I do mean to be critical here. I wish there was better moderation so I could find more conversation about the actual discovery here. There are multiple threads on this and I keep scrolling and only seeing more conversation about the drama.

I let it go a few hours on a not trivial but well-known problem, and it felt like it was just a little too plodding and just kind of mucked around a little too much and wasn't aggressive enough about getting stuff done. I asked it to

Is there a reason to use this over something like Sunshine/Moonlight?

the problem I’ve found with these things is that models drift immediately. if it’s not a git commit hook that runs over docs and comments and commit messages objectively it’s probably useless. which I might try. Claude is so friggin wordy a

Anecdotal, but putting in $10 and using it through codex, I blew through it in maybe 30 min to an hour of a light test drive and didn't get my little task done, which certainly didn't seem like any sort of token burning operation.

I'm just hearing about this attack on Checkmarx. We recently adopted it at work, and I find the thing to just produce garbage. I've never tuned out noise so quickly. you have to appreciate the irony of a thing that's supposed

Those dependencies pretty quickly reveal themselves to be complicated and heavy. I wouldn’t blame Rust for that. I rarely need more than what workspaces and VCS based deps give me, but when I have, putting up and using a non-official regis

How strange to come across someone whose medical stuff so mirrors my own. I was just a decade older and don’t have epilepsy symptoms with meds. I can get behind all the advice here. Running out of “juice” and needing a break is very much th

I had one neighbor with the announcement thing but they eventually turned it off. No illusions that it’s not still recording. But how horribly hostile to have that on, right? No accounting for taste, I guess. I’ll continue staying off nextd

Though it doesn’t mention it by name exactly, I think a related idea for systems that are optimized close to a point of phase change is “the edge of chaos” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_of_chaos

Or we’ll just leave them behind and that’s fine. And I work day maintaining old stuff of varying quality. Conceptually, software composting.

I agree. I think we can reasonably posit why given the source. Call it selective YIMBYism maybe?

There are thermostats, among other things, that use standard protocols and still work in a “dumb” way if not connected. You just need to do some homework.

As someone with damage to my visual cortex with a very specific effect I’m very curious what this would come up with for me. Not something useful on its own, but more understanding means more possibilities for treatments.

At least motorcycles have ABS and decent stopping power, though usually less than a car.

A lot of people see software as a list of features, hardware as a list of specs. But when you think about how much time we spend with these things, maybe they just aren’t that utilitarian. We think of buildings not just as volumes of condi

I know it’s easy to throw stones from the outside, but Google’s results are so compromised it seems like it’s a good time to get back in. As one just example, I searched for a unique error message in code that exists on GitHub, is in a fair

I think people will bring their baggage with them ‘into their rich life’ as any major life change doesn’t really get you away from yourself. I certainly do okay staying lonely in a single house in a single city.

You can do approximately that with GitHub Copilot already: Write a comment and have Copilot write the function or what have you to match.

How is it annoying? To be fair, we’re fronting our gRPC service with a AWS LB that terminates TLS (so our gRPC is plaintext), so we don’t deal with certs as direct dependencies of our server.

I’m not sure what the significance of the length of loans is? Surely it’s the overall amount of interest that matters. I probably wouldn’t want to be paying a loan at the point I would want to be trading something in — but even then I keep

Agree separating the interface and implementation is not a great idea. It seems like a decision that's designed to waste time (in copying definitions from one place to another, in compilation errors). It's half the reason to disli

As someone who is in the middle of pulling apart a BTRFS volume by hand (read: writing code to interpret the data structures) to try and recover it, I think being burnt enough is once. No indication of any hardware issue: No recent power lo

I mean, they livestreamed the rollout on YouTube on the Edward’s AFB YouTube channel and said it was at NG’s Palmdale facility (paraphrasing). I’m not sure any of this was a secret…

I’ve done this with libclang: parsing C++ with clang.cindex in Python, walking the AST for structs with the right annotation, and generating code to serialize/deserialize. All integrated into a build system so the dependency links are

Please don’t do whataboutism. Your comment divides and derails the conversation and assumes the worst of the people here who might have a problem with Elon’s behavior (that they also want people to get assaulted because of their political v

The “speed is safety” bit is probably a lot more obvious to motorcyclists but applies to everyone on the road, even if the situations are less likely. Imagine some road eager tries to pit maneuver you but you’re able to accelerate away and

No one is suggesting anyone take the first image out of a model without any human-based filtering.

I was half expecting this to have gyro controls so you could look like a madman while "arm looking". Really neat, in any case.
