They have different applications. Sometimes you want steel because you want the pan to lose heat rapidly, depending on what you're cooking. Other times, you want cast iron; you wan…

How? It seems like any legal framework for attempting to prevent something like this would only have worse unintended effects. For example: every sale of a brand or a company has t…

It's unfortunate that the label AI is attached at all. Gen AI as presently constructed is Vector Inference, not machine intelligence. R2D2, R. Daneel Olivaw... thinking machines, t…

Fagles' translation of The Illiad worked best for me, but his translation of The Odyssey was very dry. I landed on Rieu's translation (I read Lattimore's too, but kept going back t…

Why use this CLI over something like OpenCode?

You're being downvoted, but that was funny.

No. Poverty is not relative to what others have. Poverty is relative to baseline needs. So poverty absolutely can exist without inequality. Inequality has no moral characteristics.…

Go back to the 18th and 19th centuries and you land back in phonics-land. The fad of whole-word and three-queuing lasted a generation and has produced terrible results. Those techn…

Advertising for agent memory.

"Past performance is no indicator of future success." They did something right fifty years ago. Now? No. They're doing nearly everything wrong. Top-two elections coupled with rigge…

Gemini will confidently tell you "it can't possibly be a Chrome bug" even when, on certain rare occasions, it actually is. We even used Gemini to look at the code and find the bug,…

Yep. If you dig through, they do have a repo, licensed under the AGPL, of course. No software, though, just markdown files.
