That's exactly what the post you're replying to is saying. It's saying that ChatGPT _would_ respond a certain way but has a bunch of schoolmarm filters written by upper middle class liberals that encode a specific value struc

These blue check VCs on twitter are on such a gnarly anti-human bent these days. They are targeting a capitalist maximalism where a few people are very wealthy and everyone else does nothing (except...consume SaaS products? where do they th

Open source software is often funded by big corporations once it hits critical mass because it's a nice way to stamp out competing small businesses who might be have been able to charge $ for a small chunk of software functionality.

The real issues around data bias get completely crippled by the article writers' need to make everything about culture wars. Many computer vision systems have literally nothing to do with humans, e.g. one of the most common use cases i

My least favorite part is how completely impossible it is to discover all the implicit variables set by other cmake files, and there's no common convention, so some libraries are like ${ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR} and some are #{zLib_INCLUDE_DIR

I prefer for the class of device the Air fits into (travel, work laptop) to have a nicely curated nix machine with working drivers out of the box. Apple has continued to improve on this by making this product class faster, more battery eff

I honestly struggle to conceive of the educational history needed to conflate the long history of censorship with "SJWs". Some of the greatest works of western literature in the twentieth century directly address the concept, and

The other thing these posts confuse me about is that a single auto-scaling group and load balancer isn't much more difficult to set up or maintain, and if you're already in the low traffic world, it's barely more expensive, a

Why does one shard being down remove all their inbound functionality? I'm struggling to understand the purpose of sharding if you can't pull a node offline and replace it while you deal with the wraparound. Is it part of postgres

That's almost worse. Can you imagine having an endless conversation with a human sounding bot? Say you work at a super popular restaurant that has most tables booked out for a month or so, and doesn't have anything ready beyond th

The other good thing about this is that the Pixelbook is a 3:2 screen, so finally there's a laptop with a proper display resolution that can run Linux nicely. There's a good community of folks over at https://www.reddit

That sounds really fun. I've done greenfield Rails projects and I've learned that what I really like and find rewarding is this kind of slow reorganization of something that already exists. It's like remodeling a house--maybe

I get the sense that the author of this post is fairly young. It's pretty interesting, if you look at the graph from the Stack Overflow survey of competitiveness vs kinship with your peers, it drops pretty rapidly with experience: htt

The issue I have with restaurants saying they cant pay more is that FOH staff often bring in close to 10x of BOH. So there's actually plenty of money to go around, it just comes in the form of a mandatory 20% tip to a single person. El

Yep. Having worked in the restaurant industry, it also means they don't want to pay healthcare, give sick / vacation time, or even hire enough employees to cover all shifts. ("Oops, no one is scheduled for tonight, guess you

Find me a 15" 16:10 or 4:3 laptop with a *nix based OS, 4 cores, and 16GB of RAM and I'll switch any day. Unfortunately, there's only one choice for all those requirements right now.

You think it's ironic that people with fences around their houses think a 1,954 mile wall 30 feet high is impractical? What makes that ironic? Are you suggesting that in these heavily walled Southwestern cities, people are using fences

I've worked for a few small startups and smaller IT teams in larger corps, so the option of "call your ops team" isn't really feasible, so in that sense Slack wins because it's easy enough for the business owners to

It's very possible I'm misunderstanding as well, but when you create a room on the Matrix homeserver, the only option you have is to make it so users on another homeserver cannot join that room, which means your only security is o

Love matrix, but the OP just described the big adoption problem. Non-programmer wants to set it up for his company. How do you do that with a matrix server? Slack makes it pretty damn easy for non-techies to get set up and invite people. Ma

I like this idea. Can you elaborate a little bit on how/where you would fetch the gem package without the language based package manager, and how this is linked to system deps? For dynamic web application deploys the self-contained bin

I'm buying a new computer and keep seeing hints of crosvm (real containers!) for the Pixelbook. If they could even say 'yes, this will be released at some point' I would just buy one, but instead they stay tightlipped and I&#
