For a solo project, sure, you do you. But for any meaningful collaboration, deliberately mixing tabs and spaces - and relying on a manual, semantic convention to use them the "right" way - will inevitably lead to a maintenance / consistency nightmare.

I've often heard Toyota cited as the Japanese manufacturing exemplar, with their "kaizen" (constant improvement) approach.

Correct. Also, it wasn't a youtube video.

My comment was about an Opus 5.5 medium refusal, for a request which was then satisfied by Opus 5.5 low.

Yeah, everybody hates it. It's called "layout shift" and it's one of the most universally-acknowledged antipatterns in UX. See e.g. CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift), one of the 3 primary KPIs in Google's "Core Web Vitals" (the pseudo-standard set of web perf metrics aimed at quantifying UX quality).

Opus 5.5 medium is a real sweet spot for many many things. But. I got an unexpected refusal (for help creating a browser console script to convert a web-based streaming video to an offline-ready .mp4), which Opus 5.5 low happily provided.

sawing (cutting through something, eg wood) -> sowing (spreading something to grow, eg seeds)

Pnpm is still better in every way.

AR glasses are a scourge

Use pnpm!

> Took a while to convince people that the DB was always going to read 16KB chunks so we could reduce IO by changing the primary index so it was based around an ID that was unique to the tenant

Yikes. I'm mostly frontend and even to me this seems pretty clear.

scraped -> scrapped

totally different words

that's a statement (as a rebuttal), not a question, right?

Yeah, "Intent-based UX" is evolving to address this challenge, but it's got some catching up to do AND is far from mainstream....

Good points. Also, thanks for the Reuters link. Buddhists as a group have for centuries been (fairly) associated with peace and nonviolence. The situation in Myanmar is a tragic anomaly. The article you shared sheds at least a bit of light on it:

> Relishing his extremist reputation, Wirathu describes himself as the "Burmese bin Laden."

Wirathu is clearly a sociopath -- and the furthest thing from a real Buddhist. If only people weren't so easily led by those who use religion as a means of control....

That's a really uncharitable take. Yes there's client logging by default, but those who are privacy conscious probably also continued to read the very next few sentences in the same section of the docs you quoted, showing precisely how to opt out.

Mo/s means megabytes per second (the French abbreviation for mégaoctets par seconde). It measures data-transfer speed and is equivalent to MB/s (capital B) in English.

Yeah, smolvm (from https://smolmachines.com) is awesome. Have you written up your setup in any detail?

Agreed! FWIW, here's an analysis of the techniques it uses: https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/how-they-did-it-inception-exp...

Yes! Thanks - that's what had cemented the association in my memory.

It's also a concise and accurate description of the service. All this gnashing of teeth over "could've been AI-generated" is overblown and tiresome.

I'm not usually into cringe humor, but IMHO "I Think You Should Leave" is its own category. Episodes like Hat and Hot Dog Car ... I almost hurt myself laughing.

See also the fantastic movie "Searching for Sugar Man" (the less you know about it going in, the better -- I recommend avoiding the trailer if possible)

Whoa, TIL! I love Christopher Nolan films. I'm guessing there might be an OSS toolkit or multimodal LLM able to do this kind of de/reconstruction with an avi or whatever file format.

Related tangent (creativity assoc w a Nolan film), one of my all-time favorite web pages is this interactive visualization of Inception^1 which makes the levels of dreaming and the related slowing of time intuitive. Sadly it's desktop-only, but well worth it.

What a unique and amazing game that was. Reminds me of Brett Victor

$100k/month per employee?

um.

same. pick a card w good rewards, pay the statement balance to $0 every month, reap some benefits while strengthening your credit score.

Thank you! That makes sense. It's how I'll remember it now.

I wonder if a better model (and/or higher effort level) than GPT-6-Luna would produce a different result.
