I disagree, but think that there's a specific way to use AI to write. I use AI to get critiques on my writing, but never want it to actually produce text for me. I experimented with this by making https://www.writelucid.cc, and I really like it, I use it for all my writing nowadays.

Getting comments on specific sentences/passages and being able to debate them has been great for my thinking, and I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't work while writing with it.

I was, yep! Parts costs/general inflation.

$300,000 next year.

DS 4.1 Flash did manage to hack my watch:

Unfortunately, it made a mistake and bricked it. I handed over to Astra but noticed that my watch was dead, it must have died immediately before. Too bad, unlucky me.

Lucid only lets the AI give notes, not change your text: https://www.writelucid.cc/

But I still find that I have to consciously fight the urge to sound like an LLM. It's terrible.

Command + up/down is pg up/pg dn. Command + left/right is home/end.

I switched to iPhone for 2-3 months but the keyboard was so back I switched back to Android. If Apple can't get a keyboard (any keyboard!) to work in a decade, I'm going to an OS that works.

It's crazy that SwiftKey was terrible too, even though it's the one I use exclusively on Android.

I'm loving that "European" is a selling point now, but yes, agreed. Lichess is a gem.

GenZ English is at least understandable, it's wild, we're so cooked.

I think this is pretty recent, I'd never heard of it before. I even got a new phone a month ago and didn't notice this being an option.

It's not poaching to post an ad that someone who works elsewhere happens to see.

It's so refreshing to see that there used to exist authors other than Claude.

It was saying it can't tie the calibration results to a device, because it doesn't know the MAC address (I never asked it to look at the MAC address, it way overengineered things).

It also couldn't see the UART communication and could only see the web API endpoint, hence the rest of the slop.

It wasn't, it was saying it hadn't looked at the UART because it only had access to the web API.

Well, whatever its thinking block looks like, this is when it was talking to me. I suspect you're right, though, I think it thinks it's thinking.

It seems like it doesn't have enough of a theory of mind to know that other people don't think exactly like it thinks.

Astra told me yesterday:

> The run baseline was captured without a physical MAC; the current device is not durably bound to it.

> Engineering mode confirmation is the ESPHome component read-back; the LD2410 UART acknowledgement is not observed, so this is not proof the radar itself applied the sensitivity change.

No clue what the fuck any of it means.

Have you ever tried to follow all relevant laws in something? It's very hard.

Is painting for the sake of painting dumb too?

But he said amateur.

This helps put my mind at ease, thanks.

I donate too, monthly (and subscribed to backups, even though I don't need them), but some more transparency in their finances would be good.

I'm also worried about that these days. They posted an article a while back that Signal costs $50m per year to run, and that they make that money from "things". Together with how low a profile they keep, I'm not convinced they aren't a honeypot.

I love Signal and it's still my preferred messenger, but if it came out that they're backed by some government agency, I wouldn't be extremely surprised.

But if someone says "dogs have four legs, and cats have four legs", they aren't saying that dogs are cats.

Can I block endpoints whose cache rates are below a certain percentage?

320km seems like a very long distance to go without a rest stop.

Means Claude can't write for shit.

You buy it. You do task X, and go to store cable. You discover old cable Y exactly where you were going to store the new one.

Oh, I enabled that myself.

No, mine stays disabled and there's no way to enable it. It's just a label that says "disabled". Not sure why, maybe some sort of company wide profile?

If it didn't do anything, they wouldn't keep re-enabling it.
