Contributing to OSM was super cool. I've had an issue where my home snaps to the nearest road, which is in fact fenced off from us, rather than the road that our cul de sac connects to (which was not well marked in OSM). Last week, I w

I'm not OP, but when I started run-jog-walking one mile, three days a week (which is a bit more than two minute stairs every day, but still asking muscles, joints, and heart to wake up), that my back pain lessened, some niggling knee t

The math and core experimentation here is beyond my abilities, but what I think I understand is that there are possible deeper patterns of representation that exist in LLMs that are distillations of core conceptual relations in grammar that

Not OP, but I use it for personal tasks that are just not worth the claude tokens -- rooting through historical medical records to unify prescription history, super-OCR'ing thousands of PDF pages (i.e. beyond PDF dumping -- vision mean

Query cancels are out of band from the query connection so PGBouncer has to land it on the right server and the right connection. So PGBouncer serves a bogus-but-tracked cancel PID+secret to the client, which then goes to PGBouncer and PGBo

Wow, that is a deep level of commitment and learning/exploring; I love it. While I'm sure this is informed by deep preexisting knowledge (to a point -- it's still badass in its own right), I can't help but admire these s

yeah exactly haha; the threat model implies a level of "you're hosed" that something private I'd say to a friend isn't moving the needle on.

Adding on to this question, do you anticipate the same people capable of tapping phones to think less of you for a dirty joke? The people whose opinion of me would lower for something off-color and the people who possess the ability to wire

Absolutely. I love building things, but sometimes I want something built . LLM assistance is great for when I want a personal tool, code quality be damned, for a specific purpose, without it taking over a weekend.

I develop an open-source self-hosted client (very mobile friendly) for base-station radios that you want to use from anywhere, and also support MQTT/community observers/bots/webhooks/etc. It spawned out of my need for a

For sure. This is a straight copy-paste of my prompt which references my architecture, codebase, references folder (God, that's so golden -- .gitignored, but saving the tokens of googling or cloning and just having the codebases we dep

I really identify with this. As an engineer, I really do enjoy building things. However, a lot of times, what I want is a thing that is built . A lot of time, that means I build it, which sometimes I enjoy and sometimes I don't; so

Absolutely. I've got a nice multi-paragraph prompt on hunting for subtle bugs, user expectation breaks, crufty/repeated code, useless tests (six tests that actually should be one logical flow; assertions that a ternary is still, i

Absolutely. Effective LLM-driven development means you need to adopt the persona of an intern manager with a big corpus of dev experience. Your job is to enforce effective work-plan design, call out corner cases, proactively resolve ambigui

It really is incredible. I've been playing through my childhood games on retro handhelds, and recently jumped from <$100 handhelds to a Retroid Pocket Flip, and it's incredible. Been playing WiiU and PS2 games flawlessly at 2x

I think they're saying that OpenSSL is NOT elegant, but that it is successful regardless; hence, code elegance is irrelevant to whether a product is successful or not (and thus that horribly ugly LLM-generated code has a shot at becomi

Big fan of MeshCore; been using it recently and it Just Works. Especially where I am in the USA Pacific Northwest, the mesh is always hopping with conversation. I have run into delivery issues a single digit number of times over hundreds of

That's wild; thanks for the clarification. Crazily, I only stumbled upon this because I ordered some discount blood labs and the requisition had Health Gorilla on the letterhead, which I found an absurd company name, so I googled them,

It took me a bit to get my head around this one; https://healthapiguy.substack.com/p/epic-v-health-gorilla-a-... has a great alternative breakdown. This is my understanding of the situation; if someone has any correcti

You mentioned working on it — do you have a particular strategy, venue, or opening line/guiding ethos that you find works well? I love making friends with strangers, but usually rely on the "handshake protocol" of a casual ob

I think it's intended as a comparison of cost when building a gaming-capable computer vs. a console of somewhat equivalent power. It used to be a general rule of thumb that you could build a computer of roughly equivalent power for the

Privacy is vital, but this isn't covered under HIPAA. As they are not a covered entity nor handling medical records, they're beholden to the same privacy laws as any other company. HIPAA's scope is actually basically nonexist

I find it especially helpful during refactors — understanding the significance/meaning of the variable and what its values can be (and are constrained to) and not just the type is great, but if typing is complete, I can also go and see

This was one of my favorites -- with the voice filter the narration feels like it's part of the song which I found especially fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWXCCBsOMSg

That's adorable, but the censored/pixelated keyboard is a little offputting. Am I guessing right that they're using Blackberry overstock and censoring trademarks?
