This is such an under-appreciated point! Even in a sport where the average female is at an advantage over the average male, the top performers will likely still be male due to the higher variance in the male population.

Yea I don't think the crop of LLM is useful for this. They let themselves be lead by what's written, and struggle to understand negation even. So when I suspect there is a better solution, I have a hard time getting such an answer

Funny for me there have been instances where the LLM did push back. I had a plan of how to solve something and tasked the LLM with a draft implementation. It kept producing another solution which I kept rejecting and specifying more details

Thanks for the hint! A friend recently asked about a kanban-style app, and they're already using Nextcloud.

If I called you a fringe US conservative, that would be ad-hominem. We haven't gotten there because we're stuck at the question you are deflecting. In my view, Conservapedia is an encyclopedia only by medieval standards. It is n

I asked for something that is equally implausible. So I take it you think people feeling non-binary is equally or more implausible than the biblical flood? Do people not identify as non-binary? Or are they lying about their feelings? Don&#x

Yea these flood events are interesting. But did you read the Conservapedia page? They are very specific about the flood having happened 5000 years ago and say it was a global phenomenon. That was just the first link I clicked on the homepag

Wow this guy is a prolific forger! Not knowing the details of the case, doesn't he risk getting a book thrown at him for introducing forged evidence?

Wow I haven't seen a link to Conservapedia in a looong time. Out of curiosity, I clicked. They claim physical reality of the biblical flood: https://www.conservapedia.com/Great_Flood And wow somebody has put a lot of w

That's surprising! So say I buy a bunch of produce from a farmer for my shop in Portugal. In the case where I sell it I'd expect to pay VAT on my margin. But how would my accounting differ between putting it in trash bags and putt

Indeed it is weird to theorize why somebody should switch if they trusted the process to be random. There's no reason to. And if I'm not sure about the process, indeed I may want to stick with my choice. I was wondering how a stud

I'm sure this is not how VAT works where I live. You only owe tax on the value you added. If you give it away, value added is zero. It's in the name!

What I like most about Supermaven is how it's trying to complete the diff, not the file. It knows the field I just added in another file. And it works towards a commit. I still have to figure out which files to open, and I hope there w

Exactly! It really depends on the setup. Good CI? Deploy at will. Nonexistent CI? Tuesday morning. Of course it can go wrong in either case. But I will keep less slack when the CI is good.

Yes "error" or "mistake" fits better than "bug". That's a general problem with the term though.

Thanks for the correction regarding the Regex timeline. Git commits are generally more reliable than my memory.

In the case of OpenAI it's potential value that investors are assessing, not value. If they folded today, society would not care. And as for the whole idea of "company value equals value to society", I see monopolies and rent

The Elm people themselves worked with the impure browser api all the time. They just don't want me to do it. So it's not even a foolish consistency but just base gatekeeping. Turns me right off. If you want to divide into two camp

Yes the answer is always ports when this topic comes up. Unfortunately one can only pass some basic types through ports. Passing a RegExp or an Intl.DateTimeFormat is not possible. It needs a wrapper on the Elm side, and the Elm people deci

In my case, it was a regex supplied by the user. Elm 0.18 had no support for constructing a regex at run-time. So I made a package that wraps native RegExp. When 0.19 was released, I couldn't upgrade because of those 5 lines. The rege

I tend some workloads that transform data grids of varying sizes. The grids are anon mmaps so that when mem runs out, they get paged out. This means processing stays mostly in-mem yet won't abort when mem runs tight. The processes that

Where I live, "meeting of the minds" is necessary for a contract. Written or not. In this case, that meeting didn't happen. Due to the bullshit generator employed by Air Canada. So there was no contract but a consumed flight.
