I've tried a blowtorch and a barbecue, but they're not as good as cast iron. Best results from just spending $15 on a second cast iron.

Article aside, I generally always use the "we" pronoun at work when writing prose. Saying "I" feels too adversarial when talking about negative effects, or too self-aggrandizing wh…

Generating new conjectures is easy. It's generating novel conjectures that's hard.

I said "never called them on their plausible deniability" to mean I never pulled off the veil of the conversation, so there's nothing to talk about in front of a judge. FWIW both t…

The only time I did that, the company I was leaving begged me to take one of their corp laptops with me so I could offer "consulting" to them on the side. I never called them on th…

I'm trying to understand what you mean, because it's not obvious to me at all. If you read LKML you'll see stacked PRs has been the norm for years. I'm assuming you want the `gh st…

The interim policy you're proposing seems to have far different priors. The clearest indication of their stance is that they don't even want bug reports that have AI generate part …

SQL/PGQ (Property Graph Queries) is part of the SQL standard as of 2023. I found this project months ago _because_ they included PGQ in their name, I was searching for PGQ implemen…

Not by name, sure, but it does mention that you're going to be reading the same context into the second model. It specifically refutes your point that you're only reading the small…

Memory is a harness feature, not a model feature. The author is probably only evaluating their own harness with different models, so Claude-Code-specifics like memory aren't part o…

Linked your own project with an "All rights reserved" license? The only thing my company will allow me to do with that software is have AI steal it

I'm not really sure memcached optimizes for operational simplicity. The only time I've run it at scale, it would have low cpu utilization then unexpectedly hit lock contention and …

I also like having long, pointed conversations with LLMs as I review code. Then when I'm done, it's different code, and it has all of my blind spots and knowledge gaps, so I cannot…

> Imagine a big codebase with this somewhere in it: fn processThing(thing: Thing) void { // this function must always be invoked on // a thing that has already been started assert(…

Eh, it's worse than that. The GP comment is repeating a joke derived from an Onion headline about gun control. Where the very poignant message is about political will to make chang…

I've been oncall for a different G service that nearly paged on every error. It used the standard error budget tooling, but on hundreds of user buckets because the engineering arou…

People are quick to point out that induced demand exists - especially people that aren't fond of change. Very broadly speaking, people mis-estimate effect sizes in economics by ord…

I use a PR notifier chrome extension, so I have a badge on the toolbar whenever a PR is waiting on me. I get to them in typically <2 minutes during work hours because I tab over to…

I've had great experiences being managed twice by very humble engineers who've made the transition to EM. Both were sacked within the year by their boss because they didn't play th…

I can while less is running to background that process using the shell, so the shell is clearly not completely gone. I might be misremembering, but I think I just had to rebind in …

If you're following a pipe (such as `kubectl logs | less +F`), is sent to all processes in a pipeline, so it stops less from following and it stops the other process entirely. Then…

Is my adblocker blocking them? I only saw the stack of tars in a coat. Didn't break the article's flow for me.

My current company started on AWS/GCP for the credits. Right now we're on Lambda for the GPU prices and GKE for some webservers that we cba to move. We dual-upload data to s3 and g…
