I think it really depends on the user and how you communicate with the AI. People are different, and we communicate differently. But if you’re precise and you tell it what you want, and what your expected result should be it’s pretty good at filling in the blanks.

I can pull really useful code out of Claude, but ask me to think up a prompt to feed into Gemini for video creation and they look like shit.

Having used both Gemini and Claude… I use Gemini when I need to quickly find something I don’t want to waste time searching for, or I need a recipe found and then modified to fit what I have on hand.

Everytime I used Gemini for coding has ended in failure. It constantly forgets things, forgets what version of a package you’re using so it tells you to do something that is deprecated, it was hell. I had to hold its hand the entire time and talk to it like it’s a stupid child.

Claude just works. I use Claude for so many things both chat and API. I didn’t care for AI until I tried Claude. There’s a whole whack of novels by a Russian author I like but they stopped translating the series. Claude vibe coded an app to read the Russian ebooks, translate them by chapter in a way that prevented context bleed. I can read any book in any language for about $2.50 in API tokens.

I don’t know how that happens, I regularly use Claude code and it’s constantly reminding me to push to git.

Oh my god, this gave me flashbacks to French class in the 90s.

I updated my Cachy install last night and some packages needed to compile… It wouldn’t end, I wanted to go to bed. It just kept compiling. Which tells me I will never try Gentoo

Oh that’s handy, I set group policies on my wife’s Win10 computer, but I guess InControl automates that process. Nice.

I switched to Linux last year, but the wife has no interest in any of that. So I set the group policy and haven’t seen a single thing about Windows 11 popup on her computer… yet. But I have Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC flashed to a usb stick taped to her computer in case they find a workaround for that.

Once Create Mod came out, vanilla was dead to me

ENBoost?

Can you imagine how much pressure the shower would have to generate to get enough flow through a single or even multiple RO filters to be able to recirculate the same shower water. It’s not going to be RO, 5 micron pre-filter and some type of carbon filter. A glorified Brita shower.

It goes on at length about how the myriad filters remove everything. I hadn’t thought about that, but I don’t think it would clean the water THAT good.

Seemingly many great dishes were born from impatient diners.

Usually people say ground beef, but some call it hamburger meat, or just hamburger.

Certain grocery chains in Canada employ these types of self checkout scanners. Every item is weighed, your bags need to be on the scale from the start and there’s a camera over each checkout.

I wish we could get them in Canada, but we have to stand in solidarity with the country that has threatened to annex us, and steal what little auto manufacturing we have. Honestly stopping the electric car embargo would save us alot of headaches, like them refusing to buy our crops and other shit.

…you can do that? Huh.

i’ve been waiting for an update to break Cachy, before reinstalling, but nothing seems to break like my previous Arch based distros. I put BTRFS on everything because snapshots are the best.

This was my issue but one day I found out about LinOffice a project that will run office in a container and the windows appear on my KDE desktop as apps. So I looked into it deeper and it says it works alongside something called WimApps (https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps) that lets you also run office but more importantly will work with Creative Cloud. It’s seamless, it’s like I’m running Photoshop on windows. Closing apps can sometimes be wonky but it runs everything I’ve thrown at it.

Panda’s being the exception there. My wife is Chinese and it’s in their DNA that they have to love Panda’s. We have so many stuffed animal Panda’s and she has unique names for them all and I’ve been forced to create unique voices for every one of them. Her friend gave her a big panda stuffy and she named him snuggles and since we’re not planning to have kids, and she doesn’t like dogs or cats. I’m forced to provide voiceover for the panda named Snuggles.

This is my go-to for anything that doesn’t want to run:

I’ve switched a few friends to Linux and whenever they have trouble running a game outside steam, I just send them this. Hasn’t failed yet. While I, like many other Linux users enjoy scrolling through logs: this is easier.

I installed Mint on my buddies computer yesterday and the install defaulted to ext4, and then had the audacity to have “Enable Backups” in the welcome dialog and only have RSYNC available.

It gave me the option to do my own partitions during setup but every time I clicked the link to do so the installer would hang. My buddy started getting nervous so I just left it on default. But I was very annoyed that I couldn’t easily just switch to BTRFS.
