That's an illogical analogy, and I'm confident you can do better but were just being disrespectful. A more apt analogy is "do you really need a 28 SEER rated air conditioning system when there's a much cheaper 21 SEER av

You seem like someone who knows what they're doing, and I understand the theoretical underpinnings of LLMs (math background), but I have little kids that were born in 2016 and so the entire AI thing has left me in the dust. Never any t

Smolnet might be the answer. There really isn't a feasible mechanism for monetizing it. At worst, you could have some text ad embedded. No images. Minimal semantic markup (links, lists, quotes, code, generic text) in the case of gemini

Thanks to a post here a week or two ago, I started looking at Gemini and the Smolnet in general. It looks really appealing to me. No layout. Just the data and accompanying meta semantics (this is a list item, this is a quote, etc.). There&#

I bought an EV like a week before this whole thing started. It's been pretty surreal to see everyone talking about skyrocketing gas prices and I haven't once needed to fill up a tank. Reminds me a bit of immediately after 9/1

I am not a hardware guy, so I am asking this in good faith: excluding people with corporate backing, who actually needs DDR5 RAM? Gamers? Why is DDR4 or DDR3 not good enough?

Well first you have to learn the Arduino programming language. And the stdlib.

> People were clearly willing to pay 100x more just for familiarity and the ecosystem This is obviously logical. If I know how to program in Python or JS but not C and am familiar with SSH, I can do something with a SBC in a few minutes.

This article came just in the nick of time. I'm in fandoms that lean heavily into fanfiction, and there's a LOT out there on Ao3. Ao3 has the worst search (and yo can't even search your account's history!), so I've

Yes. My Android feed's Github repos are always AI these days. HN is 50+% AI posts. And I just built a NAS that is about 50% more expensive than it would have been without AI. I'm so exhausted by this and ready for the economic c

This is what I do, and I was taught by an experienced Git user over a decade ago. I've been doing it ever since. All my merges into main are fast forwards.

> Git generally works better without rebases and squash commits. If squash commits make Git harder for you, that's a tell that your branches are trying to do too many things before merging back into main.

> ours means what is in my local codebase Since it's always one person doing a merge, why isn't it "mine" instead of "ours"? There aren't five of us at my computer collaboratively merging in a PR. There

I'll be honest, as a fairly skilled and experienced programmer who isn't a git expert, I know what HEAD means, but when I'm rebasing I really have no idea. It all seems to work out in the end because my collaborative work is

Under-counter refrigerators are also a thing. They're often not cheap, though. KitchenAid has a two-drawer one for around $3,000. But you can find off-brand ones for $700, too. I don't know if the KitchenAid is that much better. T

Yeah, my in-laws literally stand around the fridge with it open for multiple minutes while they shuffle food around to get to things they've tetrised into the back, and then to re-organize once they've gotten what they need. They
