This reminds me of when GPT-4 first released, the image capabilities were in preview and limited. A couple companies, including Perplexity, was leaking their API key on Replit & had early access by a couple weeks.

The dumb me at the time used it to do biology homework to do with diagrams instead of anything interesting...

I think the API endpoint was codenamed "rainbow" if I remember correctly. How time flies

1. The standard of living for the bottom 5% of society in terms of basic needs (food, water, shelter, and health) 2. Equality. The distance between the bottom and top in terms of economic and political power. Not just votes, but absolute power including if lobbying is allowed. 3. Hours of work per capita required to maintain current standard of living

Oh wow. Tangled's support for jujutsu is exactly what I've been looking for! There's my weekend gone to getting that self-hosted.

Love the place. Rent is good compared to the rest of the UK. People are friendly & welcoming. University isn't the best though.

Author works for that company. License is copied from https://github.com/xdgrulez/kafi which I presume was made for said company and therefore must contain the exception.

Rare Wales mention! I'm currently in Cardiff (capital of Wales)

Most jobs here are C#, Java, and Python. Job market is decent. Lots of people have been moving here lately as developers. Expect very low pay relative to London or US though.

I also know some people living in Cardiff but working remote for companies in Reading or Warwick. Also a few people working fully remote for Bluesky.

I'm personally moving out (to San Francisco) to pursue a startup though

I think on Firefox, if you right click and press screenshot, it lets you choose a component. Use that quite often

I get GitHub Copilot Pro for free for some reason. One day I checked and it was just there. So I use that until it runs out. When it does, https://synthetic.new with Kimi K2.5 works surprisingly well for small tasks where I still make all the decisions.

But I find no matter what I use, it still makes more sense to code by hand for anything that actually matters.

The things I've vibe coded are throwaway scripts to generate a gif, user scripts to tweak annoying websites, and various utilities that just need to work.

Very obvious with the GEMINI.md.

I wish there was a rule to ban AI submissions. Not because I think there's 0 value, but because there's just such a high volume and low signal to noise ratio

Could you link the story by any chance? I've been using Longhorn for a while and on one particular system, it has an odd tendency to corrupt XFS.
