1-shotting documentation with AI is a bad idea. You then have to have multiple verification passes to have any chance of it being worth anything.

Like if you have an AI generate a runbook, then you better have the AI actually validate the runbook and make sure it is correct.

I really like my Boox e-reader because I can install any android app on it. I run Storyteller on it and it syncs position to my storyteller server. So i can listen to the audiobook on my iPhone and then pick up reading on my Boox from where I was listening.

There's 2 different parts of their terms about this. One seems to forbid it. The other basically says that you can do it as long as you aren't shipping some kind of update to the app that changes its nature significantly. Basically the generally accepted viewpoint in the industry is that you can OTA bugfixes and small changes but you if you ship whole features without going through app store review first you are definitely on thin ice.

What isn't solved is domain-specific jargon with these tools. When i talk to my coding agent, i want to be able to speak the names of symbols and files and have it be aware of that stuff, like having LSP integration.

If I say 'useSuspenseQuery' I want it to come out as useSuspenseQuery not 'use suspense query'. Even if I had to say 'symbol useSuspenseQuery' to give a hint that i'm referencing a symbol, that would be fine.

Comparing Social Media to Heroin seems quite hyperbolic to me as someone who has had people in my life die of opioid addiction.

Social Media isn't even as bad as Tobacco I'd say let alone Heroin.

The repos i work in are hard-coupled to being in a git repo. So in order to make jj workspaces work for me, I've had to do the very hacky thing of literally copying the .git directory into the other workspaces.

It actually works quite well and has never caused me any issues. I tried symlinking but that does not work, git doesn't like the .git being a symlink.

100 years ago they sold pocket sized books so people in cities could ignore each other by reading books.

I love my Boox, I run Storyteller on it instead of the native e-reader. I love that it’s just an android tablet with an e-ink screen.

I think it's pretty clearly for amusement. And it would kind of spoil the amusement if it were to explicitly mention that it's a joke...

I don't have soft water so i blot the lenses dry with lens paper. Works amazingly and my lenses last so long since i switched to the dish soap method.
