I'm waiting for the return of the interrobang (‽). I've used em-dashes for years, down to having an xmodmap for it, also for my beloved interrobang.

I'd argue that the panic as default answer isn't purely calls, it's also outlook, even financial trauma. I know of several people who could easily weather said layoffs, who don't need to work, but would be complete wrecks. They're just built this way.

This anecdote is just that - a one off. We can use experiments, and papers to learn more, and should.

The problem is incentives. The organization selling the per-token model doesn't have the incentive, at scale to have you reduce token consumption. Other technologies do, hence adding value.

This is very much my take. As long as the general rule is a lack of long PRs, I think we get into a good place. Blueskying, scaffolding, all sorts of things reasonably end up in long PRs.

But, it becomes incumbent on the author to write a guide for reviewing the request, to call the reviewer's attention to areas of interest, perhaps even to outline decisions made.

This is already how it works today. If there demand curve shows an increase in desire for the same items in another jurisdiction, rather then make more and ship for <x> location, they are reshipped from your geography, even store to store.

Secondly, disposal is one of two things:

1. Donation to a company that collects clothes, who in reality sell these clothes by the tonnage. Most of the clothing recyclers are companies of this nature.

2. Sale at a low value to the company above.

We're witnessing a bailout and downloading of costs, at scale. Whether or not one buys into whatever the vision of these companies are - it's clear, there's interdealing.

Tesla theoretically now owns a chunk of xAI... whose valuation will no doubt increase due to the internalized SpaceX acquisition. Append to this a future IPO, as discussed in the artice, presumably an eventual premium of 20-50% (reasonable, 14% purely for the ibankers when this will happen)... yields to an interesting bailout situation.

To me, the real question is why. The $2B from Tesla can't possibly move the needle for any party involved in this transaction. If this were to be work 50x as opposed to a potential 50% upside (hell, make it 2x for argument's sake) it still doesn't compute. So what's the actual reason.

To me this misses a third group, those using these tools as a series of virtual teammates, a mock team member with which to ping pong possibilities.

This is actually the greatest use case I see, and interact with.

This nails my issue with systems design insanity. There are so many things you learn through living with systems that are correct, though counterintuitive.

Do a thing. Write rubbish code. Build broken systems. Now scale scale. Then learn how to deal with the pattern changing as domains specific patterns emerge.

I watched this at play with a friend's startup. He couldn't get response times within the time period needed for his third party integration. After some hacking, we opted to cripple his webserver. Turns out that you can slice out mass amounts of the http protocol (and in that time server overhead) and still meett all of your needs. Sure it needs a recompile - but it worked and scaled, far more then anything else they did. Their exit proved that point.

Calcalist is the news source for the tech community here in Israel. Admittedly the English site is complete rubbish compared to the Hebrew site - but it's still THE local source.

No, much of this is a political issue. America wants food standards that are different from many trading partners; fair enough. But it makes it impossible to export many farm goods as a result. This is outside of the current political climate, and has been going on for ages. It's just coming it a head now.

As another 10+ year Nova Launcher user, I appreciate this. I bought prime forever ago (3x actually as I moved domains), I'll happily use Octopi on my tablet. Thanks again!

I don't think the dream of replacing developers, in particular exists. Specialization of labour leads to increased costs, due to value placed on said specialized labour. Software development, is one form of specialized manufacturing, and hence is more costly. Within software development, similar strata exists, leading to increased value on increased specialization, and hence the pyramid effect. The same is true within any field.

Similarly, one might argue as increased capital finds its way to a given field, due to increased outcomes, labour in turn helps pressure pricing. Increased "sales" opportunity within said field (i.e people being skilled enough to be employed, or specialized therein) will similarly lead to pricing pressure - on both ends.

I went down a similar path, sans book. I opted to remove processed foods from my diet in its entirety - to be clear, I consider neither oil, nor vinegar to be processed. This has resulted in basically the only processed food in my life now being soy sauce.

The hard reality is that food, which I already enjoyed, tastes significantly better. Similarly, when I fall off the wagon and have some UPF (crips).. it just tastes flat. Highly recommended, even without the health benefits, frankly.

This is meaningless, even with "Wall Street", as you've said. Several companies raise funds, to buy these homes. Institutions the like of Blackrock and REITs invest in these funds, all the time. This isn't new at all, and has been happening for years. It's just been accelerating. Add to that startups like Arrived, and there's simply more pressure on this market then ever before, sadly.

Without knowing the author, I wonder if that's a natural construct in their native language. As I've moved from Canada, I find myself consciously having to check to see if I've written "I", or "one", given that my local language, places a preferred conjugation in the you imperative.

You're 100% correct. I had a CVE reported to me in ~2022, shortly after the ChatGPT launch. I spent 4 hours slicing and dicing the issue, responding to how it was wrong, linking to background information, specific lines in the code, and then asking for or what am I missing. The response was literally "shrugs AI". Good for them.

I've been running Linux in laptops, as painful as it can be since the 90s. The answer is that it depends on the laptop.

Appreciate the SearXNG mention. Learned something new, thank you!

They do, but you sell forward contracts instead. This is perfectly legal, and the approach I've seen. There are a few companies, and even funds that will engage in this, in an effort to attain future upside.

Unless I'm missing it, the linuxserver have a container you can use. There's also containerssh (which I use all the time)

I still love NFS. It's a cornerstone to how I end up thinking about many problems. In my house it provides a simple NAS mount. In certain development environments, I use sshmount because of it.

But I really loved the lesser known RFS. Yes it wasn't as robust, or as elegent.. but there's nothing quite like mounting someone else's sound card and blaring music out of it, in order to drive a prank. Sigh...

I live in a city like this. We have muni employees, a hospital, some startups, plenty of non-tech jobs. There are doctors, lawyers, accountants, tradespeople, restaurants.. 80k is a LOT of people.

Absolutely. My current role involves literally chasing down all these integration point issues - and they keep changing! Not everything has the luxury of being built on a stable, well tested base.

I'm having the most fun I've had in ages. It's like being Sherlock Holmes, and construction worker all at once.

Print statements, debuggers, memory analyzers, power meters, tracers, tcpump - everything has a place, and the problem space helps dictate what and when.

Not that I'm a fan of spyware, but isn't this effectively barking at the wind. We're either getting Google's approved spyware, Samsung's approved spyware, or <insert shady> spyware. Sure, we all implement blocks, and things like blocking VPNs and the like.... but the reality is also IP (not DNS) based for tier two of getting around blocks, in applications that they solve the dns blocking issue.

Combine this with the common method of literally fetching static files with updated IPs from AWS IPs, github gists, and other "safe" static hosts... Ultimately, your device connects to the internet, and you become the product.

I wrote, and sold my first piece of software in HyperCard. It was a pretty lame Choose Your Own Adventure style game, where you clicked on buttons, having read the text. 7 year old me was pretty chuffed, to buy some baseball cards out of his hobby. I really, really miss that world.

I don't look at a map whilst riding a bike period. I don't have that want. Differently people use tech differently.

This is the first time I've seen the product, and I was immediately excited.. until I saw the product.

Now, I don't know what it does that my $40 smart watch doesn't do, by passing my voice to google / alexa / <choice>. I like where this is going, I just don't think that this generation has even the same features, as what I carry on my wrist, sadly.

The best person I ever worked with, understood that their soft skills were infinitely more important then their technical skills. They brought brilliant coding, architectural, and system design skills to the table. They were an amazing mentor - none of that was important.

This individual, inherently understood that the method with which they communicate, could be different for different individuals. As a result they changed their messaging, their body language, their wording, depending on with whom they communicated. They still said the same thing(s), but it was how.
