I've tried the Perplexity browser and... I can't figure out what it does or how it is better?

One bad message in a Kafka queue and guess what? The entire queue is down because it kills your workers over and over. To fix it? You have to resize the queue to zero, which means losing requests. This KILLS me. Jay Kreps says there is no r

You need a sales / product cofounder to be CEO. Create a compelling demo of it doing amazing things, then put all your energy into finding a cofounder. Startups are a team sport and you need help with customer development.

This is not a surprise to anyone that has engaged in prolonged meditation, especially across more than one day. It makes shortcuts like psychedelics look foolish. During a ten day Vipassana retreat time slowed down to such a great extent it

Workers in denial are like lemmings, headed for the cliff... not putting myself above that. A moderate view indicates great disruption before new jobs replace the current round being lost.

As a writer, this is deeply comforting. The book is total shit. It sounds like an AI, not like something a person would connect with for even a moment. Not even in the opening lines.

When AI is cheap, why use juniors, regular software engineers or off-shore labor at all? AI replaces these things. Why not use the best available talent to oversee and guarantee the work of coding agents? To define requirements and translat

When AI is cheap, why use off-shore labor at all? AI replaces it. Why not use the best available talent to oversee and guarantee the work of coding agents? To define requirements and translate them into maintainable code? This is the trend.

I am building a knowledge graph using BAML [baml-py] to extract documents [it's opinionated towards docs] and then PySpark to ETL the data into a node / edge list. GPT4o got few relations... Gemini 2.5 got so many it was nuts, all

I don't really mean you, but let's say you are compromised... if I put a localhost http server up on the web using your stuff, am I now compromised? Not clear how this would work...

This thing is really cool, I want to pipe data between systems... can I trust you to have that kind of access?

Sparta buried her war dead on the field in mass graves. A hoplon shield isn't useful to carry a body in the first place. This is the first I've heard that attributed to Plutarch, however...

Usually they fuck with something like extra sweating or a little trouble sleeping. Severe side effects are very rare, they are widely used because they are so well tolerated. My own anecdote is: most elderly people should be on Cymbalta bec

His comment isn't a medical opinion. It's a sarcastic anecdote.

Sorry, what does this have to do with the study? Obviously reuptake inhibitors save many lives and you're acting like they're all unusable. As a doctor, isn't this irresponsible?
