You can sort of achieve that the other way around by starting an incognito session when you put on background music. Haven't worked out how to do that for things with Spotify integrations though.

That last bit doesn't make sense to me — why would it make sense to ban BPA if the BPA-free products are also bad? When the EU banned BPA in receipts, manufactured switched to BPS en masse https://echa.europa.eu/-/

Maybe it's sort of not the same because it's compiled with graalvm and so not trivial to add any arbitrary Java dependency, but the tech that scratches that itch for me is babashka — a proper REPL, because it's a lisp, sensib

Just because it’s dynamically typed, doesn’t mean there aren’t types. Additionally, usage of runtime type enforcement such as malli schemas and core.spec are commonplace.

Unfortunately (IMO), `core.match` in Clojure is a macro provided by a library you have to install, rather than a builtin function as in Scala or Python. It’s a really cool demonstration of the power of lisps, since macros basically let you

Well, yes, obviously. Since we can't predict the future we can't know which wild bets are gonna pay off, the idea is to expose yourself to as many as possible, rather than cut yourself off and say "aha, but that's the hi

I dunno until I learned to swipe on a touchscreen keyboard I was (and still would be) much slower there then with T9. I miss being able to text in my pocket without looking at my phone too...

It’s finally happened, people are typo’ing closure as clojure, instead of the other way around! For the topic at hand isn’t this always a problem with deployment systems? You need to have the secret somewhere after all. In my case I only ev

I think it’s highly dependent on both what kind of place you live and who the delivery driver is. At my place, I live in the Hinterhaus (which, annoyingly is where my buzzer is) up several flights of stairs with no elevator. Additionally, u

In all seriousness, if the director has someone on the shit list, then I don't think there's much that person could directly do to change that (in the short term at least), and suddenly changing one's tune to be sucking up to

I mean as a non American, I think this is one of the most American sites I've seen all week, and do not get the impression that they will particularly mind if it's ambiguous for other people in other countries

In theory to support ollama all you should need to do is be able to change the URL that would otherwise go to OpenAI, and select the model. The only gotcha is that the llama3.2 builds for ollama are currently text only — however they'v

From reading all these messages, I'm curious if an American couldn't try sending a GDPR deletion request by email to some of these organisations. Sure, it only technically applies to European citizens , but it applies to them anyw

Or are you just going to read prompt results out loud for 40 minutes, too? I hope not, but we will not take the chance. I did actually attend a talk at a conference a few years ago where someone did this. It wasn't with LLMs, but wit

I find it hard to accept the statement that "[bitcoin] is fundamentally the only hard currency we have ever created". Is it saying that gold back currencies were not created by us, or that gold isn't hard enough? Additionally

The latest Google Pixel phone (you know, the one that Google actually set the price for) appears to cost the exact same as the latest iPhone ($999 for pro, $799 for non-pro). And I would argue against the "less good" bit too. I th

This section really shows where they're coming from: Privatisation, tax cuts, and the curbing of union power fixed important swathes of the UK economy. Crucially, they tackled chronic underinvestment in sectors that had been neglected

I never understood this point of view. It's impossible to predict the future, and it's impossible to predict the complexity of something you've never done before. Given that, estimates can not be useful, other than as a tool
