Yeah, more valuable than the comments I came to read (even if those are interesting too!)

I downloaded Hermes CLI previously. I didn't like that the default personality was "anime girl". While I like the idea of agent memory I worry it becomes less portable, and it's fundamentally more of my context window co

This is fun, though I will note that when traveling, my new location didn't factor in, and all my locations were based on my initial locale. Might be me being a firefox user. Edit, tried in Chrome - still didn't work.

Just like how many companies have methods available to them to remove bad glassdoor reviews (or make fake 5-star reviews), this system is even more rife for abuse.

This article seems to exist in a weird middle ground of both going too far, and not going far enough. Private bathing is a modern luxury few people would be willing to give up, but at the same time, should they realistically advocate for it

I think the counter-point to that would be that if you're writing infrastructure as code, and your architects are using a specific language anyways (Python in this case), it makes more sense for data governance and editing reasons to j

My counterpoint would be: If you can write data visualizations with code, why not write diagrams too?

I've flown with airlines before where there was a cascading delay due to a "plane deficit" at the terminal (not the technical term, that's my own). Not to say it's always uptime, but I imagine there are instances of

By that logic, any app that provides privacy from governments spying is a criminal enterprise.

I imagine the use-case for low-code tools is when your ratio of "business experts" heavily outweighs programmers, and the cost of inefficient dev processes/tech debt is less than the cost of waiting to onboard people with a c

I don't want to diminish how interesting the path is, but in my experience, it's still too far out of the way and too purpose-driven to have the organic spontaneity of a good third space.

Perhaps not a joke, but in terms of how arbitrary social media banning is, I would consider this site a sign of "the times".

This is one job I am actually hopeful will be fully automated. I've heard before that the people doing this 'tween' frames make less than minimum wage on contract. That being said, I'm sure this is going to take a while

Speaking what might be obvious, but I would love a social media experience optimized in a similar way to this: Least amount of time & attention spent on the platform while facilitating the most in-human contact.

No, just agitated a genocide campaign against minorities in Myanmar: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-faceb... Morality aside, I do like the open source work coming out of Meta

The politics of who does vs doesn't make the cut sounds difficult to manage. I think an individualist model makes sense, or barring that, a group Patreon (i.e. a music label instead of an individual band).

Yeah, it's very effective to be altruistic to news agencies for that good PR.

Yeah, just because OpenAI has gotten away with using open source ideology for regulatory capture in the AI space, but that doesn't mean they can get away with it in the intellectual property space.

I'm not a gamedev, but I am hoping one of the actionable things from this situation is a call to action from the gaming community to put together more open-source game engine platforms, and for them to be more easily sharable. I am sur

I'm not privy to the news on this particular fact, but the fact is that Ketamine IS used medically as an anti-depressant now, just at far below the dosage range to get "high". So if he's just endorsing its usage in a cli

...for the global middle class? Maybe. For the world as a whole? Definite differences. It just seems like a super jaded "kids these days" thing to hate on them for consuming easily accessed, free content- and acting like the globa

Yeah. The title is a misdirect. The unspoken promise of the article that this is about a more cost-effective/practical/efficient process of commuting.

I'm neither European nor do I have to deal with their standards, but this seems like a false equivocation. Physical Engineering standards serve a different purpose than software standards. Engineering standards are a social contract we

When google sends me to a website, I can at least judge the credibility of a website. When ChatGPT tells me something, I have no idea if it's paraphrasing information gathered from Encyclopedia Britannica, or from a hollow-earther foru

Because ChatGPT is so new, we are in this weird period where people haven't learned that is just as incorrect as the rest of us. I am hoping that in a year from now people will be more skeptical of what they hear from conversational AI

This is definitely the "software engineer" way of conceptualizing and solving the problem. You have discrete limitations, you optimize around them. This is clearly not "working at intended" though and I'd like to be

Far from an expert in Go or Rust, but I think the use-case for Go is you need to do something very by-the-numbers and you want it to be easy to maintain and performant. Once you start reaching for more off-the-shelf solutions, you hit dimin

In defense of the AI, that's about as good as the average player (and the average players is pretty skilled).
