What do you define as “class warfare?” Do you agree that the current status-quo hyper-consolidation of wealth our economy has fostered since act least 1972 is already an ongoing type of class warfare? And finally, why do you think class war

I mostly just use LLMs for autocomplete (not chat), but wouldn’t this be fixed by adding a “delete message” button/context option in LLM chat UIs? If you delete the last message from the LLM (so now, you sent the last message), it woul

In the last few years I've definitely learned I get some sort of "release" from practicing/holding handstands and other hand/arm-balancing moves and, later, (less so, but with less weird looks from people) from yoga

I agree in ways, but I think a single global fund is a bit far-reaching and over-centralized, thus prone to corruption. I think it would make sense for, say, the US, EU, and BRICS (with maybe China as a separate entity) to each have open-s

Couldn't you just do this with a regular for loop and a few datatypes/functions? (This pseudocode is an Elm/Haskell/Rust/TypeScript-inspired abomination, but pretty portable to any language...) type Node = { v

I largely agree, but I also think you might want to consider how the existence of LLMs affects our education system. I think this is one of the places they really have the most potential to cause harm, but also perhaps some incredible (huma

If you can self-host or publish a demo of your work that is open-sourced, I find that that really opens the door for a lot of web dev positions, regardless of what particular languages you know and/or what’s in vogue. (Mine would be h

At least on iOS, I've found ScreenZen ( https://www.screenzen.co ) to be pretty ideal. I'll definitely try SpeedBump if they add me to the beta, though. Like SpeedBump, ScreenZen also has a "wait before using addict

I just got a RAV4 Prime (a “plugin hybrid” or PHEV). In EV mode, it has 40 or so miles of range. That’s high enough that I never need to use gas during the week, unless I go to the next city over. It’s also low enough that it can always ful

I’m also a DigitalOcean user, but I prefer managed K8s and don’t think there will ever be a reason to go back to having to deal with host OS things again. I’d rather just pay for my CPU/RAM, and give it Docker images to run, than worry

It seems like something like medical/legal professionals’ annual/otherwise periodic credential exams might make sense in fields where AI is very usable. Basically, we might need to standardize 10-20% of work time being used to “ke

So there were a lot projects listed here, but the one word used to describe the actual work being done by folks at 18F was “technologist” (in the sole bolded phrase of the article). I know what devs do, QA folks do, product owners, scrum
