What is more sensational:

a, you can drill a hole and cut a 100 ton stone block with a chisel

b, you create a hole with a drill, you use some for of stone cutting technology that supports cutting 100 ton stone blocks?


It can be legitimately unclear. Relatively-advanced technology being available to early humans is remarkable. Likewise, achieving difficult tasks without the relatively-advanced technology is remarkable. Some prototypical examples of this:

- Incan stonework with stones 'perfectly' cut to fit without mortar -- did they have advanced tools to support that? Or just persistence?

- Greek fire -- is there some lost mechanism here? Or just the growth of legends?

- the pyramids (I think not so controversial among academics, but certainly in pop culture)


Neither of those is particularly sensational. What's your point?

I am really curious about the scoop marks across the globe. The hole drilling story is only interesting because of the precision and feed-per-revolution which is probably why archaeologists does not understand how advanced those people creating this holes must have been.

So they were right when questioning the chisel story?

Btw. the scoop marks are still a mystery. I would not classify people who are challenging the current narratives conspiracy theorists, they are skeptics really.


Ohh no, i thought the science is settled on slaves and chisels.

i think the question is really: can I turn my search problem into a in-process vector search problem where I can scale with the number of processes.

Debug log says what about the crash?

Never thought to check the debug log.

I would say mostly with the agent panel going into panic in longer conversation or not able to proceed for some reason.

Claude code in terminal also has issues rendering. Never have that with vscode or iterm so I guess it’s zed related.

And sometime for eslint it won’t check ts errors then start adding false errors everywhere and become unusable if I don’t start over.


This too I’m curious about. If its memory related I have 36 of it on the work laptop if that helps

Classic blind sighted tech view is that p50 people behave as p99 people.

It is quite obviously Microsoft. They use the same (in my dictionary illegal) tactic they did with Teams.

If anybody is wondering.


Thank you, came to comments to find out what it is. Now I can go back to site and see what it is about.

Thanks again.

Part of being an artist (at least it used to be) is struggle.


I’d say that’s correlation, not causation. Just because past artists have struggled to make ends meet doesn’t mean it’s a requirement to make art.
