What would you recommend to increase international equity exposure? Index funds ETF like VWRA?

I think that it's been happening for a while. Movies in the 70s and 60s tended to have more pause in the dialogue, more silence than movies in early 2000s. Take a movie like the Go…

We use luuni which is similar (except that it also enable choose your own story with audiobooks). Even then, we limit it because otherwise he would want to listen to it every time …

True for children under 3, however I see plenty of 8-9 years old glued to their tablet in restaurants.

For me open source means that the entire training data is open sourced as well as the code used for training it otherwise it's open weight. You can run it where you like but it's a…

> My personal headcanon: this tooling works well when built on simple patterns, and can handle complex work. This tooling has also been not great at coming up with new patterns, an…

I just run CC in a VM. It gets full control over the VM. The VM doesn't have access to my internal networks. I share the code repos it works on over virtiofs so it has access to th…

That's been my experience as well. Claude code does better with Elixir (plus I enjoy working on the code better after :) )

That's not helped by a recent change to their system prompt "acting_vs_clarifying": > When a request leaves minor details unspecified, the person typically wants Claude to make a r…

Personally I love rust for agents because of types. In the ruby world there's sorbet and rbs so would be interesting to try that.

When I was an exchange student at RIT and had just arrived from France a month before, one of the admin staff invited me and a friend in the same situation for thanksgiving because…

I've usually not been impressed in AI's implementation of math heavy rules so I wouldn't trust it much and I tend to find it easier for me to write them myself and then verify :) Y…

Oh yeah, that's why I added the parenthesis. I consider lisp macros to be a dsl and that's exactly what I tend to like using. Similarly with ruby and some meta programming tricks.

I tend to find that for things like this that are really math heavy, it's usually better to create a DSL (or create easily readable function calls, etc) that you can easily write y…

Oh I mean alternative would be a well regarded university/school in Germany or France... I'm French but we live in HK and most kids here (even the ones who go to the French Interna…

That's what the French government paid per year per student at my engineering school in the early 2000s. Tuition fees paid by the student were 540 euros a year, but the cost to the…

France is the same, the better universities are all public. But I know that the government spent an average of 35,000 euros per students at top public engineering schools in the ea…

This is why when my son is old enough to choose a university, I'd probably try to advise him against doing undergrad in a UK or US university if he's studying STEM. Based on interv…

I've been using it since I got it. It's been working great with one small issue that I haven't been able to solve. For some reason when I use plasma on Arch linux (but not ubuntu),…

Since you seem knowledgeable about knives, Do you know any great knives makers? And are those custom steels or carbide blades worth it? So far, I mostly sharpen my knives on the ba…

To be fair, tipping the cook makes more sense to me than the waiter. I come to a restaurant for the food, I don't particularly care about the service beyond a certain baseline. It …

I end up using Perplexity a lot too, especially when I'm doing something unfamiliar. It's also a good way to quickly find out what are best practices for a given framework/language…

> The notch has been around for 4 years now, and Apple still hasn't provided a solution for the problem they introduced. As a lot of people told you, you can just disable it. I've …

They pushed the U2 album a few years ago and had that blow over their face when they realized that people actually did mind. And when it comes to doing the analysis, how do they de…

It still sees active development, they keep adding new engines regularly. One of the engine I'm excited about is Macromedia Director [1] which they added initial support for in 2.5…
