This wording is inaccurate. It isn't about "modern" heat pumps, its about if another $2-3,000 of electronics and clever injection systems are worth letting the refrigeration cycle …

I graduated in the housing crash which was brutal. The hard part is competing in interviews with people that have more experience when your only lever is that you are cheaper. Jobs…

Models are not rational thinking brains, so the point is moot. Extra prompt text isn’t to make the model smarter, it’s to pull attention towards what you want. “Do code review” is …

Same questions as always for the $token-saver app of the week. 1. We already know the headline cherry picked savings will not be true in real world agentic coding. Why not approach…

My room mates all lived on slightly above minimum wage with part time hours. They were not in abject poverty. They were just plain poor. They still had cars, phones, video games, f…

I'm not sure if the person you replied to edited their comment, but right now, yours looks totally out-of-line and ranting about nothing they brought up.

Its very interesting how people trust LLMs in domains they know little about. Instead, it is my experiences with LLMs in a domain that I know very well that makes me skeptical of t…

HEB operates a similar model to Costco in being more expensive to the customer in a subtle way, through desirability. Their products are so interesting and appetizing that I go in …

To be fair, the vast, vast majority of drivers will go their entire lives without hitting a pedestrian, let alone at speeds that are fatal. Where I live, pedestrians deaths seem to…

I am glad articles like this are finally starting to get some momentum around what I call the LLM magic box industry. From caveman mode to RTK to semantic search and everything in …

You won’t know they are benign unless you plan on a biopsy or surgery for every finding. It’s exactly this reason why we only regularly scan people that have say, known cancer.

I go outside daily in red rural America and this is simply not true. People voted, like they always have and always will, on their wallet and expectations on who will make it a lit…

Article is too opinionated IMO. I enforce CC on my projects because I don’t have the energy to police horrendous commit messages. It’s easy to enforce the CC format on the repo mer…

This is a nice little project but I’m weary of sensationally inaccurate titles for stuff like this and the infamous caveman mode. It doesn’t save 91% of tokens: it reduced in one u…

Why would developers stop licensing? They will just tear the middleware out and release as-is, leaving the community to fill the API gaps.

I’m eager to test this out. I have agent instructions to try to limit the worst of this already, but patterns still sneak through. I have a review agent run after every single edit…

The art looks very rendered, with pixel cleanup in something like photoshop. I was using 3ds Max on my norma PC circa 2001-2002. Game studios should definitely have had 3d studio i…

History is important here. React came at a time when so many frameworks used custom template libraries for variable binding, looping, conditionals, etc. Usually it was some HTML/XM…

None of the 5 places I have worked is this possible, but they are also all highly regulated industries. Firewalls block virtually everything by default.

No way wealth tax covers the debt. It would be more of an asset seizure and forced sale or nationalization of a bunch of businesses and illiquid asset classes. The rich don’t hold …

This should clear the path to the IPO and lead to a VERY profitable payday for those holding OpenAI equity. Millionaires and billionaires will be minted ~one year from now.

Feedback: codex-cli hangs when calling this through the MCP. The semble process even sticks around as a zombie, forever stalled out. No idea why, logs have nothing. When called thr…

Electrek has a long history of going between blind fanboyism and blind hate, the history is all there to peruse. They only changed their tune with the referral program debacle a fe…

Every species molds the world to their desires -- we are just much better at it. Competition and being killed by another species is the only thing that keeps things in check, and e…

I think people forget we are primates and that our roots are very much encoded into our more primitive brain parts. It would be nice (in some definition of that word) if we operate…
