I'm well aware that I'm in the minority, but I have never been able to focus on anything - especially programming - other than in absolute, total silence.

(Yes, I'm an only child.)

I don't know if you're in a minority. I think people just don't like a boring answer like "silence".

I was raised in a big family, and I prefer silence when I need truly deep focus. From my experience in open floorplan offices, a majority don't break out the headphones until it gets noisy enough. Some people would even come in early or stay late for exactly this reason.

It's really not. As a one-person IT department I'm now able to build things in hours or days that it previously would have taken my weeks or even months to build (and thus they didn't get done). Things people have wanted for years that I didn't ever have the time for, I can now say "yes" to.

Then I would say they judged the situation correctly when they decided to raise prices.

That said: competition will soon kick in.

Yeah totally. I’m just surprised they did this AND ended the 2x promo simultaneously.

I had my hopes up to switch to local but my first few passes didn’t pan out with that so far. But I’m optimistic it’ll land soon.

I think I need to lower my ambitions too. I got my hopes up since AI can do everything but how long it takes to do it right can really drag on

Sounds like, in the words of Douglas Adams, a SEP.

This isn't your problem; this is management's problem for cutting headcount, or not caring about the things that people wanted.

As it isn't your problem, paint it bright pink and move on.

Yeah the ops alone is a huge win. It’s such a win I didn’t even think to mention it ha.

Dangerous too of course. So many times I’ve had subtle unexpected side effects. But it’s all about pinning thins down well and that’s what we’re all still figuring out well

Maybe in a post-Soviet country they did. In my school they shredded them so the next class had to buy a new set.

Why did they do that?

Presumably because the school district got a slice of the money from the publisher.

What? Are you serious?? :o Sorry, this is the saddest sentence I have read in a long time.

Yep. A public school in NY suburbs in the early 1990s.

Well... I am sure someone made good money out of that.

In Slovenia, a post-Yugoslavian country, the school library coordinated a textbook borrowing scheme, where they would own all the material and lend it to students each year. Parents would pay a small "subscription", so each year or two one subject would get new books.

That's how it worked in USSR in 80s. The school supplied the books and they were the ones that the previous grade used. If they got busted beyond all repair only then they'd be replaced with new.

So turn it off.

They changed it to `attribution`, but yes you can customize this

I'm on Max. This morning, just to test, before doing anything else whatsoever, I was at 0%, and I typed 'test one two three' into CC.

That put me at 12%.

I have no MCPs except the built in claude-in-chrome.

This is clearly a bug.

I was pleased to find that I chose the font I actually use.

Hilariously, I had the exact opposite. I use Fira Code, which I eliminated in the first round.

Same, or at least the closest one (Iconsolata for Consolas)

It’s nice, but why call it “pixel perfect” when it’s not - not even close? It’s, as you say in the title here, “style”. Doesn’t actually look like the real 95, just has the same vibes.

Most controls are not even close to what Windows 95 was.

LLMs don’t care. Welcome to the new internet - words aren’t there because a human wanted to communicate something, but because a machine found it statistically plausible to insert those words.

AI slop. Updated.

No. The simple explanation is “cat”.

Exactly this. Cats just like fresh things that don't currently smell like cat. That can be a new sheet of paper on the table, a new cardboard box, freshly folded laundry, etc.

That's not a thread you want to pull on, it applied to the majority of the comments on the internet.

… they’re not? Who said they are? The article even explicitly says they’re not?

For 40 minutes, the article claimed they used LLMs. They changed the wording twice: https://theopenreader.org/index.php?title=Journalism:CERN_Us... and https://theopenreader.org/index.php?title=Journalism%3ACERN_...
