> the door is open for this after AI systems have gathered enough "training data"? Sounds more like the door is open for this once reliability targets are met. I don't think that's…

Following US sales tax has way more complexity. In my county alone there are many different rates depending on the city in which the sale is made. Even just finding out authoritati…

When Trump said NATO allies needed to increase defense spending, did he mean it to protect against US?

Right, I don't! it's the other way around where I live. Lots of pedestrians distractingly lolling about in the bike lane, maybe with a dog and a loose toddler too. So, music.

Too many close calls with inattentive pedestrians in my area. I ring, no move, or worse, they get startled, and turn around into the middle of the bike lane. If I have to choose be…

This is my reason for blasting music from my bicycle. Feels less rude than clicking a bell at the pedestrians and somewhat more effective at attracting attention.

It's not arbitrage until you can make money by selling something that costs you less than what you bought it for. What it is is bundled product (item + shipping) being priced lower…

"Laid off" may be more appropriate than "fired", but in essence, removing the need for costly labor is often the main "value" of any technology. Society as a whole comes out ahead …

TFA mentions that some sequencers at the time did not support generating at more than one decimal place

That looks like it's trying to do too much and too little. Too smart for a dumb phone, too limited for a smart phone. The hard keyboard feels antediluvian now that we have swipe or…

Meanwhile the "other" French insect farming startup seems to be doing fine (Innovafeed)

This is informative for an indie audio podcast. I wonder how the economics and scale change for podcasts published by studios like Audible or even smaller ones like Pushkin

Did this change? I stopped reading the print version for lack of time a few years back, and there was definitely some full-page and margin advertising throughout the paper. I recal…

You might also need different systems for low-cardinality, low-latency production monitoring (where you want to throw alerts quickly and high cardinality fields would just get in t…

When these companies were founded, they had nowhere near the scale and resources in the hands of the current set of folks. Zuckerberg at 28 was riding a bike and this is a rocketsh…

In my experience, discernment and good judgment. The "generating ideas" capabilities is good. The text summarization capabilities are great. However when it comes to making reasone…

There are really two kinds of "small bugs". 1) Things that have existed in your product for decades and haven't been major strategic issues. 2) Things that arose recently in the wa…

Thanks, these are good examples of holes in typescript that I wasn't aware of. I guess I haven't pushed it enough yet to run into them. I agree Ocaml wouldn't fail. > I can't see w…

Ocaml has exactly the same kinds of escape hatches, like Obj.magic or unsafe accessors. The way I see it. it's a matter of community practice more than language capabilities. Types…

Both languages have robust and expressive type systems. My experience is that TypeScript's is also more flexible. In Ocaml everything is cool as long as you stick with the function…

I loved Ocaml but now I love TypeScript more. It's got about the same amount of type safety, the ergonomics are better to me, and the packaging and ecosystem tooling are leaps and …

This is such a better response than "wow some people really are stoopid"

Organizational unit, location, etc all these concepts were pretty dumb to tie with digital identity in retrospect.

I feel the experience of many people writing with ASN.1 is that of dealing with PKI or telecom protocols, which attempt to build worldwide interop between actually very different s…
