I’m don’t do much change-clicky-button software development. But when I do, I point models to specific lines of code. And have never had a result this bad. Maybe this is geared towards pure vibe coders for whom a file and line number is too

I am aware of the "eating wins races" strategy for endurance sports. Glucose and ketone monitoring seems a natural, more precise extension of that strategy. Isn't the point of carb-cramming to get more glucose into your blood

When the substance of an article is accurate, the best people can do is argue over the presentation.

Right, I noticed that in the article. I should have s/franchise/location.

A $200k loss isn't much in the context of the whole company but it may be a very large amount for an individual franchise, and they want to set an example. Think of it like a restaurant chain pursuing legal action against an internal t

Eyesore? Maybe on well architected multimillion dollar custom homes. On the average suburban tract home in my corner of the USA, panels are no more ugly than the shingled roofs they sit atop.

I have the exact same problem. 6'0 (183.5 cm) height, 160lbs (72kgs), and a long torso. Mediums and even smalls are ideal for my shoulders and chest but it's a crapshoot if they will keep my belly button covered through a normal r

Why does this article have a picture of the Maroon Bells? As opposed to something along Green River or, ideally, the 700m deep canyon being described?

Sounds like a terrible idea. Have you heard otherwise?

I did keto for a few months a long time ago (2010/2011). This was early in my career and long coding and debug sessions were a normal part of my day-to-day. There was zero impact to my work focus, positive or negative, from cutting nea

As a fellow elder millennial I agree with your sentiment. But I don't see the mechanics of how it would work. Rewind to October 2022. How, exactly, does the money* invested in AI since that time get redirected towards whatever issues y

The article resonated but I disagree with his terminology. To me, broke and poor are exactly the same thing. He can define them differently if he wants, of course, but what he calls "broke" I would call "feeling poor" an

Agreed. Upon passage of the ACA my company switched insurance coverage to a High Deductible plan with an HSA. So if anything, the ACA appeared to increase the prevalence of HSA's. But that is my narrow social circle and the grandparent

No link to the original research note. No real details on the methodology used. A few notes on the well-known lack of an AI business model (similar things were said about search in the late 90's). I just don't see how the broader

Do they also believe that the GenAI bubble is propping up the value of the S&P 500? If so, they are behaving irrationally. If not, then it is perfectly reasonable to maintain an S&P 500 investment while asserting the AI bubble will
