Wow Beej it's you!! I loved your guide to network programming in undergrad <3 you're probably not part of the problem here, lol.

Isn't this just solved by better student teacher ratios, which you could totally have in public schools if they were funded better and societally we valued teachers more? What are …

> I felt frustrated that the professors didn't ever teach. They had slides. They read off slides, verbatim. They explained things sometimes if you asked them, but most often in a v…

That was definitely not the subreddit where I got my info.

Have you found Gemma 4 31B better than Qwen 3.6 27B Q8? I just started using Qwen + Pi agent and it's great, but "which model works best" is still totally crowdsourced and I was go…

You should probably disclaimer that you're the author of swival.dev, but nice project :)

+10000 that Azure is a steaming pile of shit. Like what's this -- `azcopy` broken at head, and the working one doesn't guarantee correctness after a copy (99.6% copied successfully…

Agree it doesn't generate wealth. It's explicitly a store of wealth. Investment is a weird term because most people would consider keeping cash or cash equivalents (gold) to be inv…

It has utility though: unlike the dollars in your mattress, it can't be printed into oblivion by your central bank. It is relatively portable, and people have flocked to it as a st…

They are used in thin-film solar panel development. Not sure anyone has cracked the big problem with them, which is durability.

I tried mapping back to closest token embeddings. Here's what I got: global_step = 1377; phase = continuous; lr = 5.00e-03; average_loss = 0.609497 current tokens: ' Superman' '$ME…

I'm similarly puzzled by "uncured bacon" which afaik still uses naturally occurring nitrites. How they're allowed to call it uncured when it's clearly still cured is beyond me.

A lot of people use them together (cursor for IDE and claude code in the terminal inside the IDE). In terms of performance, their agents differ. The base model their agents use are…

Unrelated: my man, I loved your C vision library back in the day.

Cool stuff! Is the goal of this project personal learning, inference performance, or something else? Would be nice to see how inference speed stacks up against say llama.cpp

I know what you mean, but still Tiger Beetles are an insect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_beetle

OK but also note there's also not a "both sides" to everything. Some stuff can just suck.

Tesla could have more camera data in sum (that's not even clear - transmitting and storing data from all the cars on the road is no easy task - L4 companies typically pysically rem…

> Segmentation that's not feasible at the current scale but will be in the future. So you _do_ agree that willingness to pay is only helpful if there is segmentation. > Pre-Uber, w…

> That's exactly what I'm saying would happen. We already have it with Uber Black. But I'm saying we _don't_ have that for Waymo, and it's very unlikely to happen, for many reasons…

I guess. But bringing new products to market requires distribution, and do you have a better way for people to crack that? Targeted advertising through say, Instagram, has enabled …

Higher willingness to pay does not matter unless the market is segmented. So if the tech gets cheaper, unless they explicitly make an expensive "oft-cleaned" tier and a less expens…

That makes sense. Honest question - what's the harm in being targeted by ads? Is it just scrolling youtube more often than you should? Or is there a nefarious side that I'm failing…

I guess my question is - will Waymo really cause that much more tire noise vs today? Wherever car tires are making noise, I doubt Waymo is going to generate that much _additional_ …

I agree in principle that a privately run company could use information in nefarious ways internally, and that barring any additional knowledge you should not trust them. That bein…
