Most of the interesting responses come from interesting prompts... why didn't YOU come up with that interesting prompt or the parent??

As good as that track is its literally his only good stuff. Try as I might, and as eager as I was to like him his library of music just falls flat.

Forget Costco and Amazon it's all about Walmart. They are killing it with local from store delivery and they are more local then Costco. They will win at the end of the day.

New comment by psyclobe in "Claude Code Just Got 5x More Expensive"

I have one Claude doing triple duty: helping with side gigs, supporting my corporate job when the company-provided Claude tokens run out at lightning speed, and helping me develop a startup on the side, which I’m literally just voicing into existence.

At $260 a month, it’s a bargain.

I’d pay double without blinking.

Last I checked u can just dictate exactly what u want the llm to be concerned with and flatly dismiss any pushback as being out of scope of the intended goal.

New comment by psyclobe in "WSL 2 is getting faster Windows file system access"

psyclobe — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:48:25 +0000

WSL1 was really really fast! It was quite unique system too totally customized for the Linux kernel and windows interfacing!

Was really disappointed when WSL2 came along and just virtualized everything; fs performance took a shit.

Anyway I don't care about windows these days, all Linux all the time.

I made a magic_enum abi stub for this: https://github.com/psyclobe/magic-enum-reflect

Cause its dead simple. Shell out, run a quick sed or something, then compile it in. It is quite amazing what 'magic meta' stuff you can do with that shit. Meanwhile 10 years in we are finally getting reflection.....

They are gross but... effective so shrug

Pretty much. Was hoping it would've been a 'reflection slam dunk' but no... same 'ol same 'ol.

Absolutely spot on, easier, and way more effective

Man that aucks was looking forward to some kind of speed improvement. Using magic enum atm and I guess we'll continue to do so.

C++ build times are hard pill to swallow when migrating from c. This is just another reason we'll probably stick to writing c as t the company where I work. It's like asking someone to give up instant compilation for cleaner easier to read apps?

Also now that we have cleanup handlers in c (destructors) even less of a reason to move...
