On the other hand, this library probably wouldn’t exist without vibe coding, and you might never have known that the lid angle is readable.

Lot of content here that will go down with the ship. Hope the Internet Archive will mirror it.

Talent quality doesn’t really matter outside of the bottom 20% and the top 5%

Coding is one of the most profitable applications of LLMs. I'd guess that coding is single digit percentages of total ChatGPT use but perhaps even the majority of usage in the $200/month plan.

Air pushes on the wing. The control surfaces determine in which direction.

Of the 110 billion people to have ever been born, maybe 2 billion have been born into more comfortable circumstances than the median child born in the United States today.

How do I know that this is an AWS product? This should be on an Amazon domain or the blog should be on an Amazon domain that links to the site.

By limiting the hours today, it helps make sure that the people who do see it are the ones most interested in seeing it. Those are the ones who will look up the schedule, schedule their trip around it, etc... while if it's just permanently up, many of the viewers will be random passersby (and the number of viewers per hour of illumination will probably be lower)

What did you use to build the globes?

There isn't any CPU that is competitive with the Apple M series. Maybe regulators will force Apple to sell the M series chips to competitors, if not, it is what it is.

Agree - ger living is not necessarily a failure of public policy, it could just be a cultural decision. Even Genghis Khan lived in a ger. Of course, for some people, it's likely to be a matter of necessity, for others, a matter of choice, but it's not prima facie bad.

> When ineffective policy results in a large chunk of the populace generationally living in yurts on the outskirts of urban areas, it’s clear that there is failure.

That's not at all clear.

Yes, for the company’s definition of productivity.

> One reason is that someone’s or a company’s income doesn’t always align perfectly with when they want to buy things.

Financing should be used for things that provide value over the time horizon it takes to earn the money to fully pay for them. If you finance things for less than that time horizon, you just end up getting more and more underwater. If you finance something that delivers value for ~6 hours then you probably shouldn't be buying that thing or your fiscal solvency is really headed for the cliff.

If anyone wants this product but lacks these skills, I’ve been happy with the Hörbert. Expensive but very high quality.

Sadly, a friend of mine died from this type of problem. He traveled from Ghana to Jordan and fell ill in Jordan, the Jordanian doctors didn't diagnose it as malaria in time to save him because Jordan doesn't have malaria. I'm sure it would have been obvious to a Ghanaian doctor.

That’s the object level story that is obvious. The declining capabilities of the US government are not as obvious

The higher level story here is that the US government is simply unable to build software. You’ll notice that over the last 10 years there have been classified records scandals from politicians of both parties: it’s because the US government doesn’t have any communications tools even 1% as usable as anything from the iOS App Store.

How was the first C compiler written in C?

It makes logical sense. The closer a shop is to the train station, the more it pays in rent, requiring it to skimp on ingredient quality.

Why do you have to evaluate the person without AI? Unless they won't be able to use AI on the job (for security reasons or whatever) it seems like it makes more sense to have them pull up their favorite AI and use it to solve a problem. Give them some buggy code and ask them to fix it with any tools they want.

And to think, you could have done this in software if you had the right to push your own firmware to your Apple Watch.

Makes sense. Google does not want to get into the business of deciding what's called what. They just want to take a government database and implement it so that people can complain to the government instead of to them.

I'm not talking about 1) professional journalism or 2) sports. I'm talking about casual family day-to-day stuff.

My advice? Never take a photo again. Only video. Video is so much more powerful for re-experiencing memories.

For those who may not know, Patterson is the father of RISC CPU architecture and with John Hennessey (former Stanford president) the author of the standard intro computer architecture text.

"The bodies belonged to a woman, aged between 35 and 50, who was clutching jewellery and coins"

Funny to see that some things never change. You're about to get vaporized by a pyroclastic avalanche and your first thought is to grab your bling.

I think that's relevant if you have a highly specialized skillset like embedded Linux. People don't make embedded Linux job postings to "test the waters" or "see if the perfect candidate applies." If the listing is up, they're probably hiring an embedded Linux developer, and while there will be a lot of resume frauds applying, they actually need to make the hire.

If you're applying for a B2B SaaS product manager job there are 50,000 jobs and 200,000 applicants and it's a completely different situation.

Carlsen is never again going to go 125 classical games without a defeat.
