The QR code that you use to transfer TOTP secrets to a new phone, is static. It never changes (unless you add a new service) and it requires no verification.

Do with that information what you will.

This could also be a legitimate lifesaver in places like India where extreme heat is common but delivery and gig workers have to travel outdoors.

If Jujutsu had become popular a couple of years earlier, it might have had a chance to catch on. I worry that it missed the most critical training window for AI and we may be locked in on Git forever.

your current wallet lets you add labels or stickers to your cards.

classic Apple situation - look, this is super clean, intuitive software! but if you want a reasonable level of flexibility that you would expect elsewhere, you are SOL.

In what cases do you need autoscaling on your home stuff?

nice concept! Beads did not age all that well, and Claude doesn't really want to use it since the TodoList upgrade.

Do you have any tricks for getting Claude to use guardrails effectively alongside (or instead of) TodoList?

Great, now do storage!

People shouldn't have to pay $$$ for a 128GB upgrade when a 1TB microSDXC card is under $200. It feels like a trick to sell cloud storage and new phones.

Any day that I learn something new about color is a good day.

Here's my favorite color factoid: There is no such thing as monochromatic pink. You have to make it by combining the two ends of the visible spectrum: somethung reddish and something violet-ish. So that means there is no pink in a rainbow, strictly speaking.

Data sources I'm using:

https://github.com/OpenSourceActivismTech/us-zipcodes-congre...

https://geocoding.geo.census.gov/

From my tests so far the territories and DC are pretty well covered.

Happy to contribute to your lawyer fund. I want to see how this plays out.

> the things he does.

The things he does is convince investors to give him billions of dollars to build what he wants. Where exactly does that leave us?

Should be doable to implement GoL on an ortholinear RGB keyboard using QMK

Lots of folks use the Claude Max 20x $200/mo. tier, I think. Gets you waaay farther than $200 of API credits.

You have a point. They're not similar. OTOH, people do compare them. I think Apple realizes this and the Macbook Neo is a brilliant move.

It doesn't cost $1000 to get into the MacBook experience anymore, so drastically more people will be buying them for their kids and more families will have MacOS as their default.

You ask Gemini to make an Elsa and Anna Frozen-themed coloring book page. It says no, that would be copyright infringement. So you ask it to make something as close as possible but without infringing. It happily obliges.

Hmm I know quite a few real people pushing QuitGPT and none of them work for Anthropic.

Reminder that at least in Washington state, all images from Flock cameras are public data and thus subject to public records requests.
