The point here is that he is using chatGPT /LLMs as an assistant - not making a diagnosis or something. He easily could have come up with a similar script from working with another member of hospital staff (maybe a social worker??) bu

This farm is in Harvard MA - e.g the exurbs of Boston. Harvard is one of these communities that has large minimum lot sizes and restrictions on commercial property so it retains its rural feel. It's pretty, possibly not the best use

I have an Ioniq 5 and a PHEV pacifica. I love the ioniq5 and do new england road trips with it for skiing. I only have to hunt for fast charging on these longer trips so it's kind of a fun route planning game. I also love having the

The challenge with running cloud storage is that you have to think around the corners for usage and shape customer behavior with pricing. Seems like google didn't want to do this or was too lazy (sorry). Millions of files will always

I hear lots of folks rant about the term. However, if anyone asked me, I would say that you need to think closely about the word "Debt". Debt powers our economy - from bonds, to Mortgages, to student loans. Debt makes the world

Think about it in terms of erasure encoding where you can have enough shards on enough hosts. That's how you get the durability.

I keep coming back to the fact that these technologies enable people to create simulacrums of high quality content quickly - but that shows because of the obvious short comings as identified by other posters. If I gave myself a week to writ

This post is probably way past the front page. As a dude who had to do the dating scene in his 40s after a divorce - this would have been pretty cool. On the other hand, despite personally having a pretty concerted effort here it's

Not the kind to usually complain about UI but on my android browser there doesn't appear to be a way to bypass the date picker meaning that I have to scroll back in time a month at a time. 576 times to be precise.

My parents aren't too excited about using motorized scooters but have limited mobility due slow pace and/or joint pain. Could be an avenue for letting them be more mobile. EDIT: a Pittsburgh /CMU project! fantastic.

Kind of would like "train gmail on all of my sent emails and generate replies in my own sarcastic / self deprecating style". If the request is from a certain family member make sure you reply with an appropriate level of del

From a fun / teaching / learning point of view - I get it. As others are saying however, the secondary learning that you want is that sometimes a database is the right solution. For example, a student could learn that they need t

There is a monetization path, but not likely easy like selling direct to consumers. As others have commented - voice (and google glass!!) are useful when you don't have hands. For example, a dentist frequently needs to look at the co

As a homeowner building drywall skills is super important and money saving skill. With some basic tools you can easily build super high quality surfaces if you learn how to mud and sand. Drywall is an amazingly maintainable product - my gue

Hell indeed. A problem space with intractable non technical challenges. The saddest part for me is the distraction from the potential of his other businesses, most specifically SpaceX. I just want to see Starship succeed.

this is all over AWS documentation; you get the durability via erasure encoding / replication over multiple AZs in one region. Regional blast radius protects again one AZ going down. You don't run a service like S3 across AZs i

These were going for about 2K over in the new england area. I got mine for just a smidge over MSRP in July. With the $2500 MA rebate and federal rebate it's a good deal. Plus it's a fun car to drive and the charging is fast.

What I observed is my local school administrator working to building consensus from the teachers, the unions, the parents, the janitors, the athletic groups, the board of health, etc, etc. Which is a perfectly good approach for a stable sys

The biggest problem I have seen is that the local school educational bureaucracy (administrators, teachers, unions) are on covid-time while our children are growing up and developing in real time. If you are on covid-time, your instinct is

I don't think they are boring, but very important on the kind of engineer you are. At AWS I try to encourage people who like the problem space and at the very least appreciate it, but can totally understand that you don't want to

Sorry to hear that. We don't see this internally but if you put your email in your profile I'd be happy to reach out to you. (not sure else how to start the communication chain unfortunately). SDM on the team that owns backup.

I guess taking some risks as I am not really authorized to use social media, but at AWS there is a sauron like focus on not letting internal engineers view customer data. On my service we don't even have tools to do it and the securit
