Being effective with llm agents requires not just the ability to code or to appreciate nuance with libraries or business rules but to have the ability and proclivity of pedantry. D…

Skopeo lets you work with remote registries and local images without a docker/podman/etc daemon. We use to ‘clone’ across deployment environments and across providers outside of th…

It’s weird how normalized over cap billing became acceptable simply because chargeable metrics were not collected/resolved until after the fact. Seems like an obvious gap in the pr…

Exactly. Why the fixation on one strategy for handling this not so uncommon scenario. It is so common that handling it should be defacto. This isn’t a pre-paid gas pump use, but th…

Perhaps the No true Scotsman fallacy? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

Better wouldn’t necessarily be the right qualifier, but faster, typically more repeatable, and greatly more economical with scale/workload would certainly fit as better from differ…

Likewise, the trivial or novel that you borrow for free isn’t really free when you need to use it suddenly in ways that the license doesn’t permit or it is just technically inconve…

So far I haven’t seen a comment point this out or suggest similar, so let’s say that instead of trying to maintain an application level list of email addresses that is used in a br…

The B52 first was first rolled out for production use on 18 March 1954. The "...long-rifle of the air age..." -- Nathan Twining. It has not been manufactured since 1962. They are s…

The advertisers (?) are different, but more than 35 (!) years ago, I remember the same format, just different sponsors for different programming.

If all you have is a hammer, hit something. Use the tools you have to identify problems and turn them into opportunities that present high value returns. Be specific and address pr…

Agricultural efficiency, and food handling and storage are big cornerstones in this past century too. We were a world of frequent famine and hunger and now one of abject abundance.…

A yard is not just a measure of length, but of volume and in a manner, constitution if you will, as it is also 2 1/2 pints[1], good sir or ma'am. Oy! 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…

Everyone loves a winner, on some level. But are sports stars generally popular with the public or among their peers, or teammates? Michael Jordan, was/is endured to the public for …

Maybe, the suggested demise of Equifax, the extreme perpetrator of neglect in this particular case, should lose the ability to print money, much like Symantec and other ssl cert is…

Exactly the same reason professionals in auto racing use filtered/pure nitrogen to fill tires, instead of traditional compressed atmospheric air.

Nitpicking, but removing "business" from the title would fit the article body a bit better. Questioning the viability of potential products and services is far different than evalu…

This. The ux [especially] places priority of identity ahead of protected, private conversation and then too broadly encapsulates that information. Secondly, verification is too sta…

I suspect in some dark, obscure corners, ghastly scenarios far worse have been conceived and considered for contingency purposes. But given supposed reasonable assumptions, many su…

The missing link is insurance or a hedge with buyers/students opting for protection from the schools product or service if not delivered in spirit or letter of its premised promise…

Propellants, aka rocket fuel: http://history.nasa.gov/conghand/propelnt.htm

There probably is something to this. Perhaps if a different, more specific, standard of measure is applied during query, results will be more applicible for the intended purpose. F…

I am pleased to see this as I had been tossing around a similar idea as a first-line alternative method of moderation, where commentary/open collaboration would be restricted to th…
