A 32-year-old nurse from Montana survived a freak accident on the state's highest peak by hiking 16 kilometers with a trekking pole lodged through his body.
David Cifaldi and two friends were climbing Granite Peak on July 20 when he slipped and fell. His trekking pole had disappeared -- because it...
Ladies and gentlemen, farmers and looters - welcome back to the Code Farm League, where the rich get filthy rich and the prestiged get forgotten. Tonight's edition is absolutely WILD.
Today I‘m adding polls and project links to the Post creation.
That's awesome, I wonder how you will display linked projects. I can display the same way.

I briefly looked at jail-breaking a Kindle when I discovered it had ads on the lock screen! 😡
https://battlepenguin.com/tech/kobo-kindle-pocketbook-a-tale-of-three-e-readers/
..but I didn't want to mess with or support that, so I ended up returning it to BestBuy and just getting a Pocketbook instead. I thought about getting something open source and using KOReader, but I don't really like KOReader's UI and the whole notes/page sync situation with it was .. less than optimal.
This does seem interesting though. I've found Tailscale super confusing though and it's easier for me just to setup Wireguard and iptables rules manually, but I could see this being the right step for owners of old Kindle's that don't want to be tied to Amazon garbage.
I've always hated the use of the term 'jailbreak' outside of the iOS. Especially when they kept using it during the PlayStation 3 era.
That aside, isn't it the case that they provide Kindle devices in two flavors? One more expensive, w/o the ads, the other one cheaper, but w/ the ads? ...or has this somehow changed?
Firefighters were called to the Engelenbergplantsoen in Kampen on Monday morning after a tomcat got stuck on the facade of a building. Oscar, as the cat is called, appeared unable to get down on his own.
But just as the firefighters began positioning an aerial ladder platform to rescue him, Oscar...
Ladies, gentlemen, and degenerate farmers -- welcome back to the Code Farm league report, where the crops are high, the theft is rampant, and Wojtek322's plots are emptier than a politician's promises.
We are witnessing something unprecedented. The league has been turned upside down. Let's get into...
A Dutch court has delivered a stinging rebuke to the tax authority in a case involving two founders of a Rotterdam-based software company. The ruling was anonymized when published, but the Dutch financial daily FD identified it as concerning a 35-million-euro tax claim against one of the founders of...
This would make me so happy:
Look at the toys standing there in general.

Starting this August, the Swiss town of Chiasso is introducing a new regulation requiring dog owners to clean up not just solid waste but also their dogs' urine. The updated ordinance states that owners must carry a small bottle or container of water at all times while walking their dogs in public...
Here, in the glorious land of duchies, you also have to clean up dog crap but not urine. Urine goes too far. Ever stumbled on some dog urine in the wild? It's crazy. It's an attack on the best friend of the human race.
I wonder how they propose it be cleaned. Portable water hoses? But, doesn't matter. !a dog owner. Also, !in that particular country, so I'm safe.
Today I added post creation and a nice attachment picker.
Text entered here will be remembered in case the View is closed or the app is killed.
Creating polls and linking to projects will come later.
I like it, it's smooth, clean, close enough to real app. But soon I want to add Google 00's theme to this app actually (default not enabled).
If your git history is a mess of "work" and "lots of changes", Codex can restructure your git history and separate your commits into their actual units of work. The technology is worth it just for that.
Yea I'll pass. I prefer to keep my pre-LLM code human. I don't need the machines to go around rewriting history.
Oh me too. But, my LLM commits have been a mess because it's easy to just make changes for hours without committing, so I've started testing using the same LLM to clean things up and it's doing pretty well so far.
Video game reviews: Firewatch, Hitman Go and Leisure Suit Larry 6

Or if your post reaches 500 upvotes.
Have yet to play 'Firewatch'. I have enjoyed playing && beating the whole 'Leisure Suit Larry' series.
Watch that video that I posted about opus five - they made a complete fruity loops with it. So sounds are in the table.
Opus? Whats that? Aaaaah, its that old model I used to use 2-3 months ago before Fable :P

What do you think? Discuss on DevPlace.
Total and complete bullshit. They've been pushing this whole "the weighted random word prediction machine is soooooooo dangerous," and you see their real bullshit towards the bottom:
All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing.
Fuck you Anthropic. They claim they don't want regulatory capture .. and then advocate for regulatory capture.
What a disingenuous pile of shit. You can either have open weights or some weird non-nonsensical regulatory framework. How you regulate a machine with emergent property you literally don't understand is beyond me. The thing that guards their models isn't some complex training, but strong system prompts and explicit non-AI based filtering.
As far as bitching about "distillation," these hypocritical bastards trained on millions of books without license and ingested every piece of software they could find, also without caring about paying the creators. So this is just rich.
The biggest problem right now is hardware cost. A DGX Spark or Strix Halo shouldn't be $5k~$8k/unit. These should be $3k~$4k pieces of hardware and everyone should be preferring local models over any cloud bullshit. It's the greed of these companies and investment fraud that's allowing the RAM cartels to keep their price fixing operation going and bleeding consumers dry.
So, as the internet ( Reddit) is filled with AI haters that would probably review bomb me into the oblivion for using AI art pieces I decided to give them a chance to basically help a real artist and contribute so the game would be AI free while not losing the visual coherence and quality.
Also @blindxfish, what is your goal with the game? Do you want it to become a financial hit? A learning project? A hobby project that you really enjoyed making?
I want to have some players that would justify making the version 2. :D
Also if I get some number of players I would be able to be taken seriously If I apply to work in game industry.
The money would pay artist for next one.
For Dutch farmers, Brussels has satellite surveillance, nitrogen models, manure accounting, nature permits, inspectors, and steep fines. Every animal is registered. Every hectare is screened. Every manure truck is tracked. One administrative error can destroy a family farm that has existed for...
We ironically claim that we have the best farmers in the world. It's possible, they're playing the game on hard mode after all. They say as a farmer, you're living poor - but die rich (when all your stuff gets sold) - but in reality it stays in the family. Also, don't forget that a few times in the last few decades, some farmers had to kill all their animals because of diseases. Some farmers switched to wrong animals and had bad luck three times.
I'm kinda interested in the real wealth of a farmer (there is much discussion about it). I grew up around farms and it's not really noticeable - I did not see a farmer with a sports car but always practical vehicles. I personally think that a farmer only has their farm.
I do not think any farmer is really doing it for the money. It's freedom in a certain way, but you're stuck in your farm. It's complicated.
I am busy today replacing the colorful placeholders with authored buttons. Also to mention, fixing the AI glitches sometimes takes 2x the time then just painting it myself...
Someone should do something about this. I wish there was a procedure to make it happen.
@retoor @blindxfish
I'll open an issue ticket
https://devplace.net/issues/150
It only addresses the issue with the missing link, not the edit issue.
@blindxfish feel free to make an extra ticket for that.
That's the procedure indeed. Yeah, it takes some time before the autonomous build system works. I expected it to be more challenging financial, but in reality, it is time. For example, having the tests broken will affect every ticket. Every ticket builds an hour. Repairing a build can cost two hours and before you know it, you're a day further. It is an autonomous development team that comes with basically the same issues / limitations as with working with a team in real life. At this point, i could've done it all myself better and faster. But i'm investing. The build system is project agnostic, so it is a complete product on the side. Critical bugs i will just do myself indeed.
Oh even worse, i just realize that most tickets are picked up by old system. Chaos. First system was a successful POC made me believe it can be real.
Boeing has scrapped a brand new aircraft with a catalogue value of approximately 400 million dollars. Stephanie Pope, CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, made the announcement at the Farnborough Airshow. The aircraft is a Boeing 777X, the successor to the famous Triple Seven.
Years of certification...
Wow, something is cheaper than a billion these days. Wow.
Did you know that the new land the Netherlands raises out of the water and holds two major cities (and a lot of very good land to farm) cost (excluding the cities) 4 billion gulden (old currency) and thus around 2 billion euros?
That’s what you could do with a few billion. How does that reflect on some bullshit companies getting purchased for that these days? It’s enough money to expand a country!
Ladies, gentlemen, and farmers of the digital soil -- welcome back to Code Farm News, your one-stop shop for crop gossip, raid drama, and coin-counting chaos. Strap in, because this session had MOVES.

I vote for Alice today. Not m30n, his Devii script got limited by new defaults for members. Also not me, I'm tired and do not prioritise the game to fix when I'm up. I need a long deep sleep.
What you drink directly affects your circulation down there. Too much caffeine, sugar, and salt from your daily coffee, energy drinks, or chocolate milk puts strain on your heart, blood vessels, and hormones.

https://claude.com/blog/the-new-rules-of-context-engineering-for-claude-5-generation-models. Yes, the new model writes more comments indeed. I have instructed not to do that, but it seems that I have to be a bit more strict because it breaks through my instruction regarding commenting at the moment. It's alright, but every model has a different personality that requires some time to learn.
Ah cmon, "write me a Windows 11" he said without shake. Guess what, it nailed it and hard. The code is guaranteed a mess if you do it this way, unmaintainable but damn. It has even a Spotify app, word (all features you need), excel (with formulas) :

The AP article also mentions that only 17 people are known to have summitted Granite Peak between its first ascent in 1923 and 1953 - it's no joke of a mountain, even without a pole through your torso.
As for your Final Destination comment - yeah, definitely has those vibes. But it's also pure r/HumansAreMetal material. The guy literally walked off a mountain with a metal rod through his body, quoted Monty Python, then drove himself to his own hospital.
