   What makes for an amazing cable? For USB, if it carries data and power, I’m usually pretty happy with it.

   This all sounds good, but the Government of one of the world's primary super powers (The United States) is currently unwilling to participate in fighting climate change, so any plan seems DOA without a major policy change on that front

   I think the rapid improvements in local models will make a $2,000/mo price point completely impossible to sustain. This feels like a race to the bottom.

   Yup, I think the author needs to take their own advice and invest some time into putting it into their own words.

    Yup, it’s a great UX and it makes the media experience feel finished, not hacky.

    Floppy disks were ubiquitous when I was in college. When I got into Linux, I did an experiment raw writing zeros to floppies with dd to see what percentage of them had I/O errors. I tested with a stack of about 50 of them that were lef

    We could probably debate this ad nauseam, so I'll just give you my most compelling arguments. 1) Writing code the "old fashioned" way (i.e., a Python program that does X, Y, Z) allows you to arrive at a battle tested solution

    The craziest for me is companies that sticking stochastic agents into automated business processes and expecting stable/reliable outcomes. Businesses want deterministic processes in the vast majority of cases.

    I have been working on a language learning app for myself, and I am using a textbook that I like as the basis for an Anki inspired “learning tree”. This is working pretty well because I can build progressions from the original table of cont

    A huge chunk of SoaceX value in their filing is attributed to their AI technology (aka Grok). I believe it’s 90% or more… Now, it seems they’re leasing the infrastructure required for Grok to scale to Anthropic and Google. I wonder how that

    Yeah, but then it’s either an arduous manual review or incurring a bunch of token usage to review something that may be slop.

    Big dreamers, which is awesome, but they need a disciplined PM type team member to bring them down to Earth (ROI analysis on their roadmap).

    I tend to agree, but the gains will come at the expense of the early adopters. Then again, this has been the case in so many industries throughout history.

    Overkill in what way exactly? The LOC of the project shouldn't have any bearing on most people's usage of the project. SQLite is one of the well tested and mature projects in the world. What exactly would motivate someone to use P
