Why cancer specifically? Why not say, diabetes or heart disease?

Generally they work better with words that are more easily readable by humans. They have a lot of trouble with JSON and do YAML much better, for example. Running through more tokens doesn't just increase cost, it lowers quality. So the

Jira's a great tool with a terrible UI. You have to heavily customize it, build it into your command line, automate stuff and so on.

Often the highest is the correct answer. If it's 21, then break it down until nobody thinks it's 21.

We just stopped using story points when nobody could agree on them. I used emojis as story points once. A colleague asked wtf the :D meant vs :/ or :( or :'). I said I had no idea. I just put how I felt. Some things looked simple

There's UIs for git. People seem to be embarrassed about using them, but I've always liked them.

Be the change. You don't have to quit overnight. But start paving the better road, brick by brick. Other people are doing it too. Eventually, across years or centuries, it leads to a way out. Not everything can be bought or killed over

I put explanations of the code in other .md files. There's architecture.md, checklist.md, (feature).md, components.md, navigation.md. These are designed to be easy for humans to read. There's also notes on things like deprecated l

But I don't live in any of those places. Also I believe India-Pakistan has nukes too. And possibly Israel-Iran. North Korea too? The peace loving nations are well within fallout range. My biggest fear with MAD is that it only takes a s

But why would someone write a false essay? Could they be more obtuse or inexperienced than the reader?

The issue is more that writing is thinking. You can't just have AI do it. My process is: 1) write bullet points completely uncensored, 2) write the first draft from the bullet points, 3) delete everything and write the second draft fro

An alternative is voice. I'm not trying to shill AI here; STT has been around for decades and it was one of my productivity hacks ten years ago. But with all the AI around these days, the error correction is a lot better, and I'd

Selling for a fixed price has worked for decades. Microsoft did it. They made money, used the money to make new products. Early cash is good. The whole SaaS ARR model was popularized by VCs because it's easy to calculate and a healthy

Don't eat unicorn food if you're not a unicorn. Here's a litmus test - do you think $5 million is a lot of money? If yes, then do it. Whatever gets you to $5 mil the fastest. If no, then don't do it. You'll run out

I use Namecheap to search too and have searched hundreds of domains, and this has never happened to me. So I think it's not a script.

I would, but more as a discovery platform. I wouldn't trust OpenRouter for something in production, but it's a good place to plug stuff in. It's also popular for NSFW purposes, and those models are harder to get API keys for.

Integrating LLMs and guardrailing the API outputs used to be an interview question. It's one of the ways you could tell if someone actually built a sufficiently complex AI tool in production. 1. LLMs hallucinate and often forget to clo

If someone says "Help, I'm stuck in the bathroom!" on social media, it means they forgot to lock their screen.

The idea is that unlocked screens are a security liability. If someone can read your Slack or send emails, they can download credentials, drop tables, etc. Firing is a little extreme. We just embarrass people to remind them. Also if it&#x27

What does this mean in practice? Wouldn't companies just jump through the bureaucratic hoop to hire people for a third of the prices?

They're able to "decode" base64 if you give it a popular quote, but if you modify the quote, it will often hallucinate the exact quote. If you enlarge images with it, it will often hallucinate bits and pieces of it. So I&#x27

Persevere. Get emotionally invested. Be a little stubborn. Commit 100%. As investors say, strong opinions, weakly held. The stages of grief are a biological checklist: 1. Denial: Is it a measurement error? A fluke? Not enough time? Unexpect

Iterating quickly. Basically you want to get something out there for people to comment on and play around with. But the engineering structure to get something out is not necessarily the structure to modify quickly. I once launched a recip

Quoting Paul Graham, John McPhee wrote that Bill Bradley's success as a basketball player was due partly to his extraordinary peripheral vision. "Perfect" eyesight means about 47 degrees of vertical peripheral vision. Bill Br

I had a friend. We made games as teenagers. Just strangers over the Internet nerding out on random things. We clicked real well, better than I do with many IRL friends. But she lied to people. She was trans. People don't like being lie

Tropical climates are extremely humid and you'll get sweaty just sitting indoors without air conditioning. As opposed to say, Europe, or even middle east/Australia. On the positive side, water is abundant in tropical climates. My
