Agreed!!

I would have loved something better but sometimes you just have to make do.

WebSphere was 99% Java (except for a few pesky dlls) and I never saw any oddities, it worked the same as it did on the old x86 VM I had which was woefully under spec. Our entire software platform was on WebSphere.

It really was a meaty box, which was a huge help because the tests originally (before IA64 box) used to take all night to run.

I have a funny story about a windows IA-64 box.

I was working for a large bank and it was all windows, including production. We used to run WebSphere Application Server on Windows. I was looking for a dev server to run unit tests on, including integration tests which required an actual WebSphere instance. The infrastructure team said they had “a box” going spare and it turned out to be IA64 on Windows.

If my memory serves me correctly WebSphere only ran on windows for IA-64 up to 6 and we were running on 7.

I had to do a bit of hacking but I did manage to get it working using the dlls from the 6 version. It was fine for running integration tests and a pretty fast box considering.

> how do you use Claude over telegram ?

Here are the docs. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/channels - actually I couldn’t even get this going myself so I asked Claude to do it (meta) and it did, I also had it set this up with a launcher and it all starts up automatically just like openclaw.

Luckily my pixel was fully unlocked- phew.

Personally I appreciate the clarity and technical enforcement vs banning accounts.

I switched OpenClaw to MiniMax 2.7. This combined with Claude over telegram does enough for me.

OpenClaw used to burn through all my Claude usage anyway.

Uh oh. I just brought a pixel 6a from Swappa, was hoping to use a different os. Not arrived yet though.

Ha! I just saw one of these this morning on LinkedIn, an engineer complaining about AI / Vibecoding and thought exactly the same. I find these overreactions amusing.

I don’t know why this is so controversial it’s just a tool, you should learn to use it otherwise as the author of this post said you will get left behind but don’t cut yourself on the new tool (lots of people are doing this).

I personally love it because it allows me to create personal tools on the side that I just wouldn’t have had time for in the past. The quality doesn’t matter so much for my personal projects and I am so much more effective with the additional tools I’m able to create.

Anyone on hackernews know why ? I see so many posts like “xyz datadog alternative” presumably this is a poor message then ?

It’s about observability and strongly related to Honeycombs o11y 2.0 vision.

I think sales and consulting can be a bit of a cheat code here.

You spend most of your time with customers and so you just kind of navigate their politics without actually involving yourself.

The money can be better so it’s a better deal and you’re mostly shut out from the politics of the organisation you work for anyway.

“I don’t do 1-on-1s, and almost everything I say, I say to everybody all the time. I don’t really believe there’s any information that I operate on that only one or two people should hear about… I believe that when you give everybody equal access to information, that empowers people. And so that’s number one… Number two, if the CEO’s direct staff is 60 people, the number of layers you’ve removed in a company is probably something like seven.”

I’m still using it for watching movies on flights, pretty decent at that. Best in flight entertainment I have ever experienced.

I tried to use it for work too and that did not work out, for me the text was too fuzzy and it became frustrating. Reddit forum made me think I was nuts but recently has been shown to be deliberate to reduce screen door effect.

Thanks for taking the time to write this. I appreciate it, I read it to my wife and she agrees we should stop thinking about the why.

It’s not so much that we want them to be normal or are particularly worried about that, we are very anxious though about what happens to them when we die and what abuse they might face.

Thank you this is helpful. The genetic part makes sense to me, my wife has PCOS and they have a history of ovarian problems in their family. There are studies linking PCOS and autism and to high levels of testosterone.

The mystery to me was why they are so different.

My 8 yr old identical twin daughter’s have severe autism but one is definitely worse than the other, one of them can use some words but the other is completely unable to communicate.

I have absolutely no explanation for this, I cannot think of anything different that happened to them. They didn’t have antibiotics or surgery at a young age like in this story either.

This is exactly how I approached it the first time with just the ear plugs. I find those machine sounds can be quite soothing and hypnotic on their own. I’ll give the music a miss next time.

I thought these were a nice idea when I had my MRI the other day, little did I know that I would barely be able to hear anything over the noise of the MRI machine. Ear plugs were better, kept out the noise of the MRI machine and let me drift into a trance.

I wonder this has applications for brain degeneration in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and MS.

Anything improving neuroplasticity could be great additions to the treatments for these diseases. I’d like to see more of this get out there and approved.

Isn't the Guinness Book of World Records like this? in the sense that it gives people the opportunity to find something nobody else has done and gain some kind of status that didn't really exist before.

I absolutely loved watching the show "Record Breakers" as a kid, we should try to expand opportunities in this way it seems very positive for society.

I was close to returning my Vision Pro but after using it on a plane recently during a business trip (I travel a fair bit) I will definitely be keeping it. It has been the best in flight entertainment by far, watching 3D movies on here while flying is outstanding. It felt like I could touch the water when I watched avatar. It’s also useful for having a big screen when I’m sitting down on a sofa and using my laptop, however, when I tried to use it for work longer term, like 7-8 hours it was just too uncomfortable.

Have you tried a treadmill with a VR headset on? It’s not the movement that’s the problem it’s combining it with a VR headset.

As it stands though VR motion sickness is an even bigger problem for a park ride, sometimes you can get used to the sickness but if you’re doing it for a one off ride.

Sure but I think that Disney is likely to be presenting this as a potential consumer use case and if it can’t make traction there it seems pretty fatal if they can’t find a way to make money from it.

We see a lot of POCs like this that never make it anywhere.

John Carmack pointed out on X that there is a fatal flaw in this design:

“I am skeptical of something like this making an impact for consumer VR, but it should be possible to integrate the sensor input at the OpenXR level, allowing it to work with all apps without needing per-app specialization.

However, it probably doesn’t “solve” motion sickness, because the vestibular system still won’t think you are going forward. The bouncing around motion of walking does have a masking effect that will help some.“

I personally could not get over the awful bout of motion sickness after I played my first “walking around” game on VR.

The UK always had a program that allowed you to become a teacher without a degree. It involves a diploma followed by gaining QTLS (Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills) status I believe. Is this not the case in the USA?

Sort of depends where you are. I was working in the UK and moved to the USA and my earnings and lifestyle shot up. The USA is very variable depending on the state you are in. The studies mentioned may not properly account for that variability.

This argument that the LLM is learning seems slightly flawed when you consider that other experts in the field consider it more like lossy compression. If it’s lossy compression that’s really happening here then you can understand the copyright argument. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, lots of new ground breaking.

FORD- fix or return daily ?

I’ve certainly been noticing this recently, the problem I have with it is that it’s hard to get a frame of reference.

I get offered content on X and I don’t get where it’s coming from or why and I’m not sure if it’s actually something I should be concerned about. It’s all gotten a bit “weird” if you ask me.

Sure just call yourself a “Solutions Architect” or something sufficiently general. Lots of folks need them to get projects off the ground. I’ve done this role at a consultancy and it truly was doing just about everything.
