An environment variable, or config file variable, that cannot be changed after launch is about the worst possible interface. Why not just have an “ultra^2 think” keyword?

In New Zealand, culturally people generally use dryers only when it is too wet to hang them outside. Dryers are seen as wasteful and destructive. T-shirts last longer but they do not last forever. Quality has gone down substantially.

Nothing any of us have ever done is “from scratch”. Even a carpenter who planted an acorn and waited 80 years to harvest the wood to make a chair probably didn’t mine the iron ore used to make her axe. Here is how you install SDL2 on a Mac

iNaturalist ranks right up there with Wikipedia in importance. It is more than one organisation, but rather a central org + a network of regional organisations. The regional organisation provides a lot of biological technical expertise. Cit

It’s open source under an MIT license, I wouldn’t use Tailwind if it wasn’t open source but there is nothing stopping them from future releases being non-open source. They can’t retroactively pull the license, and most people would just sta

People have a problem and are trying to solve it. We are not all required, nor able, to solve whatever the world’s most urgent problem is today. In this case they are formatting JSON in an easier to read way. It’s not an alternative to CRDT

If workers (i.e. me) choose to use it without it being imposed on them, is that a morally bad thing in your worldview? I was trying to use an obscure CLI tool the other day. Almost no documentation and one wrong argument and I would brick a

It is an unusual list. Along with a list an AI websites it also blocks a handful of instagram, X and Pinterest profiles. It also blocks a number of specific products on Amazon, such as a colouring book that presumably was generated with AI.

JSON Structured Output from OpenAI was released a year after the first LangChain release. I think structured output with schema validation mostly replaces the need for complex prompt frameworks. I do look at the LC source from time to time

This was a good read. I liked the author taking us through the problem and how they solved it step by step.

I ran it here using my phone: https://www.jdoodle.com/c-online-compiler I copied and pasted the code from GitHub (click copy, rather than highlighting and copying). It ran but also outputted the number sequence a few times.

Why did you switch? Price? OSS? Or does LuLu have compelling features?

It is easy to understand the impact this will be in people’s lives. I think within no time it will be modded with motors, maybe salvaged from broken electrical appliances and it will come full circle.

That is really interesting. Pity half of them use a "eval(unescape(escape(x)).replace(/u../g,'')))" with a compressor and decoder function.
