Yes, write your own custom harness harness.

This is what I'm doing too, and it's so much better. No more blocking copy/paste, no more stuck title bars, it actually sends notifications only when I need to give it input, it feels snappy, it doesn't destroy the scrollback buffer, messages are timestamped, I can copy my prompt out without spaces being added, it automatically bumps the agent to check when background processes run too long, and I added a sandbox that actually provides a modicum of security.

It actually means sysadmin.

> And that’s what the birds have with their lungs: an in point and an out point. They also have air sacs and hollow spaces in their bones. When they breathe in, half of the good air (with oxygen) goes into these hollow spaces, and the other half goes into their lungs through the rear entrance. When they breathe out, the good air that has been stored in the hollow places now also goes into their lungs through that rear entrance, and the bad air (carbon dioxide and water vapor) is pushed out the front exit.

Isn't "front exit" the "front entrance"? They don't have two mouths. I don't understand how this improves things.

One thing I learned recently is that some manufacturers list horizontal FOV, some list diagonal. And... yeah, they don't say which it is here.

Why is it a bad idea, for either of those? Fundamentally?

GP didn't say they didn't want to enter their email because it's a risk. My reading was that it was another hoop they had to jump through to do their diligence, reflecting on what the company thinks of their customers the same way the NDA requirement itself, and the IP clauses do. I'm not sure how the connection to money or capitalism comes in here.

I think there should be a separate dimension who are people who have used similar products before and have strict requirements, and people who don't (just bought it to review it, have surface level use cases, etc).

Is this the espresso machine? At first I thought this might be sarcasm but having looked it makes sense. They're using the negative space of the machine itself to direct the steam. It doesn't require any additional components and allows it to be more compact. I didn't realize that they work this way but it's a pretty cool design.

The carousel 2nd image appears to have erased the camera to make it fit the marketing narrative? That's pretty bold.

It's lithtech? Would it be easy to do shogo too?

Echoing others, but not even rare diseases. I had perioral dermatitis, first result on google for the symptoms. I went to 4 dermatologists over 4-5 months who failed to diagnose it, assuring me it absolutely wasn't a fungus, instead telling me it was eczema and prescribing topical steroids (as is their wont). The real solution was washing my face a bit more.

Isn't sober an intransitive verb already? Why not "How do we sober?"

It's not really a fair comparison. The quantized (gridified) one has a loud metronome layered on top of it.

What people seem to be missing here is that enums are just a reflection of functionality. If you make your enum non exhaustive then add a field, and something stops working because it's now missing critical messages, it's still a breaking change!

It's always up to callers to decide to handle everything, or decide that additions are non-fatal and use a wildcard branch to ignore them. The same enum could need to be exhaustive for one use case, or subset matched by another.

Hmm, the link doesn't work for me (just get https redirect + can't connect immediately after)
