Because the bottom tier of teachers have done wrong, it invalidates the whole system?

We all have a story of a favorite teacher, someone who inspired through story, who asked more from us, even when ourselves didn’t believe we’d achieve.

Violence is not acceptable, verbal and physical.

Even if their home life is a train wreck. It can be an explanation, but not a justification.

Robby is well known in the Ruby community.

Don't these datasets already exist in terms of the real-world samplings we have when training robots to do every day tasks?

I had an Apple 2+ back in 1992. It was an old computer, even then.

The Apple 2+ only supported displaying capital letters.

I remember calling a few local BBSes using terminal software that let me press the right arrow (I think) and the character key, and it would display the character inverted (white background, black letter).

Hayes 1200 baud serial modem (I think) hooked up to a serial card.

That's how I knew I was sending a capital letter.

Not sure if it was Kermit though..

I'd want cleaning to happen every day during the week/

Probably $80/day for someone to do everything I want done. 20 days a month.

$1,600/month.

It'd take two years, and the robot has paid for itself.

Most people finance vehicles that cost much more than 20K.

I'd gladly pay or finance a robot that could have dishes clean, laundry folded, and carpets vacuumed by the time our family got home.

Anecdotally, whenever I go swimming with my kids in the summer, and I don't put sunscreen on right away, but let myself get some intense direct sun, I feel good and sleep really well that night.

As long as I don't let myself get in a red, sunburn situation.

Genuine question - why would someone hold bitcoin for regular, everyday purchases?

The buying power is all over the place.

Never understood why Facebook hasn't implemented the 'Explain this post' type feature that you see on X (@grok).

Facebook seems to be the most misinformed audience - an LLM fact checker would be a great addition.

The reverse can be true too.

Don't make a bad situation worse.

It's a tradeoff.

Generating a feature that is 90% correct in a tenth of the time is a reasonable tradeoff if you're trying to gain traction.

Generating a feature that is 90% correct in a tenth of the time, risking a multi-billion-dollar business, is a terrible tradeoff.

Claude Code already has that with channels. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/channels-reference

No need for OpenClaw.

Everyone is obsessed with speed.

But no one wants to go out of their house.

Social connections. Trust. Facetime. All matter more than ever.

Want a moatable software business? Know your customers on a personal level. Have a personal relationship. Know the people that sign the contracts, know their kids names, where they vacationed last winter, their favorite local restaurant.

Get out of the house.

Imagine if they were able to support iMessage.

South Carolina's beginning teacher salary is $42,500.

That's at 125% above the poverty level.

It's an un-invite. A hollow gesture.

Google's Gemini can read Google Docs directly.

They really don't want you to use another LLM product.

So they make the setup as difficult as possible.

I thought it was only me.

The autocomplete has a preference for proper nouns, even when they make zero sense .

The next suggested word is, at best, naive. Using the previous word, it would be clear that the subsequent suggestion would not be reasonable.

Not my experience at all.

It fails to be pro-active. "Why didn't you run the tests you created?"

I want it to tell me if the implementation is working.

Feels lazy. And it hallucinates solutions frequently.

It pales in comparison to CC/Opus.

Have you tried Opus 4.5?

It's an absolute workhorse.

It is so proactive in fixing blockers - 90% of the time for me, choosing the right path forward.

Offshoring support for financial data should be illegal.

Even if they find the inside individuals, how could anyone ever present a legal case?

A concerted effort to consume 2-4g of potassium daily has definitely helped lower my blood pressure.

I'd be wary of the sugars in bananas and orange juice.

Are there any software engineers here that believe in the afterlife?

This was reverted.

Growth through savings is limited.

Greed is sustainable.

When there's enough money on the sidelines, the pendulum swings, and big bets come back in fashion.

Downsizing is not a big bet.

Nobody leads tech to save billions and have money sit on the sidelines. It's a weak, shallow bet that should be reserved for discount retail and commodity markets.

The savings will be spent on engineering, eventually.

Is Bitcoin in jeopardy?

Does this web interface have support for AWS Bedrock?

There is a nutritional lens that rarely gets talked about.

Magnesium glycinate, magnesium threonate, l-theanine, inositol, NAC - all have been both calming and help with negative ruminations, for me.

I've been pretty harsh on myself over the years.

I started carrying around a photo of myself as a kid. I'm sitting against a wall, by a pillar, at our state capital. My eyes are shut. I was kind of a shy kid.

When I start to get frustrated and talk to myself in that short, abrasive, condescending tone, I think of that photo and of myself, as still that kid.

It helps me to be more compassionate towards myself in those moments. I'm still that shy kid trying to make sense of the world.

I'm 47.

What a great site. Thanks for sharing!

You can swap out the ActionCable backend with different providers.

Redis, postgres. I think there's a couple of commercial offerings.

solid_cable is a database polling mechanism which can also be swapped in.
