Cremations can be wildly variable depending on who you pick. My uncle and father both died within about a year of one another and the prices were all over. We were able to have my uncle cremated for around $800 (Las Vegas, NV) by going dire

Maybe I’m behind the curve here because I work in an SRE/DevOps context as of late - but LLMs routinely shit the bed and fail to solve basic issue for me when I try to use them (Thanks, Management) I don’t need a model to shit out a RE

Oftentimes discussions get killed not because the source article is bad but because the discussions themselves devolve into flame bait/war?

Why should we be surprised? The “Conservatives” never actually conserved a thing.

If the existing at-risk functionality is a security issue I feel like that’s a good time to throw the proverbial flag on the play and make it an issue. Letting consumers play host to malware and phishing portals is the worse move.

In my area (South Carolina) - the opposition seems hyper fixated on “water use” with little or no conversation around electrical usage or even equitable utility rates. AI itself largely absent from the discourse.

Why would liquor be absorbed faster than beer given the same route (drinking)?

That definitely killed my own desire to engage. Stoped blogging, most open source, and given up on StackOverflow, sadly.

Do sharks have a history of attacking small vessels? I’ve had dolphins mess with my kayak over the years so I can believe it.

If you read Mark and the entirety of New Testament in good faith you would know the answer :) It’s your actions and not your culinary habits. If you chose to fornicate you’re sinning. Nothing in the New Testament reneges on that. Intentiona

You are correct it neither endorses nor denigrates the specific practice. So why then do we have a church hosting the performances? It’s not relevant to the faith at all? Identity politics entered the chat, unfortunately. Which leads back t

I get this all the time at work because I am bearish on “AI” - except I try it with the models available and they all fall down similarly. Perhaps go try it with your model de jure and report back?

You’re free to believe whatever it is you like - that’s your belief system. I didn’t intend to start a theological debate ultimately. Only highlight as a counterpoint to the GP that going to church in the modern era really feels like you ha

Well, that’s quite a bit of baggage to unpack. In regards to “miscegenation” we have Galatians which largely renders that point moot, highlighting everyone’s love of cherry-picking scripture. In regards to homosexuality, you have Leviticus,

I can love you and still disagree with the things you do and not endorse them. These are not in conflict.

Ah - the closest thing I’ve heard of is the “pine straw” scam. Some landscapers firm pulls up to a cut-de-sac and tells a homeowner they have 20-30 bales of pine straw from a big job and asks if they’d like their beds re-done at a reduced b

What church(es) are you thinking of here exactly? I’ve never heard of any such group in my entire independent Southern Baptist life. On the contrary, most folks in the 20-40 range are tired of “cafeteria Christian” denominations that pick a

I live along the coast. They’ll routinely go supersonic too near to shore and violate their own standards. Nothing ever comes of it. Just part of life.

I’ve long seen this class of conversation on HN and my answer is always the same: introduce a higher burden of proof, maybe even “no doubt,” for capital punishment. Imagine a scenario where the Pulse nightclub shooter surrendered to police

Perhaps interesting, my Publix experiences are almost always… not great. The staff seems aged (don’t hate me, I’m also aged!) - but they seem more on the apathetic and miserable side of the spectrum. I always heard how well they treat their

You provide different handling strategies for different currencies. You also sort currency data alongside your amount. There is nothing complicated or edge-case here. This works for USD, JPY or $MEMECOIN and it scales very well.

You store the sums on either end, the currencies, the exchange rate and the final sum? No one has .0000145 cents in their account. Rounding occurs in the real world.

What common commuter vehicle do you imagine here exactly? I’m riding 2.5 Ton full-frame SUV and struggle to see anything much more than a solid 3-ton vehicle.
