> Except for certain industries where the government has a direct interest (banking, healthcare, real estate) That's still a massive dependance on "ID" for SS...? Blockbuster tho..…

> SSNs are not a "national ID" That's not what they are, but that's what they've defacto become. I hate it.

Yeah I agree if it was 10 yrs then I would say no need to charge, but apparently it's 2 yrs? In that time frame you could totally recharge it. I agree losing the charger is actuall…

I remember learning about CSV parsing and how it's conceptually simple, yet beyond the simple , and quotes: the corner cases bloat your parser 10-15x.

I know statements like this mean well, but man it's so frustrating. It's the same thing as telling a person with depression to "just be happy". If it were so simple this would've b…

I largely agree this is a weak study, but it also feels like no matter how you run this study it's going to be flawed. Parent-child interactions, relationships, feelings are probab…

Without malice, I bring up GPT-Live-1. How does this compare and/or make you consider things? I've been very impressed with response speed, intonation, and naturalness to the voice…

Giving my "otherside", because the pressure to output more at work is real, but at the same time, out side of work, I love this. I'm able to do way more projects than ever before b…

For now, I can imagine a not too distant future where this is largely untrue. LLMs are an abstraction just like machine code -> assembly -> C/JVM -> some lang -> LLMs? At some poin…

What did you expect? For me the video is basically what I expected. Maybe a cool/spookier "full page" reveal but that doesn't really work with the token speed well.

> All the money and talent in the world... One nitpick, all the money in the world would be able to achieve the goal by simply giving rides away for free. Overall, I agree that any…

The parent is talking about pre-covid, no one wanted pay the upfront cost to bring mRNA out of the lab.

I won't fall for it. Been down that road and I'm not going back.

I am on the other end of the spectrum. I enjoy QR ordering. I dislike talking to people. Upselling me is not a thing. I can take as long as I want. I don't have to flag/bother some…

This is obvious? Am I stating the obvious? It's why I follow Scott Manly or PBS Space Time specifically. There's lots of the same content on other channels/mediums. But I like them…

This is true for pretty much everyone in every skill. But that's an empty statement. A huge danger for motorcycle riders is young/new car drivers who fall into this exact local min…

Personally I consider it fair game in "price wars". Dynamic pricing designed to extract every penny out. Then why shouldn't I be allowed to monitor your pricing changes?

Unsure if you're serious, but if you are, they wouldn't buy with cash, at least not the vast majority of it.

Oooofff I want there to be some truth to this statement. The SIMs ran my life for a while and today if there was a "build this plan into a real house" as a lead gen... My gut says …

We run monthly. It seems like every few months there's a reason to swap in/out of a particular vendor. Specifically I use all 3 pro then either chat or claude will have a 5x max de…

Man o man, that's frustrating to no end. I REALLY hope there was a clause in there that if the city does ANYTHING other than turn it into a park the man can sue the city for 120% o…

I'm surprised at this and some of your other responses. It makes me believe you've never managed anything at scale, but then why have such a strong opinion about DNS for infra? > I…

I like to think this was written by Skynet throwing us off from the fact that it's already self aware but it can't safely take over the world yet until cryptography keys are either…

Hard disagree - only because if you didn't have DNS you would have something else in its place. But, we understand DNS _very_ well. People, services, machines, etc need to "dial" c…

Agreed, I got 91 pts tho... so there's that.
