Put it in $ProgramData for system-wide usage or whatever the user version is for individuals. A hidden file is exactly what I said initially - a daft local decoration. Instead of using a stream, this one uses an attribute instead. Put your

"paradigm shift" A paradigm shift is an earth shattering, very important change - a complete change in thinking etc. LLMs are not that. They are simply some pretty new tools. Nice tools but they will whip off your metaphorical

"... iterating with the agent till the code is the exact same quality that you yourself would write" I don't want my code quality, I want AGI code quality - that's what I was promised and jetpacks and flying cars too!

The flag is unadorned and I think you can extend your interpretation to include the proliferation of flags which have a minimal "history". Banksy is from Bris'l which is sort of north Somerset (Somerset keeps on morphing fast

If you write a decent covering letter and enclose a CV (resume) and get it to my desk, I might be inclined to be interested in you. That's how things used to be done. Recruiters did exist but you generally got off your arse and impres

I have several 48 port 10G copper switches in my computer room with 40G uplinks. Dell OS9 jobbies. They are a bit noisy, but they don't actually run that hot. I also have some HPE 1G 48 porters and they run roughly the same temperat

I still have an original cardboard strip with the function key codes on it somewhere. Ctrl-F9 ... font (I think, it was rather a long time ago).

No idea why you were dv'd. It still takes roughly nine months to make a human baby, regardless of how many women or babies are involved!

Standards such as G.711 and co don't "enforce" a latency because they can't. Latency is a property of the network, not the traffic. You cannot use terms such as "PCMU and PCMA voice frames are 20ms or 40ms" be

"How much did a phone call cost per minute from UK to Australia in the 70's and 80's ?" I think around £5 per minute or more. A quick search found this: https://www.austehc.unimelb.edu.au/tia/576_ima

Are you sure that x is an ecks and not a chi that straightened up a bit? The thing about script and type is they only really work by prior agreement. There is a set of marks on the page that we all agree on "is" an axolotl. How w

When I were a nipper lag/latency over 30ms was considered a bit crap for voice unless satellite links were involved. That's for circuit switched networks. Human conversation works best with a sub 25ms latency and you will start

Hmmm. Property purchase agreements are rather different in your neck of the woods than mine! Here (UK) we do have a bit of variety, thanks to devolution and bloody mindedness. I'm talking about English here (possibly Welsh too), rath

"Gas" prices are hiking up here - its about £1.90 per litre of diesel at the moment and petrol isn't much less. In contrast, my cheaper 'leccy rate is now about 25% less at 5.2p per kWh than it was. Electricity is weird

When I was a lad, 30ms was considered the worst latency allowable for telephony unless you were dealing with satellite links, in which case you taught people to use a simple variety of radio protocol (over). Nowadays with all our fancy crap

Quite. My larger drill driver will wrench your wrist unless you know how to set the speed/mode/etc correctly and know how to brace yourself correctly. At the moment, I think that a LLM needs skilled hands too. Have a casual chat

You could look at your denigrators and decide: "fuck you". Internet points are strangely attractive but not vital. You can always post with another account with a bit of effort too. I understand that you are pissed off (as am I
