Just out of curiosity, what would you expect the value-add to be in this? From my perspective, if you're using emacs, it's value comes from being the 'top layer' that ties together all the functions and coordinates betw

I see this as kinda the flipside of "how to draw an owl" [1]. A smarter programmer than me once described software as "do 90%, then do the other 90%" - the mvp, first functional prototype, heck, even the first deliver

I've found that GPT really like "google style" python documentation. You need to have a chunk of system prompt explain that it should be 'using the tools according to their documentation etc etc', but once you&#x27

TIL about Swadesh lists. It's not just a matter of complexity, either. Especially with English, you can say pretty much anything using any words - if you use the right combination of euphemism, analogy, poetic structure, context, etc.

I think where you and I might be diverging here is in our definitions of 'thief' and 'murderer'. I don't see a difference between, say, a capo that orders a hit, and a member of congress who votes for a foreign &#x2

I feel like we just have to hold out for another couple of decades - until there aren't any boomers left in government. This whole clusterfuck is a result of old people not knowing their ass from a pihole.

In an information environment, security and privacy are the same thing. The terms may have different connotations culturally, but good security-in-depth is the same set of practices that enable digital privacy, because the objective is the
