Thanks for this. We are expecting one in two months (our first), and reading this made me happy.

> I would adore to see obtaining a drivers license ratchet up in difficulty in order to remove dangerous human drivers from the road.

I'd like to challenge this part. I don't see the value of increasing the driving license tests. Reckless drivers can be reckless regardless of their initial driving license tests. You just need drivers with sense of responsibilities. they will get to know road norms as they go, which often is far more valuable than the driving license quizzes.

Context: I moved to a new place where acquiring a license can take more than a year. It turns into a game where driving license companies deliberately fail you just to get you to pay more.

I can see the author's point but im failing to link it to ai. The ai im using now is a good as a productivity booster for otherwise already well defined problem-- and decently good engineers.

I dont think the layoffs are due to that. It is affecting entry jobs rather badly, but that (anecdotely) constitutes minority.

Add to it the ability to cut through the bullshit and follow through tasks till completion. The amount of bullshit that ICs, QAs, and products can spin in rounds and add to that the new bureaucracy that comes with being a manager is just unreal.

This time last year I was in Kampala for roughly 4 months. I used to cook at home and I avoided any process food. Zero to little carb. I was walking a lot though and quite regularly (the weather there is just so good). Now, one year later I moved to Dubai and I think I gained around 10kg.

The only difference being the amount of processed food and the lack of my daily walking routines. But granted, I gained 10kg while im on one meal a day.

Sonnet 4 seems like the sweet spot for every ai provider now. I wonder why oai couldn't match it

Not sure how that plays out with international law. It started to feel more like guidelines and less of rules. I get that it has always been the case, but this feels like the final straw.

Hi, what kind of ethical issues you might be thinking of?

Is cursor _that_ good on monorepo? My use with AI so far has been the chat interface. I provide a clear description of what i want and manually copy paste it. Using copilot, I couldn't buy their agentic mode nor adding files to the chat' session context. Gemini' large context has been really good handling large context, but still doesn't help much in refactoring.

Especially execs and management level

In a somewhat big org with expanding in hiring. I myself am quite new (~ 6 months), and we have many teams working on a monorepo. It helps a lot when you spend 10 mins with a new joiner and just explain to them the overall process(s) and the exact issue: hey I noticed that the pipeline is failing perhaps you didn't install a tool locally etc let me get this chance to get to know you while we go over this issue.

I have two middle names, in fact in my country legally we go with 4 names [first name, father's name, grandfather's name, and last name]. It is always a guess game when converting to only 2 names systems. In many cases I'd just go with my first name field including all of the first 3 names just to match the passport (especially for airflights booking).

My general workflow with ai so far has been this: - I use copilot mostly for writing unit tests. It mostly works well since the unit tests follow a standard template. - I use the chat one for alternating between different approaches and (in)validating certain approaches

My day job is a big monorepo, I have not investigated that yet but I believe the models context sizes fall short there and as such the above use cases only works for me.

I don't know what communities on WhatsApp are or how they work; but my work partner is heavy on using WhatsApp and those communities / channels help him to organize his work. So I guess we are not the target audience for that one

I hope that will allow for more "usability" for ipads. (yes, for ipad + keyboard you might as well just have macbook air, but maybe at least let's have that option)

As if Israil ever cared about civil vs combatants.

You are not alone in this.

This series of blog posts goes through various theories (and myths) regarding obesity.

>According to the data provided by OpenAI, that isn't true anymore

OpenAI main job is to sell that their models are better than human. I still remember when they're marketing their gpt-2 weights as too dangerous to release.

I think they were trying to say something along the lines of we wanted amazon to take full responsibility over a fork and to dedicate actual resources for it, such that it will be distinguishable from our product.

Is there a nice ebooks reader on android. The options I keep running to are rather very disappointing

As in ipython to python. Datasets does this but for me it feels too heavy.

A simple shell with autocompletion and history can a long way as my main quick-and-dirty sql explorations

i like sqlitebrowser, but i wish it had a cli interface. this seems to fill in this gap.

I have had this same encounter (in Arabic though). And I still vividly remember when it all made sense (that would be 24 years ago)

imaging a device so powerful as this new ipad, yet so useless. it baffles me that we have this great hardware only the software bit is lacking

Jesse Lyu (rabbit ceo) mentioned that they wouldn’t wait for os to avail and release sdks as it will take many years (paraphrasing).

The idea sounds I mean there’s Alexa (which is way cheaper) and shipping an AOSP with a Chinese vendor hardware is indeed manageable — but do we really want to have a ChatGPT-only 24/7? I highly doubt that, at least for me. I’m probably only chronically online for the social aspects of that, but had my interactions been only to an llm agent, I don’t think I’ll be using it that much.

I like to think 5 or 10 years later in the future and see how us and the newer generations would interact with technology but I find it difficult to envision that would be rabbit r1 device

(Off topic) but any chance you might include me in the ghostty private testers? (adonese@nil.sd)

how does compare to the rather resources-hog postman? My go-to setup for quick apis was curl with fish, as postman was growing it became so bloated i'd rather stick to my curl.

I have a mobile app sitting around. Wrote it in 2020ish, Corona year. The mobile app is written in flutter and the server is in Go, you probably know by now where I'm heading with this.

I cannot even express how hellish and nightmare that whole flutter thing is: I'm worried about the engine itself (there were breaking changes in the typing system itself that I'd need to worry about), the libraries and packages to update. And not to even stop at the building (signing) stage with the whole ruby shenanigans that needs to match and work well with xcode.

Now compare that to go.

Have been using chatgpt/ copilot for a while now and I feel I know better the limitations and what it can achieve most: - unit testing and docs, readme - when it can potentially hallucinate

It helps me do things that I'd usually procrastinate from doing, yet I know how I can get them done. It is really a booster to ones performance if you know exactly what you want

I don't really like samsung internet, it totally sucks. The half-assed adblocker is okayish, and the picture in picture is somewhat better than edge (stopped chrome long ago and edge is my main desktop browser).

Tried Firefox mobile, while I love the ublock origin, it kept constantly crashing that I eventually had to let go off. But yeah I'd definitely love to have a minimal android
