Canada is also reaping outsized rewards for that investment. There are plenty of AI jobs in Canada that never would have existed. The problem is that in Canada we're willing to invest a little for a long time. But we're not willin

This is a great example of how horrible the situation is under Wayland. Screen sharing sometimes works. Sometimes doesn't. For example: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1ebwaz4/is_wayland_scr...

It's been almost two decades and we're still taking steps backwards on accessibility and features because of Wayland. From day 0 Wayland put their idea of a beautiful design above the needs of users. It's hard to see how we c

It's not academic dishonesty. When you read plenty of papers you aren't going to read them again to cite them. You take them from your read.bib file. Also citations generally don't link to a passage. They are pointers to an e

In my experience the kinds of kids who are worth having in the lab are not from the kinds of families that can afford 50k. In any case, I would never charge a summer student. And I have no idea how my university would do that if I tried. Th

You're thinking like an outsider instead of an insider. My friend's kids are going there ahead of mine. I know plenty of people there, including folks involved in admissions. I'm contacted to write letters for candidates. etc

Let me refute that defense. I went to the kinds of schools we're talking about and I had a lab at them for over a decade. If you went to an elite school and your kid can't get in by competing fairly with other kids, they're s

And thank goodness we don't teach kubectl and never will. Knowledge at the level of kubectl is worthless to the vast majority of grads. It's also extremely time-limited. In 5 years everything will have moved on. Web apps? What fra

Yes. I'm not the poster but I do something similar. Because now the capabilities of the model grow over time. And I can ask questions that involve a handful of those snippets. When we get to something new that requires some doing, it b

That's handled by the MCP server in the sense of it doesn't do authentication, etc. it provides a simplified view of the world. If that's what you wanted you could have designed that as your poorly documented internal API dif

But you're describing it in a way that is useless to anything but an LLM. It would have been much better if the description language had been more formalized.

Don't do any of this. It's very outdated advice. And you're going to get it wrong anyway. These threshold adjustment methods were invented before we had access to reasonable computers. There's a far simpler method that c

Not only has Haskell "abandoned" cons cells, its lists were never cons cells at all. The type system forbids (a . 1) entirely. In Haskell there's a movement to get rid of much of the special syntax for lists. And a lot of cod

Yeah, before Uber and Lyft I would get a Mercedes. Except that it took forever. I had no idea when anyone would show up. The driver was annoyed and drove like an insane person. The few times I've actually feared for my life have been o

Don't get your hopes up. This is astronomically away from anything real. The hard part hasn't even started. All they know right now is that humans can tolerate their blood product. They have no idea if it actually helps. And testi

No way. You've got it totally backwards. Companies push features onto users who do not want them in order to make sales through forced upgrades because the old version is discontinued. If people could, no one would ever upgrade anythin

No one is talking about the terrible wages they pay developers. On average, the best people will tend to better jobs. Salaries are half of places like Google. Of course their software is in trouble.

We don't have 8 major ISPs. That's a joke. We have 8 monoplies that live together. I have never once lived in a house where I had a choice of ISP in the US (unless you count getting a mobile router).

This isn't flat pricing. It's exactly the same API credits but you prepay for the month and lose anything you don't use. Whether it turns out to be cheaper depends on your usage. I thought Claude Code was absurdly expensive a
