I guess some people might go with f-s-tayb, but I wouldn’t necessary recognise what they were saying.

I HATE those sites where popups come up when you are halfway reading something.

Agreed, if I did want to sign up it would be when I’ve finished, not when I’m trying to read your own bloody content. I often sign up using their own domain with something like sales@ or something ruder. Petty, but it’s a small vent. and if one person stops because of it I can die happy.

This is gloriously insane and I love it.

And then to casually drop in that

It’s how everyone who’s anyone does code reviews!

Lots of the industrial programming languages are very different to “normal”/“proper” programming languages, and I can see them being localised.

For example, this is (PLC programming language) Ladder Logic code:

It works great and the config is simple. It doesn’t handle triggering things from those keypresses, but you’ve probably already got something running that does that.

I happily use Helix for Rust, etc projects, and as a general editor. I switch back to VSCode for TypeScript/Svelte projects because the plugins make it more productive for me. I do miss the editing experience and need to check if there’s a VSCode plugin that lets me not confuse my muscle memory.

Helix was the thing that finally made me remap my caps lock key to esc.

I just had mine arrive yesterday!

I have one of these

I’m using ch57x-keyboard-tool to configure it, because I don’t fancy running some random closed-source Chinese code (the manual links to a file on Google Drive). It also means I can move over my config when I switch to Linux.

I have two keys for switching between headphones and speakers, and some set up for shortcuts I forget (like ctrl-shift-e for the network monitor in Firefox). One key types “hello” just because I can.

I’ve got the large knob controlling volume, and I can click it to toggle mute. The other two are currently set to scroll, but I don’t need that as my mouse has better ergonomics for scrolling.

I still have plenty of unused keys and it’s got three layers so I won’t be running out in the foreseeable future.

This isn’t a million miles from what bitcoin mining does, although in that case they’re trying to find hashes that start with a lot of zeroes.

DFRA

That doesn’t work, though.

For a recursive acronym, you want something like ADFRA Didn’t Forget Recursive Acronyms.

This might even be an appropriate use for AI (maybe even running in-browser for privacy). I imagine something that reads your prompt and auto-populates a few rings to search. You review and edit the suggested rings, then click search.

I just went to look for answers this, since report-uri.com is killing its free tier, and the lowest paid is way higher than my usage justifies. What did you settle on?

I like the take that they have in that thread: Perforce is forking Puppet into a non-Open Source version (but they’re keeping the name).

That’s the first argument they make in their petition.

I thought we were finally agreeing fully! My understanding of the question is “what is the difference between a third (of a pizza, say) and a half?”

1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6
1/2 = 1/3 + 1/6
a half is one sixth more than a third.

btw, I fixed my Kagi screenshot since I’d missed a word from the question (reading comprehension’s clearly not my strong point today)

Ah, you’re right - I misunderstood jbrain’s point to just be about the “relative to the original” understanding. Guess I’m no smarter than Google’s AI.

Yes, and the Google AI response is correct (and quite clear) in what it says. edit: Thanks Batman. I mean that Google’s understanding of the question is logical (although still the maths is wrong as you say (now I’ve re-read you)) and its answer explained the angle it was answering from.

However, I think the reasonable assumption for the intention behind the question is relative to a whole. I had third of a pizza, and now I have an extra sixth of a pizza. It’s subtle, but that’s the kind of thing AI falls down on.

Google’s AI seems dumber than the rest, for example here’s Kagi answering the same (using Claude):

edit: typoed question originally

Perhaps Google’s tried to make it run too cheaply - Kagi’s one doesn’t run unless you ask for it, and as a paid product it’ll have different priorities.

While I don’t disagree, this article is pretty bad and unconvincing. Is it a draft or something dashed out to collect referral fees?
