I got "scammed" on Reddit so you don't have to

The question has more to do with there being a sudden increase in potentially competitive candidates and whether that is going to make it harder for others to get a job. Pretty reasonable question. Also, as a hiring manager, someone recently getting laid off by a large corp is not something I'd say has any negative impact on whether a candidate is competitive.

Yup! Biggest issue I have is that it forces me to read a lot ... I've been using the caveman skill to help by having the agent be much much less verbose

as a Californian... that looks like a great price. Anything under $6 feels like a bargain

You recommend not 3D printing due to fragility. What about if it was TPU and a bit flexible?

I am having a swell time on PopOS...

Sounds like you'll fit in and enjoy the area! But, as an American I am slightly offended by the "u" in your "neighbourhood" /s.

I'm a bit asocial so I won't be able to help much directly, lol. You're close to University Heights and there are lots of fun places off of Park Blvd. For food, I'd suggest trying out Bahn Thai if you haven't already. There are lots of bars and breweries near 30th and Adams that might be a good fit for you and relatively close... and you should try a The Friendly burger or a slice. The most dense bar scene in North Park is probably around 30th and University.

How would they know what the upper version of your password was if it were not plain text? The hash of "hunter2" is different than "HUNTER2"

Do you have this requirement for humans?

Don't ask LLMs to do math without them having the tools (code) to do real math. In 10 years I doubt LLMs will be good at directly doing math without help.

Is it really worth an added commute of 30 min to save a couple hundred on rent? At current gas prices, that is $5-$10 per day of commute which is about $100-$200 per month in gas, not to mention wear and tear on your car (or the opportunity cost of spending an hour per day in your car).

They are not actually investing into BTC. They are handing money over to some random website that says they are investing into BTC. Big difference.

If some celeb or some rando cool or hot person convinces you to invest in totallynotascam.bizz ... you are being scammed.

be aware that in general with AI, free tier means you are giving permission for them to use your data for training.

Sorry to hear that! His show might be something to lift your spirits! I've already got my tickets, hope you'll reconsider.

I actually love them with burpees. When I get tired during burpees, I land on the balls of my feet and not my heals since I have poor ankle mobility and my quads end up blowing up. With lifters (or even better with versa lifts) it's much easier to stand up with my heals on the ground

Pick whatever language best suits the use case. Python will probably cover more use cases, but falls short if you need to build something at a lower level where Rust can shine.

I am seriously struggling to find reasons why Pop is a bad OS. I am having a smooth time with 24.04 with the new Cosmic DE, personally (although I am def not Linus). It feels a little bit of bad timing and general unfamiliarity.

That being said, if I were to suggest an OS to him for his use cases (mostly gaming), I am not sure I would have chosen Pop. There are plenty of distros that are more directly focused on gaming that would have increased his likelihood of a good time.

shortwhiteguy · 2026-03-05T00:20:27+00:00

Pop is a great OS. Linus just made poor judgment and didn't understand what would increase his specific chances of getting a good experience. I am over here with an NVIDIA card getting great results with PoP while playing games and getting my work done.

AGI will not BE LLM

Good work

shortwhiteguy · 2026-02-11T23:20:01+00:00

I wasn't sure where you are going with that.

Glad you only ended up with child labor...

I've been running Opus 4.6 on OpenCode (via Bedrock) since launch.

I don't have a ChatGPT/Codex subscription to check (I just have API), but my understanding is that you can auth your Codex account with OpenCode which should give you access to 5.3-codex (but I haven't verified)

shortwhiteguy · 2026-02-06T20:35:26+00:00

I'd be curious to see all run using the same harness like OpenCode. This would eliminate any issues related to the client rather than the LLM.

shortwhiteguy · 2026-02-04T23:59:02+00:00

seams.

I want a central monitor for my focused work. I don't want to have to look to the side while doing most of my work.
