First, thank you in advance for your answer or advice. I love reading all the great content on HN but rarely post. However today I am frustrated. We have business-critical software…

Great write-up. Thank you! I’m contemplating a similar RAG architecture for my engineering firm, but we’re dealing with roughly 20x the data volume (estimating around 9TB of projec…

Asking this question leads me to suspect you have no true curiosity or willingness to learn a new perspective as it's literally a Google away. And then you will reply in another di…

I appreciate the acknowledgement ofthe 'No True Scotsman' trap. It is easy to define a side by its ideals (e.g., 'The Left is for the poor'), but the reality is that both sides muc…

I understand your point that a typical US citizen has options where they work. My point is when all options include wage slavery it's not an actual option. That's it, a false dicho…

This is part of the false dichotomy you are not understanding. It's not actually a valid choice if there are no options. And that is what this is actually about, understanding how …

The battle between the modern 'Left' and 'Right' is pure theater. It’s a false choice designed to keep us arguing over who holds the leash while we remain wage slaves. It would be …

100% they get it because we talk about it all the time, however it doesnt mean they agree but I would say they understand. There is pushback as age increases and social pressure DO…

Great question, and perhaps there is something better out there now since the popularity is rising. We researched thoroughly 3 years ago and at that time they had the best mix of f…

OP here. Parent of 3, ages 12, 15 and 18 navigating this issue irl. Although I believe good parents aren't super rigid on any issue, I feel pretty strongly on this one. It's the pa…

Check out the thelightphone dot com, they have already done an incredible job doing that for you.

About 4 years ago we started noticing it really started improving. What version is she on?

Agree! The wet dry cycle at some point seems almost certain it would cause delamination. I'm surprised those failed bridges aren't more protected, it does seems risky, it seems the…

Where do people refer a "2x4" as a "4x2"? Sincere question. I have heard it, but only in the way of inferring that it was being used in an abnormal or "flat" orientation, such as f…
