This reminds me of FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition and I have come across software that was pretty much written like this more than once. To be fair: finding the right level of abstraction in a sea of uncertainty can be a tricky problem - but s

And even though the points raised are mostly valid I think there is a lot of nuance to this. If you write control software for medical devices this is simply not true. Same goes if you handle incredibly sensitive data or critical infrastruc

> tailored to someone with my neurological makeup that causes this dislike of useless exertion Quite a lot to unpack here. I would argue the advice given is really good and valid for most people and so that's a good thing. I am sorr

Lots of negativity here. I don’t share the sentiment. I have ported one project over to the app router months ago when it was still in beta with zero problems and another one is in the works using server actions and drizzle-orm to get end t

About 5 years ago I wrote my master thesis on quantum computing, specifically on the construction of quantum circuits. As these circuits are generally unitary matrices an interesting question is: Given a set of gates that operate on one qbi

Just sent out my application. I have a thing I am working on in the education space using LLMs and since I would pay out of pocket for Vercel and OpenAI usage and I have no peers to discuss my work with this is pretty much ideal for me. It

This is great. I wonder if the price decrease comes from the competition (on the side of anthropic and from local LLMs). If so, I guess we will have to wait for a general GPT-4 competitor to come along before we see price decreases there as

Please no. Make my dog smarter so she can use the toilet or not roll in poop, great. But I don’t want to be attacked by Cthulus spawn at night.

I had a brief interaction with a real estate agent a few months back and he told me they really have trouble selling houses now at those interest rates. The run on housing apparently has dialed back significantly. He also mentioned that he

German reporting in. According to Weatherspark [1] starting November to March around 70% of the days are cloudy and it's cold so you would barely expose 15% of your body to the remaining sun. In feburary, around midday, on a cloudy day

Really hyped about this! I can't wait to try it out and watching the CI build as we speak. I am curious however about a few points. From their examples in the blog post it's not clear what kind of payloads can be transfered when u

I won't dispute that there is corruption and that there are still Nazis and right wing forces around - especially if you look in certain german states. But if I am completely honest lots of government agencies and the people working th

And also the inner city transport - at least in hamburg. Which is a great datapoint I think. Because this was true for all three months if I recall correctly and it means that there is absolutely a lot of public demand for inexpensive/

Uhh I am saving this one! Thanks! I remember the last time I had to set up a few mail templates it was so incredibly painful. Especially the testing of it is so painstakingly slow.

And while it may be true that it is far from AGI, I don’t think calling it a parlor trick does it justice. I used it this morning to set up a new workout routine for myself after having it write a little boilerplate typescript code to boots

It's a blade runner reference. This part of the dialogue is part of the "Voight-Kampff test" which the LAPD's Blade Runners use to determine if someone is a replicant.

I would consider myself left leaning and still wish to see a lot of progress and change but I disagree with quite a few talking points of what might be considered the current “zeitgeist” of the far left. Would I consider misgendendering a _

I could not agree more. At my current gig we have forms spanning 6 pages, where the state of each sub-form needs to be preserved, pretty much half of the form fields are conditionally loaded across all pages. There is tons of dynamic data d

I wonder if we will see something like this in MS Teams at some point as a lot of my colleagues seem to sit in front of 240p webcams from the 90s with the most atrocious lighting you can imagine.

I read that in the article but in the paper I only found a mention of tests for 200 cycles.

The catch is that this is a tiny lab prototype, where the energy density is projected and I could not find it in the paper that the cycling was in fact tested for 1000 times and even though the starting materials are cheap the article is ve

Is that how it works? I thought as long as the user gives explicit consent to that happening it's fine. Most checkouts I have seen have a checkbox you need to check before being redirected to stripe/paypal and the likes which asks
