You clearly haven't played WoW in a decade, judging from this comment. > Even if you buy the expansion just to get the "feel" on how it was, it's impossible. You don't buy previous expansions after a new one launches -…
Yeah, totally valid for things like D&D - I split that out too, for the same reason. Work and homelab overlap constantly for me though. I make heavy use of periodic notes, so even something like recipes would get linked…
I keep one vault for almost everything because the cross-domain links are where the interesting stuff happens. I studied sociology, political science, and media & communication before moving into IT, and I'm still…
Third-party MCP servers create at least two different security problems. One is prompt/context injection through the tool output. The other is the much more conventional risk of executing untrusted code with transient…

Any single LLM-edited comment reads fine in isolation. The uncanny valley kicks in when you read thirty of them in a row and they all use the same "it's not X, it's Y" construction. The problem isn't that LLM prose…
> Overall this was a worthwhile assist. I believe (totally understandable) anti-AI animus is coloring a lot of these replies. That, and hindsight bias. People know the second version came from an LLM, so it's…
Interestingly, when I apply the "simply repeat the prompt" technique [1], Sonnet 4.6 on the website got it right every time, both with and without extended thinking. Not repeating the prompt got a mix of walk and drive…
You are essentially amortizing a single dose over 6 months by micro-dosing and receiving a clearly sub-therapeutic dose. While that may work for your specific usage, it doesn't change the unit economics for someone who…
I suspect a big reason for why Mounjaro is still fairly expensive here in Germany (I pay nearly €400 for a 10mg Qwickpen - a 12.5mg Qwickpen is nearly €500) is due to health insurance not being allowed to cover them for…
It would probably be interesting, but if you are not overweight, the appetite suppression will likely make this not a very healthy or very fun experiment. I started at 5mg in October, and even on that smaller dose I had…
One thing I have noticed on Mounjaro is a (at least subjectively) significant decrease in impulse spending / buying random crap off Amazon. I have ADHD and that has been a real problem for quite a while - even with ADHD…
Like I said, the first examples are fairly trivial, and you absolutely don't need an LLM for those. A good agent architecture lets the LLM orchestrate but the actual API calls are deterministic (through tool use /…
> But can't you do the same just using appropriate MCP servers with any of the LLM providers? Yeah, absolutely. And that was going to be my approach for a personal AI assistant side project. No need to reinvent the…
You could, but Claude Code's memory system works well for specialized tasks like coding - not so much for a general-purpose assistant. It stores everything in flat markdown files, which means you're pulling in the full…
Disclaimer: Haven't used any of these (was going to try OpenClaw but found too many issues). I think the biggest value-add is agency. Chat interfaces like Claude/ChatGPT are reactive, but agents can be proactive. They…
Not saying the frontier models aren't smarter than the ones I can run on my two 4090s (they absolutely are) but I feel like you're exaggerating the security implications a bit. We've seen some absolutely glaring…
IMO the value and differentiating factor is basically just the ability to organize them cleanly with accompanying scripts and references, which are only loaded on demand. But a skill just by itself (without scripts or…
I don't see how that makes it uniquely viable in France. Germany has something very much like this too. And we've had it for nearly 13 years. > Since 31 August 2013 companies which operate public petrol stations or have…
It's been a few days, but when I tried it, it just completely bricked itself because it tried to install a plugin (matrix) even though that was already installed. That wasn't some esoteric config or anything. It bricked…
From my experience: TDD helps here - write (or have AI write) tests first, review them as the spec, then let it implement. But when I use Claude code, I also supervise it somewhat closely. I don't let it go wild, and if…

Strange framing, isn't it? Bariatric surgery shows 25-65% significant regain rates depending on definition and timeframe. And regular dieting is even worse. Nobody would frame that as a safety issue. That's... just how…
