Ive mounted monitor arms to the front of the desk, rather than the back, and extended them out toward me for a somewhat similar situation. Bluetooth keyboard goes in my lap, thumb ball mouse goes on my arm rest. I can extend the monitor abo

As Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kennedy promised “some” of the answers to the causes of autism by September. But his “start from scratch” approach largely ignores research that has already been done. For example, Kennedy told rep

Another 2015 study examined students in U.S. special education programs between 2000 and 2010. The number of autistic children who enrolled in special education tripled from 93,624 to 419,647. In the same time frame, however, the number of

For law firms creating their own repositories of case law, having LLMs search via summaries, and then dive into the selected cases to extract pertinent information seems like an obvious great use case to build a solution using LLMs. The orc

I’m surprised this thread isn’t seeing more comments, it’s got a little bit of everything.

You’ve legitimately never tested something you built in production, after having already tested it in staging and local? You’ve just, had complete faith in staging production environment parity your entire career on every project and it has

This is what I’m thinking. All of the kids I know from 16-22 are the most level headed group of young adults I’ve known. It is hilarious to me that this group of brilliant technologists leans so heavily towards seeing the absolute worst in

It sounded like an optional request not a command. I’ve managed and I’ve been managed and the relationship ships I’ve built along the way are deep enough to have conversations like these. We’re doing life with this people it’s not a dystopi

I agree with you entirely except for if we skip the year over year part.5- Time of purchase upgrade ability, if we’re talking about getting to 128 or 256 GB of RAM. Time of purchase to upgrade to multiple high res screens that match. Dedica

I think we’re reading too far into the authors impostor syndrome. He’s making contributions in Rust already. His opinion isn’t invalid just because he has a bias, he opens by acknowledging his bias.

I’ve used GPT-4 as a pair programmer actively for over 40 hours now. Using it to do things you have 90% of the solution for is a bit of a waste of time. Using it to help trouble shoot errors in logs when you’re feeling frustrated, and get a

I hope y’all have a plan for when AWS decides to pick up your open source project and turn it into a managed cloud solution. It’s a pattern of theirs. And with the way egress charges are structured they’re likely to snap up any clients stra

Holding onto inventory is death. In auto and housing sales if you’re a dealership you’re leveraged in order to hold that inventory (paying interest on it, less friendly interest than you get as a government backed mortgage borrower) and you

Apologies in advance, I needed to vent: Agree to disagree. To lead in technology you need a strong BS meter. You need to know what is and isn’t possible, for yourself. You can’t just take the advice of who you think might be the smartest gu

They should be. The longer the build cycle the more errors there will be in the build. Each job is a dependency for the next job. A long build time either indicates that individual assembly technicians have too many steps in their job (it i
