I’m sorry I still don’t get it. Could you explain that in different phrasing ? A comcast customer always had the option to pay for unlimited data. I get that part. What is the 2nd part? “Started offering it as standard” means what?

I recently had the occasion to work with a client that was heavily invested in XML processing for a set of integrations. They’re migrating / modernizing but they’re so heavily invested in XSL that they don’t want to migrate away from i

I learned recently on [a video]( https://youtu.be/a4vHwY0wMjs?t=246 ) that for very large black holes , we suspect there is no difference. For smaller BH, the gravity gradient is higher and it would be detectable.

Yours seems like a c.2023 perspective of coding assistants. These days it’s well beyond autocomplete and “generate a function that returns the numbers from the Fibonacci sequence.” But I would think that would be well understood here. How c

And not just in aviation. Consider what aviation did to make the world smaller. Huge 2nd order changes. The COVID-19 pandemic would not have happened the way it did, if there were no Boeing or Airbus. Big hard-to-predict changes ahead.

I would think pesticides in the 1890’s through 1930’s were not as dangerous as what came later. Is that a poor assumption?

I’m curious / what other ways do people contribute ? This is obviously a blind spot for me. Like, contributing a sense of fun? Being cheerful?

Aider doesn’t provide any interface that’s integrated into the editor tool, as you point out. That might be true for other similar side-by-side tools that I am not aware of. But, if you tell aider to watch your files, you can drop a specia

Interesting. This is another problem aider does not experience. It works on a git repo. If you switch repos, it changes context. I’m not affiliated with aider. I just use it. I have a bet that many of the pitfalls people experience at the m

Aider, the tool, does exactly the opposite, in my experience. It really works, for me. It iterates by itself and fixes the problem.

The problem I've had is not that the APIs are complicated but that there are so darn many of them. I agree the API docs are not high on the usability scale. No examples, just reference information with pointers to types, which embed ot

You can also farm out subtasks to the Gemini Flash models. For example using Aider, use Pro for the "strong" model and Flash for the weak model.

I don't get that. How? - There are principals. (users, service accounts) - Each one needs to authenticate, in some way. There are options here. SAML or OIDC or Google Signin for users; other options for service accounts. - Permissions

You could post on Reddit asking for help and someone is likely to provide answers, an explanation, probably even some code or bash commands to illustrate. And even if you don't ask, there are many examples. But I feel ya. The right exa

Is this a US-centric view? Presumably crossing national borders, as noted in the article, it would be more effective to catch IMSIs. When there are lots of countries clustered together in a smaller geographical space, ie, not the USA, it m
