This is exactly what I've been trying to figure out. At some point the LLM needs to produce text, even if it is structured outputs, and to do that it needs careful prompting. I'd love to see how that works.

I keep seeing people make this claim that cattle spend their entire lives on feed lots, but I've never seen this anywhere and I've been all over cattle country. Where do they do this? Because around here feedlots are only for finishing cattle and typically only spend about 2-3 months there after having very happy lives as calves on a ranch.

Isn’t this really just going back to the server side templating days and using jquery to load html snippets?

In a good RAG system this should be solved by unrelated text not being available in the context. It could actually improve your chats by quickly removing unrelated parts of the conversation.

Kids aren't that expensive. I have a friend in the midwest with 5 kids and his family income is about $60k. They have 3 cars, own their home and go on vacation a few times a year. But they never eat out, and have a strict budget.

People complaining about money and kids and meanwhile their Great Depression era ancestors are looking at them with unending shame.

It's criminal that the US is spending money on SLS when it is so incredibly inefficient and will very likely be completely outclassed in cost and operational ability by Starship.

I was wondering if you're aware that China possesses nuclear weapons and the reactors needed to produce more. Also, do you believe that all nuclear reactors function identically, being used for both power generation and weapon creation? And about France, what are your thoughts on their nuclear policies? Do you feel they are continuously producing weapons, or is there just a misunderstanding about nuclear power as a political issue leading to snap judgments?

And people seem to ignore Israel's stated goal. They no longer find it possible to live next to Hamas and are fighting a war of unconditional surrender and occupation.

So it is confusing when people claim Israel has far surpassed any proportional response as Israel was never attempting tit-for-tat, but unconditional surrender.

We've had about 20% total inflation since 2021. In some sectors it is higher and some lower. Even Amazon's recent history of price gouging is only going to add up to peanuts on their yearly gross. I think it's more people just don't understand compounding rates and if you inject more dollars into the economy than there are goods and services, you'll have more dollars chasing those same goods and services.

Ever since food inflation has gotten so crazy, I've been buying bags of potatoes and nuking 3 at a time for a meal/snack. Like 3 potatoes leaves me feeling stuffed, but is only maybe 300 calories. So not only am I healthier, but I feel full longer, and am almost back to my college wrestling weight.

Once you find a diet that is healthy and works, I don't think you're supposed to ever get off of it. It's kind of a tautology that the people getting off their diets gained back their original weight.

Wow, two questions.

Are we really supposed to be committing after each logical block of code or change? Like a white line fixup or a small new function added?

And what the heck is he going to do for money? I didn't seem him mention a new job and he's sleeping until noon on a Tuesday. How do people live knowing their savings is slowly disappearing and nothing is on the horizon?

For some reason there's not a lot of academic interest in homeschool outcomes, so there's not much data out there. But the data that is out there shows why parents who turn to homeschooling almost never turn back.

And I've never met a homeschooled kid who didn't seem weird. And by weird, I mean able to easily discuss complex topics with adults, showing not only competent conversation skills, but broad knowledge of the world and how it works.

It’s either a (relatively) small solid or molten/fluid core. We don’t know for sure.

What always bothers me is Jupiter isn’t considered the hottest planet, but I guarantee where it transitions from gas to liquid/solid is far hotter than anywhere else.
