    Could be fun with a decently made legacy system without artificial pressure from POs, managers, etc., but hell when you inherit a mess and nobody (who matters) believes you when yo…

    One has to weigh the probability that (1) said limits are removed and (2) when they're removed, it makes a sufficient difference in prices against being permanently priced out. A h…

    Unfortunately I've had interactions with the medical system where the doctors wrote their after meeting notes with severe errors and pieces of fiction, as well as specialists who a…

    Bills are shorter duration, bonds are longer duration. You can look up the terms to get exact time ranges. When the yields for both are very low, there's next to no upside to holdi…

    Loading up on bonds when rates are rock bottom instead of bills is asking for trouble. Sure, when yields are at averages or historic highs, back the truck up; otherwise, there's no…

    Maybe a better way of putting it is that the public's amount of caring about it happens to be below the threshold for doing something.

    Suppose that Bing Chat itself wants to store data for the longer term, but it doesn't have the direct ability to do it, so what can it do? Once in a while, send the human some unhi…

    Xe-HPC wasn't a risk-averse design, nor was Arc, nor was Alder Lake, nor was Sapphire Rapids. The only problem is that Xe-HPC is nowhere to be found, Arc was delivered 2 years late…

    Any ideas on how the "only by" would work? I'm not seeing a way around pasting generated text and signing it as one's own work. Proof of work solutions would have to have a high co…

    I went with a Synology router in 2019 almost entirely due to how nice SRM was. It's still running fine. Maybe the competition had time to catch up, but I never had a reason to look…

    Do you code like this as well or is this specific only to writing docs? If it's just docs, then honestly, it sounds like you just really hate working on them even though you can do…

    Vortex Diamondback HD 8x42 would be my choice for such a budget. Easy Amazon returns if needed, comes with a nice case, and has the best warranty.

    Humans eventually get bored, tired, etc., so the rate of content generated is much easier to deal with.

    My biggest fear for the short term is that tools like ChatGPT would allow spamming most of the internet with the equivalent of a Gish Gallop -- so much plausible-looking bullshit s…

    I could type out a long essay that could potentially have relevance to a few points at play here, but let me try something else. While your attempts to create direction/meaning/etc…

    People have a problem with it because it's a string of words without meaning. Better to leave it out than to sully modern language further with meaningless gibberish that looks lik…

    Deaths, divorces, moves, bankruptcies, etc. still happen, so there's still a market. The average peasant didn't suddenly begin to make 2x more per month, so for the same fixed mont…

    Even so, this meaning was never really there at the scale you might be thinking of. I understand its significance for you, but not many people are shedding tears over not having to…

    Honestly, your work seems like it's a huge part of your life, and it's not anywhere near that for the vast majority of other devs, working remotely or not. People generally spend t…

    This privilege (which is really just code for $$$) you mention existed in the same exact way prior to mass WFH, except that it resulted in more air pollution, more wasteful traffic…

    If I'm, again, understanding what's happening, as the example above doesn't compile in its current state, then you'll probably run into this limitation: https://go.googlesource.com…

    What I'm getting from that is that you want some func that takes in a []T where the T is constrained to some set of types, and you want to call the func without having to specify t…

    I've had videos not show up in the YouTube search despite the query matching the video title verbatim.

    You take a guess, and if you guess wrongly, you get arrested.

    I dunno, it made sense to me. The simplified thesis (perhaps with my own slight spin on it) is that a huge number of connections never really existed, and what's observed as a deva…
