Are you truly so confident that people in those countries don’t feel optimistic that their children will have better opportunities than their parents did? I’d be shocked if they didn’t feel that, and even more shocked if it didn’t end up be

Or how about this: can you take a photograph of a shadow?

Is a silhouette not a "picture"? Perhaps "picture" isn't the best term to quibble over, since it is quite broad (arguably its primary use is referring to paintings or drawings). But if we instead quibble over the te

Yes, although OpenCode works great with official Claude API keys that are on normal API pricing. What Anthropic blocked is using OpenCode with the Claude "individual plans" (like the $20/month Pro or $100/month Max plan)

I agree that planning has diminishing returns, yet simultaneously nearly every software project I’ve been part of has been under-planned and ended up worse off for it.

I went to the first couple of Amazon Go stores in San Francisco several times. I've also been to our local Go store a few times in LA County. The experience has always been perfectly fine, and the invoices always correct. It's bas

Interestingly, we only went to our local Amazon Fresh store a handful of times but it was always a perfectly fine experience. It seemed reasonably clean, well-stocked, and well-organized. Other than those new self-checkout shopping carts (w

Might as well choose a language with a much better type system than go, given how beneficial quick feedback loops are to LLM code generation.

Great! I scanned the page when I posted that comment, so I either missed it or they were just about to update it.

Yeah, I picked them up along with some AA lithium (non-rechargeable) batteries. I also didn't know those batteries existed until recently. I knew there were rechargeable lithium AAs with a charge plug and charging circuitry built into

It sounds like the external dimensions are going to be exactly the same or nearly so. I'm hoping the battery compartment is also identical so that third-party mounting and extended battery packs continue to work. I recently picked up a

You explicitly applied it to this investigation, saying the investigation itself was not bad. If you intend to weaken your claim to "not all conceivable investigations of election fraud are bad," then yes, I agree, but that's

by tshaddox 9mo ago
You said "The badness comes from inappropriate access to the data, not trying to find evidence of fraud." I disagree. I think that a blatantly bad faith partisan investigation demanded by a politician who stands for gain and execu

Sure, and my point is that we shouldn't apologize for people deliberately "investigating" bogus allegations on the grounds that investigating legitimate allegations is a good thing.

by tshaddox 9mo ago
How many allegations of fraud need to be taken to court and dismissed before it’s no longer conceivable that this is a good faith non-partisan search for evidence of fraud?

It seems to me that objective moral truths would exist even if humans (and any other moral agents) went extinct, in the same way as basic objective physical truths. Are you talking instead about the quest to discover moral truths, or perhap

Yep. I wish they would just completely get rid of the concept of a self-serve App Store and go fully into the video game console model where there’s a much smaller library of much more strongly vetted third party software available. It woul

Does it really take "courage" to speak up in cases like this? If anything, it's just as insulting to point out to an adult that playing loud audio in a crowded public place is inappropriate, as if they didn't know that!

That's decent pixel density considering the size of the monitor. A 32" 4K monitor has slightly higher PPI at around 138.
