"Why does the country with the fifth highest GDP per capita have better infrastructure than the country with the ninth highest?"

The Ludditism in this thread, and the linked thread, is shocking.

We need a new word for people who use the word ‘Luddite’ to refer to ‘reasonable concern over the reckless use of new technology’.

Is it Ludditism to not want to get PWNed spending $3k a month?

Setting it up that way is a choice a user would have to make. Just set it up on an oauth or budgeted api and not be an idiot. Setup additional guardrails in OC if you think are necessary.

throwpoaster · 2026-04-03T23:05:34 1775257534

Yes.

All new technology has issues. Figure it out.

Especially if you're spending $3k per month on inference, have the model fix the agent.

I suppose the idea is to wait for someone else to productize it.

Lazy.

What’s the use case for editors when agents write the code?

geophph · 2026-03-30T08:12:53 1774858373

Agents can write faster with vim keybindings

throwpoaster · 2026-03-30T16:01:35 1774886495

You got me.

This is actually super interesting, but then I realized it can't be true. :)

Reading the code. Sometimes I also try to race claude in another worktree.

That's fun, good call. PR review can happen in web interface (when GitHub is up).

some people still write code

Edit the agents slop

> The only downside of the USB cable tester is that I would love to support more plugs on the B side: USB-A (for my Frankencables) and USB B (which everyone but seems to think extinct).

Music production peripherals, until the recent USB C transition, commonly used USB B for some reason. Anyone know why?

Technically correct is best correct! Touché!

The problem is you're getting downvoted by the people who didn't.

Bold to assume downvoters vote on first-hand knowledge.

I wish the Polaroid exposed film.

ETA: I know how hard that would be with bricks -- would need a custom piece for a light enclosure.

Mac Neo

Weryj · 2026-03-13T08:11:22 1773389482

Sure, but the screen/keyboard aren't necessary

throwpoaster · 2026-03-12T14:22:11 1773325331

The MacBook Neo is, to my mind, almost certainly a sink for rejected mobile chips. My understanding is that they run a nominally six-core chip in five-core mode.

This is fine, and actually a brilliant business move to monetize inventory investment that is otherwise sunk while releasing a new product that doesn't require them to fight for fab capacity.

It's just not something I'm seeing in the consumer discourse that, perhaps, people might like to understand.

throwpoaster · 2026-03-11T20:40:34 1773261634

No worries, it’s unenforceable.
