I'm uneducated on how distillation works at more than a basic level so forgive me if this is a stupid question. Isn't "distillation" of another provider's model exactly how these m…

> To tell the truth: I do not even know how to use the pen. I have never needed to do this in my life. I truly do not understand how one could have T1D for 27 years and still be al…

"Have done this" implies Slate has delivered even one vehicle. They have not. I hope Slate succeeds, but let's not get caught up in the preorder hype.

I switched from the Roku ecosystem to Nvidia Shield about a year ago because of Roku’s increasingly user hostile ad and tracking decisions and have been pretty happy with it. Andro…

I would guess that the number of people listening to this media on anything higher quality than the built-in speakers on a 65-inch TV is minuscule. They’re optimizing for sound on …

Agreed. After using ChatGPT at all Siri is absolutely frustrating. Example from a couple days ago: Me, in the shower so not able to type: "Hey Siri, add 1.5 inch brad nails to my l…

Backend with a lot of existing code that's still in .Net Framework using tech like WCF and Windows Services. I could get away with doing dev directly on the Mac if I was _only_ wor…

I'm one of that tiny percentage, but all of my development is done by remoting into a cloud Windows VM. I tried directly coding on the Mac when I first got it, but quickly gave up …

I've had the same experience. Played multiple times, once for almost a year. The only thing that kept me playing that long was the good group of people on voice comms. I quit for t…

Pure speculation: With so many subs now private, they're hitting a performance wall searching for enough content to fill the front page. If I'm logged in and go to the site root, i…

I saw a web comic the other day that I think was right on the nose. Something along the lines of: "AI will eat all of the developer jobs!!!" "Nah. AI expects exact, well-reasoned r…

I've been thinking of doing this exact thing, although with a smaller 10x12 single-level shed, just because I want to learn timber framing. Would you do it again? Any specific book…

At one point you were talking about the possibility of updating Start Small Stay Small. Just curious if that's still on the table?

I just wanted to thank you for this. This is the most succinct and easy-to-understand-for-non-investors explanation of the concept I've seen and now I think I finally understand it…

Not advocating for this point of view, but I think the thinking goes that even if wasn't any less concentrated in 2017 vs. now, the pandemic provided a lot of opportunity for price…

At least half of people are involved in the housing market, not just immediate buyers. Because you’d better believe if residential property prices skyrocket, so will rental rates.

They benefit by preventing easy access to an export of the user’s data that could then be importied into a competitor’s software, thereby (presumably) locking in a non-trivial numb…

Preface: This is an honest question, not an attempt to start a "which language is better" war. I'm proficient in C#. I haven't yet encountered any problems I can't solve with C# an…

Our church has taken as many precautions as we can while still remaining open for in-person services. * Offering live streaming. * Reducing capacity for services to one-quarter cap…
