I've long been a big fan of Porkbun, switching over to them from namecheap who I supported from back in the SOPA era. But today Im very frustrated. A friend of mine was required to go through Age…

A key critique The article is well argued and well written, as far as I’m concerned. What’s needed if you really want adoption is to define a term; something like 256-ex for extended. Or whatever.

I don’t have the source (I’ll have to try find it), but I read that the cell site simulators can work on 4G and earlier but don’t work on 5G. So one thing folks can do is set ur phone to use 5G networ…

Fully agree. The AI companies have broken the basic pacts of public open data. Their ignoring of robots.txt files is but one example of their lack of regard.
With the open commons being quickly pilla…

I think matrix / element are already working and very usable BUT what is needed is that big push to add the polish. I agree with others here, the matrix project would do well to realise that it’s…

I recommend this excellent podcast (episode) that is dedicated to going over his life and impact.
Incredible person and story! https://pca.st/episode/e2940e8b-c7da-43bd-abca-8750…

Wasn’t their translations project “pre AI”? That’s not running an LLM is it?

My city is car dependent and often no effort goes into making it more walkable. Would love a version that renders a mix of cars and trucks onto any roads, to show up how crap the experience would actu…

Feels like part of an ongoing slippage in internal standards. Maybe they just need to vibe code their way out of this /s

yep exactly my point. Grab the domain first, and then get the relevant socials 'usernames' (Less relevant these days with people using so many diff socials services). My usual steps are: 1. …

Register and reserve the domain first. You can hold it as yourself for as long as you need. No harm to having domains except a few dollars of annual cost. It’s easy for another person to register it a…

Intangible financial systems rest (simplistically speaking) on fundamental concepts of trust and reliability (aka what I expect to happen will happen). Once these factors start to breakdown, all these…

I’m wondering out loud if you might be able to purchase what would essentially be the component parts of a solar panel but deconstructed (eg frame, cells, glass, wires; maybe the cells need further de…

In the very fun board game ‘Evolution : Climate’ you “breed” animals designed to survive the climate conditions on the board. One strategy is to switch to breeding ‘carnivores’ that then can feast on …

While many rich are benefiting, they are still driving demand, that is funding continuous improvements that funding further efficiencies innovation and driving down the cost per kWh. In a very really …

No need to go off grid. You getting solar and battery already positions you to be able to ‘exit the grid’. The experience in Australia has been that the major retailers keep charging infrastructure co…

From what I’ve been reading, sodium ion batteries are about to land later this year and look set to drop costs upwards of 60%. That and they can be cold booted and stand much more temperature diversit…

It’s so good to see code restoration projects. In my experience it’s more common to see devs leaning into “not invented here” even unintentionally. So much value in getting behind well loved community…

Solar is highly distributed. At the most basic level with a solar & battery system the production and consumption and CONTROL are all yours. You own it and it's literally on your property. Re…

That text was from v0, the responses improved from there.

Is djot… meant to be a shorthand on idiot / “Idjiot”? Considering the clear markdown lineage id expect there would be easier memorability and discoverabilty of the project if it included ‘mark’ i…

Yes. It’s the nature of the walking not where you walk. Actively seek to go up and down hills, aka varied terrain. Walking in nature (aka trees around) has proven health benefits also.

> Why does a human need to read this code at all? I use a custom agent in VS Code that tells Opus to write code for LLMs, not humans. Think about it—why optimize for human readability when the AI i…
