I think the general resistance from older devs comes from the velocity of software in the past decade. I just connected with a former manager I worked with at IT services from my university and we talked about how crazy tech has moved since

I think audio really took a hit in the 90s and early 2000s when home theater became a lot cheaper and a lot more accessible and so too did the quality. Guys would spend their life savings on some crazy Polk or JBLs back in the day, and they

Wow that was really comprehensive and much easier to read than I thought it would be for a military document.

My gut reaction here is that the hallucination is caused by how you [rightfully] formed the prompt. GPT has no way of reliably determining what the fourth book is, so it infers the answer based on the data provided from Wikipedia. I'll

I'm curious - are older models generally less reliable as well? Like driving a 70s Impala vs a new Tesla?

My Room and Board sofa from 2011 is still rock solid. I was a bit nervous buying it used a few years ago because of the age but it turned out to be a great purchase.

I believe there is research into rapid eye blinking followed by slow blinking causing the brain to "calm", so perhaps an external source has a similar effect?

Single family homes are fine. The problem in the U.S. is that it's illegal to build anything _but_ single family homes in the majority of suburbs. Wouldn't it be better if people had access to a walkable grocery store, coffee shop

Coming from farm country in Iowa, I'm glad to see Allan Savory's work getting more publicity. Regenerative grazing definitely works. The problem is restoring a distressed ecosystem (typically soils) back to its natural state after

It's insane that our mountain towns are essentially playgrounds for the rich while European mountain towns still have a fair amount of housing supply.

It makes sense. Low-wage workers simply can't afford to move to a lower cost of living city, even if there were better job opportunities and cost of living.

> build government rental-housing projects again It's a cultural thing too. We're brainwashed to look down on government housing simply because of the racist practices of the past. It wouldn't even have to be government fu

We used https://github.com/developmentseed/titiler (and rio-tiler, the underlying library) at my last company which does dynamic tiling based on some input raster. It's an awesome project and there's nothing

I'd imagine Atherton would remain more or less the same with the exception of some homes being converted to duplexes and triplexes. At least in Minneapolis with the 2040 plan, more affluent neighborhoods tend to stay that way.

Taking that a step further, I've been interested recently in the feasibility of moving entire structures/homes to new locations. There's plenty of houses in rural America that are withering away. If there was a way to economi
