Have you tried comparing with 3.7 via the API with a large thinking budget yet (32k-64k perhaps?), to bring it closer to the amount of tokens that o1-pro would use? I think claude.ai’s web app in thinking mode is likely defaulting to a much

Every time I read the story of Therac-25 I feel incredibly frustrated AECL never faced real consequences or (criminal) liability for it. Maybe I'm retroactively imposing modern day safety culture, but reading the timeline and history,

This mirrors my experience. Not once did I have a Yellow LTL shipment arrive on time, and typical delays ranged from 2 days to 2 weeks or longer. Shipments would get lost in a terminal, down to staff insisting it never arrived on the traile

I had the same issue migrating an app off of Render (they also use Cloudflare for app routing). Cloudflare would refuse to route to my new IP for hours on end. Incredibly frustrating and I almost pulled my DNS off of CF as a result. I was a

Maybe a bit unorthodox, but I've been using SquashFS with xz for compression for long-term archival (I generally prefer zstd, but for long-term archival I don't mind waiting longer for better compression with xz). SquashFS files h

Personally, I stick to Firefox because of multi-account containers, which Chrome doesn’t have (no, profiles don’t count). It’s a really sticky feature.

Agreed. Why is there no Tinder/online dating equivalent for making new friends locally? Instead of dating-specific qualifiers, it'd ask for your interests, hobbies, values, age and other demos, then match you based on overlap. Not

Wow, this is substantial. All my mail sync is down, Analytics isn't loading, Sheets and Docs are all stuck in "Reconnecting". I wonder what could cause this.

Yeah, shockingly enough despite the economic situation. Business-wise, it's been the best quarter yet, outpacing even holiday gifting peaks.

I used Cratejoy to handle the e-commerce backend, so the extent of it was some minor HTML/CSS work. There's existing solutions for Shopify that do the same as well, so no programming needed. Later on (still running 5 years later),

For me, I took 2 years off of programming entirely and did something completely unrelated (started a monthly subscription box, so mostly marketing/sales/procurement). I was completely burned out and couldn't stand to code eve

I love the way Elixir/Erlang handles this, personally. If the error is expected/should be handled, just add the error to your pattern match and handle it right there (or bubble it up, if appropriate). Truly exceptional situations

All the backend code for my current startup is in Elixir (switched from Ruby, my previous love). Elixir/Phoenix/Ecto are an absolute joy. It took a bit to get used to immutability and FP but it feels so "cozy", for lack

How does this compare to TimescaleDB? Are they solving the same problem in different ways or are they complementary projects? If it's the latter, what would that look like?

I didn't mean it didn't make sense grammatically, just that it's not really something people use in the way they do here in the U.S. Anecdotal, but growing up surrounded by Russians and consuming Russian media daily, "я

Russian is the same way. You can translate "I love you" linguistically, but it doesn't really make sense to say - people express it through actions rather than words. It's definitely an interesting (and rather significan

Switching from Ruby, I used the Fiber pattern (await-defer) heavily in Node via node-fibers & synchronize.js which alleviated a lot of the pain.

To me, "written in Go" is essentially shorthand for zero-dep, statically linked, single binary deployment. This is a pretty big selling point for command-line utilities like rtop, as opposed to utilities written in Java/Pytho

But what's really interesting to me is that Apple has clearly put a lot more thought into how interactions on a device like this should work than anybody else. I strongly disagree. I think that Apple actually took the easy way out he
