Thirteen minutes is an "exceedingly long video"?! Man, I thought I was jaded complaining about 20 minute videos! :-) I want to know is what are the connected to? A laptop? A AS400? An old Cray they have lying around? I'd thin

Tres cool! Can you point me in the direction of how to do that? We're a small, bootstrapped company and could use a manager like that.

Since I'm interested in local, small-use [1] cases of AI, what about the byte code VMs is not AI-scale? And what is AI-scale? [1] I'm looking at single-person/small office LLMs to do simple jobs: summarize these pdfs, structu

Do you follow Steve Brunton's YT channel[1]? His physics stuff is mostly fluid dynamics but still pretty cool. [1] https://www.youtube.com/@Eigensteve

Which LLMs and plans are you guys using for all of these cool ideas? ATM I use ChatGPT Plus for everything except coding inside my Jetbrains IDEs. I'm starting to look around at other LLMs for non-coding purposes (brainstorming, docs,

Cool. Do you have write-up of the technical details or a tutorial on how you did this? I'm not familiar with the tech you mentioned but it'd be interesting to see how it's done and so...easily? cheaply? by non-mega-organizati

That one really is "too close to reality" as in, it's now a reality, at least on the battlefield, IIUC.

No, I get the "too close to reality" vibes. I actually like that. LD&R ROCKED! At least the first season; I still watch it regularly (well, I did before Netflix EOLed my TV). Season 2 was forgettable. Season 3 kinda made up fo

> there are individuals out there who know a lot about many things, and those are probably the ones companies want to hire the most No, they don't. They want specialists, as you point out.

If you also avoid movies and books of the same ilk for the same reasons, yeah, I can see that. To me, they're just great SF stories (well, the first three(?) seasons before Netflix bought them and Americanized them): some poignant, som

Just because I want/use an artisan knife or bake my own bread in my kitchen doesn't mean I want an artisan microwave or raise my own cows.

I just saw an interview with Penn wherein he stated that they have been thrown out of The Magic Castle, et. al for revealing tricks. Given their popularity, I'm sure they've been allowed back in. :-)

Seconding Harley Benton and the Positive Grid. I bought an HB-35 B Stock (a return) and a Positive Grid Spark Go (I'm a bedroom player atm). With setup, the whole thing set me back 350 USD.

I tend to start a note with frontmatter in Obsidian, drop into vim to do the writing, then back into Obsidian to clean things up. Wish there were a cleaner way to do it, but it works for me.

Not surprised at all. Then again, ten yo me hadn't been introduced to the concept of propaganda yet even though it was all around me in retrospect.

Back when I did consulting, I started locally and eventually went nationally. I even had my state in the company name and emblazoned on my web page; didn't stop Big Names from across the country from hiring me.

I found the tutorials on this YT channel[1] helpful in learning "what I'm missing". This playlist[2] in particular. I need to learn how to sell myself as well. [1] https://www.youtube.com/@CodingtheFuture-jg1h
