Back in the VGA days, I worked for a video card maker, and one of them supported a multi-head configuration. You could stick as many as 16 into one machine, if it had enough slots. Thus driving 16 monitors at once. I was responsible for tak

It does exist, and it has been independent, and consequently global markets have priced that in. If that changes, markets will respond accordingly.

Someone tried this, I saw it one of the Reddit AI subs. They were training a local model on whatever they could find that was written before $cutoffDate. Found the GitHub: https://github.com/haykgrigo3/TimeCapsuleLLM

Agreed, I get better design and arch solutions from it. And part of my system prompt tells it to be an "aggressive critic" of everything, which is great -- sometimes its "critic's corner" piece of the response is mo

OP posited SQLite database contention. I don't know enough about this space to agree or disagree. It would be interesting, and perhaps illuminating, to perform a similar experiment with Postgres.

Yes, 100%. Being immobile is bad, whether you're standing, sitting, or lying down. (Too much strain from movement is bad too, hence RSI for many of us.) I really enjoy having the flexibility/option of standing or sitting, and IMO

Another comment mentioned using a linter to prevent 'console.log' from being mergeable in a PR, and this is exactly the kind of approach I'd take. Preventing an invalid state from existing is a pretty useful principle.

Reskill to what? When AI can do software development, it will also be able to do pretty much any other job that requires some learning.

I don't know the first thing about such things, but I'll bet if companies were pushed on this they'd suddenly start asserting that it's a lease, which I think is typically taxed similarly to a sale. I hate the "ever

My fear/anxiety causes me to avoid action. Fear of mistakes, failure, reproach/criticism from others, that it's going to take a lot of time/money, that I'll waste a lot of time/money, etc. Then, once I've

I think the only way this gets better is with software development tools that make it impossible to create invalid states. In the physical world, when we build something complex like a car engine, a microprocessor, or bookcase, the laws of

Oh awesome, thank you! I will check back in December.

I'm interested, but I can't find any documentation for it. Can I give it local content (documents, spreadsheets, code, etc.) and ask questions?

Wow. If you think capitalism produces inequalities, you should check out some of the other systems that have been tried!

Every complex piece of software "breaks in weird ways", that doesn't make it terrible. It will also break if you're trying to do 'weird' things it's not really designed for.

From the article: "Infineon did not report the flaw to NASA because the company did not know what the transistors would be used for, Fitzpatrick said." They might not have "known", but come on, you're selling radiat

If you work in the JVM ecosystem, I can recommend (Java/Kotlin) + Quarkus + JDBI with Postgres. Quarkus supports testcontainers out of the box for tests, and it just plain works. I don't have experience with it, but some people al

Once you're familiar with friction, you start seeing it everywhere. And then you hate how much of it there is. I'm sure there's a philosophical lesson in there somewhere. As far as battling it goes, my experience is that you

Fair enough on the CSS, and I didn't realize autosave is already done, thanks! I did see the '---' collapsible and that helps but only if you have one section you want to collapse. I'm perhaps more visually-oriented than

Experimented a few more minutes, and I have a few suggestions I think I'd like to see implemented: -- Allow regular expression search. -- Click outside the note to save. (Autosave every N seconds would be nice as well.) -- Customizable

Uh... maybe not? I've been living with just a few folders in Outlook for some time now (Inbox[0], Archive, and Important) and can almost always find what I'm looking for. Usually with a search word/phrase, sometimes by anothe

Looks clean, but how are you organizing the "thousands of notes I had on Google Keep"? It looks like a single page of notes.

The lawsuit was settled out of court ( https://www.wsbradio.com/news/national/documents-detail/VUTB... ). Reading between the lines, I'm guessing OceanGate (a company with substantial financial resources)

We dropped Amazon Prime earlier this year, in part because of the introduction of ads, and we haven't missed it. We're now talking about moving to the model where you stream one or two providers at a time, then switch. Between the

Correction -- at least for Challenger, engineers did not think there was margin, and argued against the launch. At the technical level, both tragedies were caused by design flaws. Organizationally and culturally, multiple factors contribute

> fetishize human workers and read more like activist pieces arguing against tech. Agreed. The writing style, including adjective/adverb use, is clearly intended to convey an emotional tone of disgust and displeasure. I'd love

Naive thought since I'm not familiar with the situation, but since Uber/Lyft could simply raise rates it seems to me this is political posturing on their part to see if they can force the city to back down. What am I missing here?

Yeah, it's pretty awesome to watch "the first" of something! I wasn't born early enough to watch the moon landing, but I did watch the livestream of the first successful landing of a Falcon 9. Watching that bit of scienc

100% control/ownership was "the Microsoft way", but perhaps there's an alternate universe where they did jointly launch OS/2 due to business needs, with Microsoft intending to claw back control. Would have been inte
