In a room of 23 people there's about a 50% chance two people have the same birthday

Playing with cursor was a whole lot of fun. Did some really magical stuff, especially with the quasar component library which is well-documented so it seems like Claude is able to reference it dependably.

With newer languages, e.g., Julia, I found it to be pretty rough around the edges, using a lot of deprecated methods and just overall not quite knowing what it was doing (although doing it confidently haha).

When I started trying to wrangle really large projects and getting lazy because it seemed to just work, then I would find myself in situations where the code totally diverged away from anything recoverable 😆 or "spaghetti'd" out of control 🍝 Then you just find yourself in this loop where it's just running around in circles. It's tempting to just accept its code, but don't be lazy... read it over and make sure it makes sense in the context of your project.

As with all projects, it's really good to sit down and write out the basic structure and steps of what you are trying to accomplish. That way you can create well-defined prompts to ask it to do and stay on task. I'm sure there are a whole bunch of preliminary steps that one can take to really make there flow smoother. E.g., in the case of a Vue project, I found myself having to remind it often to stick to vue3 composition API using <script setup>, or whichever convention you prefer.

Also noticed sometimes I just wanted it to restructure my code without actually changing anything, but it would take the liberty to do so anyway. So, gotta be careful with that.

Does anyone know of a way to just feed an entire documentation site into an AI and just have it always cross-reference the most up to date docs?

Also anyone here on the vim train ? The day I can converse with AI and not have to lift my hands from the keyboard... i may never unplug from that matrix 😆 it's really a fun experience to build stuff virtually.

Another thing AI has been great for is teaching me proper project scaffolding. A lot of my programming skills are from application-based learning, and damn was I causing myself a lot of headache not setting up tests and following other best practices. Force pushing to main like a total savage 😆

I think I was 10 years old the last time I used one 😂

haha how secure is this really? can i know with certainty what I'm sending is what is being received?

Let's take the famous Canadian trucker protest as an example. People tried to support the truckers and their sats go frozen because they were not the custodians. In that regard, the use of their sats are conditional, so less valuable relative to those who are custodians of their money.

The n-body problem has no general solution

That's why you put a bar above you and add a pull-up to it. Oooh-wee!

Pop!_OS makes great software in top of Ubuntu and also great hardware @ system76.com

They're just doing all around cool stuff, like their cosmic Wayland desktop in development.

I support them as much as possible

Yeah I don't know either, but it seemed very strange... I hadn't heard anything about this until I looked it up now but apparently they arrested and charged someone for it https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/fbi-arrests-alabama-man-january-2024-sec-x-hack-spiked-value-bitcoin

might just do that, thanks!

edit: wait so, maybe my cylinders aren't all firing right now, but what do you do to retrieve/broadcast the signed tx while keeping it air-gapped?

ideally the device wouldn't have any wireless module on it at all

Damn... even my laptop webcam can't scan the signed txs for an airgapped sparrow flow. Have had to plug in my phone and use it in webcam mode...

Seed signer is superior for several reasons:

Open source software with cool features

Seed not stored on the device

If you do it right, you have a pi zero without any wireless capability, so air happened

Pi zero had been around for ever and I feel way better ordering an unsuspecting neutral devic

Cold wallets have a place, but I believe most serious Bitcoiners will leave them behind in time, except maybe the seed signer. Another option is tails OS on a flash drive, which although have yet to try that.

Remember when the SEC Twitter got "hacked" and it was announced, retracted and announced, what, like the next day?

I either didn't see discussion on this or did no one else find that incredibly suspicious?
