Maybe it’s just me but (and I ask this as something of an ML practitioner myself) can anyone at Anthropic or Open AI or any of the frontier labs work on summarizing content into a …

One of NetBSD’s strengths and emphases is portability. They have a motto- “of course it runs NetBSD.” IIRC NetBSD was ported to Apple Silicon slightly before Asahi Linux succeeded.…

I think from what I can understand about Serenity OS and Ladybird from afar and the kind of Cathedral culture that Andreas Kling values and feels Apple benefits from I'm not wholly…

The Silfi 52 chip is news to me- thanks for pointing it out (also didn't know it's what is powering the new Core Devices products- pretty cool). I've built custom firmware for a DI…

Has the Rebble community ever explored their own open source HW for the rebble ecosystem? I know there’s a ton of work involved to get something high quality/consumer grade and the…

Ironically, I don't think glibly remarking that you "still have all your limbs" and some handmade furniture at the end properly demonstrates someone "fear[ing] the saw," and it dem…

I have Susan Kare's original finder iconography tattooed on my body. I don't have much opine on the new design language but I do think the new finder icons displayed in the post ar…

I had the pleasure of meeting Dan in person a few times up here in the Bay Area. He was incredibly approachable and always generous with his time. If he sensed your curiosity, he’d…

I thought it was funny they spent so much time bashing choice of distro and highlighting various performance considerations only to pick Alpine? Alpine linux uses musl as its libc,…

I think this is true if there aren't new questions to be asked. But technologies shift and evolve all of the time. One of my top StackOverflow questions for years was around the vi…

> What do you do if you need to look up the definition/implementation of some function which is in some other file? At some point, for me, ‘find -name “*.ext” | xargs grep ’ took o…

> If that doesn't work, look into pivoting to tech recruiting. Hopefully I wouldn't need to go back to school for this. The market for tech recruiting has been hit as hard and in s…

In this case let's assume that the weights and biases of, say, a neural network are fixed and the model is already trained. One way of thinking about explainability is that it deal…

I am a co-author of a patent for model explainability for credit risk underwriting applications using Shapley values. In fairness I haven't given this article a thorough read but m…

I will bet you that said citation (the important one you’re holding out for) will have an accompanying Jupyter notebook when it’s ready

>Same with notebooks, you can write NASA-production-grade software in a notebook, but most likely you won't. One of my family members literally maintains a software platform for te…

Love is A Dog From Hell by Charles Bukowski

Reading this I think it is interesting to compare and contrast this write up with the evangelism of Richard Hipp and his success with SQLite. It seems to me that Hans Reiser's writ…

Not that I follow this particularly well, but I feel the late (and great) John Barlow left a pretty good list: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1kgmes/comment/cborf3... (link…

I think it’s important to ask “what guarantees are in place to keep multiple implementations consistent and what is the fallout if they are not” as a lens to determining the degree…

The only way to find out is to consult the world wide WEEB

I do not disagree with you. However, I would speculate part of PSF's hesitancy is likely specifically around the perceived violence that gross' "GIL-less" changes may incur to the …

Just came in here briefly to opine that there is a very real risk of fork if the Python core community does not at least offer a viable alternative expediently. The economic pressu…

Yeah, thanks for being receptive to my feedback! FWIW I would not personally install your desktop app without further understanding of these other areas. However, if the adjustment…

Hi Alex and Daniel! This looks really cool and I believe I am in your set of target customers/potential early adopters. Personally, I'd much moreso prefer a self-hosted option such…
