Agree completely! The people saying “LLMs don’t produce good code” are using prompts like “build a feature that does X, Y and Z”
Good prompting with current-quality LLMs needs to look like “create a function that take in params A and B and produces an output of C”
It’s still faster than hand writing the code since the agent will refactor as it goes and break things down into manageable, small functions, but you have to tell it to do that.
Almost 7 thousand people bought one?! That’s crazy, it was a meme product!
This is an interesting long-view take, but is the government also providing loans and trying to spurr manufacturing, machine shops, etc. too? Without that, it’s just a dream to hope Canadian companies won’t just wait 4 years, really.
If you want to be certain you don’t get the tingle, you should seek out a “Buzz Button”
It’s like a Sichuan peppercorn, but maybe 5x the strength (at least in my recollection).
The only place I’ve had one was at a cocktail bar in Toronto, they paired it with a very sweet cocktail and the combination was mind blowing.
Legislate, sue, protest, and otherwise make it more annoying for Republicans to do anything.
I get that they’re not the majority, so not much legislation will pass, but they still have tactics to delay any actions.
Why are the Republicans the only ones who can find and exploit loopholes in the constitution?
Somebody didn’t read the article! It’s only Music videos that will have ads. It seems the cost savings here are all from cutting out record label contracts
I think he does a good job at explaining both sides and calling for a root-cause solution, but he’s definitely leaving out an important piece: the data collected by all the US social media companies can’t just be taken by the US government. They need reasonable causes and go through channels where their access should be checked before they can get their hands on the data. The Chinese government, on the other hand, can just compel TikTok to hand over the data they want.
I don’t like the data overreach by all big us tech companies, but at least their data has some safety rails around its usage.
I understand the “but I like TikTok” crowd, but China bans US companies from operating in China all the time. Why is it all of a sudden a problem when we do it to them?
Seconded, it’s amazing for occasional reddit use when you don’t want your eyeballs seared by the normal interface!
Not 100% sure but I figured it was because so many people live in NJ and commute to NYC every morning, so this new congestion charge might get people to leave NJ for somewhere with better train/transit options
Some people, especially in staff+ engineer levels, just want to work on their little piece of an ultra complex data center problem and are happy doing it. From my experience, they don’t seem to care what the broader company is up to, they’re just immersed in their n-of-1 problem space and happy that they get to solve it.
Not saying it’s the right thing to do, but not everyone actively cares about their company. It’s a paycheck and fulfilling technical problem solving to them.
You might be able to just pull out the SIM card from your glove box. It needs a cellular connection to share data, but without a SIM card it can’t get data.
Not sure if it has any ill effects (ie: disabling emergency response stuff) but might be worth it depending on how privacy conscious you are.
I used Ollama locally and it worked decently well. Code suggestions were fast and relatively accurate (as far as an LLM goes). The real issue was the battery hit. Oh man, it HALVED my battery life, which is already short enough when running a server locally
You go through it on arrival in Canada. It’s the only way off the train.
I took Amtrak between Seattle and Vancouver recently. Great trip, stellar views, and overall just a super easy way to cross the border. No crazy invasive checks or waiting in lines, it was just like getting off a plane, but in the middle of downtown.
I can only imagine even if you had a plan in place, many people might not be comfortable calling their coworkers and telling them they have to take a fat shit soon
Sure, there’s no place for trucks to unload, but take that space from cars, not bikes. Cars can circle the block or wait for 10 mins while they unload, but bikes passing by need to use the space for 5 seconds.
They’re complicit. You don’t fire a boss because some people don’t like them, you fire a boss when you don’t like them.
What a state of affairs we’re in…
