While this specific rename looks dumb, the map providers deal with this kind of things all the time. Big georgraphical features like rivers, lakes, seas, mountains and also borders are different from different perspectives (mostly country-b

I entered my birth date and this calculator said I will eat a leather shoe some time in the near future. Very accurate, thanks, looking forward to that.

As for switching between sessions — it's the hierarchy that's lost on tabs. in 1.17 I get basically a three-level hierarchy: project -> workspace -> session I could say I rarely use more than one session per workspace (not i

Can you shed some light on what's the deal with the new interface (web/desktop)? I updated one of my opencode containers today and had to downgrade it back because: 1. Worktree/workspace support is gone altogether. No way for

I don't see how reading has anything to do with internal monologue. Do you hear the words you read when reading? If so, it surely has to be slow as hell. I did get relatively good scores in reading speed back in primary/middle sch

I have no problem with AI as-is, but writing should be concise and to the point, and without heavy tweaking current models write pretentious hard-to-read stuff like this article. A person who has something to say often has trouble stopping

I personally encode flacs as 192/256k opus from the start and that's fairly enough for most data save purposes, so no reencode for streaming is needed that's a bitrate of 1GB per 9-12h, and for cases when it's too much I

at least bun vibe-coded rust rewrite had a test suite (which doesn't justify it) we're all very grateful for cool toolchains and tools but I think people wouldn't even poke a stick at it if it doesn't pass a huge test su

No, I actually say that there are no words unless I think of them. Ideas appear out of nowhere and are made of nothing, like they just are integral part of my mind state

Well, I can't say for the general population, but for me there's just nothing unless I actively try to think of words, sentences and other things. One moment you don't have an idea and the next you do, like a state switch. I

Well, language is not really required for thinking and conscious experiences, a huge chunk of people don't even have an internal monologue, and some (that'd be me) don't have any "byproducts" of thought process. Tho

"For an LLM, it is exactly the opposite". Is it really? LLMs don't have words inside, for the most part they operate by applying transformations to a vector that does not contain any words at all. Words that come out of an LL

I see the point, but really this is solved better by having a solid foundation of UI components (might be an existing UI-kit or own thing, a piece of CSS anyway), and then you can use the same-ish classes over many sites. What I find with a

Probably just the convenience. Expression `select(User).where(User.id == user_id)` does look simpler and cleaner than `select(User).where(eq(User.id, user_id)))`. Maybe there is an actual eq function of sorts that allows that, and it's

Tailwind, IMHO, doesn't bring any real value to the developer or the codebase. It's just a weird way to write CSS right in the classes. We have a tool for that, it's called "writing CSS", and it actually has classes

There are examples like ORM query builders (something like `User.id == user_id` should not return a boolean, but rather some inspectable query part), multi-value comparisons (e.g. numpy arrays and views which could also be used as masks for

The fact that you know it literally means you understand, at least to some extent, how an internal combustion engine works (i.e. it is powered somehow by combustion, and jumping goblins are not combusting generally). If you would have zero

This "are LLMs conscious" question keeps somehow being thrown into the discourse and it's always the same arguments discussed. I don't get it. We don't have a definition of consciousness or any criteria. People ser

If I remember correctly, fatal insomnia shares most symptoms with other prion diseases (in which there might be no lack of sleep involved), so it's probably the brain damage that causes death, not insomnia itself.

Many Slavic languages do that, as well as Albanian for some reason? Russian speakers broadly consider sky blue / turquoise / cyan a distinct color right between green and blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu
