Yeah, I don't get it either. Deploy a VM that runs an LLM so that I can talk to it via Telegram... I could just talk to it through an app or a web interface. I'm not even trying to be snarky, like what the hell even is the use cas

There are sometimes truly bizarre demands for evidence. I once posted a pure opinion piece -- essentially a moral judgment on what is good and what is bad (in the domain of technical writing) -- and got hit with "source?" Me. I am

I find the downvotes to your comment absurd. The downvoters seem to me what Kaczynski called "oversocialized". They accept being taken against your will because the system says that's how it's supposed to work. And then

This is infuriating. The EU should block US sanctions violating EU interests. I'm also definitely moving my personal stuff out of US and into EU, starting with Gmail.

In an increasing number of regions, yes, but not where AWS data centers are located. People are not dying of thirst because of us-east-1. The one has nothing to do with the other.

Nice. I like it, and will use it. Some ideas: link checker, JSON format verifier, HTTP request translator (curl, Python, etc.), SSH key generator, image resizer, PDF resizer, bootable USB creator.

Do you think a man just happens to call an API without an authorization header? Give me a break. He orchestrated it! Jimmy!

Yeah. The options for lots of leisure are either: a) be homeless, or b) be rich. Those of us inbetween always have to choose and make compromises. In my life, this has forced me to quit on a bunch of things I would have continued otherwise,

Telegram is pretty slow, both the web interface and the Android app. For example, reactions to a message always take a long time to load (both when leaving one, and when looking at one). Just give me emoji, I don't need your animated e

The last part of this article sounds LLM-generated.

It's fiction. You don't go to a classical music concert and dislike/complain that it takes too long to get to the "good" part. The author is taking you for an experience, and if it takes 40 pages of setup, then that

It's true that we treat children like property. In fact, not just children, but anyone who's powerless. I think this is why so much of our fiction revolves around children, their growing-up stories, and how they were mistreated. W

Agreed. She's not actually stating anything. That is, it's so vague that you cannot pinpoint it, it could be interpreted in any way. You cannot make a prediction out of her "observations".

Can you say more about the use case? What problem were you solving? How did it work exactly? Sounds interesting so I'd like to learn more.

Can you say more? What kind of company would so such a thing? Maybe I live in a bubble but that's so far outside of what I've seen that it just sounds fantastical.

As a matter of practicality, it seems that you professionally now want to be firmly in the tails of the data distribution for your field, e.g. expert in those things that happen rarely. Or maybe even be in a domain which, for whatever reaso

In my (albeit limited) experience, there's slack in the workweek, and that slack can provide the required time to do random stuff. I recognize this isn't true in organizations where everything is micromanaged, work time is tracked

I don't like this kind of article. It tends to be very verbose but doesn't really have a point.

An idea I had (not sure if correct) is that many people have a similar amount of "work ethic", but distribute it differently. So, for example, person A can invest nearly 100% into their job and will be perceived to be "extrem

I don't think it's fallacious to appeal to nature. Sure, not all things natural are good for you (deadly viruses etc.). But when you have something that works for millennia, and has been optimized (by evolution) for that specific
