I vibe-debug 10x more than I vibe-code, but here goes:

- a daemon to properly set the LEDs on my Lincstation N2 NAS (even early Claude was great at reverse-engineering): https://blog.majid.info/lincstation/

- most consequential, Thufir, a task manager to replace Cultured Code's Things as I am leaving massa Tim Apple's plantation: https://github.com/fazalmajid/Thufir Still very janky, but usable enough for my purposes

- most recently, a TRML dashboard for my Seeed Studio reTerminal E1002 smart e-ink display, and I also had to have Claude fix the firmware for full 6-color input: https://blog.majid.info/e-ink/

- a tool using DINOv2 image fingerprinting and usearch vector database to find visual duplicates in a large collection of images


Lee not only turned Singapore from a country poorer than India into one of the richest in the world, but he was also the one who convinced Deng Xiaoping to adopt market reforms, thereby pulling hundreds of millions of Chinese out of abject poverty. Truly one of the greatest statesmen of the last century.

That's in countries that have a constitution, a Bill of Rights that can't be revoked by a simple vote of the legislature, separation of powers and the rule of law. None of which applies to the UK.

3 of those factors are nothing more than bits of paper. Everything hinges on separation of powers, and the one you omitted: a thoroughly established sense of democracy. If either of those fails, any report to the authorities is a threat.

The UK has a constitution.

The original French title "La Prise de Constantinople par les croisés" is harsher, "The taking/capture of Constantinople by the Crusaders"

More historically accurate, though, no?

Exactly, "Entry of Crusaders in Constantinople" is very milquetoast and does not begin the describe the horrendous massacres committed then.

You’d be much better off getting a Saleae Logic 8 (or one of the many knockoffs).

If their model was trained purely on properly licensed data, the reduced legal liability could be a selling point

For an amusing take on the life of a systems programmer, James Mickens' "The Night Watch":

I ordered a ThinkPad about a year ago, and removing Windows 11 Pro from the configurator saved me a cool £110 ($150). Despite this ridiculous overpricing, the surprising thing is, Windows isn't even in the top 5 businesses at Microsoft any more, even Xbox makes more money.

TBH, it was a train wreck apart from the actresses who played Moiraine and Lanfear.

If you are measuring the show up against the books - I did not read them, so I loved it purely based on the show itself.

Yes, the TV show had massive departures from the books, but I was actually referring to the acting skill or lack thereof of most of the cast.

HP hasn’t manufactured its calculators in decades, thanks to Carly Fiorina.
