From their episode description: "What if we told you that the person who started, runs and owns this establishment has legally ensured that it will never be sold, never go public and never acquire another company?" We DESPERATELY

And the discount was never even big enough for me to even consider taking that risk for a moment! $395 new, but then returned and restocked with that sticker and only marked down to $390? Nah. I always wondered who was actually dumb enough

While technically true, the NEMA 5-15R receptacles are rated for use on 20A circuits, and circuits for receptacles are almost always 20A circuits, in modern construction at least. Older builds may not be, of course. That said, if your load

Can confirm, this is an excellent tactic when working with LLMs!

Ok, that makes some sense. I guess I was thinking more about the creative and abstract nature of poetry, the free flowing kind, not so much about rigid structures of meter and rhyme.

A reasoning model is not meant for writing poetry. It's not very useful to evaluate it on such tasks.

Similarly, if you've had LASIK and struggle with halos and starbursts around taillights and headlights, try increasing the brightness of your instrument panel. It will cause your irises to close in response to the brighter light, which

Text on the homepage hero: "Boost Revenue and Reduce Churn with AI-Powered Dunning" Today I learned the word "dunning" -- I'd never heard of it before. Except as the name of one of the researchers after whom the Dun

I thought that at first, but then realized that it is, in fact, correctly a client error: the client erroneously directed a coffee-related request to a server that is, in fact, not meant to service such requests. :-P

They have to handle it anyway. There's nothing in the HTTP specifications that disallows a server from using whatever codes it wants to that aren't specifically specified. There is no "HTTP 527 Server Needs a Nap" but it

Oh, definitely hard disagree with this! I am an engineer because I love it and because it brings me joy, and I love love LOVE things that involve humor and fun within the realm of what is oftentimes just work. It delights me when people can

I don't think this is an apt analogy. Electricity is pulled, not pushed. (Well, I realize it is actually a bit more complicated than that, but for the purposes of this conversation, I think the generalization is sufficient.) If there i

Makes sense! Portability as a core feature is a good reason not to use platform-specific tech.

"pay to feed in the surplus"? In my U.S. context, this sounds surprising: are you saying that sometimes the energy utility CHARGES you money when you feed solar energy to the grid? That sounds... bizarre?

Genuinely, I'm curious to hear from OP if you explored using filesystems that can provide de-duplication, snapshots, versioning, and compression and compared that to the SQLite approach. It would be interesting to get your take on the

You could also employ a different filesystem like ZFS or btrfs in tandem with the symlink-swapping strategy to achieve things like deduplication. Or, once you have deduplication at the filesystem level, just construct a new complete duplic

The notion that generating something "in the style of" a human creator is a violation of copyright is categorically false. Copyright is only infringed when a work is substantially copied. Generating something new but with a simila

In my experience, humans are at least as bad at it as GPT-4, if not far worse . In terms, specifically, of being "factually accurate" and grounded in absolute reality. Humans operate entirely in the probabilistic realm of what

I've been contemplating these exact same thoughts and ideas, and indeed have been very surprised how little exploration there seems to be around these nuances!

Nope. I worked with Flex and it's MXML files extensively. But the parent is talking about E4X, which was an extension to ECMAScript that allowed you to use XML elements inline with JavaScript in a manner VERY similar to how JSX is used

This, imo is a solid argument for "fine then, we're just gonna pull our app and use mobile web exclusively."
