wasn't it thoreau who said "Not that the story need be long, but it will take a long while to make it short" personally, I think there's a time and place for short versus long, just like there's a time and place for

Academic writing uses words with meaning in very domain specific ways; those in the domain understand it, and those outside find it confusing. If an AI just randomly throws out domain specific words without that domain's specific meani

Yes, this was a bit of a surprise to read when dealing with crypto: "This one lives in CIRCL's threshold RSA implementation... float64 has a 53-bit mantissa... the result is silently rounded before it is ever cast back to an integ

I've read blindsight and echopraxia, but not starfish, so thanks for the reminder. If starfish is even despairing than blindsight and echopraxia, then this should be "fun"!

part of this I understand is survival. And I understand why you do this. The other part of this is why it's so frustrating for me to find the right person. Everybody's resume looks perfect for the role, and I have to waste 30-45

that's a very dangerous analogy, because you would be considered the domain expert and you are just asking for synonyms for something you already know but may not remember off-hand. now, what if you asked for the synonym for "prov

In healthcare, HIPAA/GDPR equivalent would block this. Let's be realistic in our discussion; this is not the same as google buying up a library worth of books, scanning and destroying them

the consensus seems to be that the foam itself is the spring (hence the successful adidas evo sl and dynafish xiaonian), and the carbon plate/rod/whatever is more to control/manage that "spring".

can't several small hometown grocers get together to be able to make that volume/quantity? Surely that would be better than just buying from costco?

interesting the ones they chose to name; I would have probably started with 6502/68000/68020/z80 assembly, fortran, cobol, basic, c, ada, simula 67, sh, zsh, bash, napier 88, tcl, perl, rexx, before hitting the next generatio

somehow mixed grip makes me twist slightly which caused me back problems; after a few tweaks to the lower back, I decided that mixed wasn't worth it (I don't compete anymore). Yes, you are right, I do use the hook grip, since I a

ditto. I don't have great numbers, my bench is terrible, not even 1.5x BW, but I did manage to get my DL to ~2.5x in a competition, then tweaked my back and now only double overhand, which means my grip tends to go when I get to ~2x BW

Absolutely. Let's say I have a problem with gRPC and traced it to code generated using the gRPC compiler. I can reproduce it, highlight it and I'm pretty sure the gRPC team would address the issue. Replace gRPC compiler with LLM

I've done a lot of long hikes (200+km in the sahara, 6000+m mountains in kazakstan), and 2kg extra means a lot, like the difference between carrying extra fuel/food versus just clothing. Anyway, you can try it yourself, wear a 2kg

keen eye. 4 days old account, verbose comments. Sigh. As far as I know, the problem is still how to segment data flow from control plane for LLMs. Isn't that why we still can prompt inject/jail break these things?

you may have a point, i.e. some mechanism to invoke a behavior that only a bot or LLM could do, that a human would not, e.g. click on this button now in a hidden div/transparent color or measure response time within page load. the prob
