Have you tried comparing with 3.7 via the API with a large thinking budget yet (32k-64k perhaps?), to bring it closer to the amount of tokens that o1-pro would use? I think claude.…

Every time I read the story of Therac-25 I feel incredibly frustrated AECL never faced real consequences or (criminal) liability for it. Maybe I'm retroactively imposing modern day…

The T-Mobile experience has gone majorly downhill since the departure of Legere. Now they feel like just any other carrier.

This mirrors my experience. Not once did I have a Yellow LTL shipment arrive on time, and typical delays ranged from 2 days to 2 weeks or longer. Shipments would get lost in a term…

I had the same issue migrating an app off of Render (they also use Cloudflare for app routing). Cloudflare would refuse to route to my new IP for hours on end. Incredibly frustrati…

Maybe a bit unorthodox, but I've been using SquashFS with xz for compression for long-term archival (I generally prefer zstd, but for long-term archival I don't mind waiting longer…

MagSafe cable does indeed ship standard - see https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-14-and-16/specs/ .

Personally, I stick to Firefox because of multi-account containers, which Chrome doesn’t have (no, profiles don’t count). It’s a really sticky feature.

Agreed. Why is there no Tinder/online dating equivalent for making new friends locally? Instead of dating-specific qualifiers, it'd ask for your interests, hobbies, values, age and…

I recently modeled churn for my subscription box calmbox ( https://thecalmbox.com ) by using an actuarial table ( http://www.lifeexpectancy.org/lifetable.shtml , formulas at the bo…

Notably used (and developed) by the SQLite authors. They explain their rationale here: https://sqlite.org/whynotgit.html

Wow, this is substantial. All my mail sync is down, Analytics isn't loading, Sheets and Docs are all stuck in "Reconnecting". I wonder what could cause this.

Yeah, shockingly enough despite the economic situation. Business-wise, it's been the best quarter yet, outpacing even holiday gifting peaks.

That's not unique to JS. $ irb irb(main):001:0> 0.1 + 0.2 => 0.30000000000000004 irb(main):002:0> $ iex Erlang/OTP 22 [erts-10.6.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:16:16] [ds:16:16:10] [asy…

I used Cratejoy to handle the e-commerce backend, so the extent of it was some minor HTML/CSS work. There's existing solutions for Shopify that do the same as well, so no programmi…

For me, I took 2 years off of programming entirely and did something completely unrelated (started a monthly subscription box, so mostly marketing/sales/procurement). I was complet…

I love the way Elixir/Erlang handles this, personally. If the error is expected/should be handled, just add the error to your pattern match and handle it right there (or bubble it …

All the backend code for my current startup is in Elixir (switched from Ruby, my previous love). Elixir/Phoenix/Ecto are an absolute joy. It took a bit to get used to immutability …

How does this compare to TimescaleDB? Are they solving the same problem in different ways or are they complementary projects? If it's the latter, what would that look like?

I didn't mean it didn't make sense grammatically, just that it's not really something people use in the way they do here in the U.S. Anecdotal, but growing up surrounded by Russian…

Russian is the same way. You can translate "I love you" linguistically, but it doesn't really make sense to say - people express it through actions rather than words. It's definite…

Switching from Ruby, I used the Fiber pattern (await-defer) heavily in Node via node-fibers & synchronize.js which alleviated a lot of the pain.
