You’re talking past me for no real reason, mate. That’s precisely the point I’m making. Young Carlos thinks it matters that Anthropic got sued when they can keep flouting the rules anyway, and I disagree: it’s not a fair system until we dit

Fair point, but I think the Pinkertons would be at my door within the hour if I started re-appropriating the art style of Studio Ghibli or Disney for commercial profit.

Doesn't really mean much until individuals can also sacrifice a small percentage of their ARR to completely ignore IP law. I'd take that deal, but until it becomes and option, we have a clearly broken system. Rules for thee; not f

That’s a Pl/Oly mindset rather than a BB/hypertrophy mindset. Totally valid advice in the right context. Long story short, failed reps get much more risky and problematic as the weight you’re lifting approaches your 1RM.

It’s a holiday, so I’ll just pose this as a rhetorical question to you and let the matter rest: What’s your level of confidence that these threads aren’t getting flagged as part of a coordinated effort? Be that a lone MAGA nutter running 20

One of the archive.org links to this story was flagged a few hours after taking off last night. Might’ve been this one? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46361571 I assumed this thread had been axed and manually reapprov

Does his degrowth proposal not seem like the next best option if you believe Pandora’s box is open? Your train of thought makes sense, but relies on the assumption that people and small groups wouldn’t keep tinkering at scale to do bad thin

I volunteered at an archaeology lab run by the state govt a few months ago. Knowing I was a data engineer, one of the archaeologists asked me to take a look at the cataloging system he’d cobbled together on his own: a shared-drive Access da

Speaking as a Dan stan, this one suffered from too much common sense. Turns out making the president making death threats against elected US representatives for well-precedented, completely legal speech is a bad thing — who knew?

Yeah, I really look forward to seeing more research on the ability of these PETase genes to spread. The article touched on it briefly, but it’d be great to have more insight on how much of this is due to HGT vs. something likely to originat

Having hit those first two pain points, I changed my transcode config to 1) run every time, and 2) use a custom bash script as the transcode command. The bash script keeps a plaintext list of files + their modtime and disk size, then only t

Looking at the docs again with fresh eyes, I think you and fulafel are on the money. The specific engine syntaxes are by & large mutually incompatible, but DOT does seem to be the label used for the overall lang as well as the dot-eng

I can see how you got that impression and don’t fault you for it in the slightest, but that’s not accurate. It’s not the language name for all Graphviz syntax; it’s only the syntax for renderings made with the dot engine. Each engine has it

Speaking as a born and raised Houstonian, that’s a completely delusional claim — and you’re believing it credulously because it fulfills a narrative that appeals to your preconceived notions. This article is the spitting definition of drawi

The article is tailing off a well-established historiographic narrative that it cites at the beginning (Will Self) but doesn’t dwell on much. Basically, the common argument is that life WAS emphatically much more brutal in the preindustrial

You write INSERT and SELECT statements for the object types you want to persist. What is your concern re: random types popping up? SQLite springs to mind as a prime offender due to not enforcing column types OOTB, but most dialects have ra

Just to tail off this and explain the business model, searching for “direct primary care” is a good way to find this type of physician. A lot of these smaller shops start under the “DPC” label to build up a client base, charging something l
