Lego survives being eaten by babies and poop back out again (source: my younger brother). They also survive being left out at theme parks (ie the various Legolands) and primary schools under all weather conditions for months and years. So I

The problem isn’t that AI cannot do this already. Because it can. The problem is cost. There are people complaining that MCP costs too many tokens. Parsing the same UIs that humans do would just be insane. And to be honest, I don’t think th

I don't think they curate it. From what I understand it is basically just "hot" submissions. However they do have the ability to bump individual submissions onto the front page if they feel a specific submission might have be

That’s only true for the frontier. The moment you start looking at enterprise consumers of AI you’ll see slow monoliths that make decisions by committee and those committees often don’t even understand the tech they’re passing ruling on. An

I obviously cannot speak for every company that has ever existed in the FinTech industry. And you haven’t given any more details beyond vague comments which makes it hard to comment on your specific claims. So I can only talk about my exper

I’ve worked in pretty much every domain of IT in the UK (FinTech, gaming, broadcasting, Hollywood, public sector, etc) and I’ve not experienced any class bias in FinTech. I will say that different industries have different formalities (gene

They were sealed in box? Yeah you'd be right that damage would be easy and could significantly reduce the value. I didn't realize people bought Lego to leave in the box. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised because it's

Yup. This has been my experience when campaigning for change too.

None of this is a risk with Lego. Depreciation: not going to happen on Star Wars sets that are not longer in production. Water damage: Lego is water proof. Breakage: being easy to take apart and put back together is Lego’s core principle.

For Slack, I find just changing the default notification sound to a simple and subtle ding works well. When I’m focused, I don’t hear it because it’s too subtle. But when I’m not concentrating on anything, it’s more noticeable and I don’t m

That’s a fair question but I can think of one big advantage of going this way and that’s to do with distraction-free workspaces. To use a comparison, have you ever picked up your phone to enter an TOTP / one time auth code and then acc

I’m building something like this right now. I’m already using it as my primary terminal emulator and have recently just been adding LSP support to the code editor.

by hnlmorg 5mo ago
I know. That’s my point. People talk about LLM writing style like it’s a unique butterfly and humans don’t write that they. But we do. Which is why LLMs do too.
345.
by hnlmorg 5mo ago
I don't think even that is a reliable indicator because I'm currently reviewing an LLM generated bullet tree right now.
346.
by hnlmorg 5mo ago
Some people wrote like that before LLMs polluted the water. Just like people used em dashes before LLMs. I used bullet points heavily before LLMs.

It was two comments prior to mine that mentioned status pages. Someone then replied about how it takes a bunch of HTTP response errors for problems to be alerted and thus I commented that application observability would consist of more than

If the font is proprietary then using that without permission could be copyright infringement. If the logo can be confused as owned by another entity, then that could be argued as trademark infringement. But these cases would need to be dec

I never mentioned anything about status pages. Are you sure you’re replying to the right comment?
350.
by hnlmorg 5mo ago
Yeah very true. Talking about long SQL queries, I quite like throwing CPU alerts on database servers. They'll be a low priority alert (ie no out of hours "pagers") so just something that goes into a slack channel. But they&#x

I'm a massive DC fanboy but even I have to concede that the GameCube version of PSO is better: - you don't lose any unequipped items when you die (this is super annoying on the DC) - you can level up your character to 200 instead

No, monitoring for HTTP response code is a subset of observability and not one that generally gives you the best insights into which subsystems are misbehaving nor why. There are synthetic tests, where you can generate API request calls or

by hnlmorg 5mo ago
It depends what you're monitoring. If it's response codes from user generated queries, then I'd agree with you. But if it is synthetic queries sent from the monitoring platform, then you control the user agent, payload, and e

If you already have a copy of PSO for the Gamecube and a GC or modded Wii, then sign up to https://schtserv.com/forums/app.php/welcome It's free and they're almost always some open parties available for

I might agree with you if it wasn't for those annoying trap doors. I got so lost as a result of them back when I originally rented the game back in the 90s that I never managed to complete it.

I use https://schtserv.com which supports both GC and Xbox versions of PSO. The Dreamcast has it's own community servers and isn't compatible with Schtserv. Though I believe that might just be because Episode 2 wasn&#x

You'd expect them to be monitoring more than just the HTTP response codes from user requests for precisely this reason. If the first they hear of an outage is when user requests start to fail, then that's a failure in their monito

I still play PSO weekly online with a small guild of friends.

The original is still a great game. But I'd recommend the `Sega Ages` version on the Nintendo Switch rather than the original because the Sega Ages version includes a couple of quality of life improvements such as a map of the dungeons
