OTA = over the air. ie online updates you’d expect of a more polished product

I think you should highlight your exemplary pre-AI writing too.

It seems like inlining futures that aren't holding variables over the await point might solve a large part of these issues?

> Government support won't work for OSS at scale — it's too globally decentralized... We recently received US 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity status. If this is successful in the firs…

I'm not going to comment on the security implications of either situation, but is there a companion piece by the facilities team complaining about the amount of paperwork required …

There are 3 mines on Manhattan; is that correct?

Apologies if this is obvious and I missed it. Does this define a way to store the strings in various languages?

You can have 240V outlets too... at least, a lot of woodworkers seem to install them in their garages. Are they legal in the kitchen?

Would this be effective at smaller volumes? Could it get down to say the size of a washing machine for use at home?

Thanks, that's really interesting. Do they correct for spelling mistakes or internationalised spellings? For example, does `colour` and `color` end up in the same token stream?

I'm probably one of the least educated software engineers on LLMs, so apologies if this is a very naive question. Has anyone done any research into just using words as the tokens r…

My point was more about the original comment is fine from the perspective of an American, but for the rest of the world, it doesn’t really matter if it is USD or rubles - it’s stil…

> charging in rubles is most probably confusing, and that a flat $10 usd/month would be easier As a Brit, I'd rather GBP... Isn't this comment a form of US defaultism?

But what if my battery runs out?

The developers of git will continue to be motivated to contribute to it. (This isn’t specific to Rust, but rather the technical choices of OSS probably aren’t generally putting the…

This is the problem though, right? It’s not one league table of environmental goodness - there are tradeoffs that as an educated consumer are impose to navigate.

I think banning plastic completely in packaging is a much harder ask, as whether it is needed is rather nuanced (if I understand it correctly). For example, it's perfectly possible…

The UK banned single use plastic bags at major supermarkets. We all moaned about it for a few minutes, forgot our reusable bags a couple of times and then got on with it. Even the …

This is a really unhelpful attitude. There are periods of life where buying doesn't make sense and it's financially impossible - landlords provide people with a home at these times…

Why aren’t landlords a good thing? Is it unreasonable for people to provide a service to people seeking it?

I'm not sure how, and maybe some of the coding agents are doing this, but we need to teach the AI to use abstractions, rather than the whole code base for context. We as humans don…

There is a category called "Annie Maunder Open Category", which allows for creative use of generative AI, as long as it is declared, otherwise it is banned. You have to take that s…
