> Technical debt has no bankruptcy, no clean reset There definitely is a technical debt bankruptcy option. You can stop using a particular piece of code or technology, e.g. by replacing it (with new code, or a third-party/vendor sol

25th percentile never goes above 125k at any age, and 50th percentile doesn't go much about 400k at any age. Sounds like a lot compared to annual income, but that's trivial if you're trying to retire and live off these assets

Workaround: local symlink from CLAUDE.md to AGENTS.md, inside each repo. It's not pretty, but it works, and it has become my standard practice, so that I get consistent behavior between claude cursor codex etc.

Just move your funds from mutual funds tracking NASDAQ (if you own any) to a different fund tracking S&P. Inconvenient but not the end of the world. You still have about two weeks to do so; I did this last week. Then in 6+ months when l

IMO the US administration actions are less about actually caring whether foreigners have access to these tools, and more about legal/political precedence. In the US there's a long history of executive or legislative branches cryin

Idk what they're using for serving, but it's truncated in the raw HTML, not just the presentation layer. So probably a bug on the backend somewhere? The linked github repo doesn't seem to have the contents of the post.

Nice to see some catch-up with Anthropic and others, but this doesn't actually offer cloud coding agents (my favorite Claude and Cursor capability). I want to code from my mobile device when my laptop is off or unavailable, pushing PRs

I experimented with setting up a dedicated openclaw instance for coding via chats on mobile, but now that cursor and Claude both offer easy coding from the Web/app, I have had it turned off for weeks.

Arda was supposed to be drastically changed after the First Age. This map is from the Second/Third Ages. Do the events from the First Age map currently into what is shown? Do some have to be excluded?

I avoided this exact scam. The most important thing is to never trust an incoming phone number. If they can't give you a publicly posted phone number that you can call inbound, they are a scammer. Google has dozens of properties and it

This user just doesn't understand how to use an LLM properly. The best solution to hallucination and inaccuracy is to give the LLM mechanisms for looking up the information it lacks. Tools, MCP, RAG, etc are crucial for use cases where

Can anybody understand how it detects cheating (throwing your phone off a tall building)? Assuming it's just using the accelerometer to detect freefall, is there any way to distinguish ascent and descent? GPS is probably too inaccurate

Product manager and project manager are different roles. I think the author was specifically designating the latter.

I also recently went through the Coinbase interview process, and was pleasantly surprised that they offered this compensation for the take-home interview part. Overall, a 4-6 hour task, to be completed on your own over a 1-week period, seem

Estimates online suggest that GWB has an IQ of 120-125, making him smarter than the average college grad, perhaps slightly less intelligent than the average person with an advanced degree. It's also worth noting that IQ is not a partic

This proof is nearly equivalent to that proof, but uses the sine function to generate a contradiction. The crucial step involves the fact that: 1 + 2 * product(p', p') must be divisible by some prime number, where product(p',

I would be surprised if this doesn't constitute a violation of Terms of Service somewhere along the line? Something that could provide grounds for one of the telecom companies involved to have it taken down, if it were to be successful

The Indiegogo perks really need to be rethought. I want to contribute, but I can't imagine I'll need more than the lowest ("30 CPU") level, at least to start, so I've only pledged $1. I'd much rather pay for 6
