your comment makes it seem like colonists reintroduced a native species (idk if that was the intention, but that’s how it reads), when in reality the horse species that were once native in South America was quite different from European Hor

I guess that warning is to prevent people from using it on a script because it’s not a stable command. But for normal shell usage, it’s the preferred method.

As an owner of a normal sized car, oversized cars are unnecessarily aggressive towards other people. Both because of the drivers attitude and the design. Some examples: Lights always blind me, they block almost all vision, and have very poo

I think the issue most of the time is that you only start with two states, and you can avoid complexity by not implementing a FSM. But suddenly requirements change, and you have 4 or 5 new states that could go back and forth. The original a

Somewhat unrelated, but I think coding a state machine is a much better interview question than typical leetcode questions. I’ve suffered way too much from ad-hoc written code with state being distributed all over the place in several funct

On the one hand I feel empathy towards the engineers because I know third party bugs can feel somewhat unfair and obscure. On the other hand if I understand correctly, the bug arises from an edge case from an error that was very common. I

Also anecdotal but in my experience English made car maintenance is awfully costly.

Of course the front-page will look like that. Niche subreddits are a completely different experience.

It’s a big deal because normally linters have been written in pure python and they are prohibitively slow for large code bases. This tool provides an important speedup that will save my team hour’s of waiting for CI.

I’m pretty sure they were using a high cost LLM to summarize, and for embeddings you only need Ada, which is orders pf magnitude cheaper.

I was waiting for something like this to build the simplest MMO I could (like pixels fighting or something like that). Maybe I’ll try it later this year if my current side project flops (which is highly likely)

They went from indexing with embeddings + LLM to just using a biased embedding for their use case. This should save them most of their costs.

Telecommunications is one of the only things stopping me from wanting to migrate to the US. I live in a third world latinamerican country but we have one of the best internet service in the world (it was awful when I was growing up). The re

I remember being a student. Never cheated because of ethics, not because I cared about learning (I did care). If I had a different ethics view I would’ve cheated as a means to an end and continued to try to learn as much as I could. I guess

> If sentience is a necessary feature of a mind producing the kinds of texts we produce, it is an open question whether LLMs have or will recover the structure that endows sentience. I kind of agree, but this is a big If. If it was neces

I think in some future we may be able to create something sentient, but it’s not this. AI is just a chain of matrix multiplications and some other tricks. Brains are on a whole other level with much more complex processes, even for ants. It

Good point. Maybe I should rephrase it as “Ask GPT” or “Generate an answer with GPT”.

I didn't remember that in the introduction. But if that was the case the book should've included more counterexamples and a less imperative language.

Yep, but in practice Seniority comes either from experience or time in the industry. So you'll undoubtedly meet seniors that won't try to find that balance.

For example the Open Closed principle is often times used to justify a plethora of inheritance chains rather than having a more generic class that can handle cases based on some parameter. Specially when all a subclass does is modify some c

Thanks! I haven't written much really. I killed my personal site some months ago, and this is the only public blog post I have now, but it's more related to my current side-project and how I got into programming: https:/&#x

Clean Code was one of the first books I read as a History student trying to become a self taught developer. From my point of view, coming from the rigor of historiography, the book was inconsistent and dogmatic. Still I took it as a replace

Except having these discussions is really hard. It ends up being you against uncle bob and you are not gonna win that argument against a senior-er engineer.

Zero. I’ve done this with google drive and GPT-3 (thus quite limited in prompt length). The biggest hurdle for your requirements is the nonexistent public API for ChatGPT and Roam Research.
