Having everyone on a team have different personalities is managerially inefficient. You have to deal with each team member in a different way instead of being able to have a unified emotional approach. So we required frontal lobotomies for

I know this is obvious trolling, but it’s close to a truth. Selecting for a passion for languages that aren’t anyone’s first language gets you polyglots—folks that’ve had to abstract their knowledge and understand what’s an ecosystem featur

OpenBSD's security stance being the stuff of legend, I'm curious how many vulns have been found over the last couple months while the big model companies are flaunting their ability to find exploits. It'd be super cool to see

What killed forums wasn’t that they were crappy, or that Reddit exists, or that they were passé. They were killed by the combination of spam and regulation. Same reason Craigslist no longer has personals—we shifted the legal and labor burde

Yep, this—we aren’t as close to the equator, but there’s less atmosphere to filter UV. Not so much in terms of beach days, of course, so sunburns here tend to be less than full-body. All that said: a daily mean of 13-14 is past what we’d se

Denver, CO, USA resident here -- this looks _super_ useful and I'm likely to start using it heavily. Our weather here is usually very outside-encouraging (if getting hotter over the years) and our UV is _ridiculous_; I see the index hi

Hm. Am I understanding correctly that this is a repeated and periodic complaint, not a new thing being raised by ISPs? Most of my familiarity with ISP policies is from being stateside, where there's a large overlap in ownership between

If you want to realistically compete in a market with state-backed firms, you need state backing. Aerospace is a prime example.

My mistake on tech; it’s a beautiful display. Alas, I speak from experience when it comes to the thermally-caused color shift. Hopefully it’ll be AppleCare covered.

Don't forget that your OLED screen will start to color-shift as the heat cooks the panel!

This strikes me as the right move, but the timing isn't lost on me. Model training companies want easier access to data, and they have a lot of money and are growing their lobbying and political influence muscles. The culture of the pe

That’s a nice short-term solution. How do you envision adding an infinitely-deep-pocketed state-sponsored supplier to the mix over the longer term?

I lived in Dallas for about four years. There’s not a lot I miss, but I sure do miss Central Market (an HEB brand).

This is the main reason to go to a name-brand school.

If you’re going to stare at it year in and year out, getting the best fit for yourself is worthwhile. I shelled out for PragmataPro ages ago and have no regrets there.

I get this, and would recently have had a similar reaction. But I have to ask: do you typically run your agent harness in yolo mode?

Oof. "Price per perp" is so perfectly aligned with LinkedIn writing style I'm surprised I hadn't seen it already.

I don't disagree, hence the chicken-and-egg problem.

The French have more of a social safety net, which enables extended protests. I understand the irony in stating this (well then, USian, get off your ass and demand a social safety net), but the chicken-and-egg problem is real. This is setti

This is how I’m going to read all references to AI safety going forward. Brilliant.

Pi and OpenCode are Claude Code-alikes. Hermes and *claw try to be somewhat more autonomous.

For a somewhat hybrid approach here, have a look at https://github.com/DrCatHicks/learning-opportunities — the idea is to be used during “productive work” (so it’s not purely learning-oriented as with your repo here),

Oh yes. Very much so. And ideally without thinking or actively having to choose—hence the get-on-the-index-funds angle.

Strictly speaking, the big A.I. companies _want_ the public to own half of them. Passively. In index ETFs in their 401(k)s and other retirement portfolios. That way the get all the money without any of the actual influence.

I gather most of the ethos behind Anthropic is "we don't want to work with Sam".

If you're looking for a no-AI vibe from your browser, you probably won't get it from Brave. Zen might be a better fit. If you're just trying new browsers to see what's out there and clean, I've really liked Orion.

The Pandora algorithm -- and Pandora's positioning -- is truly a product of its time. You'll want to look into the Music Genome Project (whose very name dates it; the Human Genome Project finished in 2003), but equally influential
