Oxide's internal tips on LLM use
As conversation length grows, each message gets more expensive while Claude gets dumber. That's a bad trade! Use /context and /cost or the statusline trick above to keep an eye on your context window. CC natively gives a percentage but it's sort of fake because it includes a large buffer of empty space to use for compacting.
Aligns with my experience. It’s better to start a new chat than trying to continue in the same chat hoping for a fix.
Also has a nice list of resources at the end.
Can This Simple Invention Convert Waste Heat Into Electricity? - Slashdot
The Johnson Thermo-Electrochemical Converter, or JTEC, has few moving parts, no combustion and no exhaust. All the work to generate electricity is done by hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe. Inside the device, pressurized hydrogen gas is separated by a thin, filmlike membrane, with low pressure gas on one side and high pressure gas on the other. The difference in pressure in this "stack" is what drives the hydrogen to compress and expand, creating electricity as it circulates. And unlike a fuel cell, it does not need to be refueled with more hydrogen. All that's needed to keep the process going and electricity flowing is a heat source.
This does not need high temperatures, so can be used along with existing facilities. The inventor is particularly excited about how this could be used for geothermal energy.
Transparent Leadership Beats Servant Leadership by kqr
The middle manager that doesn’t perform any useful work is a fun stereotype, but I also think it’s a good target to aim for. The difference lies in what to do once one has rendered oneself redundant. A common response is to invent new work, ask for status reports, and add bureaucracy.
A better response is to go back to working on technical problems. This keeps the manager’s skills fresh and gets them more respect from their reports. The manager should turn into a high-powered spare worker, rather than a paper-shuffler.
Interesting comparison between parenting and managing people here.
The brand’s shutdown is a huge blow for PC builders and hobbyists, who are already dealing with skyrocketing RAM prices linked to a surge in demand from AI companies. OpenAI, for example, struck a deal with SK Hynix and Samsung to make up to 900,000 DRAM per month for its Stargate project.
I had bought crucial SSD some time ago. They would provide comparable performance at lower prices. Sad.
Netflix wins the bidding war for Warner Bros. by Dominic Preston
Netflix is poised to purchase Warner Bros.’ studio and streaming business after being selected as the winner of the bidding war for the media giant.
I can’t really imagine this going through. To be honest, any company that is big enough to purchase WB, should not be allowed to purchase, with the exception of perhaps Apple.
But hey I already have Netflix so great if the HBO stuff is available on Netflix.
