Taking the lack of ability to identify good AI fiction as evidence that there is good AI fiction is absurd, because it means that there is no evidence which could ever point to the…

If a job is well-paying, there will always be many people going into it for the money. High paying and only people who love it do it are pretty much incompatible.

I do not understand why people who get serious about it want so badly for it to be called table tennis. Ping pong is a way more fun name, and table tennis just seems to make it out…

I think people get distracted by the "percentage of revenue paid to musicians" thing, when the bigger reason streaming pays out so little to artists is that people pay $10-$15 per …

> They are indicted in federal court… what kind of mindless ideologue thinks this was just a whim for giggles? It is well-known that the bar for securing an indictment is very low.…

Good to know, thanks for reporting back

This would require LLMs being good at knowing when they are doing a bad job, which they are still terrible at. With a good testing and verification harness set up, sure, then it co…

Unfortunately I do not know, I haven’t done anything to configure this as far as I am aware. I am on macOS.

AFAICT Backblaze does back up .git directories. I have many repos backed up. The .git directory is hidden by default in the web UI (along with all other hidden files), but there is…

Yes, I agree with you, I think that regulation is needed here and that this was a dumb thing to say. I'm just saying that my reaction to Zuckerberg saying that people must love his…

> Can you imagine saying the same thing about oxycodone or cigarettes? No, but unfortunately I can very easily imagine people saying it, just like the people who made loads of mone…

Prod in this context doesn't refer to one person's website for their personal project. It refers to an environment where downtime has consequences, generally one that multiple peop…

The "this isn't new it's always been happening" talk is disingenuous and incorrect. Yes, there has been some evidence of insider trading over the previous years. However, the scope…

The point of the metaphor is not to say "spending time is mechanically similar to putting things in a container". It is to look at spending time from a new angle, and see if it hel…

> it seems more like a downstream consequence of the fact that there’s no real innovation anymore This doesn't sound right to me. We are currently getting smacked upside the head b…

No, because the function of code is distinct from the implementation of the code. With software, something that is functionally identical can be created with a different underlying…

Will you elaborate on the “indefensibly bad legislation”?

This is just unrealistic day dreaming. You can go be in a field picking produce for work - we have a shortage of these laborers. Most people don’t actually want to do that, they wa…

This sounds very interesting, could you elaborate on your methods and tools?

As a teenager I worked at a company that rented rafts for a short trip down a river. We’d take the rafts from the customers at the end and truck them back up to the start. As they …

I pay for Kagi to get better search results. Lately, I’ve felt that Kagi’s search has been just as full of low-information and AI generated results as Google. I’ve been wondering w…

> it remains structurally constrained by separation of powers, federalism, and independent courts and media, features that fascist regimes systematically dismantle. But the Trump a…

The program perhaps most responsible for the renewed interest in the terminal, Claude Code, is made with React. Life moves pretty fast.

What models are you all using with Pi? How much are you paying on monthly or weekly basis for your usage? I'm very interested in it, but my budget is constrained and the usage gran…

I really wish they were called lessons instead of skills. It makes way more sense and prevents the overloading of the term "skill".
