Metaprogramming Ruby by Paolo Perrotta is an awesome in-depth resource in comparison. It’s a bit outdated but the base of metaprogramming magic in Ruby hasn’t changed much in 3.0+

I was really excited to try this out in a EAP release a while ago… and I found nearly no use for it. The auto scaffolded commit messages seemed like a cool application: they were overly wordy and missed the point of a commit message entirel

I actually like the ideas they have here! It feels inspired by the best parts of macOS, Windows, and tiling window managers, while actually being pretty novel IMO. However, I actually like the "overlapping sheets on a desktop" met

This is great! I actually needed something like this right now. I’m looking for a new job and a lot of the posts available are in-office, so being able to set some boundaries on commute time is exactly what I need to do. Thanks for includin

Well that's good I guess. Just saying it would be nice for the external things I'm familiar with.

If you're using Safari, ironically there's a JS syntax error preventing the site from redirecting from a picture of a spaceship to the actual book. https://sourceacademy.org/sicpjs/index is the URL you get re

I'm curious to see how empowered the LLM customer service of the future is. Are they going to be allowed to process refunds? People will find out how to convince the LLM you do meet the requirements for a refund. And if you check the r

Their example here is really weak overall IMO. Like more than just that typo. You also probably wouldn’t want a “name” string field anyway. Like there’s nothing stoping you from receiving { name: “the brown one”, size:

Conversational data between human beings is exactly the sort of tokens you’d want to train a massive in-house LLM on. Then you could have embeddings for the local stuff on-device, and still call it “private” models. The magic data dust is o

I don’t think it’s possible for a company as big as Apple to act solely on principle. We’re just lucky the profit motive aligned with consumer privacy for once. Untainted (without ML-generated content) human communication is becoming more a

I do like how Apple has backed themselves into a consumer-protecting hole here. I’m sure they would love to have access to that much conversational data themselves, of which no other company has access to. If Siri ever improves too signific

Sorry for the marketing blog post. This is all I could find, and it’s mixed into some rebranding. Got an email to try out “communities” with a single button which brought me to a sign up form, with zero information about what it was. Any at

Yeah of course, there’s advertising. There’s also advertising for cigarettes. Stunningly false is a bit strong. What I mean is: no one thinks consuming alcohol is good for them. At worst they might think it’s health-neutral in the amount th

The major limiting factor for me getting something done is facing a massive list, or worse, an empty list with a massive project as the title. “Get new job - 0 subtasks”. I begrudgingly stick with OmniFocus because it’s extremely effective

There’s a pretty big gap between alcohol which we highly regulate and keep away from minors due to the pretty obvious harm, and aspartame which is pretty commonly cited as the “most studied food additive”. [0] One is really clearly signalle
