Re:The last RadioShack in Maryland is closing on Tuesday April 15, 2025 @02:59PM (#43697025)
I remember fondly the talks I had with strangers about their hobbies and learning about technology while I was employed there. I remember seeing this specific stores sales numbers and thinking to myself that their daily sales were close to our monthly. Our store closed shortly after.
So, I think, the courts ruled just 2 days ago that people can get sent abroad so long as they get to 'petition' it in... Texas. Right? So like, if their was an investigation, it closed one day prior to the interview; which is why she didnt say what you think she did. Trump said Would do it, and supposedly now he Can do it. All this is 'fact'in her eyes prior to the interview. An important distinction, no?
Mhmm! Thanks for adding context.
So.. the very post you share prooves it's not happening. Incredulously, I gotta wounder: Did/ do you really believe your link supports your claim that it's been happening?
A judge gave the green light on deportationn just yesterday.

I've met (maybe) 3 other developers, in my life, who have used all the listed technologies. Most will either use ssh or use react; seldom ever work w both.
My friend whos loves word games said she liked it. Asked for the link so I sent it along. Critique was that proper nouns should be removed as it caused a great deal of uncertainy about weather the remaining words would be known.
For real. The US trades our services for other countries goods. What happens to our trade when our services become ubiquitous through AI.
At the presidential level I would say the law should follow the (will of the) people and not the other way around. After all, those irrational voters are the ones who created the law in the first place, in so many ways. As an aside, the more I think about someone being able to truly be impartial, the more I giggle. Myself included, of course.
If a jury can rule against the law, why shouldnt the voters.

Bundless.dev - A non-intrusive 35kb client side react compiler

Easyjobapps.com - autofill job forms with tailored resumes and replies.

To get back to the point.

Just because UK law allows compelled disclosure doesn’t make it right—it makes it a bad law. It creates a self-incrimination loophole, shifting the burden of proof onto individuals instead of the state. Leading to erosion of due process and a presumption of guilt, forcing people to either comply or face punishment, even when no crime has been proven. Civil rights advocates have lambasted this law.

So I ask: Do you believe it to be balanced?

Using flawed laws to justify more erosion of privacy only deepens the problem.

Re:U.K. orders Apple to let it spy on users' encrypted accounts on Saturday February 08, 2025 @10:39AM (#42983643)
Indefinitely jailing people to get a confession sounds like a midevil torture tactic. Is that a good balance of the Average Joe's right to privacy and privacy restrictions for fighting crime you speak of?

I did the same exact thing and then wanted to post it into the groupchat then see this.

1000 iterations too!

Why are we like this XD

What model are you using for this? I can't help buy imagine this gets expensive
Great! I wish there was a "bang to buck" value. Some way to know the cheapest model I could use for creating structured data from unstructured text, reliably. Using gpt4o-mini which is cheap but wouldn't know if anything cheaper could do the job too.
Fisker continues to widen my eyes. Unfortunately.

Re:Ask HN: How's LangGraph for Prod? on Wednesday October 30, 2024 @10:20AM (#41995182)
The langchain docs are God awful, impossible to navigate with every page half baked. It was made even worse by their trying to push lg to the point you can barely find their lc docs. And, It's like they just shove jsdoc output into docusaurus pages for the api and call it a day. The api works well but thr api makes excessive calls imo and the output is still harder to grok then setting some of this stuff up manually.
This needs to be brought up. Was looking for the demo and ended up on the contact form
Text makes communication hard. Have a good day bud.
Funny enough, the definition has nothing to do with ancestry. "Native: a person born in a specified place or associated with a place by birth, whether subsequently resident there or not."
It was an amazing statement to read. I'm glad someone else caught that
Oh lol. I was being serious. Been thinking about the nuances of it recently and I felt it kinda resides within that framework. Wasn't meant to be snide but also this threads not the place for it.
Chiming in like this makes me wounder what your view on abortion is. I'm not asking, though.
For sure dude! Top comment thread is all about using ollama and other ways to get that done.

Yup!
The efficiency gains are undeniable, and AI can scale in ways that were unimaginable before. Less grunt work, more room for innovation—hopefully, we can reinvest that time and energy wisely.
