It's crazy how good puzzle creators are. I've watched a bunch of videos on it and I'm still in awe of how effortless they make it seem.

Not sure if this is some kind of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon or if OP just also did the NYT crossword this morning.

I've lived in east coast cities (NYC, Boston, and Philadelphia) for the majority of my adult life and while homelessness is less of a problem in the northeast because of the climate there is still a good amount of it in the major citie

To be fair to the person you're responding to, airbag systems in modern vehicles are a lot safer than the single airbag per front passenger in older cars. The original airbag systems were just a single bag that deployed at a single rat

I don't think so. LLMs tend to over-index on providing results in general whether it's a conclusion or not. When you ask it "What are typical things that go wrong with this type of vehicle?" you're forcing it to mak

Heh, I hear stories like that everyday from my partner who is an ICU nurse. Not as dire, but there are constant inter-department arguments about moving patients because of resource constraints and the ICU could end up completely understaffe

The whole point of the article is that families found spaces in their house to fit in a computer and it became the computer room even if it served other purposes. > At my grandparents’ house, it was their office in the corner of the hous

There are 3 kinds of mechanics: Scammers who do the lowest effort diagnostic and "fix" to get you to pay a smaller amount of money to fix the problem in the short term even though it'll re-present itself a week/month&#x2

Not the person you're responding to but I bought the Steam Deck to use mainly as a handheld and docking it is a bonus. The Steam Deck's controller support is the best of the other cheaper options that you could also use to stream.

There's already a lack of information online for simple things like torque specs. I can't imagine that a skilled professional could design the engine mounts even with if they had all of the relevant context online. As far as I kno

Low cost carriers are almost an entirely different industry than traditional airlines. For example, Frontier has a loyalty program as well as their "Go Wild" pass which is essentially "Movie Pass" for flying domestically

At the end of the day it's all different levels of abstractions and whether or not you're using the abstraction correctly. With k8s, the best practices are mostly set in a lot of use cases. For LLMs, we still have no idea what the

I usually have a tube of anchovy paste in the fridge for whenever I make Caesar salad, but in the rare times that I don't I just use fish sauce in the dressing instead and it works surprisingly well.

You will want to search for IPTV services. It's a bit of a wild west out there but I'd recommend finding one that has a Discord. Most will offer a free trial for 24 hours or a week for you to try them out.

The NBA is similarly annoying. It's $110 for the season to watch all non-blacked out games. As a Knicks fan, it was great when I was living in Philly because I could watch all Knicks games unless they were nationally broadcast or if th

I don't know if we're all 10x'ing but our entire org is shipping PRs using an in-house framework akin to Stripe's Minions [1] and many of those PRs are generated from Slack. We definitely have work to do on the latter pa

Same here. I do well in existing codebases because I can follow patterns and adapt to existing limitations but starting a new project is always so daunting to me. Writing a spec and iterating on it is so much more natural than writing code

It doesn't prove anything. It provides context for why someone would make that statement. Can you prove that things that do not need to eat and drink to survive can suffer?

This is essentially just setting up an MCP connection to your kanban provider and instructing the agent to plan out an epic. I did this this morning for some data modeling our team needed to do. For the most part it generated a good set of

These chips are large by fab standards and even with state of the art processes we likely won't see any kind of integration on consumer tech any time soon, but I imagine they will absolutely see instant demand if they can deliver on wh

But at one point the model is sufficiently large enough to accomplish any task a human could specify. For software development, I think we're pretty much at that point with the latest Anthropic/Google/OpenAI models. We have n

Except they're still not accepting any feedback around AGENTS.md as a standard. You need to explicitly symlink CLAUDE.md to AGENTS.md in a workspace in order to Claude to work like every other agent when it comes to loading context.

In the entire span of human history, the concept of suffering required sentience and the only things with sentience eat and drink.

The intent is good, but it will end up just pricing out everyone but Google, Amazon, and Microsoft (and the start-ups those companies bankroll).
