There is a guaranteed cap on how far LLM based AI models can go. Models improve by being trained on better data. LLMs being used to generate millions of lines of sloppy code will s…

A cross between a text MUD and an early 2k browser based RPG. Hoping to incorporate many advanced MMO and LitRPG based features plus complex economic, npc, guild, quest, and crafti…

From what I have been told (specific to the US army): - Enlisted swear oaths to the constitution and President - Officers swear an oath to the constitution I’ve only been told this…

Dark Castle here. DIKU based MUD. Ah the good stuff.

Shameless plug for my JSON/5 parser written in zig: https://github.com/berdon/zig-json There is a std json library as well but the aesthetics weren’t great imo. The specs are quite…

When I accidentally use Google I’m instantly surprised and delirious. The difference in both search quality and advertisements is astounding. Been using Kagi since its beta and I’v…

Mirroring other peoples thoughts. It took me close to 20 years to finally shed the guilt of unfinished software projects. Side projects can just be about having "fun". Just as goin…

I believe Kagi uses most major search indexes as well as its own. Additionally, I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s more interested in LLMs than focusing on search. I think it’s fa…

Matt Colville and MCDM are working on Draw Steel and didn’t Critical Role release a few?

In the US you could just use “zipcode-us”. It’s not ideal though. Otherwise just “city-stateabbr-us” - e.g. “SiouxFalls-SD-US”

Yep, dropbox was a great company until it wasn't. I made their first "unofficial" android client and they "allowed" it for a year or so up until they wanted to sue the pants off me…

Prime is nothing compared to experian. Logging in forces you through a sign up flow for their paid subscription service. Doing nearly anything in the site does.

I’m excited for this - even if right now all I get is “There was an error processing your request.”

I also live in this fear and have specifically communicated it to Vlad in an email before. He gave the same response as one of your other responders - they have no intention of sel…

What? My !bangs work as a prefix to my query. I didn't even know you could append them and have that work.

From what I understand, the medicine available is fairly successful at staving off further disease progression but the normal late stage diagnosis often means it’s far too late. Th…

You’re calling a scientific article unscientific? I think there’s a difference in not liking the direction or application of science and whether something is science or not. Edit: …

I’ve had a gmail account since their first beta. Switching to another provider (Fastmail) took about an hour to run through so my accounts and swap emails out. There was one or two…

Switching to fastmail was surprisingly easy and having control of my own domain means I'll never lose access to my emails - I might just need to switch providers.

Yep. As a developer my life is infinitely better because of Kagi. The product is wonderful, the team is wonderful and responsive - it’s everything I want from a company I pay money…

Have you tried diltiazem for cluster headaches? I got them after coming off of the medicine for heart related issues. Started taking it again and they vanished.

My response is “my hobby is collecting hobbies”. I think it’s more I’m just interested in learning anything and everything. I’ve never heard of a scanner or a daybook. Coincidental…

While I agree with your sentiments, the rude awakening won't occur in college/university as these institutes are also softening their grading and programs. The rude awakening will …

Did my comment come across as "upset"? I pointedly asked if I was being pessimistic.
