I really enjoy this format. Like reading a story from the authors life. Like you might read in an autobiography. I don’t think I write this way very often, but I enjoyed reading it. My takeaway is to …

I don’t want to read AI slop either, but it only seems to be a rule for comments.

And the keyboard is SO BAD. :P Source: I still own a TRS-80 CoCo.

How are you doing this with Opus. Clearly I’m missing something. I always turn to ChatGPT when I need images because Opus typically refuses. I’ve tried Claude Code and Claude online in the past. I’m p…

Aside: The Typora website is horrible on mobile.

I wore these glasses for two years. I won't buy them again for reasons mentioned elsewhere. In that time nobody ever mentioned them. It's relatively difficult to pick these out in a crowd, u…

I agree, but unfortunately, they don't have great quality or support. First, I've had these for about 2-years. I purchased them to capture candid pictures and video's on a cruise and th…

That's a $5k 32GB card for anyone who doesn't know all these off the top of their heads (like myself).

Yes. You might be talking about the 14Kb problem. https://joeldare.com/the-14kb-problem

Even this is more complex than many websites need to be. A few months ago I wrote about why I often create pages in pure html and css. https://joeldare.com/why-im-writing-pure-html-and…

Possibly a simple SD?

I didn’t look at the prompt but, as an aside, Anthropic recently did a blog post about how they reduced the size my 80% for Opus 5.

> The case went to trial, where Klayme was found guilty. There’s a lot missing in this sentence. What evidence ended up convicting him?
comment
I was wondering where the 116 surviving machines are. These are not the type you see in Utah (American made 4-4-0). Instead they were built for rough (sometimes temporary) track and steep inclines. Of…

I was going to mention an Atomic Clock. I use one in an RV and it sets itself even outside of cell phone range. I know it uses a radio signal of some type but I have no idea how it works. It rights it…

You may not have scrolled up. Much of that is included.

I did some fade tests with several pens and a pencil on a laser print. The pencil and toner were the only things that hadn’t faded in direct sunlight after two years. Even high end pens faded. To be f…

I was filling notebooks too quickly and didn’t know what to do with them so I switched to a Kindle Scribe. It’s more expensive than a bunch of nice paper notebooks but it’s worked well for me. I expor…
comment
I would argue a large percentage of us are creatives and that might have driven us to software engineering. That’s the case for me, at least. I love many other creative things but selected software fo…
comment
Not op, but, because I’m not a designer, I’d probably try to use an AI tool and maybe give it specific instructions to make it suck a little. Then again, not being a designer, I’d probably make it suc…
comment
I’ll second this. I’d probably follow along even though I don’t own an ally.
comment
I’m curious what sensors you’re using? My first thought was a camera up above the pins pointing down that can detect them. There are probably more reliable methods. If it were me, I’d seek to simplify…
comment
I see a lot of young software engineers who don’t realize how much you can do on your own and how simple it is.

What’s your preference? I also “preach” GitHub pages a lot but I’ve also written about hosting on a Raspberry Pi in my bedroom. https://joeldare.com/private-analytics-and-my-raspberry-…

I created Neat CSS for some Hardcore IndieWeb users (though I’ve never used that name before now). https://neat.joeldare.com You’ll also find a free email course where I walk you through h…

I’m worried about the switch in business model here, which is part of the reason I just switched to LM Studio from Ollama. > use the largest frontier open source models through LM Studio Secure Clo…
