I'd expect that to get swiftly replace by something else.

A lot of people consider score keeping like this to be more important than the job itself. I can't even say that they are wrong.

Yes, one of NVidia's selling points for the b200 is that performance per watt is better than before. High power consumption without controlling for performance means nothing.

This sounds like what PI planning is imagined to be in "safe".

Yes, that's exactly it. A lot of people have shown that gas trucks suffer range loss as well, but they start off with higher range and get refilled in <5 minutes. The EVs lose enough range that they often need to be charged deep int

True, but regenerative braking eliminates most of that as well.

Reading this made me wonder if I have an alt account that I forgot about, because this is exactly how I think about our current state. Hey, remote work isn't productive, lets go into an office and push all our code to github and deploy

The port count is a real problem on modern laptops. I like USB-C, but why are there so few of them? Having to have a hub for basic things is really annoying.

I thought about making a joke like this, but I was afraid that it'd be closed as a dupe.

TBH, those tests are mostly marketing failures. EV trucks aren't really good at hauling trailers over large distances, as the aerodynamics produce a massive impact on range. Multiple tests have shown this by showing 50% or more range r

IDK, some of the remote teams that I've worked on were only able to meet in person once per year, if that. They were very communicative on the tools that we had though.

Every time that I read this about remote work, all I can think is how much I miss IRC and the culture that came from it. We were doing remote work effectively decades ago. Don't have hallway conversations to fix bugs? Easy, just post y

TBH, I think covid and the push towards Zoom and others had a similar outsized effect. It made synchronous meetings nearly "free" for many more people.

We just need another tool for ranking tools via ToolRank. We'll crowdsource the ranking from a combination of user responses to the agents themselves as well as a council of LLM tool rankers.

Texas and Florida both have a lot of solar as well, with TX likely passing CA on battery storage over the next few years. Those states also have much cheaper energy than CA. California's energy problems aren't due to the source of

The flip side to this is that perl often favored brevity over simplicity. It turns out that this is also a really useful attribute when working with LLMs. I'm not sure how confident I am here, but it really wouldn't surprise me if

Was this written by one of the firms trying to justify the practice?

I sometimes wonder how different things might have been if Perl had been the dominant scripting language at the time that ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code and other tools like that became available. Would Python have been able to compete, in a w

Yeah, I'm still confused as to why so many people in "AI engineering" seem to think that MCPs are the key to everything. They are great if you have a UI that you want and it needs a plugin system, obviously. But the benefits

For web apps, I'd guess that many of us already do that via Playwright or other MCPs. I'd bet there are people doing something similar with desktop apps too.

I've finally gotten around to learning Go this year and I'm having a pretty similar experience. It really feels like a simpler language and ecosystem compared to Python. On top of that, it performs much better!

I thought the same. Having said that, the parenthesis in the example are really wrong for what they were trying to convey. I suspect that they built this sql sample for the document and made some mistakes in its generation. Perhaps I could

Yeah, for me Segway has been a great lesson in how patents can hold back innovation. It was a niche player that prevented others from trying to innovate on the form factor for a number of years.

I think you are describing it pretty well, and I've noticed the same thing. The farther into the future the forecast goes, the higher the probability is that it will look like the historical average. One thing that I've found to h

It is crazy how paranoid people can be, IMO. They don't seem to understand that these companies don't really value one person's information highly enough to do stuff like that. It is everyone's information that they valu

What law governs this? I'm familiar with a lot of restrictions on grid-tie systems, but I've never heard of it being this strict for something that could (presumably) be done without a back feed. I mean, are you saying that someon

ecobee is still cloud connected, but they work nicely with homekit. AFAICT, that enables local control. I can confirm that they work nicely with homeassistant via the homekit integration.
