I suspect it's coal lobby sponsoring "green" iniviatives. Then the "green" initiatives sponsored by coal are anti-nuclear.

Why did you pay Aphyr to find all these holes in ParticleDB? Didn't you know about them before? I wish you the best, but this doesn't sound reassuring.

Psychosis?

I don't use Claude but this is the first time I hear someone say it's combative. People usually joke about it being too sycophantic.

I've found Claude to be the least sycophantic OOTB. But I've also been running custom system prompts for a while now and have lost touch with what the default behavior looks like. I've had to balance "push back when I'm wrong" and "act like a peer" style instructions which have lead to some pretty annoying one-upmanship style dialogue.

More specifically those instructions alone caused the model to narrow in on tangentially incorrect details while completely ignoring the thrust of my argument. I get where this could cause issues with writing code, but I do a lot more than write code with CC and the conversational voice is important to me.

That's a problem with everything (apart from firearms perhaps). I think backyard gold is a solid idea, just make sure no one's watching you dig.

I am going to dig an outhouse in my backyard. Nice big hole, lots of coming and going, no one wants to go inside. Perfect place to store my shit

The whole idea behind Bitcoin is that you can be your own bank. Binance is just an exchange. You cannot be JP Morgan Chase.

You can't be your own bank with bitcoin, you can be your own vault. Those are very different, and something that people can also already do today with fiat.

Despite its idiotic naming, I still use PureCSS[0]. Not sure why they keep maintaining it. I don't mind, nothing ever seems to change anyway.

How's your ten second evaluation of it?

[0]: https://pure-css.github.io/

I'm using it but it's such a pain in the arse to find anything else online about it.

It's one of the reasons I'm planning on moving stuff over to Pico.

Or now, I guess, just writing some CSS from scratch, which I hate.

I built https://purecss.com (not pure-css.github.io), maybe you'd find the site helpful? Currently it's 77 CSS patterns and another ~20 coming in the next few weeks. Each have a demo and the code underneath. Check it out and let me know if there's something you can think of that you'd like to see there. Happy CSS'ing!

So actually "pure CSS", and not the "pure.css" library that's so hard to search for? A lot of that looks pretty good!

Yes it is a pain. But the whole thing is like two pages, so I^H my LLM just reads it. I used to read it. It was ok readable (and I'm not very good at CSS).

I'm pretty sure I'd hate Tailwind, but please leave OKLCH alone. It is actually ok (as opposed to RGB and HSL which very much aren't ok).

> Does anyone use/like touch on their windows (linux?) laptops?

Sometimes I use it in Linux. Sometimes it makes my system freeze, requiring a hard restart. Perhaps it would be wise to disable it in BIOS.

Something wrong with your computer. My 11 year old XPS13 with touch screen has worked fine in Linux ever since I got it. And same with my Surface Pro 2 running Ubuntu.

It is a tragedy that 60+ people died. Laughs can be a coping mechanism.

> Distasteful and totally crass.

That's culture-dependent. In some cultures it's not unusual to joke about tragedies (even when they are one's own).

> I refuse to take a repo with an AI-generated readme seriously. If you haven't bothered to write a readme, what else have you not bothered to do?

I care whether the readme is any good, not who wrote it. If you haven't bothered to critique the readme and instead critique its suspected creator — something entirely in your head — what else have you not bothered to do?

> (100% AI according to Pangram btw)

So what? Who cares about Pangram? I certainly don't! You cannot detect AI — it's impossible. Perhaps it's just Kenyans?[0]
