In Germany headlights are limited by power consumption. The law was written pre-LED. Just another example of the ridiculously slow German government.

Yeah, I gave my AWS root API key to Cursor in agent mode. I learned that AWS charges ridiculous amounts for transferring and storing data.

Everytime I read such news, I'm glad that I ditched Windows for Linux. Since Proton makes almost all games run, I don't have any reason to use Microsoft's rotten software anymore.

I tried using oolama to run an LLM on my A6000 for Cursor. It fits completely in VRAM. Nevertheless it was significantly slower than Claude 4.5 opus. Also, the support in Cursor for local models is really bad.

The new UI in cursor is optional. You can still use the old one.

> Python SVG libraries create spurious connecting lines

That rather sounds like a bug to me.

I'd try browser automation to get the book pages, then OCR it (or just store them as images).

If LLMs make devs 19% less effective on average and the number of releases is growing the same, doesn't that mean that

1. Only a handful of devs use LLMs

2. For every developer getting less productive with LLMs, there must be developers that get more productive to keep the trend

Clothes for women rarely have pockets due to a combination of historical, social, and fashion-driven reasons that stem from gender inequality and ideas about femininity.

Key reasons include:

- *Fashion Prioritizes Silhouette:* Designers often avoid adding pockets to women’s clothes to maintain a "feminine" shape, as filled pockets might alter the line or appearance of garments[1][3][5].

- *Historical Gender Roles:* From the 17th century onwards, pockets became standard in men’s clothing while women’s garments often lacked them. Designers assumed women, not seen as independent or responsible for carrying items, did not need pockets—especially as men traditionally carried money and keys[2][4][5].

- *Social Control:* There is evidence that during periods like the French Revolution, women were banned from having pockets to limit their ability to carry or conceal items, reflecting broader efforts to control women’s independence and mobility[5][6].

- *Economics & The Purse Industry:* Some believe that limiting pockets in women’s clothes pushes women to buy handbags and purses, sustaining a large accessories market. There are claims that brands make more money from selling handbags than pockets—a practice dating back decades[5].

- *Cost Cutting:* Adding functional pockets can increase materials and production time, and some brands justify smaller or fake pockets as a way to save money, although this is only one part of the issue[5].

- *Persistence of Tradition:* Despite some progress, women’s pockets remain smaller and less functional than men’s, which many experts attribute to outdated design habits and persistent gendered thinking in fashion[4][5].

Ultimately, the lack of pockets in women’s clothing reflects deep-seated ideas about gender, utility, and aesthetics that have persisted for centuries and continue to affect clothing design today[1][2][5][6].

Can't (AI) crawlers just use a browser user agent? TL;DR: Yes, but with some more work that the big AI companies can surely manage to implement.

    To bypass detection, a crawler would need to mimic not just the user agent, but also the full set of browser behaviors, headers, and environmental fingerprints—a much more complex task that Cloudflare’s systems are designed to counter.

IIRC Claude Code indexes your code via a vector DB. That's why it's good for larger codebases. I'm not aware that GeminiCLI has this, too.
