This is the way. Programs are not text, there's an impedance mismatch that shows at the seams. There're good reasons it hasn't been done more: text is good for troubleshooting, "every program should do one thing well&quo

I've met some grossly incompetent colleagues that were kept in the team just because they were willing to do certain kind of work that we didn't like, but management only pretended to not notice. As for AI being the new version of

7B vs 70B parameters... I think. The small ones fit in the memory of consumer grade cards. That's what I more or less know (waiting for my new computer to arrive this week)

The real trick is that critical thinking is almost always being critical with someone that's trying to mislead you. Many people try to do it with many different methods. So you're right it's not one thing. Also nobody will te

A question: what is the date of the first physical copy of any of these texts? Much discussion about the temporal distance between the described events and the writers, but what about the distance between the writers and the text we know? A

The same method works for any type of "dry" rice cooking. With "dry" I mean that all the liquid ends in the rice, no soup. The main advantage over cookers is that you can use chicken or seafood broth and add any other in

I've had no luck with that devices, moreover the instructions advised against broth, just water. But found out that with the right proportion of liquid and rice, a regular pot, six minutes on the vitro and ten minutes after switching o

While it is impressive and I like to follow the advancements in this field... Please don't think that I'm trying to suggest... anything . It's just that I'm getting used to read this pattern in the output of LLMs. &quo

Past month I setup ssh accounts to access a remote server using Laravel. The guys doing the programming absolutely hate the console, but it turns out VS Code can work through ssh connections just fine. Not sure if it can also debug, but edi

Disclaimer: my experience with Emacs is limited. I've only used it because it's the path of least resistence to learn Lisp. So for me it would be: everything that makes Lisp programming easier, like: - Use a Lisp implementation

Maybe we should stop subsidies to buy electric cars and let China subsidize on the production side instead, while lowering taxes on the production of our own cars.

We're starting to see "AI chips" in that space. "Positronic" came to my mind.

I hope that won't be the case for me. I added myself to Madrid, let's see how it goes.

I don't know, the guy is no longer around. Maybe some code-completion tool (write "for" and it completes the syntax) because it's all over the place.

I comment everything that I think would be useful for me when revisiting the code a year later. Usually "why" and "why not". Sometimes a short "what" when the code is complex and it's nice to see the seque

In 2000 years, I wouldn't be surprised if no contemporary television managed to survive. Maybe most everything doesn't deserve to survive. Future humans will be busy enough living their lives, to learn an ever growing history of

Maybe the only possible conclusion is that you need much more specific experiments to conclude anything useful. I believe that any experiment that involves the whole life of someone is doomed and useless.

Whatever the reason, it's not so far fetched to assume the brightest are the first to leave. Or maybe the bravest, the most confident... I don't know. But better anyway.

I've had a very hard time getting my current job. No doubt ageism was a reason, combined with some years of self-employment that recruiters can't see as a anything but a suspicious hole. Still 40 is not old, wait one or two decade

Ambrinol is really disgusting (source: I have a small sample) and only makes sense mixed with the very nice ambroxide (IIRC, ambroxan is a commercial moniker for it). There's a curious evolution about abroxan's rep. If I'm no

People suffering uncle Rick, of course. But when it's some famous "difficult" person like Jobs or Gates, or in fiction like Doctor House, the version of them that we see is idealized. Actually this is the exact counterpoint o

This is outrageous and now it's a political talking point for the right, because the left uses it as a matter of "activism" from the "grassroot" movements that celebrate their spoils, at the same time they deny the

Sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about. The "swift" solution would send you to jail in mere hours. You're presumed guilty. Yes, it defies any logic, but that's the way that it is. My mom's husban

I meant that the music that's publicized today is the music that's made today. So if even with this handicap, older music is as popular as the new, one explanation could be that it was intrinsically catchier. The graphic that I

Last study I've seen, that stopped being... I won't say true, but I'd say that it stopped being a valid counterargument to that particular complaint. Now that young people can access music from any time in YouTube, their choi
