Emacs supports a "projects" concept: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Pr... This is useful for segregating groups of work related to a set of files but I would be

from the "assume ignorance before maliciousness" standpoint, a lot of the impression you speak of is just a fact of us humans reporting on the (perceived) more critical news, (perhaps also maybe the more profitable news) - but is

What I want is a "content condensor" tool. Something OSS and mathematically pure that can just take all the signal, drop the noise, and run some NLP to "condense" the information for me to effectively wade through it. Ye

Cattle and pets both exist. You want cattle? Make cattle. You want pets? Make pets. Why the absolution?

Maybe it should though, given we have the power to do so (at least, with just a lil more power)

I agree. I think a lot of fake-meat options are trying really hard to produce the meat flavour that they end up actually making food that doesn't taste super great, but tastes somewhat close to meat... what I would prefer is food that

The more I read about ML, the more I begin to believe that - psychologically speaking - hierarchy (esp. graph structures, trees) are absolutely core to advanced information processing in general.

The article says he wanted the gates to be configurable. But yeah, seems like a missed opportunity to not familiarize with the 74 series. That having been said, the AVR chips are probably a lot more useful to learn as a newbie these days. N

Everything is time series analyzable, so long as you wait long enough ;)

I love when you guys do that. Then when I'm hacking around w/ your machine, I can get ahold of those spare pads :)

Thank you for the book recommendation!

Yes, as others have stated this is an old technology. I don't really understand why this is not more common in the modern day. it's not really that expensive to implement and they did it with analog chips back in the day... Why do

This exactly. There's an old-school method called Zettelkasten, which you can apply to modern computing systems like Org Roam or similar "databases" if you so choose.

More succinctly stated as "Only the Sith deal in absolutes."

Furthermore, when people are held responsible for quality completion of a task, they are often more driven to achieve the task at-quality. This must be balanced with not over-taxing them, but that's a given.

You're describing the (albeit quite common) situation where requirements were not conclusive enough and need to be revised throughout lifetime of development, which can be natural as you begin to understand the problem space as you wor

by firewolf34 3y ago
Requirements set constraints which guide the development process. Without them set early on, you risk not understanding completely what you're setting out to do, you risk differing expectations/assumptions between members of your

In Shute Norway's autobiography, Slide Rule , he describes the design and construction of the [R100]( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R100 ), an airship of which he was one of the leading engineers. The R100 design

Clearly, the letters are badly designed. Latin writing system was not invented with coding in mind. Perhaps we can design a new character system script specifically designed for ease of programming! I say we use Aurebesh. :)

Now we just have to apply that concept to the watering-down which occurs when they try to take white-papers and disseminate them to the public through news articles and etc. It is important for the public to learn - and they will need assis

People love their absolutes. Makes it easy to understand complex topics by breaking them down into "rules of thumb", and in the case of "sugar is poison" has double-reinforcement via a emotional element.

Update: Paddle support got back to me in 24-hours and their emailed link cancelled the payment and put me in touch with an AI that instantly resolved the situation and knew what I was talking about. I was impressed.

Paddle literally just nabbed me for a $40 subscription for another app just a few days ago. I am attempting to get it cancelled through their support, I never even got an email warning me of it at all. If they don't agree to cancel, co

So you've realized that one side of the extreme is irrational because it's extremely over-positive, and decided you'd just jump on the other side of the irrational extreme over-negative to be contrary? Saying AI will save the

The modern development of AI can be likened to the earlier development of the atom bomb. Everyone thinks it will destroy the world because technically it has the potential to do so and everyone's a pessimist on average. But it'll

I don't think that trying to shoehorn LLM into being AGI is the right path. Maybe some are trying to achieve this, or are hoping for this... but IMO this is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. It's definitely an element

Y'all remember when back in the 2000's there was so many IM apps that people made tools like Meebo to organize them all into one messenger utility? Why isn't there just one giant firehose API which merges all the socials into

Finally. I thought I was crazy having to read through so many comments on here before someone mentioned just a simple SFTP to a backup server. FolderSync is the way to go.
