Yeah, I once managed to foolishly induce this while taking too much aspirin over a too long period to deal with tooth pain. I'll never forget the sensation: out of nowhere it sounded like someone was crinkling paper inside my head for

I'm really struggling to think of what "Alep" even refers to that would trigger this. Surely not Aleppo, right?

I've had experience lately of getting GPT4 to output some code, I notice there's a bug, I point out the bug (not even 'it's at this line with this variable', but just that it exists) and, yes, it does fix successful

It is, though now how you'd expect. OpenAI have a tool that lets you see how text is tokenized: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer This only has GPT3 for now, but I imagine results are similar. "xxxxxxxxxEGGxxx

It's fairly trivial to define. You know all those things that you don't like? The bad things, that all the stupid people do without thinking, unlike you? That's post-modernist neo-marxist ideology.

This makes a lot of economic sense, despite the howling from the socialist mob. 14 year olds' natural agility and nimbleness are assets in meat packing and construction, where they are able to retrieve stray pieces of meat or lost tool

I suppose that every successful parse also has an implicit validation step in it. Like you said, for me the principle is more about embedding that validation step into an actual type rather than crossing my fingers and hoping that whatever&

To be fair, I'm a human (I think) and I would also tell you off about hate speech if you asked me for a regex.

I would give up my neural lace for a well made Culture adaptation, but I do worry that any adaption wouldn't do much justice to the politics in the book except in the most shallow way possible. Still, though, a dose of utopianism would

Given the settlement and Rollo, I loved finding out that 'Norman' more or less is from 'Northman'. Fun little "ohhh" moment.

Where's the line when it constitutes 'undoing natural selection'? Resurrecting extinct animals? Conservation efforts? Taking antibiotics?

Ah, gotcha! Even then, I've found i've gotten a pretty decent distance with docker-compose before k8s sounds like an attractive (or least bad) proposition

> if you want to Dockerize it, then Docker related stuff is required i.e. Kubernetes Yeah... I'm not surprised the author gave up on it, but you absolutely do not need to use k8s if you're dockerizing something like a blog. I&#

I feel like this is probably on the money, at least when it comes to building a startup. I often use Rust where before I would use Go/NodeJS/Python, but mostly because I like the type system and velocity on side-projects isn'

I've also enjoyed using nixpkg's dockerTools for this kind of thing too.

It is not. I also remember this behavior around forking private repos from before the acquisition. But then again, this doesn't lend itself to a conveniently pithy comment about Microsoft ruining everything.

I do remember the narrative around the economic outcome from it shifting considerably. Anecdotally, I remember seeing in real time the shift among family/acquaintances of the economic impact being a fake project fear mirage to a price

SQL injection to drop tables: boring, from the 1980s, only grandads know how to do this. Socially engineering an LLM-hallucinated api to convince it to drop tables: now you're cookin', baby

Generally, minimum wages are lower for tipped professions than non-tipped for this reason. Assuming you're talking about Seattle, which is the only place I could find with an $18.69/hr minimum wage, tipped employees make $16.50 in

I find that using gaps (not big ones, 5-10 pixels at most) helps me differentiate between similar windows (like terminals) much easier. And, also, I just looks more elegant imho.
