No I am not, you took the opposite of the intended meaning. I'm saying the risk aspect is similar, but I take issue with equating (product) investment and gambling, since one has a potential to create, and the other just shifts money a

Then aren't most forms of investment based on a "gambler's argument"? A risky investment is obviously akin to gambling, but to get things built and make a profit you have no other choice.

I remember periods of time when GitHub was down every few weeks, my impression is that it's become more stable over the years.

I don't even travel that much, and still have trouble. Tethering at the local library or coffee shops is hit or miss, everything slows down during storms, etc.

I ran headscale for a while and can confirm local devices could still chat when the internet went down.

I'd agree with you in the past, when KiCAD didn't work as nicely with git. And for a professional project, I'd still at least keep snapshots of every milestone with "compiled" output. But for a hobby project I reall

It's not quite the same though, when I search Google I'm generally directed to the source (though the summary box stuff might cross the line a bit). With AI, copyrighted material is often not obvious to the end user, so I don&#x27

You don't have to agree with it, but I think it's fair to parrot a take from people who have invested a lot of time and effort into considering why free software is good. The linked page has a clear explanation for why one might c

I get pretty good results with Claude code, Codex, and to a lesser extend Jules. It can navigate a large codebase and get me started on a feature in a part of the code I'm not familiar with, and do a pretty good job of summarizing comp

I am aware, I live in Taiwan. While TSMC engineers can be poached "move between countries freely" is not true because moving from China to Taiwan is not so easy. The key word you mention is "replicating." They'll be

That's a very pessimistic take, or optimistic I guess, depending on perspective. Looking at the Chinese semiconductor development trajectory, and considering that TSMC won't be sitting on their hands, "within a decade" s

Wait and see, then change the policy based on what actually happens. I sort of doubt that all of a sudden there's going to be tons of people wanting to make complex AI contributions to LLVM, but if there are just ban them at that point

It doesn't really affect your point, but biking 25 miles is going to burn more than 400 calories. Probably double or triple that, depending on their weight and the workout intensity.

Deploy to what? Staging on every merged PR (commit to stg), and prod deploy on every commit to main? That sounds reasonable to me, and I've done some variation of it on most projects for the last 10 years or so without issue.

You're right that once prices have gone up, they rarely come back down. But if the price is the same, when you pay cash you're effectively subsidizing credit card reward programs, and lining Visa/Mastercard/issuer pocket

I'm interested to see if that works out, and curious what it means for international cards with lots of perks. I imagine, for example, it wouldn't change anything right away for a Chase Sapphire card issued in the US, but if more

If it's ultimately in the price of goods, then it doesn't cost the consumer nothing, no matter how you spin it. It's just cleverly hidden. I think it's close to impossible to "fix" Visa without government inter

Maybe for running locally? whisper.cpp is nice because you can embed it pretty easily in apps for various targets like iOS, OSX, Android, wasm, etc.

I do a bit of that now, I'll mostly use Claude code at home, and set Jules on some tasks from my phone while exercising. Reviewing code is tedious though, and I don't see it getting too much better.

I learned it ~15 years ago, and when I use it a lot it sticks with my pretty well. But if I go a month or two without writing raw queries I lose anything more advanced than select/update/delete/join. I think I forget it faste

I (almost) don't consider syntax at all when considering a language, just whether it's suitable for the task. The exception is languages with syntax that require a non-standard keyboard.

Many (most?) people I know in the "target audience" want to keep their email+password logins.

There's research (and my own anecdotal evidence) supporting my initial claim, so I don't see how it's an obvious mistake. Do you have anything to back up your point?

It should work, though I haven't actually tried it. That's not a limitation of iOS, just Apple's own syncing app/protocol. LocalSend is basically an http client/server with network device discovery, as far as I know

An aversion or wariness, but I think it's clear that a fear of heights is not entirely learned behavior.

I can't find the article I was thinking of, it was a while ago. I'm pretty sure it was about the visual cliff experiment though: https://www.simplypsychology.org/visual-cliff-experiment.htm... It looks like there

Are you sure? From what I've read, and personally experienced there's some innate fear of heights. Similar to snakes and spiders, it's baked in.

Yeah, this is what I was referring to and is my main use for embedding SVGs. For really simple ones, the size of the icon isn't a whole lot bigger than a CDN/object storage URL. And if you reuse it a couple times, it might even be

I think they were probably aging in caves, and had a large variety of hard and soft cheeses by 1100 or 1200. Fresh cheeses too, like cottage, ricotta, and farmers cheese, which wouldn't have been too salty.
