Second this. I apparently got broadly listbanned and accused of promoting "hasbarah" (a word I had to look up at the time and which is basically used more as a cudgel than a valid accusation) on Day 1 of Bluesky membership, simply

Initially, that was possible. They eventually banned those types of auctions before the site itself got taken down.

Ross Ulbricht was widely regarded by friends and family as a fundamentally decent and idealistic person—if admittedly naïve about the implications of his actions. Those who knew him personally describe him as thoughtful, intelligent, and mo

I got some good code recommendations out of it. I usually give the same question to a few models and see what they say; they differ enough to be useful, and then I end up combining the different suggestions with my own to synthesize the bes

Something occurred to me a while back: Can we treat events that only have eyewitness testimony with a Kalman filter somehow in order to strengthen the evidential value of the observations after encoding it into vectors of some sort? This wo

Your assumption that I couldn't have written this myself or that I didn't make corrections to it is telling. I've only been doing dev for 30+ years lol LLMs are an accelerant, like all previous tools... Not a replacement, alt
