    Tax the rich. And by that I mean people who "earn" their wealth through mechanisms that aren't direct income. Heck, give an exception to the tax on the first million of non-income …

    The actual education can be useful. I dont think my masters degree has ever landed me job. But I would not have been able to deliver many of the things that got me a leadership pos…

    Its funny because Kagi apparently also uses Google, and Microsoft and other threads were complaining about it. It sounds like they use everything to give their subscribers good res…

    If they notice. Again, a printed version of the contract that is signed has no evidence of the attack. The attack is on getting your legal LLM to hallucinate specific things of wha…

    Like usual the answer is it made it easy to use. Think Linux and Windows. You have a customized Linux setup kind of agent. Open claw is the easy install wizard assisted version of …

    Cause it was written by AI.the entire mid section is classic AI slop writing. Repeating the same points and numbers over and over, repackaging the same idea with "key takeaway" and…

    I feel like you missed the first third of this article that was quite clear they are not saying there are no uses cases. They are saying there doesn't seem to be an economic model …

    As the article itself describes, programs that expose kids to fields they might otherwise not have a chance to interact with. A field trip for kids that focuses on creating more pe…

    I think the argument the poster is making is as root cause analysis. The root cause of the messenger failing was the missing nail. Sure it could have been many other things, but in…

    Co-routines can be a nebulous sort of concept because it means different things in different places and not all of them have the same features. But some of the big points are: - He…

    I think you are misapplying that paper? This as a library is the "batteries" to C++'s no-batteries-included standard library which does not implement asynchronous coroutines at all…

    I mean yea, I read this as an idiom for "went to do something wholly unrelated to programming". Not as "I literally am going to begin farming". Like I would read anything from "res…

    To be fair, I suspect they meant it in a more idiomatic sense. Not that they literally went farming. Sort of like when one says "water under the bridge" they aren't commenting on b…
