I recently got a tiny and mighty GPD win mini. I booted windows once to shrink the data partition and installed Bazzite Linux. Painless install, never even considered booting in win again, and so far all games I tried worked flawlessly. I know there are issues with anti-cheat, but I usually don't even like those games..
I'm in Austria. There are price aggregator sites likes Geizhals and Idealo that helps you find deals across many stores. More often I just go to a store I know and like. It happens I pay a little more, but not having 15 cheap options with one off brand names is actually more a pro than a con..
This is really pretty. A loong time ago when I wrote a Lorentz attractor on my 486 with turbo pascal and inline assembler, I could only dream of such smoothness back then...
I don't think I'm a hardcore slop hunter really. Suno was fun to play with, what comes out feels icky though. Perhaps that is because it is low effort though, my attempts certainly were.
That is an interesting point. I am not sure how to define Slop. I am 100% sure you could use Suno for something that doesn't feel horrible. I tried and failed bad. But maybe it is possible. Typically I just hear on the surface song like audio but without anything to make me care about the song at all.
I don't oppose synthesis or samples. But arguably Suno songs typically goes way little beyond that. If you didn't chose the samples, didn't chose the words, didn't chose the voice, but vibed for a few mins what you did is not made a song, you heard a song. And the songs suck.
Yeah, the ad situation really is so horrible it is worth paying to get out of it. Also supporting an inde dev to provide a useful app with the equivalent of a nice cup of coffee doesn't feel all that bad.
1. hx is fast to start, and fast to use, it looks pretty too
2. the defaults are pretty good, i added a few bits and bobs, but customizing hx is not a way of life for me. emacs and neovim had me stuck in endless improvement loops...
3. tui works great on remote servers, it is nice to have the same setup on my mac, linux, and server. sure other editors does that too but also hx.
4. i got all the lsp i need. arguably getting my languages.toml setup was more fiddly than I wanted. In practice I found getting the setup right on other editors also was a bit of a chrore though.
Exactly, I think the takeaway is that being careful when formulating a task is essential with LLMs. They make errors that wouldn’t be expected when asking the same from a person.
Codex has got me a few times lately, doing what I asked but certainly not what I intended:
- Get rid of these warnings "...": captures and silences warnings instead of fixing them
- Update this unit test to relfect the changes "...": changes the code so the outdated test works
- The argument passed is now wrong: catches the exception instead of fixing the argument
My advice is to prefer small changes and read everything it does before accepting anything, often this means using the agent actually is slower than just coding...
My son and I just did the first collection of lessons. The Swedish translation isn't perfect, but he understood and enjoyed it immensely. Well done, I might have to buy a board now :)
I do care how my things look, I've written books, papers, reports, CVs, slides and posters (the last two was admittedly painful). I think I reacted to a very dismissive tone towards LaTeX from typst fanboys who cannot imagine why someone would still use LaTeX, but thinking about it - I don't like the tone of my message either so I'll delete it.
I remember that once there was a site that added random words to your google search to unbubble you / make your results more interesting, this feels similar. Anybody remeber that thing?
