Unless they are changing their support process to not require a user to post on a message board and hope a developer sees it, I don't see how it's really taking responsibility.

And why should I give them more leeway for outsourcing to an inexperienced company? Comma/decimals meaning in currency is pretty well-established. If a new company is moving into an established space I would expect them to learn from other folks past experiences. "whoopsy, we don't know our core competency" isn't a defense for a company that's presumably making exorbitant amounts of money from partnering with Anthropic.

Home is the first place, work/school is the second place, the third place is everything else.

Agreed. When I read the headline I was wondering how this tied into the Graphene I knew.

> I can start a new show and drop it 15 minutes in if I decide I don’t like it

IMO, that can also be a problem. When I was young and buying CDs, occasionally you would buy one you didn't like at first. But since you had spent money on it, you'd listen to it. And I discovered some good music that way.

Same thing with movies and tv shows. Sometimes it takes a bit to get going, or I 'm in the wrong mindset for it, but repeated viewing or just sticking with it gets me through that.

I'm working on a LLM code review tool that focuses on reducing concepts instead of reducing lines. I think that's more along the lines of explaining what you want out of clean code than ponytail's approach. But I'm still playing with it so, not sure. And just because it produces code I like doesn't mean it's good code for everyone

They are also anti-inflammatory, so it could be related to less systemic inflammation.

I always say that AWS docs are exhaustive, but exhausting. Mostly because they're spread across half a dozen places. The answer you need is normally in there somewhere, but good luck finding it. And when I remember the docs contain some fact I want re-reference, I can never find it again.

Is it a "productivity panic"? I'm personally pushing a lot more commits because I'm spending more time playing around with ideas on side projects.

Is this all wasted if commits drop in a few months because folks are just pushing a lot now to figure out what works and what doesn't and we eventually settle into something between where we are now and where we were a year ago?

uv. Being able to download an instagram video with "uvx yt-dlp LINK", or create one off-scripts with requirements in the file header, and not having to worry about managing virtual envs and still having access to the python ecosystem is so nice.

This is cool, but is testing recognition, not recall. It needs an extra challenging mode where you have to provide the country, not multiple choice.

I enjoyed "No bullshit guide to linear algebra". And I wish "Coding The Matrix: Linear Algebra Through Computer Science Applications" still had the autograder working. Though I wonder if I could throw some agents at replacing it....
