That's more or less the definition of AI app for the moment, no? If it's not using an LLM[0] for whatever magic trick it's offering then it's not really an AI app. And if it mediates input/output between the user an

We have a script and a input library that has a bunch of scoring dimensions and allows a head to head comparison of a new candidate prompt vs what's in prod. It takes a configuration (prompt, which LLM to use, temperature etc.) and the

Not super successful yet but I've been working on https://nativi.sh on nights/weekends. It's a tool to help make your writing more fluent when you're working in a non-native language. We have a fair amount of

Middle square is actually pretty good. Solid odds of the opponent giving you a layup with a bad break.

Not even sure these guys fit the standard mantle of language hyping charlatans. Most of the catastrophic choices were things you could do in any language. With the bonus of no meaningful comments and just committing to master so there'

I work at a place that has ancestral Gooby code. It is truly horrific and an affront to whatever machine god (GPT-X?) may judge us in the future. The badness has literally nothing to do with the language. All the bad parts are due to the or

It reminds me of that shields down article[0] but for your customers. Maybe it’s just me but if there are enough little interactions with a vendor that go poorly because of the counterparty clearly not giving a shit they end up in a kind of

It's basically grammarly for any™ language. It's geared towards helping middle and advanced speakers get past that point where you can express yourself but you still come off awkward and clearly non-native. Backend is Rust (Loco&#

GRU is nominally military intelligence and SVR inherited the KGB illegals program. These programs are really hard and have a ton of overhead supporting a relatively small number of actual officers. Having duplicate capabilities for it is a

I didn't know the GRU had an illegals program. I thought it was all SVR. Anyone know if that's a recent development?

Oops you are correct! Broader point still there that federal regulators can regulate contracts though.

Options are also contracts and the FTC seems to have succeeded in regulating those.

One thing that stands out to me is that most (all?) of the near-incidents people are worried about are aircraft are Part 135 ATP ops. GA will always be mildly dangerous, and increasingly they'll just not let you near a Class B in your

I'm happy to see testing come back, might give school another look in a couple years when more follow suit. I was looking at applying to grad schools last year. I've been out of school for, uh, a bit, and my undergrad was neither

It's closer to 2x the cost but that's a fairly fat margin since the Sawstop models ate the whole upper end. With a competitor they could probably get down to 1.5x.

ohhh haha. I just realized that. I clicked on madina first so when I clicked elsewhere I assumed it was the same element and I didn't notice the style difference. User error!

Wicked cool! I like this format of practice. Just found a small bug though. The click-to-translate for a given word seems to miss the target of click somewhere. It's translating عُمَر and سَارة as listen (and in the latter case the cli

The problem is that legal advice is hard and requires nuance. It's not even entirely wrong. Simply not paying rent is not sufficient cause for eviction. Not paying rent is permissible if maintenance is neglected. Despite IBM's col

It's interesting how the marathon discrepancies mostly disappear at left and right of the curve (looking at 2:30 and 6:30). Presumably top runners are putting out 100% of sustainable effort the whole time so there's no reserve ene

European lack of AC is mostly that they historically haven't needed it. It's not like they can't afford ACs. Also, 27C (80° in freedom units) as your normal peak temp is pretty firmly in "why bother with AC" territo
