You’re projecting your values. There’s very strong arguments to be made in both directions without being responsible for a family line (however you might choose to define that) or an entire species.

Ergh. My muscle memory is to use Opt+- with great frequency. Presumably that means folks will start to flag my stuff as generated.

Hopefully a cheap transceiver chip will change this, too, but all-copper 10GbE switches are stupid expensive.

You can run 10GbE over twister pair copper.

Yeah, the ROI calculator's target audience is the folks with the checkbook, so it needs to be a dollar figure. My _actual_ hope is that this lets engineers focus on feature work (which is typically more rewarding anyway) without consta

I know that's a bit kneejerk, but I actually think that's a pretty reasonable question. Automating the reputation and network of an individual person doesn't seem like a good fit for an LLM, regardless of the person. But the

I'm building RSOLV ( https://rsolv.dev ) as an alternative approach to GitHub's Copilot agent. Our key differentiator is cross-platform support - we work with Jira, Linear, GitHub, and GitLab - rather than limiting teams

Been on this about a week at the $100/mo mark. I’m not hitting quota limits (I’d swap to the $200/mo in a heartbeat if I were), using Claude Code on multiple tasks simultaneously without abandon. Prior to the flat plan I was spend

@xenodium is almost single-handedly creating the possibility of org-mode being as cross-app usable as markdown, and I _heartily_ appreciate it.

Of course. I’m technical, and not a capitalist desperately seeking alpha. I’m not the target audience. Strongly suspect that’s common here.

What I love about this method is that it so closely matches what actual US govt censors do with documents pending release: take a copy, black it out with solid black ink, then _take a photocopy of that_ and use the photocopy for distributio

"There are three ways of dealing with opposition. The recommended and stupid way is to directly engage it in a cooperative spirit. This never works unless there is genuinely some sort of misunderstanding that can be easily clarified.&q

Being the sole western industrialized nation that hadn't just had most of their infrastructure bombed to rubble can't have hurt.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. It's kind of amazing to me how much USGov business Accenture continued to soak up after the misfired start of healthcare.gov. Their core competency is pretty clearly acquiring contracts, not f

In this case, I think it’s fair to say that it’s both incompetence and malice. It doesn’t have to be just one. It can be two things.

Your family member has reason to feel that way. They're in a bubble. Bubbles are great till they pop.

There's a pretty sizable proportion of USians that have a hard time accepting that other countries exist. For what it's worth, we're also starting to have similar (though so far less pronounced) reactions to domestic travel.

Ironic and delicious, since this is also how the public education system in the US is incentivized.

An unforgettable anecdote from an electrical engineering professor I had, some 20 years ago. Engineering math works like this: if it's an order of magnitude bigger, round it to infinity. If it's an order of magnitude smaller, roun

At this point, the strongest (and almost only) predictor for a release announcement from OpenAI is a release announcement from Anthropic.

That and `elinks` were both viable and slightly more layout-focused.

It took me a moment to think through what a leading zero on a DOB meant and that it wasn't a Long Now foundation thing.

If they want to keep going down this route, they'll keep it quiet. Now is a rough time to be doing work with the US Feds that benefits the proletariat..._especially_ if it could compete with something Elon is involved in.

Fair call on AU/NZ. JP is a bigger ask in terms of cultural integration.

That’ll depend on the person—if you’re trans and having a hard time passing, you may well feel safer in Cuba. That said, you’re implying a point that’s valid: much of the world is in an oppressive state right now. South America’s always a m
