Elixir is Lisp with sprinkles on top

Our Fiscal Year starts in October but one of a subsidiaries start in March which means we're often in different fiscal years. Make sure to account for that. We need to translate between real dates to fiscal dates all the time.

No they haven't. Fortnight has an ingane currency and someone just launched a crypto with the same name that is not affiliated to epic games. This is a scam trying to pretend it's a somewhat legitimate coin, if you still believe in these.

More and more I find code like this. When you dig into an interesting aspect it's just an llm call. I haven't decided yet if it's good or bad. But it does seem to work a most of the time.

The problem is that we're used to code that works all the time or none of the time. With LLMs you can't know if it's right for sure and it's really hard to check.

That may be true for a lot of people. But no matter how much you hate a specific company this just isn't true for most people.

For me personally it would be an immense boost to morale. Getting any offer would boost morale but a top tier tech company is the Pinnacle.

I just wanted to mention another cool alternative

The author has a YouTube channel where he actually solves a lot of the problems step by step. Really cool as a learning resource

How can you be stuck at 128kbps in 2025? Are you in jail? I'm very intrigued.

What about GitHub code spaces?

I was confused about the license.

From the FAQ:

"Yaak is still open source under the MIT license. You can view, modify, and run the source code for both personal and commercial use. Licensing applies only to the prebuilt binaries."

Is there differences on the compiled binary vs what I'd get compiling it myself?

Being able to detect a single electron among billions sounds more like a good way to get entropy rather than something that can help with quantum measurements. At least that's my initial intuition being completely ignorant in Quantum Computing.

There's a lot. But you don't need it all. Just choose well and keep it simple.

These days I find it very easy to recommend Astro for instance. It is batteries included enough you really don't need anything else.

Bun, deno and Hono are other projects that simplify a lot of the tooling by including most of what you need out of the box.

I'd argue that if you choose any of the options above web dev is easier than ever.

I'll suggest maybe tailscale is what you are looking for to share with family a VLAN

Congress has "supposedly" seen the evidence, but is confidential. But more than that they seem to be acting in something that can happen more than in something that has happened already

They had the option to divest into an American entity. But failed or didn't want to do it.

You have the freedom of speech to manipulate and be anti-democratic as long as you are the US government or bound by its control.

You can buy SaaS kits that include a frontend with pricing pages, backend and all code necessary to wrap any API and resell at a profit.

When you do that you are just putting the whole book into context for openAI to reason about. That works if the work of smaller than the context.

For longer documents or for groups of documents you need a kind of search to extract the most relevant passages to throw in the context.

That is RAG. That search you do.

It's usually a semantic search using embedded data created by a specialized model to create these embeds and a specific algorithm to chunk the document into smaller pieces to derive meaning from.

So you have multiple pieces involved into the job. A chunker, an embbeder model, a vector database, etc.

I fully agree and have said it for years.

Microsoft is the main culprit of DNT failures.

The longer the context the more backtracking it needs to do. It gets exponentially more expensive. You can increase it a little, but not enough to solve the problem.

Instead you need to chunk your data and store it in a vector database so you can do semantic search and include only the bits that are most relevant in the context.

LLM is a cool tool. You need to build around it. OpenAI should start shipping these other components so people can build their solutions and make their money selling shovels.

Instead they want end user to pay them to use the LLM without any custom tooling around. I don't think that's a winning strategy.

Very nice effect. I love these more creative realistic elements.

This one reminds me of this cool card effect

Python strength is not the syntax but the standard and 3rd party libraries.

Maybe we could introduce some nuance on the law. Maybe just issue a warning and a fine, not necessarily a full on recall.

Why do we have only the nuclear recourse?

In Brazil there is a recent trend with gambling called "fortune tiger" aka "tigrinho". It's just a ridiculous ugly slot machine. You can pickup and play in a second.

You see people playing while working in the cities. Mostly poor people playing.

YouTube is completely inundated with videos revealing the, I kid you not, "best strategy".

These are made with a special version of the app for influencers that have a higher chance of gain, apparently this is well known.

Here's a recent video from just yesterday with a "strategy" https://youtu.be/sDQdIUl777M?si=-0tZ0OMN3HeQtFdn

Here's reporting on the issue 11 months ago.

As a long time Google sheets user I recently was involved in a project for one of these Excel heavy enterprises.

I proposed the CRUD solution to complement their use case but the solution was not received well. They couldn't allocate computer resources to host the solution within their infra easily. So they pushed back and asked us to develop some Excel add-on, PowerBI based dashboard or some kind of Microsoft no code I can't care enough to remember the name.

I had no experience with PowerBI at all. But had a lot of fun learning about it. Great ideas on that piece of software but ultimately it's too hard for Excel users and too finicky for real data processing other than very simple stuff.

It failed spectacularly in the end. We could never make it work reliably and the customer also skimped on the license and didn't want to add some extra features M$ft charges on the side such as power automate and some "advanced instances". Which meant the software runs have to be manually triggered on the managers machine to update the dashboards. It was nasty.

The end result is completely unmaintainable. A collection of "M" scripts inside a power bi dashboard, it pulled data from multiple spreadsheets from specific locations, joined and processed the data, and generated reports. The scripts runs on a Thinkpad so it needs to fit inside the machine constraints of memory and processing. Some of the files are manually updated so very easy to mess up the format or permissions to the point the whole thing broke.

It was a cool experience I'm never repeating

Sure and we could also run these LLMs on Arduino s because why not?

Yes. All the time, just not for the things you and I buy such as groceries and transportation.

Instead Bitcoin is used to buy illegal products and services such as drugs, weapons, politicians and hit men

  "In March, diaper-maker Oji Holdings announced it would stop making baby nappies to focus on making adult diapers."

That is wild

I believe he sold his participation on the redis company far before the shit show.

I think the proposal is actually good for people like you.

You can choose to just work with the core and maybe a minimal sugar library. Which will probably be faster and don't include "all the language features that were forced upon you".
