These kinds of products are drop dead gorgeous to me. Any time I see a device that has an Amiga 500 form factor or similar, I feel a compulsive urge to click buy. But after many, m…

This was a great read! I'm not a paid subscriber, so I'll post my thoughts here. One angle I think that might be missing is that when only men worked outside the home, women would …

Somewhat related: Anyone recognize the keyboard in the header image? Looks extremely similar to an HP 95LX series but isn't one I recognize.

Just in case anybody is interested in a bit more of a casual format, I had NotebookLM create a podcast from the paper. https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/0bef03c4-3ed5-4b13-90.…

Not sure about the quality of the model's output. But I really appreciate this little mini-paper they produced. It gives a nice concise description of their goals, benchmarks, data…

Nice looking app! Very similar to DevUtils ( https://devutils.com ), but with a much more friendly pricing scheme which is great. I'm curious though, why link to the GitHub site if…

Interesting idea! You can somewhat recreate the essence of this using a system prompt with any sufficiently sized model. Here's the prompt I tried for anybody who's interested: You…

Look, I get it. Startups are hard. Desperation can lead to poor choices. But spamming isn't the answer and will burn bridges faster than you can build them. If you are genuinely so…

So I'm trying to understand. Is this spam for the Lamucal service? I saw this same code posted on Reddit the other day under a different name. Here are a few repos with the exact s…

Here's a direct link to him being dragged off the stage: https://x.com/dmitrygr/status/1822124650547257637 It's definitely somewhat aggressive. Way to burn bridges.

Well, thanks for putting this up! It's really a treasure for those of us who used it as our daily driver so many years ago.

Weird that for a couple minutes, these paths existed: * https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0/bin * https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0/bin/DISK1 * http…

Not 3%. The estimate is 17%. https://ny1.com/nyc/manhattan/transit/2023/11/30/congestion-...

I've been an extremely happy user of Rocket Money for a couple years now.

This reminds me of megaCar from the same era: https://web.archive.org/web/20001019032036/http://www.megaca... Browsing that site again now in 2023 is hilarious! Make sure to turn y…

The author of the article appears to have misunderstood one important detail about Code Llama. They state: > The Code Llama models were trained on 500B tokens, whereas Llama 2 mode…

Whoa! I remember experiencing this and just assuming it must be my imagination! I also remember that same laptop getting those pits. No where as dramatic as the pictures in the lin…

Somewhat related story time! In the early 2000's my main business was web hosting. It paid the bills but never made me enough to really invest in it. So it kept running, sitting in…

Hmm. My Mac shows these: [...] 15 sententiousness 15 sinuatodentated 15 soundheadedness 15 tendentiousness 15 uninitiatedness 16 antisensuousness 16 ostentatiousness 17 dissentaneo…

Not to be THAT guy, but I'm getting a definite ChatGPTish generative text feel from that article. The short sections, the FAQ restating the details from the article three paragraph…

OpenBSD has a ton of obscure x11 games and apps in their ports collection if you want to play with a different subset than FreeBSD's ports includes. I spent a whole evening enjoyin…

Sadly I don’t think Hack adds DMs either. I’ll pile on here and ask if there’s any chance you have an extra code! Thanks either way! rwl4@duck.com

I've been sitting on that list for what seems like forever. I guess I need to make more friends. ;-)

I ordered one about a year ago and forgot all about it. After a few apologies for the lateness of the shipping, the order never arrived. This comment reminded me, so I just emailed…
