OpenRouter works great! I wrote a coding agent CLI that uses it, new models get added all the time. You can check out the code here: https://github.com/nerds-with-keyboards/flite/blob/main/bin/...

I think clamshell mode was a killer of those models especially. I never ran mine closed and still use them for gaming to this day (since they still run Wintel). Not even a single key failed yet

Last week I built my own CLI coding agent tool using just nodejs and zero dependencies! It is a lot of fun to build, really, I think everyone should try it out

i guess we can all tell who works for ad-tech!

seriously though, some of us have been using the web longer than JS has existed, and it works fine without it.

i personally just updated my purpose-built (for SEO and other non-JS contexts) router for React, which now lets one curl a page and you can see all the text contents you want and even has low quality image placeholders. so you can view the whole page with no-JS. it really isn't very hard to support!

that's a great observation. previously to (finally) trying Tailwind for the first time, I would write utility CSS classes to handle those cases like a stack or grid and it worked great building alone. Unfortunately, CSS is really hard to do with others, especially in a big team. Classes always added instead of using the existing one, nothing ever cleaned up. Tailwind is nice in that you get all the power of CSS, just a bit more ergonomic of an API. Plus using it really is just using CSS, just with all the possible utility classes already made for you!

that said i do like to still use classes like "btn" to consolidate a bunch of styles. I think it was a mistake for TW devs to discourage that pattern for so long.

there's two types of workmanship, where one camp focuses on becoming more and more proficient with progressively more advanced tools and the other focuses on blasting through the piecework as quickly as possible. obviously the latter is much more common, but on a site such as this there still exist faint traces of the former.

so you don’t use websites?

Interestingly, not having a robots.txt pointing to a sitemap is considered an SEO error by tools like SEM Rush.

Are you using the cloud sync with Dexie? I built an app on it but it seems to have a hard time switching from local to cloud mode and vice versa. I’m not sure they ever thought people would want to but why bother making cloud set up calls for users that didn’t want it.

Overall I agree, but I think developers usually err the other way, where they are afraid of running any shell commands outside of invoking their developer tools.

I really enjoyed this article because I found it refreshing- it felt like it was intended for hackers. I love to learn more about different shells and functionality vs yet another unicorn's latest product announcement.

it is worth it to go through and block all bot followers. your engagement will likely improve afterwards.

very interesting- i actually enjoy monitoring claude code and telling it when it is going the wrong way on something. i also don’t mind monitoring the car doing its lane keeping, perhaps it is an autism trait?

These look amazing! Would love to have these on my prescription glasses

engineers have nothing to do with it any more, is the entire issue.

a banker's million! new term

I was hitting throttling a lot on the $100 plan, but I haven't been throttled even once on the $200. so for me it's pretty unlimited. haven't gotten past using two agents at a time, though, so maybe that has something to do with it.

some of us understand that tragedy of the commons situations are almost exclusively caused by governments themselves.

more authority doesn't help in those situations, it is the root of the problem.

This seems to imply that the person in charge at G was right to cause this outage... and that Google is very short-staffed and too poor to afford to do proper engineering work?

Somehow that doesn't inspire confidence in their engineering prowess. Sure seems to me that bad engineering leadership decisions is equivalent to bad engineering.

it did tons of commits when i started to have a really big session yesterday, and i didn't even have to ask!

also with claude code yesterday i just told it a few times "hey that didn't work, let's go back to what we had before." works just fine also!

tell it that you won’t accept any new installed packages, use language features only. i have that in my coding prompt i made.

they don’t really, at least not in any universal sense. in the military (marine corps) we always used YMD with slashes. i would say that in non-military contexts, dashes are seen with YMD more frequently. but dashes or slashes are used for both YMD and MDY and there's no legal rule or regulation nor requirement to use one or the other. some people just pattern match quickly and assume too much based on that.

that's why i stopped using capital letters!

wow. i've met his son David and interacted a small amount with a couple of his grandchildren. this was in very poor taste. and i really hate some of the things he was responsible for!

useful, sure. like a calculator for text. intelligent? no, and neither is a calculator

"handwriting" an HTTP client is too much work for a developer? you need to import a library that does it for you? wow. abstraction at any cost, eh?

who are the idiot investors propping this thing up for a billion USD to just create more pollution and scam the public? but of course, it's us!

> The Swiss company says it has raised or received approval for around eight hundred million dollars, and is therefore worth at least one hundred billion Icelandic krónur. The largest part of the capital comes from the US Department of Energy

interesting that this is widely-known as a scam, and yet the DOE still pays for it. i can't imagine how they sleep at night.

> Al Gore gave a TED talk in 2023 where he discussed the carbon capture and disposal industry and specifically mentioned Climeworks. He made fun of the company, calling the capture industry nothing more than a cover for oil and gas companies to keep their businesses afloat.

ha, that's always been my biggest gripe with ts

yeah this is what i remembered too when i saw the name. that extension was so great!

by asking three different models and then keeping everything single unique thing they gave you, i believe you actually maximized your chances of running into hallucinations.

instead of ignoring the duplicates, when i query different models, i use the duplicates as a signal that something might be more accurate. i wonder what your results might have looked like if you only kept the duplicated permissions and went from there.
