Same here, only issue I’ve ever had was when my email address had the name of the company in it in the format of spamlklcompanyname@domain.com CS people are sometimes confused by that and I’ve been accused of attempting to hack them by a sm

What do you use to interface with llama for autocomplete? and what editor do you use? Not wanting my data to be sent to random places is what has limited my use of tools like copilot (so I'd only use it very sparingly after thinking if

My wife complains that I take my kindle to the bathroom and will read on the way and back. I'm nowhere near as addicted to my phone though.

Another girl, not his daughter, from the girl's circle also became a mathematician (whereas the daughter is a professor of film studies). So, yes, genetic, family culture (most of the parents of the kids from the math circles were teac

As someone who has needed to hire quite a few developers, I will say that the biggest communality of the greatest software engineers are those who are in it for fun. So I ask about side projects, I ask about what they did as kids, I ask abo

A couple of other books that I think are useful and easier to execute than Zvonkin's books are the books by Christopher Danielson. Which One Doesn't Belong? is great to play with a child and Talking Math with Your Kids has some go

The book skips the first 20 weeks for the boys but covers those activities for the girls (around the end of the book). So I'd suggest reading the girl circle and then coming back to the boys circle... I've absolutely loved that bo

There's a department center in Hong Kong with a weird overly sweet smell. I kept wondering why it'd smell like this the first time I visited, until I learned that the CEO of the group decided to create a scent signature for his ma

I already do, I have donated $1750 so far. I have no way to see why this project is stalled or to specify where my donations go to (which makes sense, having donators specifying which subproject is likely to be a nightmare to manage)

In my experience, AI for coding is having a rather stupid very junior dev at your beck and call but who can produce the results instantly. It's just often very mediocre and getting it fixed often takes longer than writing it on your ow

That’s rather disappointing. Expected more from the internet archive.

One of the problems I've seen is that often enough AIs do a much shittier job than humans but it's seen as good enough and so jobs are axed. You can see this with translations, automated translation is used a lot more than it used

I tried that and it'll be great when my kid is older but the Lego Boost app has some kind of gamification built in that's honestly pretty sweet and is a good gateway I think. Right now, I'm using an android emulator to be abl
