I didn't quite read parent's comment like that. I think it's more about how we keep moving the goalposts or, less cynically, how the models keep getting better and better. I am amazed at the progress that we are _still_ makin

Just a couple of days ago I wrote on reddit about how long context models are mostly useless to me, because they start making too many mistakes very fast. They are vaguely helpful for "needle in a haystack" problems, not much more

Things are what they are. And what we make of them, really. Poetry is art, and art is inherently subjective. Someone's trash is someone else's beautiful work of art. Indeed, I think, with time, I have been able to appreciate art a

This quote looks like it could have been written by Alberto Caeiro, right before he would turn around and apologize for putting too much thingness into things, less they become less thingy in the eyes of us over-thingers.

My experience using MQTT has been through the paho python MQTT library, and, while we definitely have managed to get a lot done, it has been a terrible experience. Everything about it rubs me the wrong way. The API design, the poor document

Of course there is a reason. It is part of the act and the meta-culture. I'm not saying I like Mr Beast or this document, but it seems extremely obvious to me that this document is the way it is very intentionally. The specific sentenc

Sharelatex and Overleaf were actually two different competing products, and one bought the other out and integrated. Source: I used sharelatex before and all my stuff from 10 years ago is now on overleaf, even though I don't even use i

These are rust tools, right? (edit: Perhaps Go?) Could you kindly provide some examples of having type-safety and patterns that "feel like" ORM-like productivity, without the baggage? I'm very interested! I'm a heavy Dja

ORMs, like SQL, C++, Python, and Ruby are just a tool. You can be shit at using that tool. ORMs also usually allow you to drop down to SQL when you have to. They are there to help you, and they expect you to know what you're doing. Lik

The research is focused on _how_ it works, rather than _if_ it works. The abstract itself begins by stating that "MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a psychoactive drug with powerful prosocial effects." I had the same rea

Do the recent developments of around 700 in 770 people calling for board resignation answer this in your opinion? I am genuinely asking for your view, not trying to sound sarcastic, as you may consider that this is just a vague threat and d

I used to vehemently defend this idea. Had my solid group of 10 friends from college (still do) and hated being forced into becoming “friends” with work mates. Then as life went on and many things changed, I entered the “it’s okay to make f
