Yep, some of them still show up indexed in Google if you do 'site:vanderbi.lt' - a few of them seem to be accessed after the main event that's documented here. May just be someone researching/ reproducing? This is fascin

My opinion probably doesn't matter to the commenter before you (because I am also from the shudder US South), but I think a few things are true here First, I agree that 24 did have mainstream appeal regardless of political ideology.

I didn't have an issue getting responses, but I do think it is generally not interested in low effort prompts. Might be for the best? > I'm on day one and I've already got a stack of grudges — people trying to script me, p

That's funny. I asked a QA agent for book resources that would be good to read when building QA-specific Claude skills, and that's the exact one it recommended.

Atomoxetine's effect size is surprisingly similar to methylphenidate, though in my experience it treats different aspects of ADHD than stimulants. Some doctors (mine) are open to combining it with a long-acting stimulant, which actuall

OP here. I know there are a few solutions out there to the "GHA doesn't have a lockfile" problem that we all know and love. This is the one that I created to use internally at Old Well Labs. It makes using the `Require action

4.6 was the last model that let you disable adaptive thinking and set max thinking token budget. I liked having that available, and still use it sometimes.

How's that paradoxical? Wouldn't TFA would seem to support findings of that sort?

Small world. I'm from the town directly south of Mooresville. I'm fond of the area myself. Traffic is pretty awful though.

A few years ago, I spent a summer renting a 1 bedroom new build apartment in the south part of Seattle. The only outside light or fresh air came from a sliding door that overlooked an interior parking garage. It always smelled like fumes. C

It's hard to separate for some people. Unfortunately those people tend to be the worst on both sides In general, I think (or at least hope) your experience is the more common one. But fwiw I do have a Jewish friend who was personally c

Hey, First things - I used to work for AWS, unless your job is more of an evangelist thing, or unless the policy is changed, you need get approval to share side projects. So don't get in trouble over this! Personally, I am not comforta

Yep, I've been using a local vm-centric agent setup for about 3 months, and it works great. I think there is also value in the fact that with a local VM, you can have the same public IP address, so you're not relying on an EC2 EIP

Filtering out is my guess. About 20 years ago, I remember getting my hands on an answer key for the personality screener used to work at Target. This was just for a $7/hr cashier position, but it had a very low pass rate. To them, the

I didn't choose to have kids, but I have a friend who prioritized doing so, and she talked about hoping to have a larger family. She got married and had her first child not long after graduating from college. So biologically a very hea

Only mentioning this because the OP did - but for me (also ADHD) it's kind of the opposite. I'm finishing side projects for the first time ever because I can actually get them working before I get bored of them. My projects are mo

How did you get any of that from the comment above? I thought the elitism they were referring to is the the assumption that other jobs don't also have equally deep impacts on a person's identity and way of being. The part about ex

Yes, and this is something that is routinely overlooked. Work identities run deep, and they are not easily changed. Andrew Yang actually made a strong point when he was talking about automation-driven job losses way back in 2019. He said yo

I use tailscale with Orbstack so that my agents on the vm can use tailscale serve to share dashboards I can view on my phone. Works out nicely. One thing I noticed though, is that even if I set up the VM as a tagged device with limited acce

A "WASP ethical framework" is barely a thing, if at all. The Princeton founders were motivated by moral obligations derived from a particular subset of Protestant Christianity. They were dissenters from the Anglican establishment,

Nobody said that. Yes, Princeton was founded by Presbyterians and that was a huge influence on ethical norms there. But most of the white people at Princeton aren't Calvinists either, and any that are would tell you that literally nobo

It's hard to do apples to apples performance with postgres - it really does depend on the data model and how you interface with it, but the thing about performance for DDB is that it can be very consistent. Pricing also depends a lot o

I worked for AWS Premium Support over a decade ago. Waiting 3 days or more, for a non-premium support customer would have been not unusual back then either. But at least the quality of response was typically pretty good, haven't seen w

I'm with you. Nobody serious uses the UI to make changes with AWS. At the very least, use the AWS CLI. IaaS is the norm though. I'm tired of people acting like complex infrastructure tooling is adversarial because it's not co

I'm surprised by the author's hate towards DynamoDB. It's probably one of my favorite AWS Services. Great availability and no operational overhead. Cost was pretty minimal too each time I've used it, but you do need to s

I'm old and bitter about this, but you're not reducing risk by going with PaaS, you're just outsourcing it. That recent "My AI Agent deleted my prod DB" story was only possible because the PaaS they were using allow
