Usually I create a Project in the UI, upload some files I think might be relevant, and just start asking things like refactoring, how can it improve the code, how to test (or which edge cases might be missing in the test files).

Once we get going, I start asking how can we change the code to do what I need to do, etc.

After the history gets too long and Claude starts bugging me about limits, I ask it to summarize the context of the whole conversation, and add that to the Project and start a new chat.
Sidenote : i recently tried cursor, in "compose" mode, starting a fullstack project from scratch, and i'm stupefied by the result.

Do people in the software community realize how much the industry is going to totally transform in the next 5 years ? I can't imagine people actually typing code by hand anymore by that time.
But the unintended consequence is that we were forced to weaken states' rights, so that we could abolish slavery. We could not have federally abolished slavery if we did not first give the federal government the power to do that. Unfortunately, the union had to take that power by force.

Apple is best positioned to run with the implications of these developments (though Microsoft will probably respond too) with both their historic operating system control hooks and their architecturally grounded respect for privacy (arguably of course). Apple seems to be paying very close attention to LLM developments, I doubt they will rush out an 80/20 response to these LLM agent control use cases, but I would be surprised if they didn't enter this product space.

Validating a submitted move is distinct from listing valid moves. I assumed the server would need to validate regardless of providing a list to the client.

Apple has been pushing for AR for years and years. I remember seeing demos when presentations were still live in person.

The whole concept of Vision Pro is “spatial computing”. Backtracking to VR would be a huge shift in focus.

The ring is not a product of the supernova. It's pre-existing material, that is being energized by impact of the supernova ejecta (it took a few months for it to start brightening).

For years I have been fiddling with the idea of a personal task management system that synchronized status, due dates, prioritization, planning, projects, etc across platforms, and came to a conclusion that nothing beats a flat text file (with own notation for all the above) synchronized well across devices via something reliable yet lightweight like google keep, that I "scan, update, reorder" at least once a day.

One huge insight was a notation to keep track of blocked tasks (usually by other people) and what/whom to "poll" periodically to check the status.

"“Middle ground” is not how rights work.
The government cannot infringe on your right to bear arms, to free speech, and to be safe of searches and seizures, among others. The rights have limits, but the limits need to be reasonable. The rights are not given to you by the government. You were born with them.

This system is casting a wide net, and people for which the government lacks reasonable articulate suspicion of a crime are getting unreasonable caught in it.

The government is unreasonably infringing on your right."

I'm telling you that Russia could take them to court if any international superpowers treated them with respect in the first place. Russia violated arms reduction treaties, invoked war on multiple territories they do not own, ignores the world stage and encourages fascist-levels of dictatorship under the guise of a democracy perpetually voting in Putin. Nobody cares! Those developers can go piss and moan to a state that probably doesn't take them seriously and is more likely to arrest them than support them. The consequences of Russia's anti-globalist stance is going to be felt by their citizens, even the innocent ones. But this is what Russia claims they want, so we give it to them by the truckload. It's the same terrible fate China claimed their citizens wanted so bad when they put up the Great Firewall to "keep bad influences out".

If you seriously believe in the color revolution nonsense then you've fallen for exactly the kind of myopic paranoia that Putin wants you to believe. I don't think the United States is always correct, which is why we exercise a functioning democracy and rely on the ongoing feedback from diplomatic peers and voting citizens.

This is SOP for basically all enterprise IT. If I didn't follow it I'd get a rap on the knuckle at best, and maybe fired at worst. I bought a separate laptop for contract jobs simply to ensure it stayed separate from personal stuff.

Other thoughts:

malware risks -- often aggressive efforts targeted at organizations compared to individuals; way more likely they get hacked first, and then it spills over to you. or, now you risk bringing down the company cuz you lookin at Pronz and get hacked and that gets back to their Active Directory, etc.

legal risks -- what happens if something legal goes down and there are fights about IP and ownership. looks like your laptop is seized. in every job I've had, anything I developed in on or around company property was theirs, and this may run afoul of that.

what happens if something breaks? now you're on the hook to fix it, and it may impact your ability to work and get paid. meanwhile if your work laptop is fried you call IT and it's on them until you're back.

I'm not a fan of vouchers in general, especially if they allow public funds to go to religious institutions, but educational choice (as IJ terms it) is a tricky area.

The benefit of sentence case is that you only need the rules of English grammar, simple and efficient. Title case is a layer above that and as you said, there is often little consensus on what should be capitalized and what shouldn't.
The pill version is showing similar safety and efficacy profiles as the injectable (leveraging higher dosage to get through the gut to the bloodstream), so runs to Canada and Mexico are probably in consumer futures to evade patent regulatory capture until 2030 (or getting it mailed from India, I have had personal success with this for other non controlled pharma products).
I imagine the state sees the land as their property, which private individuals don't, strictly speaking, own but merely hold infinite lease on (land tax = rent price, eminent domain = one-side lease termination with compensation, etc). This legal philosophy arguably makes some theoretical sense but has rather unpalatable practical consequences.

My nerd side objected to the artistic license there. The computer programmer character should know it's instructions to the user (necessarily terse on a very small character display), to load more blank US Letter size paper into the Paper Cartridge.

What a programmer would more likely be complaining about with a corporate workgroup page printer is someone spooling a huge job that DoSes it, piles of other people's printouts that they never picked up, toner out (and it's not in a sealed cartridge, so you're risking staining your clothes and hands as well as the carpet), paper jams (including paper that must be ripped out, and job reconstructed, after backlog of others' jobs), failing pickup rollers, some software they have to use that sometimes overloads the renderer RAM, the smell of ozone from heavy printing with no openable windows, etc.
.exe is better because it is scarier and evokes visions of computer viruses. .app is too benign.
This is something I did as an add-on to an obscure but useful data analysis. The notion is that people are most easily influenced by people who are "like" them. So, let's say you want to talk about politics; you don't necessarily want them to agree with you, but you want to find people to have engaging conversations with. Where do you go? Who do you talk to?

What we've got (hammer... nail...) is a precinct canvass (tells us how, at a level of hundreds of voters in a geographic area, people voted in an election). Can we do similarity matching and find geographic clusters which voted similarly? Yes, yes I think so. Before you scoff, this was tested at a larger level and met with great derision and paranoia before the principles underlying it were subsequently adapted as an organizing principle by a political organization whose turf was covered by the dataset.

So the notion here was: Plug in your precinct. Find other precincts which voted most like your precinct. Go to one of them, knock on some doors and see if you can find some like-minded people to agree / disagree with in a civil and engaging fashion.

I already walked my own precinct and was willing to do it... because I liked meeting people and found it entertaining. I thought this was a problem that people had: they didn't know where to go to meet people who they could actually engage with meaningfully about issues of the day. There's a caveat here: it's a two way street, and you might talk to people who change your mind about something or have some information that's not in your particular "bubble". Turns out that that is emphatically not what organized politics wants to do when they knock on doors.

http://elections.m3047.net/elections/perl/cluster-correlate....

For the record, I did walk some other precincts identified by this tool... just to see who lived there. It was eery, I felt like I could live in any one of those places much more strongly than just some random place in the city; the openness to conversation was similar to knocking on doors in my own precinct and much better outcomes from a standpoint of personal fulfillment.

So meta! I love this story
I use Firebase SDK with the FirebaseUI library on languagereactor.com. When users access the /login page, if the extension is detected, the signInSuccessWithAuthResult callback triggers getFirebaseSignInToken to obtain a custom token. This token is then passed to the Firebase SDK running in the extension’s background worker via messaging, where signInWithCustomToken() is called. The SDK in the background worker has an onAuthStateChanged() callback that notifies any listening tabs when the authentication state changes.

However, some users had been reporting issues related to third-party cookies and a few other minor problems. Recently, oeffectively running a 'DROP TABLE' on 400GB of Firestore data ended up costing $2,000.

I'm looking for an auth replacement. 2 million users, mostly free users. The system needs to support Google sign-in and email authentication, possible to integrate with React Native Expo, ability to issue API keys (thats probably separate). No vendor lock-in, under $500/month, happy to self-host. Any recommendations appreciated.
I'm torn on this one: Should law enforcement need a warrant to search your property? Certainly. Seems obvious, right? Except this is a "conservation officer" who has been granted certain rights (by the state of PA) to:

Enter upon any land or water in the performance of their duties.

See: https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/LI/consCheck.cfm?...

If they couldn't move between properties along shorelines they'd have a hell of a time doing their actual job. Any criminal could fish illegally on private property then flee when a they see a conservation officer approaching in a boat. They'd never catch anyone who fishes along a shore.

This lawsuit seems like a nuclear weapon being thrown at an overly zealous individual who possibly has some sort of personal vendetta against the property owner.
Not to mention that states can't just agree to give their employees more rights than what the constitution allows.
I'm willing to accept that the 90% of what they do that's things I really really agree with comes with some things I don't like as much. They're willing to take on cases like https://ij.org/case/florida-cultivated-meat-ban/ too.
In the US "people with smart phone" is larger than "people with a computer." The real people being left behind are "people without email". I have a neighbor in this state and we occasionally have to make a temp email to qualify for various discounts or the like. It would only muddy the waters if we anyone thought he actually has an email.
> If we want risc v to win, which I very much do, then it will need to be at least competitive, if not superlative.

The whole RISC-V "winning" meme is so weird. What do you gain if RISC-V "wins"?

Even with an open source CPU core you're not getting away from binary blobs. Any wireless baseband is going to be pretty much a sealed system for regulatory reasons. Manufacturers will still lock down firmwares. Attestation chains will still be required for security. HDCP won't magically open up.

High performance is largely divorced from the ISA and more related to the low level chip design and process node/chemistry. If RISC-V were to "win", the decent chips will still be manufactured by TSMC. Existing chip designers won't commit mass seppuku, they'll just start working on RISC-V designs. Compiler toolchains will just target RISC-V.

So to you what do you expect to change with RISC-V? Unless you've shorted ARM and just want them to go out of business there's no magic upside for you as an end user or even as a device designer. Maybe your next phone has a RISC-V cellular baseband? You're not going to be able to tweak the EIRP of the radio any more than you can today. ARM at the core of the baseband doesn't control that but the regulatory licensing.
I find 95% people should use decent GUI. That 5% I have never worked with.

Also 40% of devs it is a badge of honor “not using GUI” and fool themselves they understand what is going on.

Numbers based on my mood today and S&P500 performance last week - don’t take it personally but maybe take into account it might be useful to see those branches in GUI, maybe it is useful to have diff tool where you can click around, take time to understand the context of the team setting and what others were just doing and what is going to prod soon.

To my knowledge Google will do the same thing if you are running out of space. I believe it is shared also but I could be wrong. I have been out of Google's ecosystem for a while.

Apple should increase the base amount of storage with iCloud for free. What you mentioned itself is not an Apple thing to my knowledge.
