Same here. It's been very freeing mentally to get the 90% of things I always felt needed done actually done.

How so?

I have 40+ years experience and extremely high standards. What you say is entirely wrong.

What wonderful times we live in: the Turning test is a trivial nothing now and we're arguing about the fine points of the AI's writing style.

People say uv is good because it's fast, but honestly I don't care about that. We switched to using it for distribution of our Python-based tools because it makes it very convenient to install directly from a git repository and th

That's because they're actually not "sending files to another". A hairpin service has to be provided for double NATed scenarios and a rendezvous service has to be provided for all cases. There's no magic about WebRT

People have forgotten, or weren't alive, but NAT was created and deployed originally by users. The problem they were solving wasn't "how do we stop running out of addresses" but rather "how do we save money". T

"Enterprise" mainly describes the sales and support process, not the nature of the product itself. That said one does influence the other.

Similarly the war created unstoppable momentum towards decarbonization.

The problem is typically you ate a bunch of things in the time before becoming ill and don't know which one (or none) is the culprit. So it takes a government investigation to identify the cause by correlating many different victims&#x

Vampire Squid. But this is only in one country. Go other places (e.g. New Zealand) and reality is different. There every single transaction has the credit card fee added explicitly.

True. I live in a no-sales-tax state but we have just as much tipping as everywhere else.

The way I look at this is that I get to pay for socialism in the USA. We'll never get it via the government, but at least I can improve some low paid workers' lives a bit.

I live in the US but have traveled to France for my entire life and speak French reasonably well. My take on this is: service is just fine in France. The difference is that nobody is "servile" in France. Also there are protocol di

It means nothing. Whoever writes this has no idea about American restaurant protocol. The "tip for good service" thing comes from the UK (perhaps elsewhere in Europe too, not sure since I don't know those cultures well). Ther

by dboreham 22d ago
Level of service doesn't depend on the tip in the USA. Tip size may depend a little bit on level of service, but not the other way around. Basically the tip is how the customer pays the server and table clearers etc, because the restau

I see this thread as progress because now there's three people saying this (seemed like it was just me for a year or two).

Assuming you are referring to using an LLM to generate crontab entries, is that a bad move? Seems like it removes the need for layers of UI that most of the time is never used. Same goes for regexes. Actually same for SQL. No need for layer

Since this seems to be a thread for people to criticize Anthropic let me add my $0.02 that I'm a very happy customer and see none of the various terrible things everyone is complaining about. Except Fable refused to give me some flags

Aren't these CLI tools? How do they get to pick the font?

This is basic psychology: being rich for no apparent reason causes cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is annoying/painful. So rather than change beliefs to see one's self as very lucky, in most cases the brain re-works rea

The "make more money" rationale is way too logical vs how this guy's brain operates. It's better understood as being like Pro Wrestling. Except the "ring" is the world economy.

I don't think this is new. The idea always was that proto-humans had to live in an environment rich with energy dense food (fruit) prior to growing a brain large enough to figure out how to make barbeque. Otherwise you never get to the
