It is pretty common to be prompted to tip by the PoS system in any place you can buy made-to-order food. This includes stores that are normal retail stores but also have some sort of made-to-order food. Like a fancy wine shop or gourmet foo

> LLM-generated code has a tendency to “over-justify” This is the thing that drives my nuts about LLM-generated code. I will see PRs that fix a bug and the entire bug fix is re-explained in 10 different places in a code comment.

> 55% chance for a $10 payout; 45% chance to lose $10. You would keep on rolling that die, right? The answer is that it depends? If I have $1B then yeah I would roll the dice and keep rolling as long as they let me. If I have $100? Maybe

Honestly asking for any specific number is a deeply weird and off-putting question to ask.

I'm in my early forties and both my parents worked (as did all my neighborhood friend's parents) and we still spent a lot of time wandering around. Honestly I think people are really overthinking this. We spent a lot of time wande

Congratulations on getting back in shape. Just here to say that there is no such thing as ramping up too slowly when getting into (or back into running). So many people push too hard too fast and flame out.

Sure, findings ways to burn tokens is not hard. Even finding ways to burn tokens on things (like your example) which are actually useful is not hard. But what is the ROI on that from the company perspective. I mean, you could have also hire

Mr Back is already a very public figure in the bitcoin/crypto community who is the face of a public company. This isn't some rando who nobody has ever heard of before.

I mean, yeah? We can wag our fingers about what people find interesting but it is what it is. Bitcoin is an important technology in the world, and people are interested in who the inventor is. You may think it doesn't matter, but clear

This one is challenging I think because the article itself is so thin. The evidence seems really shaky. That said, clearly a lot of people really do seem to care who Satoshi is, so it doesn't seem like its out of the question for a new

I think they are saying what you want them to say. In the past they got a bunch of AI slop and now they are getting a lot of legit bug reports. The implication being that the AI got better at finding (and writing reports of) real bugs.

Are you saying Maccy was vibe-coded or that it was written in Python? I don't think either are true. I've definitely been using it (you're right, it's great!) since before vibe-coding was a thing. And looking at the GitH

This will obviously depend on which implementation you use. Using the rust arrow-rs crate you at least get panics when you overflow max buffer sizes. But one of my enduring annoyances with arrow is that they use signed integer types for buf

That makes sense. I don't know anything about embedded programming really but I thought that it really fundamentally requires async (in the conceptual sense). So you have to structure your program as an event loop no matter what. Wasn&

Right, because this would deadlock. But it seems like Zig would have the same issue. If I am running something in a evented IO system and then I try and do some blocking IO inside it then I will get a deadlock. The idea that you can write l

Honestly I don't see how that is different than how it works in Rust. Synchronous code is a proper subset of asynchronous code. If you have a streaming API then you can have an implementation that works in a synchronous way with no ove
