Anecdote related to last paragraph...20 or so years ago I drove a then 20 year old truck some guy had cobbled together. It was a real hunk o junk, rusty, the speedometer didn't work, etc. But it did have a new engine and carb, but it

This was exactly the same takeaway I had. I think it's also why so many romance scams are successful. It's super easy to hook all but the most sought after and bothered(beautiful, young people?) with sweet words. Me included. I

Yeah, I came to a similar conclusion, but the wording seems weird. At face value, if someone asks to buy 20k of my product, sending samples seems like an obvious next step?

What a cool, well written article. I'd hardly noticed how long it was until I was nearing the end. Although I never played this and honestly didn't even know it was a thing, it makes me wish more people took time to document his

I'm admittedly a complete LLM noob, so my question might not even make sense. Or it might exist and I haven't found it quite yet. But have they considered pivoting some of said compute to some 'private, secure LLM in a box&#

LI has to be among the worst social media. The amount of constant self aggrandizing and obviously fabricated stories is insane(cue 'that homeless man was my boss!' memes). That said, it's not completely valueless. I keep it

So you are saying that making a claim about math ability by culture, in this case your family's specific culture, is inaccurate. I'm saying the same thing, applied to a wider level.

Thanks, this completely tracks as he's infamous for mispronunciations and mixed idioms. Sadly, even clicking both links and a cursory Google search, nobody really knows where 'Katy bar the door' came from, either.

I've really tried to stop replying to every bait reply, because I don't think long arguments are productive or that we'll reach a middle ground. But this for some reason struck a nerve. I never claimed racism at all? "I

I think I've said this before, but 'free' seems to attract the worst of humanity. When I want to give something away, I list it for some nominal fee like $10, then just tell them to keep it. Because when I used to list thing

Yeah, I wasn't and didn't mean to imply I was too young, late 20s, just wasn't emotionally prepared or 'mature' enough I felt like, at first. Maybe that's normal for everyone. I don't know how 18 year ol

I have a ton myself that my Dad would say but couldn't explain, so I don't use them as much. Two notable examples... 'What do you want, a Dewey button?' as a sarcastic way of saying 'who cares.' He didn't

Spot on. A child will take every annoying habit you don't even know that you have, and put it on full display. It's quite humbling.

I reject that premise. It's completely fine to point out societal norms. Neither were particularly offensive. But assuming a Japanese child will have patience where an American will not is the same weird thought that leads to weird gu

I feel like this article is good, on the verge of great, then makes cultural comments that invalidate the point trying to be made for no real reason. Like the race or location of the parent determines their childhood? The rest is spot on.

Not loving this. It looks like it would walk badly on anything but the softest woods as I don't see any kind of centered tip. Secondly, the head of a screw is by necessity much larger than the body. So you're going to end up dri

It depends. In short, in that workflow, yes. But that's normally because I'll think of a song or get one stuck in my head I want to hear, as I don't listen to music all day. You can also multiselect files or folders to open

I must be an even older geezer, as I detest all the late wave music players that became full screen things that load music from everywhere. I organize my mp3s into folders by genre, then named by artist - title. To play one I double click

I loved and hated that ending. To make matters worse, as a small correction, the war didn't break his glasses. He broke them himself by bending over after sitting to read. Talk about regret.
