Not really different. They would need to report CSAM if it is ever uploaded by a user. Any website that allows user to upload videos needs some sort of service that can identify and report CSAM.

I generally don't have as much time (or patience / fucks) anymore in my day. So, I use AI 3 days a week. On the other two days, I don't use assistants to code, just ask them to review my work after its done. Helps me keep san

Better management?? Easier processing for residential solar panels? How about government subsidies on solar panels for lower income homes? Hell, maybe create a unified portal when companies buy energy - show the cost difference side by side

I like to write them on my own in every company Im in using bash. So I have a local set of bash commands to help me figure out logs and colorize the items I want to. Takes some time and its a pain in the ass initially, but once I've ma

Hi Boris, If you wouldn't mind answering a question for me, it's one of the main things that has made me not add claude in vscode. I have a custom 'code style' system prompt that I want claude to use, and I have been abl

Same. AI is a good tool to use as a sounding board and conversation partner. I only access claude and others using my browser - I give it a snippet of my code, tell it what exactly I want to do and what my general goal is, then ask it to gi

A playground for the zon format is great, but it would be amazing to see a few examples where zon has already been integrated into the LLM and see its responses to user queries. It doesn't even need to be a playground (as that becomes

I kind of wonder how far would 200 dollars would go. Would it be enough to start a local campaign in a town of 100,000 people?

Do you have any insight on when these will be generally available?

I would go against the grain and say that LLMs take power away from incredibly rich people to shape mass preferences and give to the masses. Bot armies previously needed an army of humans to give responses on social media, which is incredib

I guess my non-management / non-business side is show here, but how can it be that much?? I still remember I designed a fairly simple cron job that took database backups when I was a junior developer. It gets even easier now that you h

Time and physical labor are an amazing way to process grief. There is a hindu ceremony in India where we build a funeral pyre and light it. Before that, there are prayer ceremonies that happen over a few days (I think). I've always fel

Me too! I am a data engineer so whenever I have pipeline jobs running, I have a script that monitors them. When the jobs finish, an audio plays stating the job has finished and its status. Thats just one convenient script out of dozens. Mak

This perfectly illustrates why I've always preferred working at startups over major corps including FAANG / MANGA. There is a top down culture of not embracing mediocrity that genuinely makes me thrive at work. My current company

Its a bit of nostalgia for me. It took a bit of work to understand ipython when I first started as a programmer, but that effort helped me in the long run. Using ipdb for breakpoints was a game changer in my first job. And it also was a goo

The best tech stack I have ever worked on was in an adtech company. The code was beautiful and the utility functions to interface with various AWS services were really really neat. I built a near real time estimator using Theta Sketches. Wh

You reminded me of one of my favorite piece of media in gaming (HZD). It feels especially relevant in the current times, with how war and AI is progressing in tandem with geopolitical unrest. Its an old recording that the main character lis
