If true, this doesn't say anything about heredity though. It could just as well be all about environment and smart people carrying the same kind of environment on.

My guess is that it's the IBM or React of HR. Everyone knows it, everyone knows how to use it.

Hah, that's funny. Claude can't help but mess all the comments in the code up even if I explicitly tell it to not change any comments five times. That's literally the experience I had before opening this thread, never mind ho

Falling battery prices make storing solar electricity for later use economically viable. This means we can use electricity from solar anytime around the clock. Even accounting for the cost of batteries, it's still competitive with othe

Turns out young me was on to something, I wasn't just leaving wet towels laying around, I was fixing the air humidity problem.

Many top-level TLDs have requirements you need to fulfill, .edu is a good example. Similarly you need to prove you're a local entity for many country-specific TLDs. At the end of the day though, this attack vector will always be there,

Yeah, as a rule of thumb, this is a considerably better abstraction. Unfortunately it's hard to keep a strong separation between orchestration and business logic in practice, and harder still to ensure the separation stays there over t

Please don't post random LLM slop on HN, there's more than enough of it on the internet as is. The value of HN is the human discussion. Everyone here is capable of using an LLM if they so desire.

Apple is one of the largest service providers worldwide. Services are their second largest revenue stream after the iPhone.

How? There's no way for you to verify if they put synthetic data for that into the dataset or not.

Not necessarily back, but to the right environments. As quoted above, we see the same today in isolated tribes that live off of hunting and foraging. All of this also doesn't account for the lack of all other modern convenience such as

A small nitpick that doesn't take away from the rest of your comment: staying alive and fed was not necessarily a laborious activity for hunter-gatherers living in good climates [0]. It's our expansion into less hospitable environ

There is a simple solution to this problem, but it's not very popular: do the same thing Workers do, require using a separate file. All the tooling works out of the box, you have no issues with lexical scoping, etc. The only downside i

I don't think this argument makes sense. You wouldn't provision a 100GB server for a service where 1GB would do just in case unexpected conditions come up. If the requirements change, then the setup can change, doing it just becau

UDP gives you practically no guarantees about anything. Forget exactly once processing, UDP doesn't even give you any kind of guarantees about delivery to begin with, whether delivery will happen at all, order of delivery, lack of dupl

What I really want to know is how much they paid to acquire ui.com and whether that investment is paying off in any measurable kind of way.

I'm not sure which endpoint gp meant, but as I understood it, as an example, imagine a three-way handshake that's only available to enterprise users. Instead of failing a regular user on the first step, they allow steps one and tw

This paraphrased urban legend has nothing to do with quality engineering though? As described, it's designed to the spec and working as intended.

There are many contexts where this comment would apply, but border crossing is not one of them. If you're a foreigner trying to enter another country, then by definition you have less rights than natives.

If you're working alone you can also send raw IP packets down the wire by way of telegraph key if you'd like. What you do alone behind closed doors isn't really anyone's business and is up to you. For everyone else, the

This is a pretty narrow view. Most APIs out there are not source available, frontend libraries are the odd one out in that regard. Likewise for docs, it doesn't matter if the LLM can read the docs or not if the docs literally don'

I can see where you might get that sentiment, but where do you plan to go when new tech rolls around, the docs don't cut it and your LLM of choice hallucinates APIs that don't exist? This was always Stackoverflow's bread and

This is kind of like asking what the point of Dropbox is when we have rsync. Rsync is nice, but most people won't know how to use it.

Bike paths don't have to be dry though, you can sweep them and it's fine. If you use studded tires, you can ride a bike in places where you can't even walk. Source is I used to do this when I lived in the middle of nowhere in

Helsinki hits more or less the same weather, people cycle there just fine. It's only a matter of infrastructure and gear.

The problems this article outlines are very real, but the explanation for the underlying mechanics doesn't really pass any kind of a sniff test for me. The central thesis is that real economic growth is stagnating because the overhead

LLM-s also report that they enjoy my questions, in fact they tell me it's a good question literally every time I ask about their weird choices.
