> Here's something most developers overlook: if an LLM has a 2% JSON defect rate, and Response Healing drops that to 1%, you haven't just made a 1% improvement. You've cut your defects, bugs, and support tickets in half.
This sounds AI written.
$1,360 a year. Use it to buy higher quality goods that will save you more in the long run. Use the ongoing $1,360 a year PLUS the accumulating savings gained from the higher quality goods to repeat at higher levels.
A lot of the discourse about poverty reminds me of this:
I do occasional work for my hospital’s Addiction Medicine service, and a lot of our conversations go the same way.
My attending tells a patient trying to quit that she must take a certain pill that will decrease her drug cravings. He says it is mostly covered by insurance, but that there will be a copay of about one hundred dollars a week.
The patient freaks out. “A hundred dollars a week? There’s no way I can get that much money!”
My attending asks the patient how much she spends on heroin.
The patient gives a number like thirty or forty dollars a day, every day.
My attending notes that this comes out to $210 to $280 dollars a week, and suggests that she quit heroin, take the anti-addiction pill, and make a “profit” of $110.
At this point the patient always shoots my attending an incredibly dirty look. Like he’s cheating somehow. Just because she has $210 a week to spend on heroin doesn’t mean that after getting rid of that she’d have $210 to spend on medication. Sure, these fancy doctors think they’re so smart, what with their “mathematics” and their “subtracting numbers from other numbers”, but they’re not going to fool her.
At this point I accept this as a fact of life. Whatever my patients do to get money for drugs – and I don’t want to know – it’s not something they can do to get money to pay for medication, or rehab programs, or whatever else. I don’t even think it’s consciously about them caring less about medication than about drugs, I think that they would be literally unable to summon the motivation necessary to get that kind of cash if it were for anything less desperate than feeding an addiction.

How much would you save yearly if you didn't have a dog?
A few accumulated years of those savings would let you buy a better-quality drier or washing machine - saving you from replacing them regularly, or replacing your damaged clothes.
Pets are a choice that's fairly high up the Maslow hierarchy. Get rid of them, get into a better position, build up some reserves, and leave your family in a better place than you started.
Also raise your family so they have the same mindset - they need to leave their children in a better place than they started.
If you can't bear to have a single good thing said about someone (anyone)... it may be time to consider whether you're taking it too far, and becoming someone who is working the political divisiveness that you abhor.
Take a break, walk outside, talk to some people... breathe.

Poplar is a very wet wood. It tends to take so long to dry, and then burns so quickly, that it isn't worth processing for firewood!
I thought Google was bad[0], but this is just one product from Microsoft.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Typhoid Mary so far!
And if you don't know, this is how you learn!
Were there significant productivity and quality improvements for a coffee break, when compared to a simple break of the same length without coffee?
My gut feel is that the important part here is the break, not the coffee — prior to that point it was common to work without stopping.
Is 'rate of default' the term you are looking for?
Business Development Representative.
You're fine.
If there is any possibility of legal action, it'll be against the users who use your platform to connect with SAP.
And it's very unlikely that SAP would take legal action against them - their account manager may be in touch to discuss, but they don't jump into action prematurely.
Also: if you're really worried, talk to a lawyer instead of strangers on the internet.
Excellent project!
When I run this, it succeeds fine but I get the message "This build of the DLL doesn’t implement the reference CPU-running Whisper model."
What does this mean? Also very interested in the hybrid option, how do you get this working, and does this use both GPU and CPU simultaneously?
We trusted our team blindly.
What happened?
Socioeconomic disparities make it difficult to raise a family due to cost of living
Rather, the number of children per family tends to go down as income increases - compare Congo (6.2 children per woman in 2020, $577.20 GDP per capita) with Norway (1.5 children per woman in 2020, $89,154.39 GDP per capita).
Seconded - it handles EPUBs also, which really makes it valuable for me.
It sounds like you're saying that early employees and founders have a similar level of rush, but vastly different levels of reward.
Why would anyone ever be an early employee when they can be a founder instead?
What!? Santa Clause isn't real?
Do you think people would be able to maintain 100% productivity when working 20 hours/week?
On the flip side; no one is productive 100% of the time.
If people worked 20 hours per week, the actual productive time would likely be between 5 and 10 hours per week.
I don't think that would be very binding at all.
If you signed a mortgage agreement with a bank and then emailed them a week later saying "actually, I didn't like that clause about paying interest — I explicitly refuse that clause", how legally binding do you think that would be?
If a specific clause is legally unenforceable, it will be unenforceable whether or not you've emailed the company about it.
It is an asset, unless you consider gold etc. to not be assets either?
NZ citizen here - zero Covid isn't plausible without regular lockdowns, for when Covid inevitably escapes quarantine.
We tried for zero Covid and failed.
Kiwi feathers feel a bit like stands of nylon - thick and fairly stiff.
As you say, it feels very unusual!
These calls exist because companies have learnt from wasting their time talking to people who can't afford it, aren't the decision maker and aren't interested in purchasing any time soon. The conversion rate of the sales profession is really low, and it can easily get an order of magnitude worse without qualification.
This reads like a LinkedIn post.
That would be who the "they" refers to, yes!
I wrote myself a tool to monitor the RSS feeds of a bunch of web serials, and send any new chapters to Kindle.
Using Calibre CLI, adapting to send EPUBs instead of MOBIs was as easy as changing from:
ebook-convert chapter.html chapter.mobi
To:
ebook-convert chapter.html chapter.epub
Calibre is incredibly powerful.
Wow, TIL — homemade CNC for under $500! The same project also covers homemade 3d printers.
Are there any other projects similar to this, making normally-expensive pieces of equipment approachable for hobbyists?
