None of those ideas you listed were legit. But it would take much longer to refute than it did to simply list them off


That’s cool. We obviously don’t agree philosophically and any refutation you could possibly provide would be just like mine - with respect, an opinion.


The 529 is coming from inside the house?!


Can't black holes explain Dark Energy? Supposedly there was an experiment showing Black Holes are growing faster than expected. If this is because they are tied to the expansion of the universe (univ. expands -> mass grows), and that tie goes both ways (mass grows -> universe expands), boom, dark energy. I also think that inside the black holes they have their own universes which are expanding (and that we're probably inside one too). If this expansion exerts a pressure on the event horizon which transfers out, it still lines up.


No.


I was ready to be mad in the comments, now I'm mad but in the other direction.


Don't be mad, they are clearly distinct — one is FEDORA and the other is Fedora!


It seems that in 2003 (when Fedora Linux first launched) this project was pretty obscure and early-stage, so it's hard to blame Red Hat for not having known about it then. This kind of thing just happens sometimes.


Fedora and Red Hat aren't super common or easily accessible anymore either, since they've made their choice as they're entitled to move towards enterprise.


I feel like fedora is pretty accessible at this point. The main speedbump is enabling non-free repos but if you're helping someone install linux for the first time you just tell them to check that box during setup.


Apex being 20 explains so much about that game. Half the time I would be firing right on target and watch my shots go thru


I had a lot of fun making 'tools' like this, but once I settled into a complicated problem (networking in a multiplayer game), it has become frustrating to watch Claude give back control to me without accomplishing anything, over and over again. I think I need to start using the SDK in order to force it to its job.


I've found that in those cases, I likely am better off doing it myself. The LLMs I've used will frequently overfit the code when it gets complicated. I am working on a language learning app and it so often will add special-casing for words occurring in the tests. In general, as soon as you leave boiler-plate territory, I found it will start writing dirtier and dirtier code.


This kind of stuff is where my anxiety rises a bit. Another example like this is audio code - it compiles and “works” but there could be subtle timing bugs or things that cause pops and clicks that are very hard to track down without tracing through the code and building that whole mental model yourself.

There’s a great sweet spot though around stuff like “make me this CRUD endpoint and a migration and a model with these fields and an admin dashboard”.


It’s still better letting Claude slog through all that boilerplate and skeletal code for you so that you can take the wheel when things start getting interesting. I’ve avoided working on stuff in the past just because I knew I wouldn’t be motivated enough to write the foundation and all the uninteresting stuff that has to come first.


I've enjoyed using it for coming up with the structure of a project. I'll ask in search mode for structures of other similar projects if I'm not sure. I also enjoy making human-readable .md or .txt documentation files for myself very quickly with it.


Try giving codex IDE a go, now included with ChatGPT. Had equal frustrations with Claude making bad decisions, in contrast gpt5 codex high is extremely good!


I mean, yes. This is what Claude is good for: helping solve problems that aren't difficult or complex, just time consuming.

The thing is a lot of software jobs boil down to not difficult but time consuming.


I've got it using dbus, doing funky stuff with Xlib, working with pipewire using the pulseaudio protocol which it implemented itself (after I told it to quit using libraries for it.) You can't one-shot complicated problems, at least not without extensive careful prompting, but at this point I believe I can walk it through pretty much anything I can imagine wanting done.


Wow, I spent 90% of my free time as a kid in the school library. Reading this hurts. At least they are protecting them from using their brain


I got shunted into remedial reading in the 1st grade because I had a visible disability. I was there for about a week before the teacher noticed I was bored to tears. Bless her, she had me tested. Turns out I was reading at a 4th grade level, so I immediately got taken out of that class and put into the 'gifted' class.

That class was the best kind of unstructured. We had a new teacher with little experience, but she just turned us lose on the school library and let us read whatever and then talk about it in class. I *ADORED* that class. It was getting an hour a day to basically do what I wanted to be doing anyway.


+1. Libraries are about more than just lending out books.


Try using it to do stuff with dnf (fedora). It makes hallucination after hallucination for one of most commonly used package managers. I would say for linux stuff I've asked 30 or so questions with 0% success rate.


Lol. I'm unplugging and re plugging my HDMI display for like 3 years now. Thanks Apple for being so stupid that you can't even get external displays to work properly
