You mean like my feet aren’t a foot long, my thumb isn’t an inch? Ironically, my pinky is a centimeter thick and a meter is when I take a long step.

Russian disinformation network is truly all-encompassing, but it would be interesting to know how much of the "grassroots" part is knowing participants vs useful idiots. I still remember how many anti-vaxxers & COVID-deniers s

Whether they abuse their power is completely orthogonal to centralization. It’s also false. Just look at the amount of customer complaints in the Coinbase subreddit where they’ve blocked legitimate customer access.

Positive branch first is good advice when both branches are roughly even in terms of complexity. If the negative branch is just a return, I’d bail early instead. Negative first makes else-branches double negative which reads weird, eg. if !

Problems like this always come down to salary. I love embedded (hardware in general, really) and would absolutely love to do it, but during my entire career, the salaries for embedded have been so much lower than you get for slinging JS&#x2

That’s not how LLMs work.

by Zanfa 1y ago
Why wouldn't they be? LLMs need a lot of content for training and there's multiple orders of magnitude less to train on of if you limited it to insurance-specific content, so you'd probably get a really crappy LLM. And trai

If Shopify or Github can handle scale with Rails, maybe it’s not a framework problem.

by Zanfa 1y ago
Giving an existing Rails codebase to an LLM and effectively asking it to rewrite it in Go is going to result in a shitstorm of epic proportions. At least it’ll make for an interesting post mortem blog post.

None of what you described requires anything more than an isolated island with some extra JS. No need for complex client-side state, no need for a SPA framework, no bundling required, not even TypeScript. If you relied on DOM and a couple o

Google Search is distinct from Google's expansive ad network. Google search is now garbage, but their ads are everywhere are more profitable than ever.

Not GP, but yeah, more frequent fines, e.g $250k USD per fake listing would likely motivate Amazon to do something about it.

The main problem with TS is that your types are compile-time. You can have 0 uses of any/unknown, but you can still stuff a number into a string at runtime without any issues until it blows up. I know you should have defined validators

VAT applies equally to domestic and imported products and doesn't affect the balance. Tariffs only apply to imports, thus giving domestic producers an advantage (either lower prices or higher profit margins).

VAT doesn't affect free trade in any way though. You're mixing up unrelated concepts.

VAT applies equally to both domestic and imported products, unlike tariffs that apply only to imports.
