@cas This. So. Much. Even if there's a work that's drudgery, I don't want to hand it over to an LLM. Because it rids me of the possibility to learn and gain knowledge. Of course, drudgery is still something I'd like to avoid, but in my experience, doing a deep dive into this annoying task often […]

saw someone on HN say they will never contribute to Nura again since we ban LLM generated contributions (they had receipts too, they had contributed in the past) their argument was that having done device porting manually before, doing it with an LLM was something like 10x faster having seen […]

TARDIS microwave TARDIS microwave
microwave product info on mediamarkt, photo of the microwave showing it's 288mm inner width with the (poorly translated from German) description: "Inside large, on the outside small
Make the most of the space on your countertop – and get the most out of your microwave. It offers a 29 liter cooking space with 288 mm turntable, but is only 486 × 405 × 292 mm (W × T × H) on the outside. This means that despite its large cooking space, this Panasonic microwave requires 20% less space* on the work surface!

If you're a user of the "opinionated" (LOL) Omarchy distro, you might be a simple few clicks from code execution from your browser This is a touch more fun than the boring (but seemingly effective?) ClickFix-style attacks where you paste commands into a terminal.
