Can something be broken that never actually worked?

Except there weren't really any mass harassment, rape and death threat, and firing campaigns being coordinated against ordinary people for not sufficiently mourning someone. Most o…

They didn't claim that there were any, just that AGI isn’t a necessary requirement for an application to be world-changing.

I've used Promptfoo for client projects and really enjoyed it once I got my head around it.

This makes me want to build agents in Elixir now

Agents don't typically, and any LLM they're calling is likely hosted remotely.

That doesn't negate what OP was saying at all, the better support in Python isn't for "running ML/AI code" but in things like agent frameworks, observability tools, SDKs, etc. None…

Maybe I've aged out of it or something but the userbase has gotten so much more annoying (and was already annoying when I finally started using it around 2010) over the last severa…

And destroying the rest of their economy to do it

It’s like a whole post of all the things you’re not supposed to do with Python, nice.

Also years for both for me (I probably read and watched them in 2003), but your impression of the two is the exact same as mine.

Battle Royale was a novel before it was a movie, and it's a much better novel than movie.

No, doping is a specific set of techniques that use proteins (EPO) or specially extracted blood to boost the red blood cell count in the blood, increasing oxygen carrying capacity.…

tbf I've never seen expiration dates on fresh produce in the US. Maybe some packaged salads and things (and it's never accurate, of course), but nothing fresh.

And of course, not just frequency of incoming action potentials, but processes within the receiving cell, in the cell membrane, at the site of the synapse, and between the cell and…

We don't really know much about how memories are formed, the short-term and long-term divisions come from cognitive psychology and we don't have (from what I remember from my neuro…

None of which are causal associations. Given the millennia-long history of cannabis use to self-medicate, and lack of evidence (not without trying!) for a biological mechanism of a…

I have a graduate degree in neuroscience, worked with colleagues who focused on psychopharmacology for their research, and many of my friends and neighbors are biologists of variou…

I can't even fathom the utter despair of losing a child, and then beyond that to be hounded, "investigated," and arrested for it, constantly forced to relive the worst moment of yo…

If I never have to hear from finance dorks pretending to be engineers tarnishing the title "bro" right this second it wouldn't be soon enough.

This gives me heart. I like writing about technical things, but I also like writing about personal things, concerts I went to, whatever. I'm a whole person, and I never liked the p…

I think it just depends on how you're able to access and use your notes. For me, backlinks were a life-saver because it's important to model relationships between individual notes.…

This is something that Obsidian, Tana, Roam, LogSeq, and a few others actually excel at. I try to keep my organization minimal or at least static, and backlinks (plus templates, or…

Obsidian isn’t opinionated on the system you use, but it’s trivial to implement a zettelkasten system - I’ve been using a modified one (inspired by Andy Matuschak’s evergreen notes…
