I understand the LLM production companies have a funding mechanism but do they really have a business model?

We have near perfect processes for saltwater filtering.

You apparently understand less than me. The little I do understand is that CORS is protection for a site's user, not the site.

Every ad GET is doing a lot of things that violate that edict.

I don't understand it. And I'm a web developer. I don't understand the documentation, I don't understand the problem it's trying to solve and I don't understand how it's going about a solution of any problem. The closest I've come to an understanding is that it's meaningless make-work for a ledger of http calls that are not giving any security.

I've had my hair on fire because my app code shit the bed. I've never ever (throughout 15 years of using it in everything I do) had to even think about Postgres, and yes, I always set it up self-hosted. The only concern I've had is when I had to do migrations where I had to upgrade PG to fit with upgrades in the ORM database layer. Made for some interesting stepping-stone upgrades once in a while but mostly just careful sysadmining.

Hard scifi that goes from 1997 to beyond the heat death of the universe.

Given that you want to solve problems with a computer, what is the alternative to code?

Same as it ever was.

Their trackrecord is such that if I got a similar call my first question when possible would be how I was being reimbursed. They are welcome to fork anything of mine if they observe the license attached. I will take a look at any PR. I will NOT spend time explaining anything to their engineers unless reimbursed at my regular rates.

Backblaze can lose 3/20 hard drives and still recover the data from parity drives. They don't have to rely on recovering it from non-operative drives unless they become unbelievably unlucky.

I had an insight when learning about the Halting Problem. There is a class of programs for which the Halting Problem is solvable since you can use circuit analysis to see if well-formed loops halt. We should strive to write programs in that class since then we know that the execution, long as it may be, will yield a result.

I found after starting to apply mise en place that when I wasn't doing it I was still quicker than before. I fetched more things from each cupboard or fridge when I opened them, even if I wasn't measuring out the item into a container beforehand.

I wonder if you could get the intended result for any language with a simple ruleset. You don't need a language to reduce/eliminate miscommunications, you need intent and understanding.

The knowledge cutoff date is brutal for some applications.

You have the right comparison. Developers need to remember that nobody had a job punching holes in cards after the revolution of personal computing. Going to be the same here. The jobs will revolve around operating the new "loom" which we have been given.

Difference is that compressive strength generally decreases over time. Here we have a product where it increases over time. Changes the equation on how you build and maintain it.

When I would have had to add another 2 batches of ~150,000 tokens.....

I'm working on something where I need to basically add on the order of 150,000 tokens into the knowledge base of an LLM. Finding out slowly I need to delve into training a whole ass LLM to do it. Sigh.

Read about the paradox of tolerating intolerance.

I can't convince them. Their belief precludes any sort of reason to pierce the veil.

Neither of those are utopian atheistic societies. They were authoritarian hellholes that weren't even socialist in nature.

The "behaving poorly in ways I disagree with" is them demanding legislation and judicial outcomes that hamper the way others want to live their lives. I am done with showing this group any sort of decorum.

I know. If only the data were collected at all so we could have a discussion about kidnapping in the USA....

You wrongfully assume I want to have any sort of conversation with the converts. The only conversation I want to have with them is to tell them to stay bloody clear of politics. If you want to have rules that govern your life, I'm perfectly fine with that up to where they want legislation that affects the freedom of other people. It seems too much of late that Evangelicals took The Handmaid's Tale as an instruction manual instead of a dystopic vision.

I refuse to give any "believer" the benefit of the doubt. I assume they are socially Christian with no real practice or devotion from the getgo. To convince me of anything else they have to have works. There's a reason for the caricature comics have been lambasting for decades. It's only funny cause it's true.

It's hard to find good data from the US due to how statistics are collected. upwards of a million children go missing each year.

Born raised and confirmed in Lutheran Christianity. Go project on someone else.

If you don't call out the hypocrites, how would they ever know they are wrong? Did I cast them in a negative light? Yes. Do they ever read that book of theirs? No.

Once in a while you see a shining example of compassion and generosity born from church activities like this one: https://twitter.com/MorePerfectUS/status/1645867657697153046

That's the true Christian faith at work. Sadly it's the exception.

I'm saying it's mostly performative. I can't denigrate something that actually doesn't exist.
