use ai to read it. we're increasingly moving to world of ai reading the ai slop that someone else wrote to basically get back their original prompt.

I have so little faith in "high-level" officials that I prefer our AI overlords.

One beer company tried to do it. But because beer has vitamins in it, they were prohibited from doing it as it might have made the beer seem healthy.

and it's wrong. a 6000 line class is not easier for a model to understand. the same things that help humans also help agents. I find myself adding linters that must pass and the agent muss fix that limit file size, function length, function complexity, how many files in a directory. a little more work for the agent, but the codebase is healthier and the agents write fewer bugs.

Gemini models have consistently disregarded rules and gone their own way for me. They will finish a task and get it done frequently way above the scope that you gave it, but they take a million shortcuts to get there. e.g. deciding the linter isn't important and disabling the pre commit hook. coding features you didn't ask for.

I tried reading Myth of Sisyphus by Camus recently. I found it tedious and boring. Sort of a rehash of stoic and Taoist teaching. Yes embrace the absurd but sooo long winded. Has anyone else read this, am I missing something?

My iphone 15 pro max. manufactured in Aug 2023. 536 cycles. is at 84%. I doubt it will make it to 1k at above 80%.

only true for commodities

It's literally how you got those things. Without leverage to get them, they would have just been complaints. You ask what you can do, and then you do it.

Maduro was president of a sovereign country.

It's funny how we accept the importance given to that statement. when he's just some dude who took control of a country and gave himself that title. As if the social construction means anything in this situation.

They aren’t necessarily experts at using Llm’s. They have different incentives as well

I helped fund that kickstarter. The first season released on that kickstarter was such a disappointment. As if they forgot to be funny.

California has the worst roads of any state I've driven in. San Fran and San Jose, rank among the top 10 in the country of the worst roads. Whatever they are using it for, isn't for road maintenance.

They should get out of that business altogether and let anyone sue an airline

This is par for the course. We've had the gulf of tonkin incident, and weapons of mass destruction. The difference is now we have more information, so it only looks like it's gotten worse.

I bought a t-mobile g1 the first android phone. At the time my school's wifi needed you to log in every time you joined the network. I wrote an app that logged you in automatically. Solved a need I had, I then put in in the app store for $0.99 and sold a few hundred.

I went to a small company career fair for the free lunch. When they saw I had an app in the app store, I had immediate interest and got an internship.

This would have prevented me from publishing my first app, which ended up getting me my first job and a great career.

I've always had the sense that Google was really bad at negotiating.

A big centralized government bank is not somehow going to be magically better than multiple commercial banks. At best it would be equally bad but more likely it will be worse than the dmv and irs put together. Going to the bank will be like doing your taxes. Maybe it would be so bad that it would solve this problem because people would have cash.

I’m in a similar boat. Header files typically led to faster compile times. OCMock worked like magic.

Where both languages are poor is how large the binaries they produce are.

I’m most productive when I’m having fun. There’s always going to be not fun shit. Is on you to find the fun and on the employer to make it possible. Otherwise I’m unable to give my best.

The way they carry themselves it's like they know it.

They would have posted and much fewer people would have seen the announcements. You have to go where the users are.

Gravitational waves warp space/time. so the distance between two points will be slightly longer/shorter.

Patagonia is pushing polyester with its associated micro-plastics, instead of the renewable natural fibers that they were using before like wool. Good, evil, depends on who is counting.

They had bad numbers and the ceo went, fuck the stock price, I need everyone to know this wasn’t my fault. I had no faith in management after that. I sold all my chgg stock.

I would not reccomend TWSBI for beginners, I find that the nibs are way to finicky. I needed to tune mine a bit before it wrote well. Pilot and Lamy are great out of the box.

Techies can best influence by understanding why sms otp is popular and come up with something better.

Not only do you need to understand what shortcoming sms has, but non cynically understand why other solutions are worse.

I bought a used nuc computer on eBay for less than $100 recently. It’s much more powerful than a pi. Used computers are some of the best bargains now.
