This feels like the inevitable outcome of the youtube algorithm favouring longer videos.

I can’t think of anything I’d want to add to the context for Elm at least, assuming the standard libraries are already in the model (or can be added via RAG). Gemeni is 2m tokens now and I expect this will grow at least until it’s no longer

No LSP. It honestly doesn’t speed me up any. I already have the standard library memorized, plus some of the common community lib methods (List.Extra) and my typing speed is faster than I can think anyways. I’m thinking the same approach wo

Somewhat related. I built an Elm app all in one file as an experiment and to see if I like it. It's a little over 7k lines and I'm occasionally adding more to it. It's actually pretty straightforward if you're in a langu

Oh wow. Thanks for posting! Samples sound great (on par with eleven by my untrained ear). Will definitely use this.

I recommend John Doe if using eleven labs. Maybe too much variation, but I like it.

What irks me the most about AI is the black box mutability. Give it the same question of reasonable complexity and get a slightly different answer every time. I also dislike mass code generation tools. The code generation is basically just

This is how media has been hacked. When everyone is exaggerating that the sky is falling, we all tune it out, and then it's really hard to convey when the sky truly is falling... resulting in authorities that can get away with pretty m

It's all about attack surface and HTMLs attack surface is huge. HTML in email is strictly unnecessary. Name another popular messaging tool that allows you to craft custom HTML messages. Text, Whatsapp, social posts, Snapchat, etc. The

Security is eliminating attack vectors one at a time. HTML in email is a gigantic hole. We don’t throw up our hands and say “whelp this only solves 90% of issues. Guess we don’t bother.”

by rapind 2y ago
A good start would be ditching HTML in email. Plain text is perfectly suitable for non-marketing emails (and marketing emails are just chaff at this point anyways). I’ll die on this hill.

Just need to ban (make it criminal) to advertise to and track kids. Eliminate the incentives and solve nearly all social media problems with kids overnight (along with most garbage mobile games).

But % “decrease” is just as bad as percent “increase” that OP is railing against. Whereas the inverse of 3x is (1/3)x and still far clearer (three times the size and one third the size). Meanwhile 3x “smaller” is the inverse of 3x “big

Would you recommend vultr for dedicated metal? I’m lazily shopping around for a decent dedicated metal setup, but I need something reasonably reliable.
