I must be the odd man out but I am not a fan of uv. 1. It tries to do too many things. Please just do one thing and do it well. It's simultaneously trying to replace pip, pyenv, virtualenv, and ruff in one command. 2. You end up needin

Interesting project. What makes this an agent? Just looks like an image transform that uses LLMs.

Disagree. It's only the author's fault. We can't expect engineers to write code and find every last bug in other people's code especially when PRs can be thousands of lines to review. A broken culture would be expectin

Very interesting product! I consider myself pretty financially literate, but I had no idea what an "expense ratio" was for certain. I assumed it meant fees but I had to look it up.

I used the GGML version of Whisper and I had to revert back to the PyTorch version released by OpenAI. The GGML version simply didn't work well even for the same model. I am assuming it has to do with the quantization.

What is the difference between inheriting money and inheriting copyrighted works? One is a lump sum payment and the other is an annuity. They're viewed vastly differently, but they're essentially both just winning the lottery.

We looked into switching to HipChat, but we're sticking with Skype. We really liked HipChat's interface and API, but there were a few negatives. 1) HipChat doesn't support audio only calls and conference calls. This was a dealbreaker for

He forgot 5) Write it in C/C++. 150M records is not that large and using Hadoop, which is generally used for I/O bound problems, seems like overkill. A lot of these problems can be avoided by simply dropping down to a lower level language

I'm actually doing the opposite. Up until a year ago I didn't drink coffee or any other caffeinated beverages. In fact, I really didn't understand why people liked coffee as the taste never appealed to me. Nonetheless I started off tryin

I've seen the inverse of this, though. For example, I estimated it would take me a couple days to do finish one part of a project, but I told the PM one week. She in turn multiplied it by 3 when she actually turned in the project schedule

All social networks suffer from 90/10 rule (90% of the content is generated by 10% of the users), so this really isn't surprising. Other posters have mentioned this as well, but I think Twitter has too much momentum. Someone trying to do t

100% agree. It's always about how close you are to the money. The more direct value you provide, the more you get paid. This is why lawyers get paid so much, because firms know that for every hour they bill the firm makes $X dollars. Pro
