For me, just changing the body position already works. Sometimes I lie down on a coach and suddenly it "clicks".

For me, AI is super helpful with one-off scripts, which I happen to write quite often when doing research. Just yesterday, I had to check my assumptions are true about a certain aspect of our live system and all I had was a large file whic

Tried the 1B model with the "think step by step" prompt. It gets "which is larger: 9.11 or 9.9?" right if it manages to mention that decimals need to be compared first in its step-by-step thinking. If it skips mentioning

A student of mine had an assignment to write a game using SFML, they wrote a FlappyBird clone and it was like a few hundred lines of code. It's not a very complex program to write. To be honest, I think 4k is too much :)

When I tried Nextcloud, I found there was an option to sync all photos from Google Photos. It synced around 10% photos and reported success. Overall, Nextcloud had lots of breaking bugs/instability issues like that in almost all cases

On the other hand, we often create over-engineered solutions because taking the simpler route would require us to rewrite existing cruft, which is often just more expensive.

Our PM quit a month ago and now we have stand-ups without any managers. I think it made the developers more responsible and involved: every stand-up a new dev gets the role of a facilitator. Previously, it was a one-man show. The stand-ups

I understand what it means, I'd like to know where the monolith architecture stands in this context. One of our projects was originally a monolith, and each tenant had their own dedicated DB the monolith connected to. Then they switche

A few years ago, after having worked on a microservice-oriented project for some time, I joined a team which developed a monolith. To be honest, it felt like a breath of fresh air. What previously took coordination across multiple teams and

You mean it's easier to shard databases per tenant when it's a monolith?

We had to make something similar. We have both huge tenants (200k users in one tenant) and small tenants with 10 users. Sometimes there are spikes when a large tenant generates thousands of jobs. In a naive implementation, 1 tenant would be

In my country, it's illegal to charge different people differently if there's no explicitly signed agreement where the both sides agree to it. Without an agreement, there must be a reasonable and verifiable justification for a cha

They call GPT4 a legacy model, maybe that's why they don't compare to it.

It says game development can be made simple and then throws a whole of jargon at you: clojure vectors, datomics, atoms, transactions, malli schemas... Can someone explain?
