I think it could be gamed, and quickly derail into influencer territory. What makes progress reports useful and career-helping are valuable notes, not game-like achievements. Those are hard to craft, and often not digestable to a larger aud

I'm trying to simplify the live-bootstrap project by either removing dependencies, reducing build time or making it more unattended (by automating the image creation steps, for example). https://github.com/fosslinux&#x2

I would love to train an LLM from scratch to help me with some problems that they're not good at, but I can't, because it costs thousands of dollars to do so. You probably can't either, or can just in a very limited capacity

Brutally honest feedback: if everyone has a brand, then it's not special anymore. What's the next move after that?

I think you're missing something here. I can invest lots of time in Linux, for example. I don't know how to write a driver for it, but I know I could learn how to do it . If there's a bug in a driver, there's nothing st

I want to write about thinking crictically, specially but not limited to a software development context. Lots of people don't have resources to invest in LLMs (either self-hosted or not). They rely on what other people say. And people

Looks legit. I can see this call now has a lot more tokens for the reasoning steps. Maybe that's normal variance though. (I don't have a particular interest in proving or disproving LLM things, so there's no incentive for me

There are three possible generic values for `tool_choice`: none, auto and required. Can you remake the call explicitly using the value `none`? Maybe it's not using Python, but it's using something else. I think it's a good te

I see this: > "tool_choice": "auto" > "parallel_tool_calls": true Can you remake the API call explicitly asking it to not perform any tool calls?

It reads as poorly drawn caricature made by someone who secretly loves LLMs aimed at what he perceives an LLM skeptic to be.

Most programmers are not worth spying on or even scamming. That's fine. "dirty ass programmer" contrasted with "beautiful woman" is a stereotypical example , but not a rule. It represents an asymmetry in typical so

I already said this before: You're a dirty ass computer nerd, and a beautiful woman approaches you? Definitely a trap. Maybe a spy, maybe a scammer, maybe someone insane. Same with friendships, all sorts of things. Someone that's

Maybe we're on a Speed (1994) situation. There's a bomb in the bus. It will activate once we go past a certain speed. Once it activates, we can't go below a certain speed. Also, the bus driver is injured, and a random lady

The only name worse than "chain" for a social network feature would be "shackle". Both evoke the notion of slavery. You definitely don't want that. But who am I to say anything, right? We have things that are remini

Makes sense. Is there any risk of the laser going through the glass and damaging parts of the machine? Or things such as refraction? As I understand, those machines have a sheet of materials they can work with. This is probably the safest w

Was the Bronze Age Collapse a doomsday event? Mount Toba eruption? I think they were. I'm not saying anyone predicted those or something. It's just that the notion of doomsday is quite vague. I'm trying to broaden some notion

I think Avi knows what he's doing, and he wants other scientists to dismiss him in public, so he gets an audience. However, there is a chance he could be underestimating that audience, or at least part of it. Finding a new type of come

It's kind of a stretch. To a more naive, metaphor-blind audience, your mention of Don't Look Up makes it look like the scientists are warning about an alien comet and I'm the one ignoring it. I'm very familiar with apo
