I'm using LangGraph for my app which is an AI ecommerce analyst with multiple modes (report builder, and chatbot). It consumes API data and visitor sessions to build a giant report then compress it back down to actionable insights for

Agreed with most of this except the last point. You are never going to make a foundational model, although you may contribute to one. Those foundational models are the product, yes, but if I could use an analogy: foundational models are lik

So what is their claim then? They think that if you optimize your consumption based on "environmentally friendly" supply chains and aesthetics, even if those optimizations are actually unhealthy (ie. replacing cocoa with sunflowe

I think we've entered an era where this isn't worth the mental toll anymore. Especially as LLMs ramp up in adoption, the internet is becoming one giant demoralising psyop. I'm more interested in filtering and minimizing the i

ublock seems to be able to do anything :P That's good, but I still much prefer a simple toggle, and I'd like to expand it with more complex features as well.

Not yet, but I'm curious if that would be a good improvement. Would it really benefit you to gray out one subreddit, and not the rest? Maybe it'd be better to add exceptions instead?

The reality is that the market has inefficiencies like human emotion and bot/algorithmic trading which absolutely can be exploited by AI . You just need to train an AI to recognize the inefficiencies, which is exactly what neural netw

Good job! How does Farcaster/Mastodon solve any of the problems inherent to a global public square like Twitter? Do you prefer the guarded sandbox run by the political elite du jour, or the chaos of equal opportunity shitposting? RE: T

I suppose so, if you look at the exacerbation of economic inequality, starvation (+15 million worldwide), and deaths of despair caused by the lockdowns and associated interventions. Seemingly no one minds that.

- Quit your job: save up to survive a year or so, then quit and focus on other stuff. This is really a stand in for: pick 1, not all 3. - Read "Deep work": 3-4 hours of deep work on 1 thing gives you more time to spend on the othe

From my perspective the story has went like this: 1. It's probably fake/fraud/error/hopium. 2. Yeah but, it's not a superconductor, it's just diamagnetic. 3. Yeah but, theoretically maybe, but not practically.

There was a period where people were claiming that critical theory is being pushed in schools, while school board members refuted the claim as nonsense. Then it became clear that the students aren't being taught critical theory at all,

Because files and directories make up the core organization and architecture of any project. Obviously when I'm working with 1-5 files then Neovim is great, but it's awful when I'm working on a real project with dozens of dir

The thing I get peeved by is that none of the models say how much RAM/VRAM they need to run. Just list minimum specs please!

I just want mouse support... I need a GUI for my projects to navigate and organize them well, and I don't like how blind and tied up I feel in Neovim. I'm looking forward to some kind of open source VS Code killer with vim editing

I tried digital nomading for a bit. It turns out it's more about drinking and surfing rather than doing anything productive. It was fun for a few months but I have no idea how people can maintain that lifestyle of basically being a 24&

By their own admission the point is to socially dismantle heteronormative white men. These identity groups are considered oppressors in Western communist ideology. So they're to be taken down, as an adaptation of the old "seizing

What in the world is going on here? Why is there so much hate for this project? Adding optional ETH donations is cool. I have no idea if it'll work well, but it's cool to try. Adding ML/AI content moderation is a no-brainer a

That's actually a good way to put it. I wouldn't say they're mentally defective though, because many of these people are quite intelligent but are made "stupid" by social phenomena.

I've recently gotten out of a funk by role-playing. I don't know why, but it makes me happy to pretend I'm a ranger while running, a hacker while coding, a botanist while gardening, etc. Etc. It just helps me focus and life b
