Yes, I've also found llms can generate working common lisp code quite well, albeit I've only been solving simple problems. I haven't tried integrating it into a repl or even command line tools though. The llm can't exper

Maybe so you can communicate with it via tools like iMessage? Not so it can impersonate you. People will 100% be doing both though, security be damned.

I think there was a phase of repeated breakages a while back, but things seem to have stabilised. Fixes are released quickly ime too.

For a good intro the Sleepbot Environmental Broadcast radio is well worth listening to. Also their write up on how and why they produce the broadcast is really interesting.

Check out chorded keyboards. They've been a thing for a very long time. At least since early 00s or 90s when I saw them first. They are held one handed have 5 keys and you get different letters by chording multiple keys together.

I also eat those yes. Something I don't see mentioned for a high protein diet often is gram flour. 22g protein per 100g and can be made into socca very quickly and easily with just water and small amount of oil.

Sorry yes, I'm in the UK and lentils/beans commonly come pre-cooked in 400g cans which usually equates to around 240g drained weight. E.g. https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/262490576 So

But in practice don't most people mean tofu when talking about soy beans for protein? That tends to come out at 10-13g per 100g. Same for cooked cans of soy/edamme beans and most other canned lentils/pulses? I've never s

Has anyone invited an LLM inside their lisp process that can be accessed from the repl? Being able to empower an LLM to be able to affect the running lisp image (compile functions etc), and having changes reflected back to the source on dis

I have a feeling that Le Guin didn't speak or read Chinese when creating her version, I think she outlines the process in the preface. That might explain the similarities you've noticed?

Yes things that were broken for me by default are explorer, notepad (using it with files over a network), calendar pop up, and start menu. And don't get me started on the UI of the sound/battery/network widget. Every day I&#x

Oh wow, the wiki / project looks fantastically interesting. I've bookmarked it for a deeper read in the future. Yes I did mean reversed.

I think the only viable option to read pdfs on the subway would be a tablet. Text to speech might be more pleasant than the zoom/scrolling you're talking about but I've never tried it?

My mental model was always that the order of keywords mirrored the order the database engine applied them. So WHERE is processed first and SELECT last.

I'm not addressing your point on fairness but I've been working on a similar program but instead of taking locks out on the queue table I maintain a consumers position for locked and acknowldeged messages on the consumers table. I

Yep I've been bitten by this. Very frustrating. I went back to a usb stick containing the video and subtitle file stuck in the back of the projector.

Like another comment pointed out they seem to store pins as a JSON blob in a single column anyway. They probably should've used Drupal. Really, this is pinterest. They store 'boards' and 'pins', you may as well have

Yes I think in the end I'll likely go for an GUID Id column, an integer InsertOrder column, and a timestamp which is non-essential meta-data.

In the UK football broadcasting is regulated. The traditional top-flight league games kick off at 3pm on Saturday. None of those matches are allowed to be broadcast to maintain gate revenues for the clubs. Very roughly speaking only 3 match

I follow this market a little, and haven't seen one yet. The brands I'd check would be Nokia and Doro. There was a company making small power bank and feature phone combo but I can't remember the name. It might be more fruitf

Should we kill Outlook and use web based O365 until a patch is released? O365 web based mail has been pretty good for a while now compared with Outlook if you're in the MS ecosystem. I might just make the switch now and see how I get o
