1) Glorified doc search

2) Mechanical operations (e.g. translate this SQL query into a knex query)

3) Code review, verification of modern idiomatic approaches in languages I use infrequently

Can't get past the location setup. I click "use device location", authorize it in the browser, click save, and nothing happens.

Sunk cost fallacy is real.

ITT: company that sells product for breaking PR into smaller PRs claims smaller PRs are better.

Not saying the claim is necessarily wrong, but it's also exactly what I'd expect given the source.

I'm sad that AppCode is being abandoned instead of updated for the new SwiftUI world.

The ticking clock being an actual clock is a nice touch.

100-200, you say? Sounds familiar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_number

Kid Pix memories unlocked!

I'm a fan of the Buddhist approach of "right speech": Is it timely, true, gentle, beneficial, and spoken with a mind of good-will? If so, say it.

I'd at least define it as "not just parked for profit."

I miss the early days of the internet when the playing field was level. You could actually get a really cool/good/interesting domain just by thinking of it first, not by being rich.

Don't date robots!

Not to mention: where are you going to put it? People who can't afford a house also often can't afford land, and you can't generally finance a land purchase with a mortgage, either (especially if you're dropping something like a Jupe there instead of planning to build a stick-built house).

So... does this murder SSDs?

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. 1GB == 0B. Full prize money delivered upon successfully achieving enlightenment.

Reasons vary by tool, but some include: Speed, composability (see the "Rule of Composition" from the Unix philosophy), and the ability to be run in a remote terminal

It isn't reasonable to compare the 7B model with the likes of ChatGPT 3.5 which has 175 billion parameters. Stability does have plans to produce a comparable model, though. Right now they're working on models up to 65 billion parameters.

This is just the very early stages of development, and the exciting thing is that it's something you can actually run yourself and it's freely usable for commercial use.

> We have -not- really even discussed, much consider, the implications of having a central system with machine intelligence designed to extract features, patterns, emotions, assumed motives, ..., having access to the entire digital lives of societies.

Actually we've pretty much been watching that play out for years now, even if the technology hasn't been in its final form for the duration. Results have already been a wee bit society-destroying.

More than anything else software engineering most closely resembles a trade.

The majority of useful education comes from mentorship and on-the-job experience. Sure, you can get a formal education, and sure it helps, but it doesn't make you a useful software engineer. It just gives you a foundation to build upon through mentorship and experience.

Maybe, or it might just have been convenient to evolve that way since there was already a high-bandwidth sensory system there.

Imagine the day we have high-refresh, color e-ink displays to pair with high performance ARM chips.
