Even though I didn't play a MUD for the text, it's entirely false to say that the text didn't add a lot. The writing made or broke the game, since it was all text-based.

Ah, I stand corrected, thanks.

That image isn't from a clothes catalog, they'd generally use the unaltered garment there.

If you don't believe it works, why make that comment?

Nice, thanks! You can't do that with Moonlight in Linux, I always needed to log in to my session first in person.

Sometimes I'm in a meeting where the item being discussed doesn't relate to me, and that's a good chance to put another turn in the LLM.

I've used Moonlight but didn't like having to unlock my Linux home PC to play. If I want to play remotely using my (idle) PC, what's a better solution? Games on Whales (which I'd never heard of before now, and I'm not sure if it works on Linux), or Moonshine?

https://handy.computer is the goto. It can even add an LLM pass (optionally) so if you say "remind me to buy three, actually, four, eggs" it'll type "remind me to buy four eggs".

Really? Doesn't a spouse have a right to privacy? I don't see how getting married makes you forfeit privacy rights you otherwise have.

Unless you mean that there's no legal issue with obtaining data in anyone, which is a much larger problem.

Ah, well, could be. I don't know enough about logicians to argue.

Why does him being a raging racist preclude him from being the greatest logician?

By the way, I've written up my workflow if that interests you: https://www.stavros.io/posts/how-i-write-software-with-llms/

You're welcome! LLMs definitely help with the migrations, there were definitely a few iterations because the surface area was massive, but overall it took the project from "will never be prioritised" to "I can work on it on and off when in boring meetings", which was a massive win.

I haven't found that LLMs help with CAD at all, but YMMV.

As for sharing here, the last time I shared something with "here's something I made with LLMs", the reply was "it shows", and that's just the latest instance. It just puts me off the whole thing.

EDIT: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48916013

I've shipped small, simple, unambitious internal things for our company that saved people lots of time, and I've shipped them in minutes rather than the a day or two they used to take.

I've just shipped a migration from our old auth service to the new one in a week, a migration that we've put off for three years because it would take the team months to finish.

I've shipped small side-projects that I'm the primary (and usually only) user of, but they now take me two days rather than weeks of effort and learning (e.g. https://www.writelucid.cc, https://pine.town, https://stavrobot.stavros.io, https://github.com/skorokithakis/dracula).

I've made changes in OSS apps that I just wouldn't have made otherwise (https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard/pulls/skorokith...), and even some closed-source ones (https://www.stavros.io/posts/adding-a-feature-to-a-closed-so...).

I've shipped hardware projects that would have taken me months of learning in a few days (https://www.stavros.io/posts/i-made-a-voice-note-taker/).

How's that?

Whenever I've answered this question, the reply was always "this is shit", so I don't bother now. Bad faith questions just shouldn't be answered.

Please do, that'd be very interesting. I imagine it's doable to use random per-device I'd when you're hand-flashing, but probably harder on a huge production run.

What was your anti-counterfeiting strategy? That sounds interesting.

Wait, why did he fall from grace?

Sounds less a Europe thing and more a "your company" thing. Our company gives Claude Premium to everyone.

Yeah but also saying "it's considered the best by the people who love it" is a tautology.

Probably a joke that the author looks like someone on the show? I'm puzzled as well.

Isn't that the same as Github "moderating" my Github account for some unrelated reason? Also, since Bluesky is decentralised, can't I just host my own data?

The GP comment adds social pressure so useless comments are less likely to be made.

There's something wrong with their site, all their prices have an extra digit for some reason.

I would if she treated me like the US does.

Pretty good, but it's missing the punchiness of "we wrote ten articles, and here's what we've learned: every tip, every misstep, every verbal tic".

I hate how it's everywhere now. Even my coworkers speak like this.

Haven't you heard? Everything is real these days. Now I have the full picture, and it's load-bearing. Here's the smoking gun, a belt-and-suspenders approach to article-writing. It's not writing, it's poetry.

Why would they need to do the review on a device that doesn't work well? That says something about your choice of broken phone, it doesn't say anything about the watch.

I do it too, but I "buffer" one person's speech while I process the other's, and vice versa. Do you process both at once?

Oh really? That's great to know, thanks! I didn't realise Luna was that good.
