Everybody was already lazy. Now they have a means of demonstrating it.

Pandoc is awesome. My fav usage is configuring git to use it to normalize binary docs to markdown (like a .docx) so they can be diffed. Works amazing for redlining contacts.

Why couldn’t he have used the same laptop many years after its release?

The open source version of this has existed for decades as well. There’s the doers that actually enjoy the craft, want to share what they’ve done, and contribute to things they gen…

Turning off synchronous_commit gets you most of the way without ever worrying about data corruption if something crashes mid way through. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/wa…

When I have a truly difficult prompt, I give it to the laziest model.

All of this boils down to an extra underscore in his username. It’s the type of thing I’d hope our LLM-powered future solves for the common man. Catching typos like that would be l…

Be funnier if you even write “do not enter 123456”.

Damn straight. 99% of these types of plays is being willing to run in before there’s a set up. Big up to a 59 year old that is still willing to do so. One can only hope his own kne…

That “-I” really needs to be lowercase.

Kill a man you’re a murderer. Kill a thousand, you’re a conqueror.

And for most of those commands add a dash dash so that nothing with a dash prefix turns into options.

I don’t think US companies could ever fully trust models sponsored by foreign adversaries. How would you ever verify they are safe? Provenance of training set is going to be critic…

There’s always a buyer on the other side of a short, naked or located. The question is whether the originating broker actually borrowed the shares. They are supposed to verify that…

The site infers that 105 people are working at the two companies. What’s the denominator though? After 20 or so years of YC, with multiple catches per year, and the insanely high f…

Even in the case of a default it’s not a zero payoff. Bond holders get first dibs of unsecured assets at liquidation.

Which is a perfectly cromulent usage of the phrase.

Is it though? Cause you can have an agent analyze the reports to filter out the wheat from the chaff.

I like apps to sequester authentication. Not for everything, but nice to keep some things only authenticated in their own walled garden.

Yes in three specific environments for varying durations. Lying down to sleep, showering and driving. Each last for a different amount of time and you generally can’t write or even…
