Do it, it's a beautiful work of art.

To me, the ee-oo sound feels more like a Y in my mouth. However if I really draw out the word slowly it feels like ee-oo. But in practice it feels like Y.

I feel like dozens of sites constantly nag me about this. The best ones at least save a cookie to note I'm not interested, such as GitHub.

When one person does it, the FBI is called. When an AI lab does it, it's cute?

Making these kinds of AI projects with fancy READMEs give you a veneer of authority, but the lack of earned wisdom tends to stick out once a few people glance at it.

If LWN isn't your exact thing, consider donating to a project you get outsized value from. For me it's neovim, for you it might be something else!

When it comes to UX, perceived latency is king.

While I have a CS degree from a good university, I think I see things differently than the author here. I think CS degrees are great overviews of the field and give you 4 years to practice programming basics without needing to worry about y

Where are you getting a steak and potato for 2 for less than a bag of Doritos? Is it a 50 lb bag of Doritos?

Yeah, there's no mandate for government agencies to use login.gov AFAIK, so they can either go with login.gov or buy the private id.me solution. In general it's not a slamdunk to get agencies to cooperate and use their services, i

Reading it is good, but working with it more directly seems to help retention.

You seem to be massively exaggerating here for effect. I think the main point is, if you're building frontend web apps, you should probably know how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript interact to some decently high level. Can you look stuff up

Don't really have the context, but I'd trust the expert that it will get done on the schedule they want. I'd say people on the outside of things often ask these kinds of questions due to lacking any context on production sche

God forbid someone see their kids after work. Won't someone think of the potential profits in performatively staying late at work?

I guess if you have nothing else to live for except your job, you'd be really psyched to keep dumping more hours into it...

I think things like CI, linters, hooks, etc started as defense against humans eventually ignoring it (low blood sugar, under pressure, never cared in the first place, etc). These seem like they would naturally extend to LLMs as well. (I&#x2

Unfortunately, I don't think AI companies will opt to throttle onboarding new users via a licensing/training system.

Sure, but it's easy to accidentally start up the agent in the wrong directory, like when you open a new terminal. I've done it before when I was distracted (albeit with Claude, not Grok).

Is Fable/Mythos a new generation then?

by dbalatero 3mo ago
That's good to know, but I think maybe the bulk of the original point is still concentrated in the "we always need new models to stay relevant" piece.

> Of course, this was a hugely poor read of where the costs actually lie in AI. Training - while no doubt capex intensive - is a fixed, up-front cost. You spend hundreds of millions to train a model, then you are "done". I don&

I type the emdash a lot myself; how do you know the author doesn't as well? The copy is simple and readable so even if it is AI, who cares?

I just ignore people that can't coherently talk about the pros and cons of Vim.

I suspect that while they prefer you to give up all your data, what's even more likely is they are moving fast and breaking things at a rate unseen before, and not enough conversation is happening in design phases where someone can fla
