It doesn't mean much but I cancelled my 5x Max subscription to Claude. Only way how I can tell them what I think about this change.

You can check some open source projects (envoy is the one I know) which are using it. The bigger projects are fun way to learn some tricks.

I've got a bunch of Ansible scripts, written in around 2013 or so - and then constantly tweaked over the years. Code quality isn't the greatest, but I've been using them to provision a bunch of laptops, Linux PCs, etc. They work good enough that I didn't search for a replacement yet. There's always a thing which needs fixing with these scripts, which is to be expected for something which is only fired every so often.

Hardest part of using them is remembering to do any config changes in Ansible repos and not directly in config files.

I have diverging logic, branching off usernames and group memberships to treat given machine as "personal" or "work" - and then configure certain settings differently. I'm using ansible-vault for secrets like SSH keys, etc.

New machine provisioning is usually just installation of a package manager (if not present, like brew), and installation of Ansible.

LunarVim may require some symlinks but I've ran both with Neovide at some time. nvchad should work out of the box.

I have almost exactly the same habits when using editors mentioned above. I'm not sure if I've been using Vim (neovim now) or Emacs (+evil) for longer, but both have great reasons to be installed at the same time.

It's a great set of updates, and it's especially telling that "privacy" wasn't mentioned even once in the whole article.

I'm impressed with the progress.

I'm also scared about privacy of the data. How will that work with installing windows in business environments with sensitive IP?

This is a great feature and I did use it few times to test. However, be aware of potentially leaking your company's private or sensitive information when doing this.

This is anecdotal but EVGA replaced my 1-month out of warranty 970 with 1070, after the card gave up to work about 2 years ago. And I registered it after the failure, although I was able to establish that I bought the card legally and was the only owner.

All my contact with their customer support was stellar.

I find it fascinating (in a very good way) that he does find time to code. Python is not a bad language, in all fairness, any programming language which picks your interest enough to spend time working with it is a good choice.

The added benefit of Python is the ease of using something like Jupyter notebooks, which make it trivial to iterate.

(disclaimer: I coded more in Ruby than in Python, but I still enjoy both)

Of course we wouldn’t see it, it would be closed source

What is the policy of Cognitect re: public benchmarks? I did not know that.

I know that this is stupid pet peeve but my number one thing to fix is not being able to change the extension of a file with the standard iOS tools. (or is there a way to do this?)

The length to which I needed to go to when I needed to do this recently on a video which was shared with me was mind boggling. I'm not sure if this is because the video was in Files and not in Gallery, but it shouldn't really matter. If anything, that would be exactly where I'd expect to have such a feature.

I didn't hear about ROG Phone 2 and it has some features which I really like, but I think the killer for me was lack of Micro SD and a better camera.

If only there would be a flagship phone which has all: an awesome camera (I snap loads of photos, the whole "best camera is the one you have with yourself" mantra), big battery and a Micro SD slot, it would be an instant buy for me.

So far I've been upgrading my Samsung Galaxy from 2 -> 4 -> 8+ as that was the closest I could find to what I wanted from the phone, but I'm happy to change to any other brand.

I'm not sure how to take your comment. Are you implying that spying on other countries is ok? Or that US has so much control that it should not be messed with?

Both are bad, right?
