I've seen a similar setup with an llm loop integrated with clojure. In clojure, code is data, so the llm can query, execute, and modify the program directly

Waaay back when in Japan, sekigaisen (infrared) was a verb meaning to transfer contact details or photos or whatever between phones via infrared. It was amazing how fast the iPhone took over Japan and killed off their quirky phone ecosystem

To any Linux users, I recently bought a fully loaded M4 MacBook pro to replace my aging Lenovo and strongly regret it. I thought I would use it for playing with LLMs, but local dev on a Mac is not fun and I still don't have it fully se

I also learned to program in the era of Internet and then early SO. I didn't learn to just RTFM until much later, and when I did it was an epiphany.

The Danish word for hoarding is "hamstering". Perhaps the most adorable thing about the language. (P.S. the pronunciation of hygge is anything but hyggelig)

One difference is that the investors expect their money to be matched by some grant, so you have to do the work twice. The grants take into consideration investments, so it's basically part of the system.

My experience in Europe is that investors look for teams of three: a CEO, a CTO, and one more person whose full-time job for the first two years will be filling out funding applications. That's a 50% overhead from day one.

Just a tidbit for remembering bayes rule: P(A|B)P(B) = P(A,B) = P(B|A)P(A) The familiar forms P(A|B) = P(A,B)/P(B) = P(B|A)P(A)/P(B) immediately follow

If I'm trying to transfer a public ssh key for the first time I sometimes use netcat ;) (Never nc >> .ssh/authorized_keys. Write to another file first can't check is your key first just to be sure)

Seriously, in the EU only something like 10% of the money (citation needed) actually makes it to the researchers. A lottery or even a giant pinata would be more efficient. And that's not even accounting the wasted researcher hours.

What's it like in Sweden? When I lived in Denmark the government had its own e-boks system for mail. I only ever accessed it via web, but I'm sure there's an app as well. Back then everything was authenticated via NemID which

This reminds me of the phenomenon of competence being inversely correlated with confidence until some inflection point is reached on the journey to mastery. I think the argument being put forward here is that writing that boring code is par

Same, I have a Mac at work and can suffer the horrible window management by just having more physical monitors (3 + the built in screen). I bought one for home use because I liked the hardware and the idea of running local llms. Long story

The rich generally derive their wealth from the labours of a healthy and educated population. In most Western countries, these are proceeded at least in part paid by taxes and amount to a massive subsidy to those who need labour. Arguably t

My reading is that the statement wasn't an opinion either way, rather it was questioning whether survivorship bias needs to be accounted for. To your point though, I think it doesn't matter so long as you've learned to delive

This reminds me of auto-generated got commit messages. I can't fathom that someone would go to the effort of authoring a PR,and then not bothering to describe what they did. Unless of course they didn't actually go through the eff

It seems, though I have no way of knowing, that these clips were conceived by a human and realized using AI tools. How would you feel if these were presented amongst a sea of other clips that were prompted by "create a short video that

There are straightforward immigration paths to most of the desirable countries within Europe if you can land a job that pays a standard deviation above the mean, which most tech workers can. However, you're still looking at 1/4 of

At work we've licensed cursor, but as a vim holdout it's a nogo and we're otherwise somewhat restricted on what we can install. I have 3 vim commands: ZB $n: paste the buffer $n inside backticks along with the file path. Z: R

I am unqualified to answer but ran this question through an AI. The rough number is that apparently 10% of CO2 equivalent comes from meat farming, but don’t trust this. What did surprise me though is that a much larger benefit would result

The actual cost to retire a 1 ton co2e carbon credit should be $70-$80. A lot of these $10 programs do not actually retire the credit and sell it to somebody else, so you are in effect subsidizing the credit. https://carboncred

My not-so-humble opinion is that this type of incremental encoding of process as scripts results in a system built around process rather than a system that eats process. I'm all for a catalog of scripts automating common tasks. The mom
