The final example of the DnD statt sheet makes me think whether it's legal to nest s? I.e. can we do Actions ...

You can always ask Codex to fix Claude, issue solved!

> Training AI models can generate enormous carbon emissions Sure, but what I'd really like to see is a graph for how much carbon is generated serving these models globally.

This one caught me completely off guard when opening YouTube the first time on an iPad: Accidentally clicked on a wrong button and got stuck in a "please subscribe to premium" moda…

This is already a problem with things like Mastodon - as soon as you subscribe to some more "spammy" accounts such as news outlets, all the other content is drowned out. So yes, ha…

Picking up your original comment - Markov chains are much better at generating random numbers than either humans or LLMs!

What's really worrying is seeing medical professionals starting to rely on these tools. My wife had a pretty bad cold during pregnancy and our GP proceeded to prescribe her cough s…

I think Mattermost lost a lot of instance admins' trust when they recently decided to update the server to limit access to old messages without good reason. On self-hosted instance…

I was very reluctant about the polars syntax as well initally, but it has grown a lot on me. Pandas syntax is super ergonomic for quick one-off analysis, but it becomes hard to rea…

SQL more elegantly introduces ternary logic in this case, where any comparison with NULL is itself NULL. This is sadly not possible in most languages where a comparison operator mu…

It is implemented using web maps technology ( https://leafletjs.com/ ), similar to e.g. the Google Maps satellite view. The screenshots are then served pre-assembled into quadratic…

Perfect analogy! The cool part is that your model also gives good intuition about the gradient descent part. The springs' forces are the gradients, and the act of the line "snappin…

With some notable exceptions. I'll never love the turbofish [1] for example. [1] https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/ui/parse...

The funny thing is that the original Desktop UI is still in the Android version. Sometimes I'll get jokers/consumables stuck in the desktop's "selected" mode, where the tiny sell/u…

I thought it was only me! This "inverse question phrasing" is something I see popping up more and more in forums and such, especially phrases starting with "How it ?" or "Why it ?"…

The thing is, 3D to 2D projections work well because that's how our eyes work in the first place, so we can intuitively understand a projected image on the screen. When projecting …
