It's mostly just annoying (for now). If you travel a lot it can amount to a couple hours extra per trip if you're unlucky. But the bad part is that it's extrajudicial punishment/re…

So I have a pg table of requests where I want a composite key of two columns `(A, B)` where column A should be unique if column B is not null. A is a timestamp, B is just a flag fo…

Anyone have any good literature on alert fatigue as a general concept in design?

Me and my wife made something very similar ( https://nativi.sh/ ). I find it's a really good use case for LLMs to actually help you learn rather than doing everything for you. Also…

It was a big miss calling them "prompt engineers" and not robopsychologists.

What if we make it accomplish 20% less but spend 10% more money?

Thanks for the clarification. I expected it worked like that but couldn't find it spelled out after a brief perusal of the docs.

I have file A that's in two places and I run this. I modify A_0. Does this modify A_1 as well or just kind of reify the new state of A_0 while leaving A_1 untouched?

I was mostly just joking about him going off and running for Ohio governor. It does give "send the defeated noble to the frontier" vibes.

That's what happened to Vivek.

As far as I know there's not really LLMs good enough that can run locally. Maybe with the R1 improvements and future derivative work that'll change. We use about 4-6 calls per impr…
