I don’t think you can take a turn until you hit a wall?

Another outsider, but Krita seem to be doing really well keeping their UX up to date. To the point where I often use it for a lot of stuff meant to be done by GIMP

Blind spot in the process is one thing, support staff not understanding the urgency of something like this and escaping to higher level is another

Who knows? The way things are going VCs could start asking claude to review someone’s online presence and Claude might decide karma is the best metric for that

Steam wishlist, itch.io number of views, YouTube views and now GitHub stars… I’m tired of all the gamification of creativity. Now if you’d upvote my comment I can get same karma please and thank you

I thought you were quoting a propaganda ad from starship troopers for a second there

Im not sure I follow. AI barely consumes energy compared to other industries and instead of focusing on the heavy hitters first wasting time on the climate impact on AI doesn’t seem useful

I’m surprised to see not enough people using xargs, or maybe I overuse it

The main issue with population decline is the inability to depend on the growing younger population to fund the retirement of elderly people

The less context switching LLMs of current day need to do the better they seem to perform. If I’m writing C code using an agent but my spec needs complex SQL to be retried then it’s better to give access to the spec database through MCP to prevent the LLM from going haywire

Isn’t that a myth? Do you have any sources to back up your claim?

From what I read they engine caught fire right after they hit V1, so basically the only option was to take off and solve the problem in the air

As someone neurotypical I take it for granted that my feelings most often align with what’s best to fit in with society. A few times it doesn’t and I end up giving in to my feelings and do the morally wrong thing

It is often useful to chain multiple sed commands and sometimes shuffle them around. In those cases I would need to keep changing the fist sed. Sometimes I need to grep before I sed. Using cat, tail and head makes things more modular in the long run I feel. It’s the ethos of each command doing one small thing

Internet was too big to fail in 2000, and in the long run was a net positive for the economy. Yet, a lot of internet companies still have not recovered the bubble bursting

Most EVs these days can recharge 300ish miles in 15 mins, but 99% of the time I don’t even have to drive anywhere to refuel as it get recharged overnight in my garage. EVs are waaay more efficient in terms of MPGe so at least for me it is less half in terms of cost to refuel compared to petrol not even considering the external cost of emitting CO2

> The FDA has conducted a systematic analysis of literature published between 2009-2024, including published case reports with patient-level information, as well as mechanistic data, and has determined that the information supports a finding that leucovorin calcium can help individuals suffering from CFD.

I would have liked to see some citations. I’m mostly curious about the sample sizes

This is how I feel trying to follow tutorials for using LLM or GenAI (LoRA, agentic, MCP what?)

> This cabinet is one of the most impressive on paper cabinet i've ever seen

How can I be on you side since said this without any source. I had to spend 15 minutes going through each of the cabinet members profile (and the ones in previous presidencies). While there are a few people with good experience in the present cabinet, majority of the members don't seemed to have any experience for the job they where hired for
