Having a storied history, culture, and customs go beyond simple birthright citizenship and xenophobic behavior to enforce said culture and sense of identity. The US, for all its faults, exemplifies how unnecessary it is to rely solely on wh

I've been writing Elixir for ~12 years now, and I also don't think pattern matching is what prevents types errors, I believe it's more foundational than that. The biggest advantage in this regard is that Elixir (and Erlang) o

They can't even serve papers because they're being relentlessly harassed by Police who have immediately banned them from serving them. In part 2, cops even verify the court case and he has a process server-- but they just refuse t

I’ve watched both videos by RecklessBen (Part 2 is on his patreon, and apparently will be made public when he has Part 3 ready)… The videos are damning of the behavior by Brick and Minifigs, the two owners who took over the store in Kaiser,

Planting drugs would be wildly easier, both logistically and conveniently. Gold bars have got to be among the least easy ways to manufacture evidence to throw someone behind bars. Hell it could even easily explain the gold bars… There’s zer

They’ll likely have to buy several of these, in different colors, and agree to sell them back to Ferrari at a massive loss… only for Ferrari to repeat the process over and over. The shenanigans manufacturers like Ferrari and Porsche are all

You’re developing that so it would be nice to have the disclosure. Additionally, I cannot find any obvious examples of what it does, or how it possible relates, and none of the sections seem to offer anything even resembling an example. The

The west needs to combat it by using subsidies and regulations to “spray and pray,” to a large degree. Just as China has… The problem with the occident, at the moment, is that corporations use the incentives to raise margins and not to inno

Damn do I feel the UI changes being a pain point. It’s a near constant regression in my workflows. “Multiple agents” got destroyed recently, and the new interface for it some sort of command isn’t as good or reliable. Then you’ve got modals

Having approximately $44 billion in cash on hand is not a massive cash reserve for any company with the market cap of Tesla ($1.3 trillion). Even less so when you realize how capital intensive its current car and non-existent robot business

I don’t think that’s entirely true, as someone else noted Grok has been forcefully pushed the other direction. GPT curses up a storm when I talk to it, and all I had to do was tell it I think it’s fucking weird when people don’t use profani

Damn that’s wild to me, because Gmail absolutely refuses to send things to spam despite me incessantly marking them as spam. I honestly assumed that everyone had a rotten time with Gmail spam filtering but I guess it’s just a me problem. I

I’m not sure it’s useful for negotiating, the capex to build it was surely orders of magnitude more than it would cost to just use one of the other frontier models. It’s like someone negotiating by saying, “I’ll waste even MORE money to bui

Ha! I normally wouldn’t find it quite so hilarious, but it’s a stylistically pixelated image. There’s just too much irony packed in there to not chuckle.

I have been on the fence if I think composer is useful, but the speed argument is one I hadn’t really considered. I use cursor with Opus almost exclusively but the other day I tried using OpenCode locally with a 6-bit quantized version of Q

I totally agree with the sentiment but from what I can tell, I’d say they tend happen immediately before or after markets open and close. Essentially, and to their maximum, screwing absolutely everyone who isn’t in the clique from partici

While I agree with the sentiment, and even had the same fears, I think about it differently now… The existing megacorps have huge swaths of infrastructure, expenses, and requirements that require massive amounts of capex to maintain. Even i

I don't think Apple just stumbled into it, and while I totally agree that Apple is killing it with their unified memory, I think we're going to see a pivot from NVidia and AMD. The biggest reason, I think, is: OpenAI has committed

It depends on what you mean, do you mean both gross and net? Just one of the two? Gross margin of zero would be mean you sell at exactly the cost to produce. Net margin of zero means you cover all your expenses including COGS. The only real

I am not surprised by this, and am glad to see a test like this. One thing that keeps popping up for me when using LLMs is the lack of actual understanding. I write Elixir primarily and I can say without a doubt, that none of the frontier m

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately… For years this has been said, and for most of us isn’t something we’ve been able to experience until recently. Yet, now we can see how chatbots have made sane folks lose their minds, by simply bei

I follow, and am followed by, folks who use Blacksky and interact with them regularly. I have had zero issue with this, at any point. As Paul (the CTO of Bluesky) said in a sibling comment this would be a very serious bug. FWIW— I have also

I’ve not kept up with Intel in a while, but one thing that stood out to me is these are all E cores— meaning no hyperthreading. Is something like this competitive, or preferred, in certain applications? Also does anyone know if there have b

I could be doing something wrong, but I have not had any success with one shot feature implementations for any of the current models. There are always weird quirks, undesired behaviors, bad practices, or just egregiously broken implementa

WWII didn’t start overnight. The Sturmabteilung (SA), also known as “The Brownshirts,” have a strong similarity to what we’re seeing with ICE and CBP. The SA were Hitler’s enforcers before the SS, during the 1920s and early 1930s. They were

I think we’re at the peak, or close to it for these memory shenanigans. OpenAI who is largely responsible for the shortage, just doesn’t have the capital to pay for it. It’s only a matter of time before chickens come home to roost and the b

I’m not sure I get why this is better. Something like Tailscale makes it trivial to connect to your own machines and is likely more secure than this will be. Tailscale even has a free plan these days. Combine that with something like this t

Ah! Thanks for explaining that. I totally keep forgetting, to my own detriment, libghostty exists. It’s mighty cool to see it being used more and more to build cool new terminals (like yours and the mobile terminal that showed up here the o
