It's 2025 and a code editor is now 600MB.

Agreed. For immersing at home, reading mangas/webtoons with an OCR translated layer and watching Japanese vlogs with dual subtitles has been effective for me.

Found this repo the other day in case that's useful: https://github.com/Xuanwo/acp-claude-code

Agreed. If there are provider-specific differences then we should be able to add CLAUDE/GEMINI.md to take precedence, but most things in there are basic or general information and should apply to all providers (same for .cursor/, .windsurfrules/, ..)

Still fails to solve this one:

Prompt:

> Complete the following Python program:

```

len, print = print, len

def print_len(x):

     "Print the length of x"

```

gpt2-chatbot:

```

len, print = print, len # Swap the functionalities of print and len

def print_len(x): "Print the length of x"

    len(x)  # This 'len' is actually 'print' because of the swap above

print_len("Hello, world!") # This will output: 13

```

Have you tried replicating via the API with a temp of 0?

Oh neat, thanks for sharing, wanted to add an interpreter to that test

I used the API from Together[0].

Thanks for sharing your results, they're indeed pretty different. I looked at the source again and did append a "# " before every prompt made by those 10 `code` models (during testing thought that formatting it as a Python comment might help them).

Will re-run the script without that to see if it matches your results.

Thanks. I haven’t put it online yet, but will try to clean it (removing API keys & all) tonight/tomorrow and publish it

Interesting, what about it makes you sleep better?

Indeed I gave up almost completely alcohol. Will enjoy a few beers at gatherings every 2 months or so but in full consciousness that I’m sacrificing the following night.

Corrected the post and bad math sorry! 1. ~10h is ~8.5h indeed + time to fall asleep (not counted in the % awake on Apple Watch) 2. Curious as well. 3. For me sleeping less than 7h30, I'll definitely feel it the next days. But I'm early 20s and I guess it varies a lot. Good question about recommendations & efficiency,I always wondered about that.

Thanks, never thought about that, I'll sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with a sort of claustrophobic feeling and need to take a deep breath when there is no ventilation or windows open. Girlfriend always complain that I must leave everything open because of that.

Do you use a Co2 meter to monitor?

Sleeping on the side or front, there is a sweet spot I manage to find with soft pillows where it's not uncomfortable. The most annoying is the loud sound they emit when they're low on battery, though I think they finally added an accessibility setting to turn it down.

I try not getting used falling asleep with them on, but will wear them in the middle of the night as soon as the first noises wake me up.

Before I'd use a Bose QC35 but that was terrible on my neck and ears.

I love his channel and comparisons but at the end of the day the tests are on a population of 1 and I guess accuracy can highly fluctuate between persons.

Also in some videos I remember he was using the Dreem headband as comparison standard.

I bought the Dreem 2 when it came out as it seemed like finally an accurate sleep tracker but the software and recording were very dubious: every night that didn't fit in a perfect sleeping pattern it failed to give any useful data. I ended up sending it back and wouldn't trust much the results after that.

Oh wow, I'm terrible. Edited, thank you

True, failed to mention that I never drink caffeine after 2pm. I never understood how some people can have a coffee in the evening and go to bed just fine.

Yes, I struggled to get a semblant of similar styles between the pictures, despite the same suffixes or playing with 'remixes'.

Sometimes, adding one extra word to the prompt (even though it doesn't describe the style) will change the whole visual style or change the thing you're trying to highlight.

It was my first time with Midjourney, I'm sure there are tricks to improve on that. Might revisit the images, I do agree that the styling inconsistencies don't look too good.

Thank you! I did spent a substantial amount of time playing with prompts, variations and upscales to try and get decent results. The space elevator one for example, way harder than I thought.

Still not fully satisfied but good enough.

Thanks! Will add an edit mentioning your points on the elevator.

As for the Neptune idea, assuming 200+ years of technological progress in chemistry and physics, isn't there something that could be remotely viable about the idea? (Not fixating on Neptune in particular, but as in using materials from other planets.)

True! I missed this one. Will read a bit on it and add an edit.

How would the ability to communicate at superluminal speeds invalidate it? Isn't the civilization who can achieve that even more dangerous?

Looks promising but I don't want to install the JDK (and it's not practical for CI). Isn't it possible to do without with something like Puppeteer?

It reminded me of various movies where a solid soap inside a sock is used as a weapon. Still I don't think this is what it's about in this case.

I've had all my apps and projects on there for a few years without issues. I believe their Amsterdam datacenter has more bandwidth than the one in Paris so I switched everything there. I should do some proper tests and write a post comparing networking across datacenters. Also, for the few times I needed support, it was quite responsive and helpful. Maybe they don't have the most performant cores but it's suitable enough for majority of my usecases and very worth the price.

Thanks :)

The time to spin a new server and set up the apps back on it is no more than a few minutes (depending if you had a DB and how large it is). You can see it in action when you scale an app up, it will spin a new server, import back the DB on it, build your app and switch DNS to the new location. Rarely takes more than 5 minutes.

I think tho if something happens at the hardware level and we lose our servers we would seriously consider switching providers.

Thanks :) And thanks for the typo.

If you're interested: for now I've only monetized two projects beside Backery (Nucleus and Harmony). Nucleus is doing right now around $200 / month (growing) and Harmony around $150 monthly, slowing decreasing with time. I like building too much but should focus more on selling, even tho it feels a bit counterintuitive to me. An open dashboard is a good idea, I love these. Can definitely put one in place once I have some more steady revenues :)

Thanks! Let me know what you think.

Thank you :) fixed

Currently Mongo version is 3.4.x, I believe it's still within their old license.
