This is a shallow analysis. Banter doesnt need to be about a transgression or offensive at all. E.g. if you were talking to Armand Duplantis, you could tease him about how easy he …

There is a difference between a service and a good. It doesnt make sense to "own" a massage just the same way it doesnt make sense to "own" spectating a game in person. The video r…

I think you're confusing two different axes. There is a difference between the cache state and the context state. Imagine a conversation with turns X, Y, and Z. When the LLM "reaso…

I hate these overly grand clickbaity statements. AI is a tool. You can use it well. You can use it poorly. "AI Slop" is the category of lazy AI tool usage. It is the same with AI c…

So, if I understand correctly, the consistency model is essentially git. I.e. you have a local copy, makes changes to it, and then when its time to "push" you can get a conflict wh…

With a big changeset, its better to have a brief discussion about how it works / what it needs before you actually actually make a PR. Just big principles high level stuff. This wa…

I have tried SO hard to get rr to work for me, including buying a separate pc just to use it...but it just consistently fails so I've basically abandoned it. Something like this wo…
