    Weird to make reading zshrc supposed unsafe when I happily publish it in my public dotfiles repo... Who the hell keeps API keys in it? OTOH it seems like lots of these AI tools kee…

    Then as a California resident you should presumably be googling instead about the CCPA and the right to delete :)

    I can't stand this and will actively discriminate against comments I notice in that voice. Even this one has "Not because [..], but because [..]"

    Are you arguing for or against capitalism here?

    Allowing something isn't the same as enforcing it to be allowed. If there's regulation, like with ending roaming charges between countries, then it's required to be followed simult…

    Yeah but if you fuck it up it's a much bigger deal

    Good thing then that there's a range of options between being let go immediately for no reason and companies being forced to employ bad employees for life.

    I feel I just need to run a slightly too large LLM with too much context on a MBP, and it's enough to slow it down irreparably until it suddenly hard resets. Maybe the memory press…

    Also, anecdotally they are more popular amongst less price sensitive people with disposable incomes, where paying for the convenience is worth it. But also, definitely not the Ocad…

    I mean if you skip the traditional publishing gates, you could in theory endorse articles that specifically bring out sections from other articles that you agree or disagree with. …

    Well exactly, I'm pretty sure that's what the GP is getting at — it would be a surprise if Rust didn't have good JSON support. Which it does. So it's unlikely to be the bottleneck.…
