lizardking··on DoorDash to acquire Instacart
So what these services do is bring you food in exchange for money. If you have money and need some food they will bring it to you.
lizardking··on Tesla Roadster
I think they are fairly reliable if nothing else. Certainly not cheap or practical.
lizardking··on Claude Haiku 5.5
The update they added here[1] yesterday makes it appear that usage is covered by your subscription by granting you credits. That's the way I'm reconciling the above comment with their update on the site.

lizardking··on Claude Haiku 5.5
Just to be clear - claude -p use will now consume credits rather than count against your normal claude code usage? This seems like a significant downgrade.
lizardking··on Sites in ChatGPT
I've found it to be very helpful. A fairly painless approach for hosting a quick prototype.
lizardking··on Sites in ChatGPT
I've been using this for probably six weeks. It just popped up as an option one day in Codex.
lizardking··on People hooked on vapes try a new way to quit: cigarettes
Most people who think they want to quit are still in the "wanting to want to quit" phase. When I truly decided to quit (because of a family health issue), I quit cold turkey and never touched a cigarette again.
lizardking··on Ogre Battle 64 Recompiled Project at 99.05%
I know there are a lot of recomp projects like this out there - are there any sites dedicating to aggregating them all and tracking their progress?
lizardking··on Neovim have a ~$800k Bitcoin donation sitting untouched since 2023
"Number go up" people
lizardking··on GitHub Is Experiencing Difficulties
You don't say
lizardking··on Almost no skill required to cook a steak
True, what constitutes "Medium" on your individual stove is maybe the one single complicating factor! Otherwise it's:

- Cut steak in preheated oven at 250 degrees. - Pull at 125-130 degrees internal temp - Cook one minute per side in a skillet on medium heat

lizardking··on Almost no skill required to cook a steak
Cooking a genuinely good steak also requires almost no skill. I can give you a chicken scratch note with 3 bullet points and it will come out nearly perfectly.
lizardking··on Startup founders urge U.S. government not to shut off Chinese open weight AI
That's the real reason, that's not the actual argument.
lizardking··on John C. Dvorak has died
Is CJal here supposed to be JCal by chance? I feel like that was close to 15 years ago, but I'm in the same boat. I used to listen to almost every show Twit put out, which was quite a bit.
lizardking··on Setting up your spare Mac for Claude Code to control, a step-by-step guide
My setup is sort of reversed. The powerful machine (framework desktop) is my headless AI machine and M1 mbp is my daily driver. Works well!
lizardking··on Reviving a 15-year-old netbook with Arch Linux
This machine is a good candidate for Damn Small Linux. I've put DSL on much older machines with a full snappy GUI experience.
lizardking··on AI content is everywhere on social media, especially LinkedIn
My LI feed is almost entirely AI slop at this point. I have second-hand embarrassment for all the people who are obliviously broadcasting "thought leadership" that is transparently the work of AI to their entire networks.
lizardking··on GPT-5.6
I consistently have better results with Codex for the work that I do. People have been saying that for six months, but until 5.4 the experience was sufficiently slower that it wasn't worth the switch. Making the switch was frictionless. Give it a try
lizardking··on Grok 4.5
Literally everybody else is doing that too
lizardking··on GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly this Thursday
Sharing names with cryptocurrencies from four-ish years ago, the hype cycle is nearly complete.
lizardking··on In the age of algorithms and AI, is traditional media democracy's defence?
We better hope not
lizardking··on Single Dose of Frog-Derived Gut Bacterium Eradicates 100% of Tumors in Mice
Never been a better time to be a mouse
lizardking··on Om Malik has died
I remember him talking about that on This Week In Tech (Twit). RIP Om
lizardking··on Updated Xbox Console Prices
Sony and Nintendo, probably.
lizardking··on I am a person who will look at the Steam Machine and cry
I predict it sells out
lizardking··on Anthropic's model naming, extrapolated
The Chinese models are well written fan fic
lizardking··on Why are so many young people getting cancer?
My college roommate died of cancer before 30. Fuck cancer
lizardking··on Private equity bought America's essential services
I didn't say there was an alternative
lizardking··on Private Equity Bought America's Essential Services
Going the IPO route is not an option for most of the companies being acquired (vets, plumbers, electricians, construction companies, etc.)
lizardking··on Taking a walk may lead to more creativity than sitting, study finds (2014)
Some of the most complex problems I've ever solved were solved when I was mowing my own lawn with a push mower. Just in a trance. Many of the best life decisions I've ever made were when I was on a walk, thinking things through.
