Amazed and horrified at the same time.

Wow. Somehow I feel my software creds just went by a notch by the mere existence of these files.

One of the thorniest conversions was the session.ts file, which was over 30,000 lines of TypeScript that touched all aspects of the runtime. This can’t be real. Single file with 30K lines? Which human being is working on it and ho

Haven’t Australians just moved to US - Keith Urban, Chris Hemsworth, Russel Crowe, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and the list goes on … it’s not the same way as Japanese’s or Korean output, because English as the native language makes the tr

I am going to say the question is the wrong way to look at this. People behave differently in different situations. While I am very conflicted like the GP about this specific case. I don’t think it’s as simple as - don’t do anything you won

I have come to the conclusion recently after trying to use computers as a hobby for years. Hobby coding, games, shows … anything with a screen just doesn’t provide the relief I need. Just takes a lot of time and leaves with a feeling of exh

I think they are smart enough to take advantage of things. Hard work or not doesn’t matter. For example, assessing that their home in California is worth way more than they make out of it and seeking out a cheaper place to convert that “luc

I think they are more lucky than privileged. Multiple IPO stock options, both well educated and high paying jobs and shared interests. They seem to have hit right timings multiple times. Things compound.

Are my eyes deceiving me or is Mapbox not participating as an event sponsor? It's been a while, but wasn't mapbox's existence completely relied on OSM?

Fair point. I might be misreading based on my hopes :/

The reliance on Deepseek and Kimi as the benchmarks from every chip maker from NVIDIA to OpenAI is a good tell of where things are heading. In the next couple of years, hopefully we will have systems at home for everyday use and corporation

Pretty much my baseline as well. Good example how experiences shape our thinking.

It’s funny what “tiny” means for different people depending on their background. I expected it to be under an MB as well and was surprised by 6MB.

There is an episode in Elementary that involves the Horseshoe, its extraction and conservation. It is just a regular episode, but the visual presentation of the extraction was fascinating. I hope they are real. :)

With web search and tool call a decent current generation model at the speed of the chatjimmy could do a lot. People saying it would be out of date are missing the point. It’s not going to make much sense for frontier companies that’s chasi

I don’t think it’s that fairness. It’s about - what’s a fair amount of punishment? Since society has created the laws and laid down mechanisms to punish wrongs, each person then individually deciding to punish the person is unfair in a civi

Why does this library get posted here, what feels like every month? I remember it seeing at least twice before.

Someone pointed it out to me that, if a person does something bad and faces the consequences by law, then that should be the end of it. Applying a personal punishment individually like avoiding anything they have involved in, is pointless o

I so want to agree. I have been a Linux user for almost 2 decades now and I still can’t close apps by throwing my mouse on the right top corner and clicking. It works on “KDE apps” and but not on Firefox so I am guessing GTK apps. The idea

That’s in utterly bad taste. Not sure what offended you. But there is no need to call in Muslims and mosques in this conversation.

From down south of India - the Proto Tamil language is the basis for modern Tamil, Malayalam and others. We still have Sanskrit being used by Temple priests. One of changes in the last decade is - Tamilnadu finally has temples with priests

I feel the same way. One of my client insists it’s amazing as a marketing tool, helps go through notifications, draft personalized emails..etc., He asks for user metrics from Telegram and gets report…etc., But I am very conflicted. How do y

Hello everyone. I am really not sure what I was ranting about yesterday. I have some bones to pick with the system. The crux of it is - it’s not a technological miracle. It’s the government’s will that makes the system function. It’s good f

Thanks for the additional info. But I want to clarify one thing - I didn’t say anything about cash being a better choice. Both the comments to my response are making it out to be a cash vs digital thing. I am not sure why. Next, NPCI is a P

Fair enough. I am not knowledgeable enough to debate if it’s a net negative or positive. But “savings and efficiency” also has a negative side where people have lost life savings and bank accounts emptied in a matter of minutes. UPI doesn’t

I would guess NPCI being a private body with transaction charges being borne by the Indian government is a net negative in the long run. It costs everyone. NEFT and RTGS on the other hand is RBI regulated with clear pricing and costs only t
