The ABC are sadly incredibly biased. A recent, prominent example is [1] where they edited footage to make it look like a soldier was shooting at an innocent civilian. They then app…

I hired a data engineer who was unable write a for loop in their primary language (python). The task was to write a simple sum of a list, but they had to convert the list to a pand…

> A person's total luck is constant over a lifetime Ah yes, the much revered cosmological fairness constraint.

In my workplace AI has more credibility than humans, so dropping a block of claude with attribution can be: - A way to convince others of your position. - A way to demonstrate that…

Battlemage had the best perf/% and most the driver issues from Alchemist had been ironed out. Another generation or two of steady progress and intel have a big winner on their hand…

The first time founders I had couldn't keep 100% of the equity out of the VCs pockets, so YMMV.

Isn't it obvious that (2) in practice entirely negates (1)? In Australia we recently had a proposed law to prohibit information that "potentially undermines faith in the banking se…

What's the better kafka/redis? Mongo I know you can just use your favorite relational tool with JSON support if needed (PG/MYSQL)

Not sure but molotov-ribbentrop provides an interesting precedent.

Yes and to me it is a fine tone for all of 'hacker' culture if you will. Perhaps not if you were giving a presentation to your boss, but as this is a message between peers it seems…

I'm thinking about him every day lately due to a new set of AMD GPU drivers which has stopped my pc from being able to reliably wake from sleep.

You also have the crazies that initially advocated for the policy now reversing their positions.
