I also can't comprehend why I wake up early to go to human work to earn human money. Best I can do is some high-school mumbo-jumbo about farming and specialization furthering wealth acquisition. But to truly comprehend the situation I&

I'm not following. Doesn't the outbox pattern just pass the buck? The motive seems to be a naive process that enqueues a message and then commits to a database - two independent actions. But a well-behaved process would commit to

Or a nihilist, or a fatalist, or a pessimist, or an antinatalist, or a realist. Don't go putting people into boxes. That's the path of persecution. You have the inalienable right to say what you want on a plane, limited by what th

What about the find-my-phone BLE database, for which I just learned modern phones broadcast even when off? Is that controlled by the OS (Google, Apple) and not the carrier?

How was Amandla even identified? Stingray at the protest? Then how was the phone number linked to Google? Facial recognition at the protest? I guess his details are on file under terms of the visa? So then the government simply asks Google

That's interesting. So you want to train language, linguistic reasoning, and tool use, but otherwise strip out all knowledge in lieu of a massive context? Just grade they model on how well it can access local information, perhaps also

Isn't this the idea behind holographic memory? Chopping the image in half gets you the same image at half the resolution? Or so I've heard... What you want is a context mipmap. Then there was the Claude article describing using fi

Ehh, I find that the most tedious code is also the most sensitive to errors, stuff that blurs the divide between code and data.

What is it like purchasing consumer goods from the EU under the new 10% section 122 rates? Previously I could have expected 25% tariffs + UPS/govt fees equivalent to another 40%. But hearing the horrors of shippers (UPS, FedEx, DHL) ch

If only, but wouldn't dimensions work just as well as pattern/silhouette visualizations? And finding retail dimensions is the hard part. Hey, how close are we to being able to 3d print our own clothing?

Ironically I think the hourglass high-rise means I can wear (some) women's pants without tightness in the crotch, and the extra back rise is great when sitting.
