In Ontario where I live its municipal housing that's the problem. In Kitchner/Waterloo where I live local government is hung up on affordable housing in projects like apartment building construction. Ironically because of all the stalling and inaction no housing is afordable for anyone much less the so called poor and disadvantaged they think they are fighting for.

Isn't this referred to as Load Shedding in some circles? If its not, can someone explain how its different?

Thanks. I will. I must confess, I have not tried the top_p or seed value. I guess my naive belief was that the the defaults in the api matched the OOTB experience of the web interface. shame on me

Yes. Attempts to match api with the chat interface have proved futile. The api never seems to behave in the same way as the chat interface.

Thank you. This is a really good explainer for what is happening.

In other words, The cloud has no soul. Just as devs were partitioned into front and backend and full stack. Admins are going through a similar transformation.

I guess this was a mercy killing.

1995 - 1996

Bob Killed by Microsoft 28 years ago, Bob was a Microsoft project intended to provide a personalized alternative interface for the Windows operating system. It was 10 months old.

This whole book is a fascinating read of the origins of the PC industry. There was nothing like it when I read it 1986, except for maybe Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder.

Nice summary of the cottage industry surrounding gameboy and other handhelds

The best thing about Turbo Pascal was its speed and stopping on the first error it found. The Pascal compiler I used on the DG Eclipse would "fix" missing semi colons and would print out all kinds of bizzare errors confusing students and professors alike.

I see lots of people saying the code is suspect, but I never hear about using LLMs for writing tests to validate their own code or LLM code. My success has been in generating test. Often faster and simpler than I would write by myself. What I test I can trust, especially if it comes out of an LLM.

When I see this. I am reminded of the quote from Alan Kay:

People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.

Circumstances seem to have changed somewhat. I just hit the status page and it’s showing issues since last night :

Update - We are dealing with periodic outages due to an abnormal traffic pattern reflective of a DDoS attack. We are continuing work to mitigate this. Nov 08, 2023 - 19:49 PS

Anyone know if there will be a Dev Kit 2024 for this?

Am I missing something? This sounds like private relay on IOS but with Google in the middle?

Can someone explain how this is possible? Doesn’t US currency have the phrase “This note is legal tender for all debts public and private” which I understood this to mean it should be accepted for settlement of financial transactions.

This is digital shrinkflation

I don’t know. Europe still seems to be living the USB-A life. Only the 2023 Volvo I rented had USB-C in it. Planes, trains, hotel rooms, coffee shops across Germany, France and Belgiums where I travelled were all using the old connector. What good is having a universal cable if I have to carry a dongle to use it ?

Similar to your approach, I sketch out the signatures - ask the LLM to write the unit tests and then I write the actual implementation. If there is a hallucination in the test code, it shows up as a failing test that can be shaken out by some introspection. I enjoy writing the actual code but hate the tedium of writing tests. I’m also feel that I’m less likely to prompt the LLM into reproducing someone else’s code into my system. I know the probability isn’t zero but it doesn’t seem to be as likely.

Along with Ivan Sutherland he did a lot of foundational work in computer graphics. His PhD was 32 pages, describing this algorithm.

No numbers, but anecdotally we turned off DKIM. Telling end users we are rejecting their otherwise email because they don’t have DKIM implemented. SPF and DMARC compliance got better over time but DKIM compliance just never did get better.

All this says is that the interection with twitter is larger than it is with threads. By this logic Instagram must be dead and burried given that the last HN post from instagram.com was 37 days ago.

Sad in a way. the classic NUC form factor is all I expect we will see going forward. I don't expect we will see anything interesting or different like the beast canyon, ghost canyon or raptor canyon form factors again

I’d recommend reading Andy Hertzfeld’s _Revolution in the Valley_. He, amongst others, was a principle dev on the Macintosh project at Apple.

Also see : https://www.folklore.org/ all kinds of short stories about the early days of the Macintosh

Was cool to see that @davePL contributed to this effort. If you dont know he was a MS dev during silver age of MS during the Windows 95->NT-2000-XP era. Its worth following him on twitter and youtube.

You are correct they should both be using the Common Air Quality Index (CAQI). There is a new standard the EAQI and perhaps Germany has already switched to that standard.

I think you meant 3800 meters which is about 12500 feet

They may have the code but lack a tool chain to compile it.

I just can’t imagine this is the Reddit that Aaron Swartz would have wanted
