Underground, by Murakami, was one of the better books I've read. It mostly covers victims, but the later chapters are interviews with various members of the Aum cult. It does a pretty decent job of presenting the psyche of the type of

When i bought an old motorcycle, genuinely all I needed was a Clymer repair guide. I'm shocked these things don't exist for more things, eg cameras.

Because strats sell. Oddly shaped guitars don't, or at least not for a long time, and would never break into the top 10 best selling guitar shapes.

Yeah fair, then you could set it higher, even 100. Or default it off.

I think this is a really solid move. This gives OSS contributors a lot of flexibility. You could set the limit to 0, and manually add contributors. You could set it to 1-3 to allow people to get their foot in the door. But the de facto limi

This is a huge difference between NYC and SF. There are certainly some in NYC who would prefer Waymo (direct route, no driver chitchat), but I don't think many New Yorkers would be proud of taking Waymo's. Most people feel embar

One thing I hate about GH's status page: sure "auth" gets to live under API, so API gets the downtime report today. But all of my remote git ops are failing, because i was dumb enough to use the `gh` cli to auth. Their status

This makes it an instant non-starter for probably 95% of organizations. A lot of people are about to get in trouble for using it before realizing this.

Not a lot of discussion on this, but there is no way to turn off data retention for this model. IME this is the first time Anthropic has released a model without allowing you to opt out.

I guess, but the sequence of positions 6->5->4->3->2-1 maps to valves - 1+3 (6) - 2+3 (5) - 1+2 (4) - 1 (3) - 2 (2) - open (1) All I mean to say, sliding a little bit at a time up the slide is easy to map to "short slide hi

I loved playing trombone in school. It's such a simple mechanism, it invites a lot of curiousity, and this piece captures that well. Instruments like piano, violin, and guitar are very visual, essentially wysiwyg. Instruments like saxo

My first ever EM showed me this piece ~10 years ago, and I still think about it a lot. One pattern I've adopted is to keep as much code to be synchronous as possible. On larger teams, especially when the slop-cannon is really going, I

I could see this being true, except that other high end electrics (Porsche, Audi) have not sold well. So the theory would be: > people want either $30,000 electric cars (Tesla), $100,000 electric cars (Tesla), or $500,000 electric cars (

I interviewed at a startup, really early stage, who claimed to be on track for $100k ARR. We all know "ARR" is bullshit, but I didn't suspect the ~$10k monthly to be bullshit. It turns out this was $10k pre-discount, and this

This is one of those ideas I think makes perfect sense, but requires so much operational change for the entire stack, that it would be very difficult to scale: - Convincing labs to run distributed, burst-y inference - Convincing people to

I can understand two 20 year olds committing fraud. I can't understand a team of engineers PRE-PUBLISHING A TRUST REPORT before a single field has been filled out. This is worse than fraud, its poor craftsmanship.
