayy just do not understand why HN comments pretend this option doesn't exist, or that this is so hard. I have extensions linking it with my i3 setup, setting custom CSS on wm actions, custom shortcuts, what have you. It takes maybe an hour of work to do it nicely.

One can just click the little buttons once, and get on with the business of the day. I don't understand why this seems so hard?

Evolution is really slow as you say. It even stops moving at all without selecting pressure.

My experience was so much different to this, that I have the unfortunate impression that you're shilling. It really was not a capable model, it felt like the old oai models back when we were all excited but couldn't actually trust them even in the littlest ways. What harness were you using, did you do any work to make it better? What was I doing wrong? I just pointed opencode at it, with a pretty simple (large-ish) data cleaning project.

Never had one closed, only ever bothered posting twice. One obscure tumbleweed issue that slowly turned into something I was quite proud of... And one that was so unpleasant a little experience I never came back. Nothing serious just god why.

What was my point... Oh right. I don't assume anyone's making this stuff up. The pla

It is a POS. Try connect a read-only while another proc is connected, you cannot. Try have separate processes cooperate, db corrupts if open too close on heels of close. I hate ddb with the power of a thousand sharp wet farts. I bitched to my new boss and no sympathy, imagine the schadenfreude when a week later I heard the whole team move to postgres - the boss hit his own head on the thing.

Possibly because many people are so bored with this old flock story. What this silly man says is meaningless to me at least. I'm sure the Americans will sort it out. In time.

Most of the time what we call listening is just our way of waiting for our turn. Paraphrasing some smart person.

A different smart person once taught me that the most interesting and effective conversation is one where you speak only using questions. If you're curious then questions are natural, if you want to argue, then questions are a masterfully manipulative form...

In this very comment section an earlier post claimed the opposite (that specifically grain fermentation did not produce the big M), and sounded just as knowlegable and plausible to the lay-ear.
