I loved reading: > we sponsor both Vite and TanStack because we believe in where they're going I'd like to see more of this attitude.

Well, the hope was always that those of us inconvenienced by M$ would all collectively contribute to making Linux distros more convenient for everyone. But we can't ever seem to get inconvenienced enough to actually sufficiently mobili

Wait, what?! I was sure that the agenda of Big Tinfoil was to generate FUD so that we buy more tinfoil for our hats. Are you implying their agenda goes even deeper?

Is that actually well defined given the very low sample size at the top? To the best of my knowledge, none of the individuals believed to have an IQ >200 have committed an actual crime . The closest I found is William James Sidis'

I think the idea is interesting and would like to read a plain English write-up about it by a human.

I really wouldn't be surprised if that is indeed the goal defined for that workflow's design.

Well, if they did, it would probably be shooting themselves in the foot, seeing that the Claude Code source is out there now, and people are waiting for an excuse to "clean-room" reimplement and fork it

It's not really round, it's just a lens aberration.

Next, let's have the agents write the actual bills. I don't imagine it'll be worse than the current people in charge.

These seem to be the main relevant insights from the "Adults' Media Lives" report [0] (and they are backed with some good quotes from the participants): > Participants claimed to be streaming more and viewing less linear T

I'm not looking to defend Israel's actions or to take a political stance here, but just wanted to ask about the proportionality/fairness argument - to the best of my knowledge, a proportionality between casualties on the two

Well yes, but this is research - it progresses gradually and incrementally until eventually it is ready to be deployed. I for one am really interested in following these progress updates, rather than just being surprised when it finally dro

What are you on about? Is this about how when people use an English term in a particular way, then their listeners/readers begin to use it too? If so, yes, it's a self reinforcing mechanism called lexical dissemination, and I&#x27

The whole thing is that we have proofs that this is possible, and have been seeing continuous engineering progress. Having followed this for awhile, it seems to me that saying quantum computing is "still impossible" at this stage

Ah, well, that is an issue, but not one that I'm laughing about. This is the natural outcome of the Citizens United decision.

What exactly is the joke? These individuals have a lot of interests in play that might not coincide with those of the US public, but it seems to me that they are all very experienced and knowledgeable. > The following individuals have be

Well, obviously if we have a better prior, then that's better. But assuming no other knowledge, and especially if we think that other people's priors could be intentionally misleading, this rule seems to offer the best estimate.

I don't know if this is what the GP meant, but obviously classrooms do scale, in the sense that almost every kid in the world has access to a classroom. But arguably, for better or worse, this scaling was enabled by "cramming&quot

I'm very embarrassed to say that with the amount of tech books I already bought and haven't read, I'm starting to think that it might be a good investment for me to hire someone to read them for me.

I agree in principle, but this is a press release, and I personally am finding AI-assisted marketing copy to be much nicer and easier to read than human copywriter-written ones.

Is there anything actually bad with that writing (other than implying that theirs is the first system to solve this)? AI has been rlhf post-trained to generate text that people find to be clear to read. Are you now looking to reject clear w

I don't get what semantic value you're getting by pasting this. It's almost like saying "VC-funded tech = bad", which is an ironic stance to take on this platform. Is there anything that bitwarden did that is actual

We generally consider it a good thing that written falsehoods can be amended to instead say the truth. That's what we do with book errata and editions too. The bigger issue is the attempt to rewrite history as if the falsehood was neve

That really depends, but the quick answer is that according to our human social contract, we'd just ask "how many can I take?". Until now, the only real tool to limit scrapers has been throttling, but I don't see any rea
