That is one of the interesting things about Neuralwatt cloud. Their pricing is based on energy rather than tokens (actually they have a token-based alternative, but claim the energy pricing results in 95% cheaper results). I've tried out their subscription offer and it does seem like you get a lot more usage even on the cheap plan. However since the energy metering is pretty much unique to them (at least that I've seen), there really isn't anything to compare it against, so hard to tell how accurate it is.

Regardless, it is cool to be able to contextualize the actual spend in terms of physical energy utilization. It even has a little co2 number (though again, kind of a "trust me bro" metric).

This is great! I remember the commercials for these things as a kid. Imagine telling that kid that in the future Billy Bass will have the world's collective knowledge and you'll be able to talk to him about anything.

Maybe a neckbeard comment, but why not just use arch directly? You set it up once and it is yours forever.

I like DHH and it seems like he has built a cool config and a streamlined setup, but why not just steal the dot configs that you like?

I wonder how it'll handle those of us who try and use the mouse as infrequently as possible. I imagine the cognitive delay part would be largely telling. But it'll be interesting to see if I start getting blocked because I use vimium.

Yeah I can't imagine that playing out particularly well. Maybe at a company as large as Atlassian it is feasible enough to stay isolated. But I'd think the relationship is tainted from both sides at this point and doesn't favor either party.

Is this how I learn that Bezos now has a beard? Interesting that it is a detail that all of the models chose to include (unless that was in the prompt and just not put in the post).

Perhaps I'm overly cynical, but I would wager these survey results are completely meaningless. Being angry at Sony for ending physical games is the "correct opinion" right now and all of the social media influencers are getting big views off of the drama. And a significant number of people will just parrot the outrage they hear about even if they don't actually care. But by the time the PS6 comes out, I would bet that a significant portion of those who claim this is too far and they'll never buy from Sony again will be back buying their devices.

It does suck, and you should join the PCMR. But I imagine this will blow over before long.

But there is a much higher chance of getting killed by any number of other concerns like by a drunk driver. Putting that one on the list of things to stress about seems unwarranted.

Exactly. And it is also incredibly short-sided and naive to push for more power for the government when you think it is just going to be used by "your side" for the issues you care about. When you want to wield those powers to promote your own ends against those you oppose, don't be surprised when those you oppose come into power and use those same powers back against you.

That is weird, I've daily driven firefox for the better part of a decade (aside from when my employers have required chrome) and seldom encounter issues. I'm curious where you're hitting these. In fact, since ublock origin got removed from Chrome, the experience is far better on firefox.

Also, if everyone chooses to not use firefox because it has low market share, it'll remain low market share forever.

Yeah I've found this quite odd. Even the LLMs want to pressure you to not use Redis and go all in on Postgres. Postgres is great, and I usually use it. But Redis is so trivial to add to your stack and it does what it does really well. Why not use the right tool for the job?

I really love the idea of a paper roll rather than individual sheets. Being able to print out to the size you want rather than only in pre-set sizes is quite cool.

If you want a fun read and you like sci-fi, check out Ed by qntm (https://qntm.org/ed). It is a short read, like 130 pages or so.

It is a true hellscape. It is useful when looking for work, but that is about it. Though it isn't without comedy. Seeing former co-workers posting about their keys for success and about how they've made it when you know damned well that they do worse than mediocre work is always a laugh.

Which logically makes sense. LLMs wouldn't have invented the pattern, it would have been learned as a common pattern in the training material.

No, it is because that is the content that people want to watch. I too create content that has been widely watched and don't include video ads or any of the other monetization features they push. But I create videos because I want people to watch them. I don't do it for the sake of myself and pushing it out into the void. I don't follow whatever the trends are, I create what I believe will be the most useful as I make educational content. And it works. But I post to YouTube because that is where people will find it.

If I were to self-host my videos or put it on PeerTube if I wanted anyone to see it I would actively have to go out and promote it myself. YouTube does that for me.

Yet those 2-3M channels get the lions share of the views. It is a two-sided system. And if you want to attract viewers, you need what they want to watch. Looking on the front page of peertube the most viewed video I see has 29 views. If I sort by hot, the "hottest" video has 692 in a month. If the intent is to publish videos to have people watch it, PeerTube is clearly not the place to do that.

Not for every situation. CLI is great for coding agents (and I'd agree, far better in most cases than MCP). But it requires some execution runtime somewhere to actually run. So for app use cases where you don't want to build out your own tools for every integration, MCP can be a solid option.

I guess I'm old-school then too. I `shutdown now` once I'm done for the day. It takes all of a few seconds to start back up. I see literally no value in keeping it on overnight.

Then again, I primarily use a desktop, so that probably factors in.

This is cool. As someone who has authored Kubernetes educational content in a past role, I can definitely see the appeal of building something like this. iirc we first used Katacoda and then used some other similar platform and they were very useful since they spun up a fresh instance on the fly for each user with a specific setup.

Though it seems like right now this is probably better for conceptual/architectural education. The real fun is when you start learning to master kubectl.

Those were the days indeed. A big part for me is probably because I was a teen at the time with little responsibility, but getting to be a part of the wild west days of the internet was a magical experience.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this. It really starts to feel like this when the agent is rushing to get an answer and keeps shrinking the scope until it can resolve it quickly.

I got the X4 a few weeks back and installed https://github.com/uxjulia/CrossInk and it has been a dream.

The key is stealing from multiple sources. Grab 3+ different sites that you really love and extract the elements that really resonate from each and meld them together into your own synthesis. Copying wholesale and tweaking a couple of things is lame IMO. That being said, pixel-perfect copywork is a fantastic exercise for improving your design skills.

Jenkins is perfect for this.

It would be hard to do worse than OpenAI in naming

Mine isn't doing too great of a job. It has a sketchy face cam that detects who the driver is and greets you and changes some settings. But half of the time it can't identify me.

This reminds me of when I signed up for cerebras to try it out and dumped $20 in and hooked it into opencode and the speed was truly insane. But my one session burnt through like $15 of that in seemingly a matter of minutes. I've since used those really high tok/s options for specific application use cases, but would not advise as a coding agent. Much harder to catch issues when it is moving a million miles an hour and then it is too late and it has already spent a ton of tokens.

Have you actually gotten it to build stunning designs? From what I’ve seen it still falls apart very quickly. They can do a decent job at building blocks but usually not putting them together in a cohesive way in my experience.

Assuming they are pointing out what looks like karma farming which isn't really in the spirit of the site.
