I don’t believe that expressing distaste for something you have observed and find offensive and annoying is “virtue signaling”. That doesn’t really match up with what that term was coined to signify.

If everyone is complaining about the smell of shit, maybe it's because there's shit everywhere.

They are interested - interested specifically in opposing it. These groups don't care about age verification - it is a trojan horse for censorship.

Then you just end up in an arms race that ultimately leads to photocopy-of-a-photocopy output.

Mentioned this elsewhere recently, but ISDN hardware is still widely used in the broadcast industry. I am unsure if linux support has any bearing on it, though.

Microsoft has been an abysmal steward of Github - the few nice features it has over self-hosting just aren't worth losing an hour or more of CI/CD downtime during daylight hours every week. Yesterday was the last straw for me - I&

Ridiculous. An AI agent didn’t delete your database - poor security policy did. An AI agent might have been the factor this time, but it could have just as easily been a malicious supply chain dependency or an angry employee. You know what

I have a bespoke memory system that I wrote myself and it avoids this problem entirely by making every memory a contextual search space. The “don’t use stripe” memory would only be recalled into context if the model was prompted to do somet

I don’t really write code with it at all, and that’s why I burn so many tokens. I like writing code, I’m good at writing code. What I hate doing is dredging through logs, filtering out test scenarios and putting together disparate informati

Are these investors high? Or just insane?

You can doubt it all you want, ISDN is used internally in broadcast all over the world. Telcos shutting it down has nothing to do with them and won’t affect them. Losing support in software however, does.

I have taken 4-5g in a day while suffering from intense pain before. There is a limit to the amount of opioids they will prescribe you, even if you are in mind shattering pain. For instance while attempting to get your dental insurance to a

Interesting, I rarely go to Walmart if I can avoid it, but I've noticed the stores here seem to only have a couple staffed checkouts left. There's 14+ isles of self checkouts.

This is way more interesting to me as well. I have projects that use small limited-purpose language models that run on local network servers and something like this project would be a lot simpler than manually configuring API clients for ea

If you want to make no money, sure. The solutions these scientists need are bespoke and share little in common. They also have fixed grant funding. In 2009 I made $15/hr working with some PhDs and grad students in a couple different la

A lot of the work I have done for scientists when I was a contractor (and a bit while working for bespoke software consultancies) was quite literally just making programmatic applications out of Excel sheets. In one case, we used mdftools t

I don’t believe fixing this is not something AI would do well. Identifying it is something AI could do well, though. It’s very good at finding patterns - that’s kind of essential to how it works.

No I actually do understand where your opinion comes from now and I partially agree. I had forgotten about how badly the ISPs wanted the internet to mirror Cable TV plans. There’s several subjects to go into here and HN probably isn’t the b

Most PE is ironically ultimately owned by publicly traded funds. If you have a 401k that you’re not personally managing odds are that PE is where most of your gains come from.

Costco is such a strange and stark case standing in opposition to this general rule. From everything I hear, I can only gather that the reason is because of extremely experienced and level-headed executive staff.

Skeptical is a light way to put it. It is essentially a forgone conclusion that once a company IPOs, any veil that they might be working for the global good is entirely lifted. A publicly traded company is legally obligated to go against th

This stuff is the antithesis of what I want to see AI used for. Deriving a bland average of creativity is the saddest thing you could do. I don’t even enjoy design and I find this offensive.

“Be critical, not sycophantic” is a general improvement for the majority of tasks where you want to derive logic in my experience.

I think they just forgot to link their train of thought. I have also used Levenshtein distance for deduplication comparisons so I can guess where the story came from.

Think about what was happening in US labor in the 1920’s, it’s pretty interesting you chose that decade, actually and I think it speaks to my train of thought. The size of a business may not be the best part to care about, maybe the power o
