Thx, that often works, but that's still inaccessible to me.

> Not a X. Not a Y. Not a Z. The thing he was most proud [...]" This construction - how is it called? It is clear "AI speak" - at least I remember Claude talking like that (even if…

If you think about it, it makes sense. Say what you want about LLM-assisted software development, the chances are high that it will stay, meaning a non-trivial part of code will be…

You can use ctrl+shift+t to open the recently closed tab again.

Ah I see, thx, it's a pretty default configured "gnome-terminal", which probably captures the F10.

It's an interesting file browser, the default "blue" colors gives old-school vibes nowadays. If you wonder how to quit (if started from a terminal): It's `ESC 0`. Or "exit" like fr…

Valid question i think in this context. I knew about GNU multiprecision library, but thought that couldnt be it, as it's "just" a highly optimized low level bit fiddling lib (at le…

It's okayish. Considering 64G to 128G are available for (nerd) high-end consumers you're just off with a factor 5 (if we can squeeze out a little bit more performance). Thas is pre…

I think there is some kind of misunderstanding. Sure, if you get somehow structured, machine-generated PDFs parsing them might be feasible. But what about the "scanned" document pa…

Do you think as an observer of Roko's basilisk ... should I share these prompt or not?

This guy footnotes.

They don't.

Although this is nice, the problems with the GIL are often blown out of proportion: people stating that you couldn't do efficient (compute-bounded) multi-processing, which was neve…

Why is it always public cloud (aws, gcp, azure) vs. "bring your own hardware and deploy it in racks". There are multiple providers that offer VPS and ingress/egress for a fraction …

There's also Lektor CMS: https://www.getlektor.com/ It's quite mice solution to the whole problem (simple hosting + simple editing).

What about CC licenses for model weights? It's common for files ("images", "video", "audio", ...) So maybe appropriate.

> That project is a bash script to tail Kubernetes logs from multiple pods at the same time. Which is also cool! You're obviously both inspired by Unix `tail`. I wonder if we will …

An annoying thing is if CLI tools don't exit with non-zero if the tool is used incorrectly. It's pretty standard to print the usage string if the tool is invoked with invalid argum…

> They use the printf "%f" float format conversion so `printf "%f" 2e3` will work just fine, whereas using something that definitively is not a float makes printf exit with an erro…

Some nice stuff, but also some stuff, where things get easier if you just switch to a language with less caveats (like Python). My rule of thumb is to use Bash to write simple scri…

It has to be open-source (meaning (A)GPL, MIT, BSD, Apache, etc.) to be even considered by bigger organizations (especially in Europe). I worked with medium and large organizations…

So, how's the state of Elm? I am familiar with all the social media drama on Elm - are serious things missing, or is it possible to write competitive software (you may define that …

You probably misclicked the comment section, I guess you wanted to go here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33346091

I wouldn't say Scotland's climate is representative. European countries can have vastly different local weather conditions and just because there's so much rain in the north wester…
