I used supermaven (copilot competitor) for awhile and it was sorta ok sometimes, but I turned it off when I realized I’d forgotten how to write a switch case. Autocomplete doesn’t know your intent, so it introduces a lot of noise that I prefer to do without.

I’ve been trying out Claude code for a couple months and I think I like it ok for some tasks. If you use it to do your typing rather than your thinking, then it’s pretty decent. Give it small tasks with detailed instructions and you generally get good results. The problem is that it’s most tempting to use when you don’t have the problem figured out and you’re hoping it will, but thats when it gives you overconvoluted garbage. About half the time this garbage is more useful than starting from scratch.

It’s good at sorting out boilerplate and following explicit patterns that you’ve already created. It’s not good at inventing and implementing those patterns in the first place.

You’re just repeating the definition that I’ve already made clear I disagree with. This definition isn’t science, it’s taxonomy. Taxonomy is just a tool; we group similar entities together so we can characterize them. A body’s orbit and neighbors aren’t as important for that purpose as other attributes like size and composition.

Should they be considered planets? No, of course not.

Why not?

how round is round enough?

I’m sure the IAU can come up with a suitable boundary. The lines are always fuzzy.

I’m saying that (many) moons are planets too. Anything big enough to be round, but not big enough to burn hydrogen, should be a planet regardless of where it orbits.

Why does the definition involve location? Intrinsic properties make more sense. Who cares what it orbits or what else is is in a similar orbit?

They should have done that

And the IAU got it wrong when they reclassified Pluto. Jupiter and mercury belong in the same category but the moon and mercury don’t? Get the fuck outta here

Do you remember what kind they were? For awhile they made them with organic dyes and those died quickly. I believe they stopped producing those, and the inorganic ones are supposed to be much better.

It’s pretty dependent on humidity and temperature, so a DVD buried in a well sealed plastic bag with a desiccant pack is actually in good conditions. No light, generally cool, and low humidity are perfect.

A hard drive has a lot of moving parts that must work and are basically impossible to replace. With optical media you’re just storing the platters, and I’m sure you’ll still be able to track down a drive somewhere. You can still find VHS players and those have been obsolete for 25 years.

I’d go with optical media here. Probably multiple capsules.

• M-Disk (DVD if it will fit, otherwise Blu-ray)
• Make an encrypted archive of your data. Strong password - I suggest diceware with 8 or more words so you might remember it in 30 years
• Use DVDisaster to add parity data. You sacrifice some space, but you get error tolerance in exchange
• Wrap the disks up in good jewel cases, well sealed plastic, along with some good big silica gel desiccant packs.
• Put all that in the smallest durable, airtight container you can
• stash somewhere it probably won’t be disturbed for a few decades. Memorize.
• destroy all evidence you did this.

Does what I want and gets out of my way.
