It also happened with doorbell cameras. If you'd have asked people ten years ago if it seemed reasonable for nearly every home to have an Internet-connected camera on the front facing the street (and neighbors' houses), I think yo

It may just be to stop third parties from creating a whole business out of "shop for me" AI bots. Individual users getting away with it might not be a problem, but with it being against ToS, it'd be a lot more shaky to build

Or alternatively: they have reduced the expectations of "two day shipping" so much that they no longer need to try that hard (by commingling inventory) to actually meet them.

This makes sense in the modern age where retailers accept returns for any/no reason and manufacturers tend to bend over backwards to get you to avoid returning anything. Same reason why any furniture you order online seems to always ha

Most unions in the US seem to have pretty strict rules about titles, who does what, and how much each role gets paid. It's not unreasonable to expect it'd happen with software developers, too. That said, I always point to the NFL

It is overwhelmingly less resource-intensive to maintain over time than any Jenkins server. And the config is in the repo (not the Jenkins server's config).

Once you get beyond shell, make, docker (and similar), dependencies become relevant. At my current employer, we're mostly in TypeScript, which means you've got NPM dependencies, the NodeJS version, and operating system differences

Me, too, though getting the trusted publisher NPM settings working didn't help with this. But it does help with most other CI issues.

The moral calculus is not the same. I don't think we have an obligation to legislate everyone's health, but I do think it's a higher ask when we're talking about explicitly subsidizing bad choices for people most vulnera

People smoke cigarettes without getting lung cancer. I guess I’m all for inflicting the suffering of non-smoking by not subsidizing cigarettes, too. And obviously having to use one’s own money to buy Mountain Dew is a far cry from “inflicti

What if we just don't want to subsidize giving people lifelong obesity and metabolic disorders? Why does that necessarily imply we have to agree with you on other issues? Do we need to make it tribal and ascribe ulterior motives?

by moduspol 9mo ago
It seems unnecessarily reductive to insist that we must choose between endlessly subsidizing Mountain Dew and Twinkies or that poor children should never be allowed to have cake.

It is also often low-proficiency developers with their minds blown over how quickly they can build something using frameworks / languages they never wanted to learn or understand. Though even that group probably has some overlap with y

The comment you're replying to says other companies have taken the "software" and the "iPad". To genuinely believe that, one must have not spent much time using Tesla's software or "iPad" to compare w

I agree that the viewer should see what they want to see, but I do think they should be made aware what it is and that they're seeing it.

I think the evidence is that even amongst evangelists, they all seem to have different sets of key techniques that change every few months.

I found out recently that in my state, the online vanity plate checker shows plates that were PREVIOUSLY registered but NOW available as NOT available. I wanted to get one of my own plates I had years ago and assumed there was some process

Yes. If I fold the back seats down in my wife's SUV, it already does all of those things better.

The Slate initially looked good to me, but there were three things about it that were not upgradeable that seemed problematic: * Bed size is fairly small * Towing capacity is low (Just 1000lbs) * RWD -> AWD I liked the idea of buying a b

Nah man I'm with you. I've gone chest-deep into this pool and still get issues 5-10% of the time with pretty simple use cases. And I've got a top-of-the-line TV and a pretty good receiver. It's maddening that such concep

It's not just about coding standards. It's about, over time, having a team of people with a built-up set of knowledge about how things work and how they're expected to work. You don't get that by vibe coding and reviewin

> But the shared goal is to get a change to the codebase to achieve a desired outcome. I'd argue that's not true. It's more of a stated goal. The actual goal is to achieve the desired outcome in a way that has manageable

My phrasing suggests that. I was having trouble thinking of a non-offensive way to say, "I don't think the kids can possibly be learning much if the teachers and administration are incapable of implementing a phone ban." Pare

If the teachers and schools cannot implement a phone ban because the students won't listen to them, it might be time to reassess what their purpose is.

I genuinely wonder the use cases are where the required accuracy is so low (or I guess the prompts are so strong) that you don't need to vigorously use evals to prevent regressions with the model that works best--let alone actually jus

You will undoubtedly be recreating what already exists in LangGraph. And you'll probably be doing it worse.

It costs a lot more than a few bucks when you’re putting a lot of traffic through it. And running your own NAT instance does not incur per-GB traffic costs. That said, the paid NAT gateways do also publish metrics. That can be nice when deb

The closest social equivalency to public school socialization I can think of is prison. You're stuck there for N hours per day with limited or zero control over what other people you're around. Maybe parts of military training mig

I know it's probably offensive but I do suspect SFV use also correlates with lower intelligence. This study suggests it leads to poorer cognition, which is in the same ballpark, but I am curious if in the next five or ten years, we&#x2
