It can be simple things like using your race, hair color, etc. to infer things about you and treat you differently.

I'm in Germany and I really enjoy the Norwegian weather app YR, it's nice and simple and very clean.

Id argue they run this site as a forum for tech discussions, because that alone gives them a huge boost to their image and name recognition, without any need for meddling.

Well, that’s what I meant for community-fueled decoy. We’re all, me included, our own unique bredd of useful idiots.

That sounds like a complete waste of time and tokens to me, what is the benefit? So each time you do something, you let Claude one shot a tui? This seems like a waste of compute and your time

They said each time they want something to be easier, not each time they do something. And they didn’t mention it has to be one-shot. You might have read too quickly and you’ve responded to something that didn’t actually exist.

On the contrary. Once these tools exist they exist forever, independently of Claude or a Claude Code subscription. IMO this is the best way to use AI for personal use.

Now that I think about it, if Claude can put most useful functions in a TUI and make them discoverable (show them in a list), than this could be better than asking for one-liners (and forgetting them) every single time.

Maybe I'll try using small TUI too.


yeah! they should focus on more productive pursuits, like telling people online what to do with their time and resources.

And these are things outside of our control.

> The real concern I have is how the large majority of westerners are overweight or obese

This doesn't tell the whole story either. In Europe, for example, plenty of women are within the "healthy" BMI range, for example, but their muscle- and fat-distribution is such that various clothes made for normal weight do not fit.

For example, for some women, finding pants which are both large enough at the hips, and thin enough at the waist, is a nightmare. You can be well into the bottom range of healthy weight, like closer to underweight, and still have clothes for normal weights be WAY too tight, because of fat and muscle distribution and build.

For me that's OpenMW

Would you say its always slower, or always faster?

The optimization work happens in the LLVM backend, so in most cases (and using the same optimization and target settings - which is an important detail, because by default Zig uses more aggressive optimization options than Clang), similar Zig and C code translates to the exact same machine code (when using Clang to build the C code).

The same should be true for any compiled language sitting on top of LLVM btw, not just C vs Zig.


No. I will continue my crusade against blanket statements about performance.

Gee, good thing I didn't make a blanket statement and qualified it by saying "often", which is true, my contrarian dude. https://tigerbeetle.com wouldn't have chosen it unless they found it faster than C- and there's a significant quantity of money riding on that decision, so it likely wasn't done lightly at all.

The rest, you can google yourself, but in short, sorry to tell you that it is sometimes faster. Often, sometimes, some portion of the time.


No. It is a blanket statement that is never true. A programming language has no inherent speed. Your appeal to authority argument is rejected.

That's what I was getting at in my response. Once you add the qualifiers that were originally implied, its obvious that this is not an objective discussion to be had.

Let's not forget that there is no sign of AGI anywhere yet.

Hm, this seems like a difficult argument to support.

We shouldn't have laws because "the enemy" doesn't have laws, and thus they are moving faster?

Okay, so "the enemy" or "national security" becomes a reason that can be cited for any reason, at any time, to abolish or ignore any and all regulation?

In what world is that NOT the slippiest of slopes?
