For a long time I was skeptical of LLMs—whenever I reached for them I was disappointed by the results. Last year I tried Copilot and Cursor to tweak a game I’d built, and neither generated working changes. At a previous job I tried Gemini to outline product briefs and generate wireframes, but ended up throwing them all away. Every time I tried LLMs it was for something I was already good at, and they did a worse job than I would have.

When I use an AI coding agent to make a plan, I make a habit of opening that plan in my editor and then leaving inline comments with questions, requests and corrections directly in the file. The agent seems to be happy enough to work with these, and I find it gives better results than reading the plan in the agent and using chat to give feedback. By being a habit, it keeps me honest and stops me from slipping into lazy bad habits: wavin....

I rarely use Google Search now. In the past it was a cornerstone of my Internet usage. Like most people I would go to Google and type a search term, browse the results, skipping the ads, and then click on the link that looked the most promising.

Are any of you a part of a wider effort to set up meshcore/reticulum connection so that it reaches across your country? I have a couple repeaters set up on top of local mountains that have reticulum running on one chip and meshcore on another, with a solar panel feeding two 10000mAh 3.7v batteries through a charging circuit. I've also sent preset radios to everyone I care to stay in contact with. The problem with smaller meshnets is tha....

In Oct/2024 I asked ChatGPT for a portfolio to endure a messy world (original post here ). At that time I expected the Israel–Palestine conflict (on top of Russia–Ukraine) to be the main driver of financial uncertainty in the coming months. Fifteen months later, the conflicts are still there, but the volatility came from a different menu: U.S. surprises, Trump’s tariff war, a U.S. strike on an Iranian nuclear facility, and most recently ....

Would running a 4G modem outside your house for yourself or you community help with anonymizing where your location is? You can run these things for relatively cheap now with HATs on raspberry Pis and stuff like that, so starting a small cell network with custom SIMs and whatnot would be interesting if it would help anything/be legal
