Eh. Sooner or later (likely sooner), every project is going to be at least, informed, if not completely written, by an LLM. There’s just too much upside. It’s also very likely that…

> No, that’s ridiculous. Thanks for setting that straight. makes sense (the people that told me this were just a bit to the left of Che Guevara, and have obvious political axes to …

Fair 'nuff. As long as we don't get false positives. They are worse than false negatives, and is what happens, when you just read the markers from the chip. As we know well, lots o…

I was already under the impression that life on Earth has had several "Game Over -Play Again?" periods. I assume that the difference here, is that it went completely to zero, befor…

It's a bit ironic, as New Mexico is absolutely terrible at treating mental health; especially in poor folks. I'll lay odds that it's down near the bottom of the list. I have known …

That’s a very practical approach.

Time sampling isn’t enough. You need to at least look at waveform integrity (which can be approximated, by doing things like looking for harmonics). For example, you may send in a …

Think about it. You need to generate a precise, calibrated, 40GHz signal, transmit it, then precisely measure the returned signal for phase, amplitude, and waveform integrity -at t…

As always, these testers (the affordable ones) are capable of testing continuity, and, I guess, the cable chip report. If you want to test bandwidth, that's a five- or six-figure b…

Some people are very allergic to mushrooms. I wonder if that would extend to this. But it's pretty cool.

I read it as finding the point of maximum effectiveness. The point at which the most is done for the most. Getting to that point can be calculated (in some cases), but I suspect mo…

The modern SV corporate model is: - PRODUCT: The corporation - RESOURCE: The users of the corporate software/hardware (which is actually resource feed) - CUSTOMER: Investors/VC/PE/…

I’m not sure how that’s the opposite of prioritizing, but if I’m wrong, then I’ll happily admit it. We choose our items/workflows/technologies/whatever, so we get the best/most eff…

Basically, prioritization. It’s really that simple. Eschew obfuscation.

Agreed. I write free apps, for people that have no particular motivation to use them, but benefit greatly, when they do (once they figure it out). Also, statistically higher-than-n…

In my work, I have always found that the main "blocker" (I hesitate to use the term "bottleneck"), is human nature. If we design stuff to be used by humans (what I generally do), t…

The Darwin Awards site[0] is full of "victims" that were 100% responsible for their own deaths. > If any of yer ancestor's last words were "Hey, ya'll! Look at this!", then you jes…

OW. That's gonna leave a mark. It sucks that we have this glass-jaw dependency system, which is really the main reason these supply chain attacks work. Really hard to clean up, too…

Eh. I tend to use stock photo stuff. Even easier than AI (and most stockhouses are now using AI, themselves). If it's important to the story, I'll generally generate it, myself (I …

I’m likely to switch to the $100/month sub, but I want to finish this project on the $20 one first, as a “proof of concept.” I think it’s valuable enough to justify the price, and …

> The only way I can maintain my pace of branched trial-and-error is by using claude.ai/chat and manually extricating code fragments to and from my codebase. The human is still the…

This has been my experience. I’ve been working on an app (highly successfully) since February, with the help of an LLM (ChatGPT). It has not been used as an author. Rather, it’s be…

Good name, with The Odyssey out, and all. I guess that you could think of the agents as "footsoldiers," and whatnot. Good luck!

I liked the promise, but the reality has been disappointing. SwiftUI is great for test harnesses and admin utilities, but I won't use it for shipping software. I have one app that …

"Impending"? Has anyone looked at the Business section, lately?
