> Total Cost: $5592.66 This is highly misleading since it doesn't include $ value of all the freq flyer miles used (as far as i can tell). And I'm left wondering was it really cheaper? If yes, by how much?

Rather than a one-month focused effort, i think this should be an ongoing practice, much like security

They are prohibitively expensive to train from scratch but one does not need to train them from scratch any more as long as there is a base training (these are available). With improvements like LoRA, it's possible to do fine-tuning an

Yes there is usually a "employee cost" associated with health insurance although the employer usually pays a bigger portion of the total cost

Rob Walling says (paraphrasing): "the goal of validation is not to get to 100%. That's not really possible. The point is to reduce uncertainty/risk. You can maybe get to 50-60% at most. The more you do to validate, the bette

Extending Python is a great idea but existing libraries will not benefit automatically. They need to be rewritten since all the benefits come from the new syntax. Because of this, bolting it onto Python seems more like a marketing ploy. Hop

Building is a great way to learn for sure but exact cloning gets boring for me. I always end up needing to introduce some kind of twist to the original idea to keep the project interesting beyond a certain point

It certainly helps with learning. It is much more effective at it than googling, especially for topics one is not very familiar with

The "call to arms" is great but doesn't really offer any ideas. There are alternatives already and if they are not getting enough use, there must be reasons. What are they? I don't enjoy this in PRs either. Someone says

I don't know what kind of net positive legalizing this shit provides to society but the fact that I have to smell it everywhere I go is a net negative for me. Can't they make a better smelling or no-smell option? I hear the stink

I agree, Google has deteriorated so much. It just points to either doc pages and leaves all the work up to you or you get a (often outdated from 2011) pages from Stack overflow. I need to do all the filtering and stitching. I tend to get be

When I had mentioned these issues to friends years ago when touchscreens were just starting to come out, I was criticized as being stuck in my old ways. I'm glad people are finally catching on. :)))
