+1, but i figured it out in an hour. Langchain seemed like a ridiculous overcomplication of what would otherwise be basic python. Has been off to the races since I decided not to use it.

I think "reading the manual" can be be interpreted not just in the literal sense of whether there's an actual manual, but also in the metaphorical sense, to make sure we're considering easily available sources of informa

love to see this stuff, reacting to users in the world's #1 accidental entry point to programming. I wish they did this 20 years ago when i was neck deep in Excel daily!

That's a great and positive way to look at vaping. Every time I hear about "medical marijuana" I think about the probable link to schizophrenia, which will likely dwarf the pot economy in both direct and indirect costs. -- ed

i love brave, it has transformed search for me, and the results remind me of what Google felt like decades ago. I find stuff on brave that i never would find on google or duck duck go. For example, trying to buy some thuja "green giant

I think it's ridiculous to force healthy college students to get a covid vaccine, and 100x to mandate a booster. Curious if this becomes a flag or 100x downvote, but at some point we have to face reality - covid just isn't that se

stay positive! all DS skills will be transferable to normal SWE, the best SWE are all multi-language and strong SQL never goes to waste, lastly - many of the best SWE would be even stronger with some DS competencies, so keep at it and I sus

You should be blogging...and you can, as long as you avoid saying any of the Things You Can't Say, which seems to mean following a template, which means the content gets bland and repetitive - unless it is technical, in which case it&#

Are we sure that Assange is better off in the UK? Reports from other sources suggest he is being kept in terrible conditions in UK as well. https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/julian-assange-is-kept-u... >> &quot

Japan is a country that values its citizens over its companies, i think Japanese tend to like it the way it is, and there's a lesson there if you think about it carefully. I think easy case to make IBM is dying on the back of becoming

more great logic - we need to outsource jobs so the companies can earn a higher profit to pay UBI to the citizens they displaced. This is the equivalent of a ponzi scheme if you think about it - unsustainable. US is a country, not a company

Great logic - give up citizen jobs at home because they'll be offshored otherwise. Foolish logic for a country to operate under, and why should any citizens support that kind of policy? Lose either way.

decent amount of history indicates CIA had been partnering with academics and private industry for decades. Seems like this is an attempt to broaden the funnel of participants, away from key strategic efforts into DARPA-style R&D land?

i stopped using R a number of years ago because it is not useful for very large datasets (in the tens to hundreds of millions) and now use kdb almost exclusively.

How did the experience of shipping software compare to a "conventional" company, either a big corporation or a silicon valley type company? I get the sense the tendency to talk in big picture abstract would allow a lot of folks to

I think the rhetoric is a very sophisticated way to market the fund. (1) make highly generalized pronouncements that sound wise and get headlines because they make for good journalistic copy (2) make the business seem like it's driven

I am also heartened that the #1 and #2 comments on here retain the voice of sanity. I think this piece and the pitch it references are borderline abuse of the history and context of subscription businesses. I see the current trend in subscr

One quirk of Mac OS flat design - i can never find the "contacts" icon - very odd. This is one of the more skeumorphic designs still, too. I guess just the dull brown without much color, easy to overlook.

This is a pretty provincial piece. Marriage has been transactional for thousands of years. To this day, the practice continues around the world. I have a colleague in the US who has an arranged marriage (he was born overseas). But of course

IMHO imposter syndrome isn't a "thing" or if it is, it's a few things: 1) You just got your first job and you are right out of school. They call you a "programmer" or "analyst" etc, but you don't
