The user images look AI-generated, based on e.g. the fingers in https://www.notiv.app/lovable-uploads/9224843e-e523-4691-951... I think this is inherently dishonest because it's made to look like they're real

It'd be nice to see documentation of how it works. Is it using a replication channel for Postgres? The write-ahead log? It looks like it does schema introspection and then works off that. How does it handle schema changes? How does thi

I am the first to criticize LLMs and dumb AI hype. there is no nothing wrong with using an LSP, and a coding assistant is just an enhanced LSP if that is all you want it to be. my job is to solve problems, and AI can slightly speed that up.

The main use of evolutionary algorithms in machine learning currently is architecture search for neural networks. There's also work on pipeline design, finding the right way to string things together. Neural networks already take a lon

It's still not clear to me that past data has any information about future prices or that repeating trends appear with any statistical significance. Especially major indexes that aggregate lots of equities. It's not clear if they

You can also use simple string search functions for this Advent of Code problem. I used this approach for implementing orthography rules in a stenography application (implementing rules like `artistic + ly = artistically`) and in the benchm

ECharts was handy for getting a quick chart going in a typing practice app I wrote. It was easy to get a chart showing WPM over time on a word list.

OK, so it's like Python notebooks and Smalltalk. so it's like this dynamic thing for transforming data in a rapid feedback, ad hoc, exploratory fly-by-the-seat-of-your pants way. OK. why talk about "capturing domain knowledge

As with buying consumer GPUs from Nvidia now, these prices mean nothing, because it will be impossible to buy one of these at MSRP. The actual price will be 2-3x this from some scalper who has a giant pile of them while people who want to d

Looking at YouTube Unity tutorials, it looks like you could just straight up make your own Pac-Man in a few hours with the benefit that you could actually control and understand what the fuck is going on at each step of the way. It would al

I am not the user. What I honestly believe is right may not work out the way I expect despite my best efforts as an expert. If you can't get any user feedback on your products, that is its own problem.

I love bagging on lazy engineers who just chuck code over the fence without caring about the user experience, but I seriously doubt I would notice this. The sad truth is a lot of video is watched in the background and Netflix knows this. Fo
