I can vouch. Have one at home and use their map as my go to for understanding air quality. I haven’t had time to play with it yet, but they have an API for the Home Assistant types out there.

Ostracism is how we (humans) enforce social norms. In this case the community is ostracizing a company known for grifting under a facade of technological advancement. Seems like the system is working.

This unfortunately has happened more than once in NM. The Cerro Grande fire started in similar circumstances and almost burned down LANL. IIRC they actually had to temporarily displace the radioactive glass from the original Trinity tests a

“R.I.P Good Times” might work for this particular community too.

+1 for both HKSV and Ubiquiti. Used to use HKSV, but I’m running a Unifi Protect setup these days. Everything records locally to my NVR with a 30 day retention policy. No cloud. Honestly it’s been more reliable too. Downside is I spend a de

Sarbanes-Oxley would seem to imply that it’s possible to enact new laws that enforce consequences for fraud among top level executives? In theory at least I guess. Maybe someone else can comment on how it actually works in practice.

My first big tech manager was incredible at this. Took me a few other managers to realize what a specific (and rare!) skill this is, as she made it seem so easy. I miss working for her.

It's a little old at this point, but I find the Swift Error Handling Rationale design doc to be absolutely fascinating. It cites other language’s error handling paradigms (including Rust) if you're curious: https://app

Yeah it might sound ridiculous but I do this too… I wrapped the GPT-3 API in a stupid little CLI the other day, just to poke a davinci w/o having to go the browser. I like it.

I find the focus on children’s books to be a little sick. Educating the next generation is not an area to content farm for profit with minimal effort. I’m honestly curious. What do you see in this worth promoting? Generating low effort (“i

What a fantastic comment. Really highlights what a good job KSP does teaching orbital dynamics through practice and RUDs (imo).

Yeah that actually makes a ton of sense. I almost added a flippant addendum to my post along the lines of “unless you’re running 1000 orchestral VSTs at once”. And sure enough, that is a real workflow! Thanks for the knowledge.

Yeah but what music production workflow needs the power of an “extreme” chip? The M1 Max and Pro (not to mention Ultra) are already practically overkill for the vast majority of musical workflows. Many producers work on plain M1 Airs as wh

Something to think about btw: a lot of big companies have a _ton_ of proprietary, internal complexity that is not exposed to the public and therefore cannot be assisted by these general purpose LLM’s. Seems a bit strange but being a “Compa

I unfortunately agree with the sentiment, and agree it’s quite scary if this is how you bring food home and don’t already have enough (what is enough?) experience. Fwiw I’m facing this in a hobby where I very much am a “junior”. Currently t

Treat ChatGPT like an extremely knowledgeable junior who has read everything on the internet, but simultaneously doesn’t really understand logic. You can leverage this for your own productivity. Ask your “junior” to generate sample code fo

Worth noting that the unified memory is shared with the GPU on AS. Beyond that though, 64gb+ of RAM makes for a great dev machine. :)

Sounds very similar to usage of “da kine” in Hawaiian Creole English (i.e Hawaiian pidgin).

Fun fact: Lightning and thunder are very rare in Hawaii despite (generally) a tremendous amount of storm activity (rain).

In the context of existing music theory that supermode could be considered Eb/Cm. I’ve been learning a couple pop songs lately that essentially seem to use this supermode by switching between the major and minor on verse/chorus.

Oh wow cool niche question! Keeping complexity down is going to be the main issue (isn’t it always). Music software can get very complex unfortunately. Is your daughter set on doing this “in the box” (on computer)? My first thought is that

Quite possibly. Skydiver culture calls for an in-depth, postmortem analysis on basically any incident. So theoretically it’s more than just dumb luck. But that’s exactly what a control freak would say ;)

I have a very similar crisis reaction. Acute crisis bring out the best in me. Unfortunately conversely, long slow simmering ones without agency break me over time. Anectdote: I was very into “extreme” sports as a kid and into adulthood. I e

The “Internet scale” input-to-profit function is most certainly not linear. Introducing linear cost centers would cut into the profit margins that essentially define “Big Tech” these days. Yeah Apple retail and the Genius Bar in particular
