I moved from Logitech to Keychron because of double-click.

Unfortunately my Keychron M7 got double-click too. Getting very jaded with the mouse industry at this point.

That explains why all my vibe-coded hobby projects are down.

Thank God I'm not dealing with any public-facing sites! Would have been an expensive lesson for a newbie coder if my job depended on this.

This has been my experience as a newbie.

My prompts to Claude has evolved from "what program / data source do I need to do this" to "what program / data source do I need, to make you do this for me".

After a few iterations, any data source without a free API feed, or any program without a free CLI interface are edited out of the gene pool, so to speak.

> However, I can't imagine vibe-coders actually shipping anything.

I'm a vibe-coder, and I've shipped lots! The key is to vibe-code apps that has a single user (me). Haven't coded anything for 15 years prior to January too.

If you are doing a lot of miniature photographies, black paints / fabrics made with graphene are great for lighboxes.

Musou black is what I tried.

"The later versions of M365 copilot (or whatever it is called today) are wildly better than the original ones."

I find AI agents work very poorly within the Microsoft ecosystem. They can generate great HTML documents (because it's an open source format maybe?) but for word documents, the formatting is so poor I'd had to turn it off and just do things manually.

What can you do with lots and lots redundant climate-controled buildings?

Indoor strawberry farms.

These are so infuriating they should be illegal.

Especially when they come from apps you can't delete like your bannking app.

I do not feel as optimistic about any uptick in cables as I do about solar and wind. Solar and wind can grow through a multitude of small, plug-and-play projects. Cable projects like HDVC are still giant, long-term punts.

Jiro's son is only allowed to make sushi after 30 years.

Isn't SF6 very dense?

Why would its greenhouse warming potential matter if it's never going high up into the atmosphere in the first place?

Sounds like a race to the bottom.

First, there's Tether > We're the only option in town. Then, there's Circle > We're more legit than Tether, we're based in the US. Now, there's the banks > We're more legit than Circle, we're banks!

Eventually, the Fed itself will start issuing stablecoins and out-legitimize everyone else.

> If students find a way to get a diploma without doing the work, it will soon be worth less than the paper on which it is printed.

Amen.

I look forward to the era where we train professionals the old fashion way: apprenticeships. It sure worked for blacksmiths and artisans for hundreds of years.
