The app this is advertising helps non-native speakers with their accent, I assume to sound more American. This is a great goal, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who would be willing to pay the $200-$300 yearly subscription cost.

In your assess_output_quality function, you ask the LLM to give a score first, then an explanation. I haven't been following the latest research on LLMs, but I thought you usually want the explanation first, to get the model to "t

The last time I evaluated GitLab, you needed the paid version to use features that I considered pretty basic, like merge request approvals and multiple code reviewers[1]. I'm wondering now if the GNOME people consider these unnecessary

Are there any downsides to multiple-licensing? What happens if I say "This software is released under every license listed in https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical" ? Just curious.

Not OP, but some cool features I haven't seen in Linux: - Quadruple-click smart selection - "Selection respects soft boundaries" for selecting within a tmux pane - "Rum coprocess" on keyboard shortcut, which allows

While people still drive themselves, there's a huge incentive to come to work early or late, to avoid traffic. I don't see that incentive increasing with autonomous cars. If anything, I predict that more people will join rush

This is similar to the "Contamination" effect, of how completely false statements can affect a person's judgement, even if they are told the statement are false. http://lesswrong.com/lw/k3/priming_an

A common warm up question in a coding interview is to write (on the whiteboard) a program that prints the Fibonacci numbers in sequence. Arguably, you can write this fraction and claim this answers the question, though I don't know any

Python's requests library maintainers insisted on sticking with this annoying and surprising rule (default charset of ISO-8859-1), because that's what the RFC says they should do. Hopefully, they'll reconsider now. https:&#x

You'd need to tweak the server for this to actually work. By default, remote forwarded ports are not accessible from other hosts, and non-root cannot listen on port 80. http://serverfault.com/a/133440/1726 h

A corollary: we use Java and Python mostly, and when interviewing candidates, the vast majority of them choose to give their answers in Java. I don't ask particularly hard questions, but I find that I usually get a good sense of the ca

> The converse problem is having to write iterator versions of map, filter, and other eagerly-evaluated builtins Well, in Python 2 you just use imap instead of map. That way you have both options, and you can be explicit rather than impl
