Yeah, more valuable than the comments I came to read (even if those are interesting too!)

I downloaded Hermes CLI previously. I didn't like that the default personality was "anime girl". While I like the idea of agent memory I worry it becomes less portable, and it's fu…

This is fun, though I will note that when traveling, my new location didn't factor in, and all my locations were based on my initial locale. Might be me being a firefox user. Edit,…

Just like how many companies have methods available to them to remove bad glassdoor reviews (or make fake 5-star reviews), this system is even more rife for abuse.

This article seems to exist in a weird middle ground of both going too far, and not going far enough. Private bathing is a modern luxury few people would be willing to give up, but…

I think the counter-point to that would be that if you're writing infrastructure as code, and your architects are using a specific language anyways (Python in this case), it makes …

My counterpoint would be: If you can write data visualizations with code, why not write diagrams too?

I've flown with airlines before where there was a cascading delay due to a "plane deficit" at the terminal (not the technical term, that's my own). Not to say it's always uptime, b…

By that logic, any app that provides privacy from governments spying is a criminal enterprise.

I imagine the use-case for low-code tools is when your ratio of "business experts" heavily outweighs programmers, and the cost of inefficient dev processes/tech debt is less than t…

I don't want to diminish how interesting the path is, but in my experience, it's still too far out of the way and too purpose-driven to have the organic spontaneity of a good third…

Perhaps not a joke, but in terms of how arbitrary social media banning is, I would consider this site a sign of "the times".

This is one job I am actually hopeful will be fully automated. I've heard before that the people doing this 'tween' frames make less than minimum wage on contract. That being said,…

Speaking what might be obvious, but I would love a social media experience optimized in a similar way to this: Least amount of time & attention spent on the platform while facilita…

No, just agitated a genocide campaign against minorities in Myanmar: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-faceb... Morality aside, I do like the open source work …

The politics of who does vs doesn't make the cut sounds difficult to manage. I think an individualist model makes sense, or barring that, a group Patreon (i.e. a music label instea…

Yeah, it's very effective to be altruistic to news agencies for that good PR.

Yeah, just because OpenAI has gotten away with using open source ideology for regulatory capture in the AI space, but that doesn't mean they can get away with it in the intellectua…

I'm not a gamedev, but I am hoping one of the actionable things from this situation is a call to action from the gaming community to put together more open-source game engine platf…

I'm not privy to the news on this particular fact, but the fact is that Ketamine IS used medically as an anti-depressant now, just at far below the dosage range to get "high". So i…

...for the global middle class? Maybe. For the world as a whole? Definite differences. It just seems like a super jaded "kids these days" thing to hate on them for consuming easily…

Yeah. The title is a misdirect. The unspoken promise of the article that this is about a more cost-effective/practical/efficient process of commuting.

I'm neither European nor do I have to deal with their standards, but this seems like a false equivocation. Physical Engineering standards serve a different purpose than software st…

When google sends me to a website, I can at least judge the credibility of a website. When ChatGPT tells me something, I have no idea if it's paraphrasing information gathered from…

New business idea: Mug the fake ambulance drivers.
