Too harsh. Trump was president once before, and didn't impose 150% tariffs on anybody. You don't have to be a fucking moron to assume he'll behave similarly in his second presidency. Trump says a LOT of things that he doesn&#

From the Patreon FAQ: > Can I opt out of the App Store Fee? > For U.S. fans, there’s still a way to avoid Apple’s fee. When signing up in the iOS app, they can choose web checkout instead of Apple’s in-app purchase system. Apple’s rul

It reminds me of when I worked at an ag tech startup for a few years. We visited farms up and down the central valley of California, and the general tone toward Silicon Valley is an intense dislike of overconfident 20-somethings with a prot

You're not the first to have the idea. For languages that are only sparsely represented in the LLMs' training data, this has actually done a lot of damage. The LLMs spew out a bunch of hallucinations, and there aren't enough

The .edu constraint also played perfectly to the most important requirement of a new social network: Your parents must not have accounts there.

I'll take that bet. Banks get bailed out because if confidence in the banking system disappears and everyone tries to withdraw their money at once, the whole economy seizes up. And whoever is Treasury Secretary (usually an ex Wall Stre

Wouldn't tsvector, tsquery, ts_rank, etc. be Postgres's "poor man's search" solution? With language-aware stemming they don't need to be as aggressive with writing to indexes as you describe Biscuit above. But

The user's last prompt can be sent with an idempotency key that changes each time the user initiates a new request. If that's the same, use the cache. If it's new, hit the LLM again.

Weird take. The id field in the SSE spec is there specifically so you can resume a stream. And that requires persistence/caching on the server side. Once you have those things, you're practically at the pubsub option that the arti

Neither are the Zigtools folks. If you've ever run an open source project, you know that instead of running on money, they run on community goodwill. Having people take the project's creation, claim it as their own, and not comply

A restriction on government (as the First Amendment language is phrased) is not the same thing as an individual right. There are plenty of cases where a restriction is in the law, but only a very limited set of entities has standing to sue

Not sure exactly what the parent comment intended, but it does seem to me that it's harder for an LLM to undergo a paradigm shift than for humans. If some new scientific result disproves something that's been stated in a whole bun

The problem is more about regulatory capture. An industry adapts to a regulation, and creates winners and losers. Once the regulation no longer makes sense (costs taxpayers/consumers more than it benefits), those who are winning from i
