My health

If you are serious about health tracking, get a device that specializes in that and knows what they are doing -- get a polar. They publish papers on the science behind their techno…

> I would consider this a hobby because it costs me money and I get no value out of it outside of the act. I LOLd very hard at that one, thanks. Very relatable. A hobby of mine is …

A hobby is something you enjoy the process of doing, not just the end result. Everybody likes a clean home, but cleaning is rarely a hobby. LLMs expedite achieving the end result. …

I used to read their blog regularly because it had lots of interesting technical details. Lately, though, there’s less of that, and I can’t quite put my finger on what changed. My …

So this wallet thing is an identity, so when I have to use it on various sites then they effectively don't need cookies anymore to track me?

They don't want models to become commodities. Then people won't pay them.

Oh cry me a river. You went full tilt ahead scrambling before safeguards were set up and now want to set up safeguards protect your models from commoditization. Now that you've got…

Some of the code bases I have at work are legacy spaghetti -- hard to reason about. I too employ the prompt and pray strategy and then see if CI fails. I can only be surgical where…

It really depends on th SDLC of the codebase. I've sat in the park with a pad and pen and wrote down ideas for a small-ish utility that had both a DB and some low level systems int…

The thing is, AI is a productivity boost but staff drive all the productivity. The catch 22 is AI is expensive so in order to provide it to everyone they need to reduce staffing. T…

For my team to re-work fragile, complex parts of the system we need to push back at product from shipping "features." Product does not see reliability as a feature they can adverti…

$2k or $40k? One of those is not "self host."

Your TB stories made me recall my (fond) TB stories. I came from a country that requires tuberculosis vaccines as a school-entry requirement. I have the vaccine and antibodies. The…

Agreed. Especially since there is similar functionality for explicit tracks

Great concept but I did not have a ton of fun playing after the novelty wore off after a few minutes. It would've been more fun if time stood still and I had the opportunity to pla…

ANES? Like the homophone to anus?

Good point. I've (even with agents) never made more than like 5 PRs in one day internal to a company and if I have they typically included accompanying proto or submodule changes. …

I get a lot of nostalgia and initial interest in these types of phones. But I always talk myself out of it because, with self control, my current phone is just as good plus it's on…

_dont create benchmarks that will incentivize ai labs to optimize towards... Especially ones like battle royal!_

lmao excellent reference! While this is poking fun at the block chain hype a bit, a shocking amount of (good) software engs don't know good security practices. I'd be interested to…

Given how many critical systems software touches these days, I am surprised that there they are not licensed. Imagine if civil engineers can just go building shit as minimum viable…

Do you have any resources on hardware necessary for running models and tweaks? I see you mention 2x 3090 and I wanted to do more search on what hardware is satisfactory for what mo…
