wow, framing. "people say they prefer quitting smoking, but actually they prefer to relapse when emotionally manipulated."

The most commonly taken action does not imply people wanted to do it more, or felt happiest doing it. Unless you optimize profit only.


But why is there no such pushback agains linux kernel? What makes that monolith you cannot customize different enough from systemd? What if I don't want to use in-kernel usb stack, or audit, or key management, or LSM modules, or ELF binfmt support, or filesystems — you are forced by the distro to use all those features. Yet with systemd it's somehow different. I'm genuinely curious

that's cute, but dismissive, sort of like "if you use popen(), you are reimplementing bash". There is so much hair in ld nobody wants to know about — parsing elf, ctors/dtors, ...

that deserves a whole separate opera. why does moving the cursor to start/end almost always place it one character off? same when trying to use touch on text for it.

This. I feel like this is due to small shifts when lifting the finger. For the life of me, I cannot get myself to lift it like the testers at Apple do, and so I wished the product itself could go through learning phase; studying intentions and what actual touches happen.

Apple devs are probably doing something with the touch returned by the touchUpInside callback. This is an extremely, extremely common bug in iOS apps, not just with Apple developed software.

Devs love the symmetry of their touch handling code and often have the finger-down, finger-moved, and finger-up callbacks from the system all call the same handleTouch function they wrote. As you can tell, however, the touch from the finger up callback is often better discarded or handled differently otherwise you get these sort of bugs


They are once you know them. I still haven't found great sources of telegram channels. Only ones being surfaced are from the funnels "how to run k5s on a baked potato? I just published guide on my tg, which you can find on my linktree that is in my ig profile!"

That's what I keep thinking about when I see those "once I started taking Claude, I lost 95% of my developement time" posts. Are they really making 20x the software, or are they and their customers simply believing that, watching all those endless streams of green checkmark and rocket emojis?

Is there a chart of music that people like, or at least a good approximation of what people like? Probably last.fm was something like that at the very beginning.

Are not music charts a list of songs people are expected to like, or else?


Asked Opus a question on Openrouter. 0.30$

Asked Minimax 2.1 that question. 0.008$

At some point it stops making sense. You cannot use "the good model" just for the hard bits without basically hand writing you own harness. Even then, it will need full, uncached context.

Feels like consulting a premium lawyer to ask how much time is it.


pole-vaulting records improve incrementally too. and there is finite distance left to the moon. without deep understanding and experience and numbers to back up the opinion, any progress seems about to reach arbitrary goals.


So I tried it and it is worse that having random dude from Fiverr write you code — it is actively malicious and goes out of it's way do decieve and to subtly sabotage existing working code.

Do I now get the right to talk badly about all LLM coding, or is there another exercise I need to take?


Hey, serious question that I ask in good faith: would you be open to a screensharing session, where we compare approaches and experiences?
