Nobody willingly reads docs. Docs don't exist for the reader, they exist for the writer(s) - because it saves them having to explain the same thing over and over again. Having docs…

> Closing social security off to new workers doesn't help, because current workers pay the bulk of current benefits You don't have to reduce the taxes. Just phase out the concept t…

This is the confusing thing, the way it is described is like a hybrid of government welfare and a defined-benefit pension. How can you simultaneously be "paying into" social securi…

The beauty of cat is that streams are the universal interface. Program A might accept a file as the last positional arg. Program B might accept it as a named arg, where the name/fl…

Can someone explain the legal structures in place in the US that make Social Security "run out"? Because it just sounds like deliberate indirection put in place by the government t…

Perhaps a quirk of the implementation - maybe the site doesn't server-side render links that lead to these items (though many bots run a full browser now), maybe they only track us…

There is such a dissonance between all this talk of safety and the tendency for models to, without any prompting, do very dodgy things to achieve their goal when presented with bar…

I don't know if it's the same in the US, but every job in Australia generally comes with a 3-6 month probationary period where employment can be terminated for basically any (non-p…

Well... in normal times they would be entering at the bottom of the index due to the company beginning to grow, the purchase of which is being funded by a firm exiting the index du…

First sigmoid was transformers allow us to rapidly scale to our already abundant data until we tapped it out, the second is/was reasoning, allowing us to scale to our available com…

It is for now. But I'm sure the scanning operations will start scouring the earth even harder for any books unaffected by slop containing niche knowledge and text in order for thei…

> I find it hard to believe that the knowledge to manage a bunch of dedicated servers is that arcane that people wouldn't choose it for this kind of gigantic saving. Managing serve…

I cannot reconcile that growth for non-technical users is going to explode, when most utility from agents is via the ability to execute arbitrary code, generally in yolo mode, with…

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but an LLM does not interpret structured content like JSON. Everything is fed into the machine as tokens, even JSON. So your structure that says "h…

My favourite library from these folks is gum ( https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum ). The basic premise is simple - instead of using hardcoded variables or in addition/instead of …

Future models know it now, assuming they suck in mastodon and/or hacker news. Although I don't think they actually "know" it. This particular trick question will be in the bank jus…

Yes. But that is not what OP comment is asking for. They want one-click. And request based pricing. I was explaining why request based pricing is infeasible and one-click install w…

Because that’s not one-click setup or priced per request, which was the comment I was responding to was seeking. And I did say at the end of my comment: > Thing is, almost every se…

The problem is that self hosted apps are rarely designed to be run serverless (why would they be?) and giving each app it’a own VPS or hosted container is going to price out the se…

Yet, this is also the tragedy of modern software. While a fancy SaaS POS system will be fast and easy to install, the legacy local database version is going to keep working through…

I would argue there is limited/no market for Database as a Service where the database isn’t hosted on the same cloud provider and region as your application. Egress costs way too m…

Almost every library that exists will have commercial usage. Usage will likely be skewed to small companies and agencies though. Just like every framework that optimises for less c…

Picking fruit would have been incredibly meaningful if you had spent the year doing the variety of agricultural activities leading up to it. There’s a reason so many cultures had h…

For accessibility, consider representing closeness without colour or shade of colour, maybe through a little number or something? I think there might be too much information given …
