   Very cool. Somehow I missed the idea of flywheels used to store energy. I assumed one that small would peter out in seconds.

   Amazing story, and now the flywheel is living rent free in a steampunk-inspired corner of my brain. What are these called so I can look them up on the net? Like this maybe? https://www.torus.co/torus-flywheel

   I assume you just run everything on prem and have a high speed up/down connection to the Net? Do you have some kind of AWS/Heroku/Azure -type thing running locally or just use something like Apache or what?

    I made a living writing assembler as early as 1986. We used assembler and assembly language interchangeably, even though it’s true that the actual executable software that parses and generates code is called an assembler.

    To me, a more effective way to handle this situation is to convert these requests into a change order. Explain that this is a previously unplanned addition, and give it an estimated cost. Then ask the person requesting it if they want to pa

    I’ve started a number of businesses, about half successful. My worst day in business was better than my best days in middle school.

    Give people an MRI on the way down. Boom. I won’t even charge you for this truly inspiring thought.

    Is this mindreading or do you have direct knowledge of this assertion?

    Damn I love HN. Thanks for clarifying and basically reading my mind. Have bern choosing my next cooktop for the big honking wok burner.

    I have never heard about this before. What exactly would happen to broken code? For example, would it skip the equivalent of the broken source line, or would it stub out a function altogether or what?

    Oh! Very grateful for the correction. I do feel that’s a third-degree burn waiting to happen. Are you saying heat the pain to high, then put on the oil? Doesn’t that splash painfully?

    I don't know much about modern Geekbench scores, but it that chart seems to show that M1s are still pretty good? It appears that M4 is only about 50% faster. Somehow I would expect more like 100% improvement. Flameproof suit donned. Pl

    Same here. Judging from other answers, I wonder if it is because we are not dropping them into hot oil?

    I would love to hear more about what exactly you think will be disruptive. I don’t know the LLM world very well.
