    I think many subscribe to this philosophy: https://distantprovince.by/posts/its-rude-to-show-ai-output-... Your github research/ links are an interesting case of this. On one hand,…

    If you don't mind a paid solution, try DEEPL. I also use Word's built in document translation to good effect.

    IMO, it's not insane at all - I didn't understand this until I moved from developer to executive. Solving the business need has precedence over technical correctness. Satisfying "w…

    Laravel Forge handles auto-deployment on push to master. Or if you want production zero downtime deployments, use Laravel Envoyer.

    This project creates a "compact, machine-optimized format designed for efficient AI parsing rather than human readability" called "Structured Knowledge Format (SKF)". It's not obvi…

    What you describe is more accurately called the "prosperity Gospel", not evangelical Christianity. Mainstream evangelical Christianity doesn't believe anything like what you descri…

    > bunch of goons .. aren't on the up and up What a horrible thing to say. I can't speak for "goons" other than myself, but I have no hidden agenda when I flag the multitude of one-…

    I recently watched a 2 hour congressional committee session, with 5 minute talking points per member. BOTH sides of the aisle used their entire 5 minutes to spout one-sided rhetori…

    Why do you postulate that "most people don't have" this need? I also use AI non-stop throughout my day for similar uses. This feels identical to when I was an early "smart phone" u…
