The benefit I see to prediction markets is that you don't have to constantly update your predictions, and yet they still provide useful results. Metaculus and friends are just too much work for me.

A good understanding of the world, your own capabilities, and how they relate to the capabilities of other players. There is also some technical knowledge but that's easy to pick up.

There is a class of prediction markets that are useful and seem immune to most of these problems : play money prediction markets. I've been enjoying them for years; I feel they provide a useful service to understand what is going on in

How much are you going to spend on electricity though? Is this really going to be more cost-effective than just using openrouter?

I think I would be fine with that if they also provided the option to check the box immediately when you first setup your account on a new phone. I don't want to wait for 24 hours every time I change phones.

That says more about the sad state of modern CI pipelines than anything about uv's popularity. Not disputing that it's a great and widely used tool, BTW.

How about picking software based on how well it works?

I wonder if it's for real and at a meaningful scale, or if it's for the press release.

I've seen several already. There's a huge business opportunity (at our expense, of course).

As someone who comes from a country where it's very hard to fire people, don't make that mistake. Staying in a company where you're not wanted is a miserable experience. The company will do anything to make you leave. Plus, i

I think this largely depends on how much unsafe Rust they produced.

Not everyone lives close to a major city hub. Also, depending on your interests, you may not want to meet people IRL right away. Talking to anonymous strangers is often a good way to learn more about sensitive subjects without taking too mu

We still need a way to meet people with similar niche interests. This isn't served well IRL.

FreeCAD is not great, it's painful to use but it's free and it works. I'm thankful for it.

This is completely untrue. Git is fully decentralized in the way it's designed. People use it in a centralized manner, but that has nothing to do with the tool itself. If you familiarize yourself with the way people use it for Linux ke

That's very short-sighted though. The money is forcing everyone (users and creators) to stay on YouTube, no matter how big of a cut they take or how much crap they throw at us as users.

by joelthelion 8mo ago
By paying for youtube, you're supporting Google and walled gardens more than creators, I'd argue.

As a side note, vim works great with Ai plug-ins.

Do opus 4.6 or gemini deep think really use test time adaptation ? How does it work in practice?

This might be harder to do on linux because filesytems are different. If I'm not mistaken, NTFS has big tables that can be directly read without iterating through the filesystem tree. I don't think this is true of most popular lin

One factor that I didn't see mentioned is enshittification. The platforms are prioritizing monetization at the expense of everything else. It's making the experience worse and, as a result, people are gradually leaving.

I'd argue this is not opinion but fact. Also, articles very often didn't say "Musk says" but just took his word for fact, not even quoting him. And in the era of Trump/Musk, their practices should evolve.

Could you make your changes with a low TTL and switch to a longer one once you are satisfied with the results?

It might not have a great impact, but I've started to fight back. Interrupt me in the middle of an important task? You get a 1-star rating. Ask me for some random information you shouldn't need? Get bogus answers. And so on.

> Deal would support Musk's plan to put data centers in space What a load of absolute horseshit. At what point do people start opening their eyes?

If this goes on, we could end up with separate regional networks instead of a big internet. A bit like what is already going on in China.

Exactly. There's a lot of potential, but it needs to be done right, otherwise it is worse than useless.

Growth mindset can be such a cancer. Many mature businesses don't need to grow and are perfectly fine as they are. You could continue running them forever, making steady cash. Or you could enshittify them, make slightly more money for
