In my experience, it's less gaps and more lack of mainstream brands. The example that comes to mind is ketchup. At Whole Foods I can get generic store brand ketchup or a variety of fancy ketchups that cost 3-10x as much, but they don&#

Fair enough. I was asking mostly because it looks like the current demo is Windows only. I'm trying to de-Windows my life before I'm forced onto Windows 11 and I imagine multi-platform support isn't a high priority for a pers

I think modern polling is deeply flawed, but taking the sentiments of a particular subreddit as more representative of an entire political party than the polling is probably taking it too far.

I work in an environment where access to LLMs is still quite restricted, so I write most of my code by hand at work. Conversely, after work I still have ideas for personal projects but mostly didn't have the energy to write them by han

Neat project, and your experience mirrors mine when writing hobby projects. About the project itself, do you plan to open source if eventually? LLM discussion aside, I've long been frustrated by the lack of a good free desktop 3D CAD s

Different strokes for different folks and all, but that sounds like automating all of the fun parts and doing all of the drudgery by hand. If the LLM is going to write anything, I'd much rather make it write the tests and do the implem

The absolute value of one share doesn't really mean anything. No matter how you slice it, down 40% means that the company lost 40% of its value overnight. That's pretty Earth shattering for any company IMO.

> who is often easily beaten by LLMs Is that really the case? My experience is fairly limited, but I've found that the LLM's willingness to fill in plausible sounding (but not necessarily at all accurate) numbers where it need

Yeah, but the plate itself was $100/year last time I looked, which is outrageous. (It looks like it's $50/year now. I swear that's lower than it used to be)

I guess you're in AZ? In CA, the absurd yearly cost is enough to keep me from bothering with anything more than the basic olates.

The OP didn't actually imply that Tesla is good, just that Ford is worse.

This is extremely limited scope annecdata, but I've spent a few tens of hours each testing LLM coding agents in Rust for personal projects and in Python at work. My impression is that LLMs are far more productive in Rust. I attribute t

I've had very bad luck with Taco Bell's AI. It is not good at all with modifications in my experience. I actually order on the app now just to minimize my interaction with the chatbot. It is very good at processing "mobile or

What are "normal stores"? For me, Ralphs (Kroger), Stater Bros and Whole Foods are the main available (what I think of as) "normal" grocery stores, and of the three anything on sale at Ralphs is sure to be the cheapest o

Ah, you're right, the struct case is actually pretty straightforward (especially since recursion is likely forbidden anyway), I just have trouble contorting my brain to such a different viewpoint.

For what it's worth, I am an active developer of space flight software. This might be true somewhere, but it's not true anywhere I've ever encountered. The contortions required to avoid using the stack would be insane and cau

I honestly can't tell if you know a lot more than me or a lot less than me about how computers work... A couple of honest questions: 1. Where do you save the current value of the return address register before calling a function? 2. Wh

And yet my experience looking at the deluge of clearance-required dev jobs from defense startups in the past couple of years is that there is absolutely no premium at all for clearance-required positions.

Take a look at job adds for major defense contractors in jurisdictions that require salary disclosure. Wherever all that defense money is going, it's not engineering salaries. I'm a non-DoD government contractor and even I scoff a

Aside from the engine detaching, it doesn't appear that this incident is in any way similar to the previous incident.

IIRC they used to always style "NASA" as "N.A.S.A." even though the agency itself never uses periods and is of course always pronounced as a word rather than initials. (This particular example stuck in my mind just becau

Not a 1-1 comparison. For my daily double shot espresso, actual gourmet locally roasted coffee costs me just over $2. My coffee equipment cost enough that factoring in some kind of depreciation for it seems necessary, which would put my cos

Sure, that's basically how Kindle pricing works ($X with ads, or $X+$Y without ads) and it's infinitely better having the choice. If Amazon ever gets rid of the without ad version they will lose me as a customer overnight. Likewis

The fact that there are "cloud pricing" and "schedule a call" links already tells me all I need to know. Doesn't seem like this is a product that is really competing with SQLite at all.

There's a lot _I_ don't understand about LLMs, but I strongly question whether there is a lot that the best experts in the field don't understand about LLMs.
