I dunno. If just your employers site is down then you'll be expected to fix it, whereas if everyone is down there's less pressure.

I've done everything using old Particle Xenon boards (nrf52840 microcontroller) and didn't encounter anything 'user hostile'. Originally I had all the 'hub' stuff on one of the boards too, but the newer recomme

Are you arguing against the automation here? Because if so it seems we could bring back a lot of employment by simply getting rid of machines, but would we really be better off? Is it better for humans to spend their short lives working as

If you haven't, you may enjoy reading Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut. It explores some similar themes to the 'would humans be satisfied in a world where they have no economic role whatsoever' discussion. I thought it was inter

Possibly related, but I've found recent Ali shipping to Canada has gotten much faster. I've received some thing in around a week that would normally take over a month.

Keep in mind that using the free tier models means Google will keep what you send and use it for training. In bold in their terms is: "Do not submit sensitive, confidential, or personal information to the Unpaid Services." https:

Nice tool. To add a workflow to the 'lots of these', I usually use an aichat[^1] role. The prompt is stored in `~/.config/aichat/roles/gitcommit.md` and then I do this: ``` git diff --cached | aichat -m deepsee

Obviously facetious, but I'd hope most people would want their blog post read by LLMs. I suspect (hope) a lot of blog posts are written to share knowledge. In that regard having that knowledge trained in to LLMs (ideally open ones, but

Adding a content warning to the account/post seems about right to me. Someone that creates an account just to immediately post something like this is very likely not following the community guidelines. It's not like it was posted

Interesting counter-points. Thank you for taking the time to post them. I don't think I have anything useful to add without giving the issue more thought. Your reply definitely adds new dimensions for me to think about.

I find this project hugely helpful when working with Google Takeout archives. I normally pick a size that's not too large so that downloading them is easier, then it's simply a matter of: ratarmount ./takeout-20231130T224

Your base assumption here is that the 'crap' is actually 'junk'. Let's look at the easy one here, languages. Talk to someone that speaks multiple languages and they'll have examples of concepts in one language

Would it though? Just running things 'async' is simple, but it's also simple in Rust. I wouldn't figure writing an Executor would be any easier in Go than the Rust example at https://rust-lang.github.io/a
