This is your friendly PSA that pip-tools still exist.

All I see is a list of "content not viewable in your region".

Raph replied to another video on fun (which also critiques his book) in the Youtube comments, referring to said blog post:

Sounds like a job for RAG. We're about to prototype a system at work to point to all our confluence, Google docs, Jira tickets, gitlab source, and hand written KB articles, so adding a section for interesting links should turn the RAG system into a CBO.

I prefer the Perplexity summary over the nytimes' style of weaving facts with narrative:

The first thing I did when I saw this thread was ctrl-f for doclaynet :)

I've been at this problem since 2013, and a few years ago turned my findings into more of a consultancy than a product. See HTTPS://pdfcrun.ch

However, due to various events, I burned out recently and took a permie job, so would love to stick my head in the sand and play video games in my spare time, but secretly hoping you'd see this and to hear about your work.

Lol, yeah, god forbid they make new friends in the queue.

Feature of flip phone is plenty for what you just described, which is what my kids have.

Smartphones, no. I'm not subjecting them to any algos, thank you very much.

To chill out. You work with humans, so give them good UX and make it pleasant for them to work with you.

Fantastic game. The help mentions "genius" but the game page has "master". Also, it would be nice to play the previous dailies. I sent this to my 82-year-old in law who loves games like this, so I bet they'd like more games to play asap

This.

Using LLM coding assistance makes you dumb. You lose the ability to think.

You guys should see my Tunic notes, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

If you haven't played it, go in blind.

You won't see this, but try

Trying it now for the first time, and getting an HTTP Basic Auth pop-up. They caught on.

"YC Public Companies" widget on the front page showing a -46% return: joke or bug?

Still, plenty of old stuff was scraped/sniffed under the "store now, decrypt later" methodology.

Not quite a war story, but hey:

Our university's computers were all connected by Novell NetWare around the late nineties.

I browsed the network folders one day and crept into the depths of the mechanical engineering's masters department, very curious to see what they're working on.

Everything was password-protected, though. So, I tried the obvious trick of using the folder name as the password.

One of them works: ertjie ("pea" in Afrikaans - this was Rand Afrikaans Universiteit, btw, now called University of Johannesburg)

I gain access, and look at some awesome blueprints for what looked like a dune buggy, etc etc. Then I spot something which makes my heart rate increase ever so slightly: QUAKE2.EXE

I right click and create a networked link to the EXE and share it with the entire class (30-ish second-years taking "C++ for engineers").

Most of us run the game, and find an ongoing LAN game and join it. All of a sudden, 5 or so masters students are joined by 20+ more folks and having a blast.

And "ertjie" popping up on in-game chat asking something like "wtf did you guys come from lol"

I hope you figure it out :)

I think the stars just aligned for me, and it worked. Not an expert at all on these things.

It would be helpful if folks on here who say "works for me"/"doesn't work for me" would indicate which flavour/version of Linux they use.

Some distros don't have the latest pipewire stack, and you're left to fend for yourself, having to follow some incomplete or poorly written blog post to side-step what your distro does and put pipewire on top.

Me: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and happily using carla, ardour, lmms and a bunch of midi devices with pw-jack. (I'm aware pw-jack is not required anymore, but that was my old workflow, and it speaks to the backwards-compatibility that the stack offers.)

Perhaps Llama are good enough now to add flavour NPCs to the world, i.e. NPCs not on your critical path, but maybe on the town square where you can hear them talk about mundane life stuff.

Studios mostly pitch to publishers for funding (and maybe expertise/services like PR and console porting).

I gave it "A grumpy AI that roasts startup ideas" and it gave me some spiel about avocado toast.

See my reply to my comment - I kind of feel a bit more optimistic, as I finally watched the Veritasium video I've tucked away in my Watch Later the past few weeks.

> That's very promising since some of the most undesirable characteristics can be bred out within a few generations.

One can hope :)

But... Game theory says we'll be ok in the end.

Came here to say the same. We've evolved on a finite planet, so war is in our DNA.

That list bit made me spit my tea out, I laughed so hard.

Great game. A staple of our LAN parties, what, 25-ish years ago now?
