I started doing it months ago and, to be honest, what the agent chooses to do isn’t unpredictable. The problem is that different people prompt so differently. For example, I may ask like “test different variations of this annotation on k8s

I believe the Escape Hybrid actually sold really well and was in high demand, but they actually ran into supply chain issues. The F-150 Lightning I think was too early for its time... an electric truck doesn't work unless it's mos

Ford is probably going to do it. They’re never the first but they consistently bring new major shifts in cars to the working class, without making some major compromises to the car (BYD) or being expensive (Tesla). They: - Brought affordabl

I think evil is an an artificial and subjective construct and therefore intelligence will somehow do something “evil” by someone’s or something’s standard. But at the same time, I think it is an important construct because it prevents gr

Very few commercial and industrial products use a Pi though. Pi - 73 million sold ESP32 - 1 billion sold STM32 - 13 billion sold For every 1 Pi sold, there’s almost 200 STM32s sold.

No there are topics that are not important enough to bring up (yet) so they don’t warrant their own meeting, so you need a soft place to bring them up with low expectations. A 1:1 is like asking to get lunch with someone — you don’t have an

I just don’t think your opinion is shared by most people. Gmail is the most popular email service in the world, people are always telling me how they prefer Google Docs over everything else and their only competition is Microsoft. Yes it’s

I have standup every day so my manager knows what I am doing so my 1:1s are: - General sentiment about problems with the team and company that bother me but that I don’t have a solution to yet or decided how to bring it up with the team. -

Agree with this too. OpenCV is functionality great but its constituent parts are written by many different people who all kind of do things a little differently and it shows. But I can’t really complain because it’s open source and added to

But supposedly they’re the cheapest for certain workloads, especially ones that have high tokens and can make use of caching. So they’re cutting edge in that way.

Right, but the limiting factor is not actually that it’s expensive. The limiting factor is historical: Brazilians just don’t think of playing baseball already. Which leads back to the point: Americans just don’t really think about playing s

Cuz the actual nuanced reality is that it’s structural. (Most) corporations don’t want to control the world but they do have their own self-interests, but because there are so many corporations there’s always some corporation controlling so

Lol it’s the same with the sports in America. People love gambling on sports no matter what country they live in.

You just need a bat and ball? My friends use a plastic bat balls and find a grassy field. Soccer balls are actually more expensive. Basketball is growing in Brazil a lot and that’s kind of expensive. Skateboarding has become massive in Br

I mean you could say that baseball academies in Brazil aren’t good yet either, but I wouldn’t say that it’s because they “don’t know how to.” It’s just that Brazil currently doesn’t care about baseball that much and baseball first has to be

The US has also strangely invented a lot of sports (Americans football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, lacrosse, skateboarding, snowboarding, and so on). Soccer has major competition in the US. Because these sports started in America too

I don’t it’s the imperfections that are being chased. Most people don’t pay attention to technical details like that. Instead it’s about chasing the era. For example, the 80s/90s seemed like a happier time, for both those who grew up i

Laws and rules don’t hold anyone accountable. Anyone can say anything and then break that trust the next second. Instead you trust your best friend because you have known them for 15 years and seen them in enough situations. It’s long ter

The Soviet Union was an economic disaster for a long time. During the space race, which was ultimately a fight about economic systems, NASA’s budget was 0.7% of the US GDP but the Soviet Union was spending up to 15-20% of their GDP to “keep

That’s like saying the free pizza parties are draining the company’s resources and so we need to cut them. The pizza parties ARE indeed draining the company, but it’s so minor and ultimately spending your big brain on cutting pizza parties

The closest IKEA equivalent is the IVAR. Between IVAR and now this 606, I actually don’t know any other non-garage-oriented “universal” shelving systems where you can like mix and match drawers, shelves, tables, etc. I have IVAR in my offic

Those problems are endemic to all web apps. e.g. You can’t just provide software to people that obtains TLS certs on their behalf: you have no idea how their infra is setup. Hosting any app on your own infra is a serious skill set.

I print documents and photos at home regularly but I still contract out to dedicated print shops. The print shop can’t replicate the practicality of local printing and I can’t replicate their scale of investment. Both coexist perfectly.

Trying to figure out the best way to solve vague requirements is why I got into engineering. If I got detailed specs, I’d just be a coding robot. I push that work off onto juniors.

You can now buy 128 GB unified memory computers from AMD as commodity. They’re still pricey, the world is still scaling up memory production, and a lot of code isn’t yet built for AMD, but we went from the Wright’s brothers first airplane t
