    Similar to my experience, it works well for small tasks, replacing search (most of the time) and doing alot of boilerplate work. I have one project that is very complex and for thi…

    Perhaps need to semi-randomize the file size? I'm guessing some of the bots have a hard limit to the size of the resource they will download. Many of these are annoying LLM trainin…

    This just moves the issue elsewhere though. I do agree that adding an extra step of having to notarize documents will filter many people. But outside of this if someone is determin…

    Has anyone actually measured this yet? Much of this feels like when they did studies on people who take mushrooms for example feel like they are more productive, but when you actua…

    This is also why I think the current iterations wont converge on any actual type of intelligence. It doesn't operate on the same level as (human) intelligence it's a very path depe…

    Even Google ended up adding more stuff to their homepage in the end. For a long time they tried to keep it super minimal- and it still is, but there's footer links and signed in he…

    Except that nothing is illegal now, Biden showed that with blanket pardons. So for all intents and purposes they will do what they like and Trump can just wipe it clean at the end.…

    This is horrible - I love it. I did forget you could do this, though I'm fairly sure in the case of a browser (at least it used to) this will block the entire UI.

    Goes further than that too, suppose the one working on the wooden part is slow and the one on the metal part is faster. And surely the value of one part or another is also differen…

    I actually think out of any language async/await makes the most sense for javascript. In the first example: there is no such thing as a blocking sleep in javascript. What people us…

    fsync doesn't work here right because unix pipes are in memory? I've had luck elsewhere with nodejs and WriteableStreams that refuse to flush their buffers before a process.exit() …

    I think at this point I'd rather pay for a desktop browser, something with blocking baked in at compile time. It would be such a QoL improvement that it's worth paying a yearly sub…

    My comment was just on the standard behavior. Not sure when it comes to observables, probably comes down to how you are implementing it. But in general it's impossible to cancel a …

    It's also unintuitive in the sense that if you are racing you usually want to discard/stop the other Promises that didn't finish in time. But the only real way to do this is to pas…

    The contract is payable, i.e. will accept ether as payment but doesn't actually do anything. From a glance looks like the withdrawal function is setup to generate the address of th…

    Isn't this somewhat better, at least when it fails it's in a single place? As someone using Kafka, I'd like to know what the (good) alternatives are if you have suggestions.

    Thanks for the examples, I'm working on a TypeScript code base at the moment and this is fantastic way of adding compile-time typing across many of the basic types I'm using!

    I also don't think this will work for them in the context of the Ripple case they just lost - and decided to not appeal - as this will be referenced as part of Kraken's defense. It…

    Presume this is the sticking point for the companies as well since now they will have to actually manage their drivers to actually ensure they are working and not just gaming it. S…

    Except that it would exclude a raft of non-US citizens then, i.e. any sanctioned country, Coinbase would also need to become registered as an ATS and their current settlement and c…
