logicalappeals··on Casio F-B100W-1A
I love the F91-W. I’ve owned a few of them. Each one had the same problem; the band would crack and break before the battery died. I foresee the same issue with the non-metal banded versions of this watch. Also the stated 2yr battery life is kind of meh in comparison to the F-91W. I’ve got an F91W that’s been running on the same battery for nearly a decade.
logicalappeals··on Societal Impacts: Claude's values across models and languages
Is it just me or has Claude become kind of judgmental nowadays? I feel like it’s constantly trying to lecture me about things that have no relevance to the conversation at hand. Recently, I was shocked when it ended a chat sessions of its own accord after I used a word it did not like 3 times. It told me something to the effect of “This is the third time I’ve told you not to use that word, I’m ending this conversation now.” It then proceeded to call some function and end the chat on its own. IMO, Claude is good at agentic coding; but too preachy and judgey for anything else. Keep your values to yourself Claude.
logicalappeals··on Show HN: Rubiks Cube Solver
HN hitting new lows when slop like this makes it on my feed. This is neither original nor inspiring. Props on the umpteenth Rubik’s cube solver, I guess.
logicalappeals··on 3D Airplane tracker on Mercator map
Wayyyy too cluttered and overwhelming on mobile. I spent a few minutes trying to figure it out before I just gave up.

logicalappeals··on We made Grok 4.5, GPT-5.5, and Claude build the same apps
> This feels like a kid trying to do science.

lol. These are the comments that keep bringing me back here. Great feedback delivered with a dash (or more) of salt.

logicalappeals··on OpenAI ‘in early talks to give 5% stake to US government’
Agreed. 5% seems like enough to throw a dog a bone, but not have enough skin in the game
logicalappeals··on HISE – Toolkit for building VST plugins
I’ve used HISE before. It’s great stuff for audiophiles and audio nerds looking to jump into audio plugin design. Relatively easy to use and worth checking out. Kudos to the devs!
logicalappeals··on Accelerando (2005)
If you like this, also worth checking out Greg Egan’s books. He wrote Diaspora. Great read.
logicalappeals··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
Anthropic looking to garner some good will after the recent issues. I’ll gladly take the higher rate limits
