It's barely adjacent but once I worked with a bankruptcy where I learned that firms that design and sell houses commonly work as a front that basically take input from the customer, sketch it out and then just hand it over to some busi

Didn't know I could do that, I assumed it wouldn't be permitted. This likely tripled the amount of stars I have.

As it happens, natural language is "ill defined". This is an important piece of the argument for teleological justice, where the law is framed and interpreted according to the intent of the sovereign rather than some linguistic li

It was one of the things Ylva Johansson infamously said about it, Microsoft and Apple are already doing it so what's the big deal? Makes me think about this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjhsLq3-ZWE

"I am mystified by how rapidly Sora went from launch to shutdown" I suspect they promised synthetic movies but it quickly became clear that they were never going to be able to deliver on this. Slick fifteen second lulz-clips, sure

I'm not into the low level minutiae but on large code bases I sometimes see a lag on the first rg:s I run and then it's fast, which I attribute to some OS level caching stuff. Perhaps they run their software on operating or file s

Looks like I can wrap my head around it, thanks.

I'll make a note of this, thanks.

If I were to engage in Python development, what's the alternative to uv?

Thanks for sharing. The demo linked below looked pretty cool, I think this might be a nice complement to Glamorous Toolkit in some of my personal and work flows.

Notes isn't exactly dead. A couple of years ago I helped a swedish county extract social services data from a system built on it, which is still in use by quite a few other counties. Among other things I wrote a batch converter from th

Who are "we", and why would I care about them here? There are situations where approximations are good enough for simulations, sure, but that's not the subject here. I reject the idea that chatbots have feelings or intellect

Are these things that no one previously built and published, so you can go and take a look at their implementation?

If you actually have a way to fully, without reductions, simulate matter, that's probably a Nobel prize coming your way. The common scientific understanding is that this is not possible, at least not without extreme amounts of energy a

I don't think so, but the pain points have become more widely known and taken the edge off the hype.

If that's your thing, maybe complement with Augustine's Confessions. He had a somewhat complicated relation to stoicism but was one of the most important patristic writers to make use of stoic ideas. It's a document that deta

"I didn't say the book knows things, but everyone can agree that books has knowledge in them." I disagree with this. I also disagree that civilisations are knowing, since they are historical fictions. It's like saying th

The belief that there is no fundamental difference between mammals navigating fractal dimensions and imprisoned electrons humming in logic gates has to be considered a religious one.

by cess11 7mo ago
The claim that books know things seems suspicious to me. I consider the act of knowing to be embodied, it is something a person has learned to do and has control over. Is that how you approach PDF files? Do you feel it in your bones that th

I'm not so sure he is grifting, do you have any clips where he slips and shows himself to be knowledgeable of his society and its history? I have a similar view of Musk, Thiel and Karp, and some others I can't be bothered to remin

Sure, the US is weird as it is a one-party state that constitutionally and supposedly is fundamentally liberalist, which has the effect that the only viable collective politics becomes fascist or fascism adjacent. Hence the insistence on hi

One might consider it the magnum opus of Thomas Hobbes, a pioneering political thinker who had a massive influence on both conservatism and liberalism. For conservatives his arguments on human nature that conclude that we are inherently bru

Yeah, same, but Elixir gigs aren't as common as Java gigs. However, if one ends up in a Java role, chances are that Elixir would be a good porting target for the systems since it typically can replicate the architecture but with less f

Mill looks kind of nice on the surface but I haven't seen it in action in any serious project. I suspect the flexible DSL might come with a maintenance burden. XML is nice, if your pom.xml is massive, just suck it in through JAXB and p

Not really, no. It is similar but worse than Maven in that it requires quite a bit of time investment to configure, and shares the drawback of Gradle that it is configured in a programming language instead of a configuration language. Switc

With all the LLM bots they need a new way to sort out the people from the machines to not lose ad revenue and to help their spook friends. It's better for them if this "responsibility" rests with another organisation, they do

If someone reads this and wonders what JBoss is, the contemporary variety is called WildFly and it is actually rather easy to install and play around with. https://www.wildfly.org/ I think this is an often overlooked soluti

One of the main reasons I like vim is that it enables me to navigate code very fast, that the edits are also quick when I've decided on them is a nice convenience but not particularly important. Same goes for the terminal, I like that
