On the other hand, you're approaching tautology with what you seem to be implying here, which is "flaws or challenges that you can fix yourself aren't mental health problems".

Yes, it's clear you take issue with the assumptions I'm making. That's okay. If you don't accept my premise that's fine, but you could just state that instead of saying that I'm be…

"two things are within an order of magnitude, and two other things are within an order of magnitude, and those two groups are three orders of magnitude apart" does sound like two g…

I don't disagree. I'm not sure why that's a relevant reply though. If you think that the addition of a less creative process (model creation) to a more creative corpus ("art") is p…

So, I'm not the person you were responding to. I'd like you to take a moment and suggest where anyone in the thread you're replying to, either me or Remus, has said anything that s…

I don't think that's what it's saying at all. It's saying that there's a level of creativity in model creation that isn't present in distillation.

The point of passkeys is that you don't need to. Unlike passwords, your session cannot be hijacked because the thing that you give your fingerprint cryptographically verified the r…

Python was being used as a teaching language at flagship universities in the mid 2000s.

This is exceedingly easy to explain: demand is way too high, and the pro/max plans are loss leaders. I've paid a total of $20 and in 10 days, my cost, according to Claude code's co…

There are edge cases where this fails, but `def parse(s): return json.loads('['+re.sub('([")])\s*(["(])','\g ,\g ',re.sub('[^()\s]+','"\g "',s)).replace('(','[').replace(')',']')+'…

I do most of my development on a MacBook air and a Chromebook. The ~only thing I do from my local machine is ssh into a beefy workstation and use chrome.

I mean I guess anything is possible, but the Pixel 6 and 7 also are receiving 5+ years of updates, and those sure seem real so far.

Yes, they've since more than doubled the support lifetimes to seven years.
