Are you doing it to get money/success/fame? Stop. Data says no. Are you doing it because you want to bring something new into the world? Acknowledge that and keep going as long as …

CEL is much more computationally limited as it aims to keep evaluations in the microsecond range. With OPA you can easily create policies that take tens, hundreds or even thousands…

Most tech startups create a monopoly by hiding real-time access to user data behind closed down apps which can force-include ads in your feeds. A simple EU regulation that requires…

Or you can just add some randomness to the prompt by adding “Your random seed is mciifjrbdifnf.” I just tested that and got 4 left and 2 right so it works pretty well.

As they say... every exponential is a sigmoid in reality.

I’d guess that they have a rating system and prefer assigning request to helpers who reliably perform well… which might be why I didn’t get repeat requests after my initial fumblin…

Human assistants might also just be worse than AI assistants. When I received my first (and only) BeMyEyes request I spent the first minute or so figuring out how to work the app a…

Hydrogen is very difficult to use as a direct fuel source. This recent video gives a good overview of all the challenges a hydrogen engine has to overcome: https://youtu.be/DGL5g91…

I agree that it's a great book; but I wouldn't recommend it as an entry point into understanding purely functional data structures. Okasaki fleshes out a couple of examples and exp…

As a long time RSI-sufferer that has tried everything I can confirm the KeyboardIO was also very nice... but nothing beats Kinesis Advantage. I think it's the domed arrangement as …

I agree that I'd like to see more LiFePO4 battery packs; but compared to an EV I'd much rather have this happen on an e-bike/monowheel I can just step off.

I once had I colleague that I had lots and lots of trouble engaging with. Over and over again I would try to get my point across but fail. That was until I noticed that if I picked…

I once played with one of these where if you built the sand high enough the top would turn blue again and water would start flowing down from the top. So... an overflow bug caused …

The same applies to most Scala projects from the early days. It attracted many developers who just wanted to have a go at writing their own custom half-baked versions of their favo…

I think we should start thinking in battery cargo trailers. When do you want extra range and battery? When you're going on holiday. What do you want apart from extra range when you…

The Progress Principle by Teresa Amabile [1] It's one of the biggest longitudinal qualitative studies on work life and company succes. It has given me by far the most valuable insi…

Have you tried VoiceCode? https://voicecode.io/ That in combination with switching to a Lisp (Clojure) almost made it feasible for me to code with RSI. I just became a manager inst…

I think the review actually says that for people who are naturally manipulative the book doesn’t necessarily add much; which I can imagine. The book actually explains quite well wh…

Logo was the best! I still remember my father ‘explaining’ me Pythagoras theorem when I was around 5 to show me how to draw the roof of a house on our hand-soldered Philips Apple I…

Interestingly that sounds like almost exactly the same points the book The Progress Principle brings up (which is based on one of the largest qualitative diary based research proje…
