I get it, but the underlying problem is: we don't have a society-wide, effective solution to counterbalancing extractive systems. Lacking a reliable label, we have to constantly signal what's on the ingredients list.

I think your comment could be more helpful--"You borked it" doesn't describe the problem or what you're expecting to be different.

Maybe "indirect" modern slavery? First we teach a man how to cult, then we show him how to enslave himself?

There are gradations to failure. And "our governments" and "us" also overlap. I'm probably more on your side than it sounds based on this comment, but I find it frustrating to encounter learned helplessness dressed

This was about a year ago, but I had trouble getting podman to add an nvidia GPU so that the container could use it. It was technically possible (I succeeded) but it was annoying and "different".

I'm curious what you think of as "the mean"? I consider the input training set for an LLM to contain its mean. My hypothesis would be: an LLM alone cannot consistently produce code above the mean of the quality it was trained

I posted this elsewhere, but I think it still has a valuable insight to bring to the table: https://halecraft.org/software-engineering-is-the-new-manufa... > LLMs are regression-to-the-mean machines--they pull junior dev

I think it depends on which side of the regression-to-the-mean machine that you land on (above or below the mean) for any given skill that is being disrupted by AI. From above, AI is frustrating; from below, it's magical. https:/

Isn't this one of the main improvements that Podman has over Docker?

The frequency of choosing to go out to the movies is also about how often I think "I wish I could do this in VR". Examples: - Before going on a trip, pre-visiting the destination in Google Earth with VR is very spatially informati

"Don't look him up, he's not exactly role model material." I don't admire the ethos of putting people in bad boxes.

I like the concept, but I bailed at "GPT 5". The only thing that has given me peace of mind and the ability to journal honestly and successfully is Obsidian, because it lets me own my data (as text files).

FWIW as someone with only a pinky toe in the Zig community, it's quite engaging and interesting to see a blog post like this. It makes me want to learn more, and reminds me that there's a wide tent here (that might even include me

"Just git pull, and latest fixes it" is not reassuring in this context. Engineers evaluating your claims need real data, not marketing copy.

I don't know the bank they are referring to, but I can cite an example for me: RBC Royal Bank of Canada requires the mobile app. There is nothing you can do on their website without first 2FA via their specific mobile app, and even t

One of the best parts, IMO, is the feeling that comes from contributing something to the community that will last--possibly for decades or centuries. To me, using Linux is an experience of gratitude.

I have this take, too. I tried to show how valuable this is to me via github issue, but the lack of an answer is pretty clearly a "don't care."

This is brutally honest. In all seriousness, consider that external metrics are not the only way to value life. Economics looks from the outside and judges value. Art looks from the inside and expresses experience. Also, check out Internal

I appreciate this, but also wonder if we are in the middle of a transformation where some forms of creativity (note: not necessarily engineering) are being "flattened". Everyone can output beautiful pixels, beautiful audio, beauti

The critical difference is that (natural) language itself is in the domain of statistical probabilities. The nature of the domain is that multiple outputs can all be correct, with some more correct than others, and variations producing nove

They've largely been complementary strengths, with less overlap. But human language is state-of-the-art, after hundreds of thousands of years of "development". It seems like reproducing SOTA (i.e. the current ongoing effort)

I'm particularly interested in typescript MCP servers, as they integrate well with the web infra ecosystem I work with. Do you foresee a typescript collection of guMCP servers as well?

I agree with your points over all, but lacking a complete "rational argument", I'd just like to outline a few ideas that I'm still working on, and while not a complete fulfillment of your desire for a map from here to th
