I appreciate the replies on the determinism point and I’ve learned some new things here. In any case I probably should not have tagged that on, as my main point was to share that t…

> All requests to an LLM are idempotent, for every API call you need to send it the entire conversation history A more appropriate term is “stateless”. LLM responses are certainly …

The ring sizing has been such a debacle, first with needing to buy (!) their special ring sizing kit because standard sizing wouldn’t be accurate they said, and now they say that t…

> Moves are trusted Indeed, you can just play e1e8 and capture the opponents king (which doesn’t end the game). It’s a digital chessboard, not a chess engine.

“Strata doesn’t just show the data. It makes the call.” Scroll scroll scroll… “Strata informs your decisions — it doesn't make them for you.” I hope you don’t kill someone.

My child has an SE, and the only downside we’ve seen is that without a connected iPhone or WiFi network, the battery life is unimaginably bad. That little LTE radio works hard in t…

I'll never understand why people think this looks human: What Made This Time Different This time, I didn't just install FreeBSD. I created a system for learning and success. Clear …

There are two attempts to render an American flag on that page and they’re both wrong

I'm trying to remember if anyone complained like this about the Apple Card offers in Apple Wallet. For some reason advertising their credit card is completely fine, but advertising…

Excited for this—was NOT expecting it to tell me to follow them on Twitter after signing up! That one sure hits different than the last time…

That blog is simply saying the same thing as GP—that it’s a term from gov agencies, and musing about applying the same ideas in their work.

Not the author, but when I use the phrase I mean each commit accomplishes a single important thing, but also that each commit is complete: it includes necessary tests for example. …

Even ignoring the rude name-calling, I usually find that these kind of comments are poorly thought-out and come from an unrealistic idea of name ownership. I wasn’t familiar with a…

But the app is literally called “Astro App”

Why a xitter post of a screenshot with no link when the full article is public? https://support.docusign.com/s/document-item?language=en_US&...

You’re saying the university denied their application because they referred to their homebrew device as a “laptop” and not a “cyberdeck”? I’m far from any of the worlds involved, b…

What kind of issue do you have in mind? By all accounts, the functionality or OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and Google’s suite are the same as Microsoft Office. There’s no theft unless …

Or perhaps their coin was biased

Show a picture of an adult riding one, you cowards.

> Cones become more critical with the proliferation of non-human drivers Ironic. Cones are the self-driving car’s only weakness, and yet they can’t survive without them

I’m confused about what “quality domains” means here. I’d honestly never heard of the `.ong` TLD, it seems intended for non-governmental organization. If you’re going to sell subdo…

Sure, and I think all-party consent should be required if a call has any guests. My point was much shallower—just that OP/Zoom is using language that suggests “customer consent” is…

Say more things. Are you suggesting that by “customer consent”, they mean the consent of someone other than those of us paying for zoom? That makes no sense, and is not supported b…

“Customer consent” as in, accepting the TOS by continuing to use the product? Have some respect for the intelligence of your users. If you’re playing dirty lawyerball in HN comment…
