I assume it's 'large language and vision model'. But, for sanity's sake, if we insist on putting 'vision' in there, let's at least call them LVLMs!

Easy to say when you don't live next to a road frequented by drivers with ridiculous modified exhausts.

My suggestion would be Process Compose[1]. Just write a simple config telling it what commands to run; it will launch them all and give you a nice TUI to read the stdout and control each process individually. [1] https://github.c

We can sponsor visas for any engineering position. English is the primary language at Monumental, and we have many non-Dutch speakers. However, Dutch is a _useful_ skill to have if you are frequently deployed on construction sites (and we d

Strange definition of 'civil'. I think I'd use 'built by a private company' instead. Great achievement though. Edit: apparently it was unclear to many readers - Concorde was a supersonic civilian aircraft. And, thou

So cool that you were able to make this happen. I backed Pebble on Kickstarter in 2012 and no smartwatch has ever really appealed to me since then. The screen on my original Pebble died a long time ago and I've always wondered whether

They could have easily offered a free license to use the trademark. This project wasn't harming them in the slightest. Demanding the map's removal and implying that he will have to pay to put it back up shows a lack of empathy.

Does Autodesk have any remaining users that actually _enjoy_ being their customer? Their CAD software is unstable and painful (just try installing it...); architects resent their stewardship of Revit[1] and so on. This seems like an existen

It seems like a reasonable title, given that it's what he is arguing through his writing.

It feels like there might still be time for Nix to morph into something that can get mass adoption. But it probably requires some radical technical changes and the controversy around flakes (which are incredibly useful) suggests that the ex

That's a fair position - I'm also not insistent on using an open source product. I'd just prefer that the nature of the product isn't silently changed underneath me. If it's proprietary, and that's clear from t

CRA seemed near-abandoned when I first tried it in 2020. I'm surprised to hear that people are still recommending it as the default. Vite works so well out of the box.

The `use` syntax is interesting - don't recall seeing anything similar before. But I'm struggling to understand how exactly it is executed and a glance at the Gleam docs didn't help. Is the `use` statement blocking (in which

We're not looking for a PM at the moment (probably also not in the near future). We're always open to talented people who have previously been in a team lead-type role and would like to switch back to being an IC. If you want to s
