There's only one way out of this predicament. AI reviews. It's what we have to do.
Wait. Cursor had access to the production DB???
I would never eat burnt toast, but dark roast coffee, a pint of Guinness I wouldn't think twice. How bad are these comparatively?

So if I release a new cli. How do I get the LLM to know about it? Do i tell it every time to run the command? Do I build a skill. Should I release a skill with the cli? Do I just create docs on GitHub and hope the next crawl gets into the training set?
Just have to ask. Will I be spending way more money since my context window is getting so much bigger?

Doesn't matter what we want or how we feel. Product, C-suite, Customers just want software as fast and as cheap as possible. They don't care about the code and the craft. If that's the case then we have to use AI if we want to stay marketable.

I wonder if customers even appreciate the organic artisanal labels that some sites are putting up e.g. https://play.date/games/diora/

I just paid for it, downloaded the kindle app, and dragged the .awz8 file and it says it doesn't support the format!

For me it's the blinking cursor at the top... It's hard to focus on the text.
Just pointing out https://www.worldlibertyfinancial.com/ 60% owned by the trump family and also Steve Witkoff (special envoy to the middle east) just got funded $2B by the UAE. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Liberty_Financial No conflict of interest here???

> Of those who never drank, 40% had vascular brain lesions. Of the moderate drinkers, 45% had vascular brain lesions. Of the heavy drinkers, 44% had vascular brain lesions. Of the former heavy drinkers, 50% had vascular brain lesions.

I mean when you put it that way it doesn't seem so bad.

How did they manage to pack so many video ads into a single article?

Re:Lua Is So Underrated on Friday December 27, 2024 @01:33AM (#42520333)
I just started using lua and have types in vscode using lua annotations. https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/wiki/Annotation...
Re:Lua Is So Underrated on Friday December 27, 2024 @01:28AM (#42520326)
I've been writing lots of lua recently. The only two things that bother me are indexes starting at 1. It's made my 2d grid math more complicated. I also don't like how I have to write a goto statement if I want to continue/next inside a loop. Other than that I love the simplicity.

Therapeutic Benefits of Alcohol?

I'm one of those agoraphobics that can't leave my house. I'm literally trapped. However a single drink allows me to go about my daily life without having panic attacks. I've asked many times and doctors won't prescribe benzodiaspine which are supposedly too addictive. That's fine, however what I find crazy is the judgement if I communicate using alcohol therapeutically. Something that works so...

Re:The Joy of Reading Books You Don't Understand on Wednesday July 03, 2024 @09:44PM (#40871679)
I spent so much time on "Road to Reality". I was mostly confused, but then every once in a while something would click and it was mind blowing. Now I'm going back through linear algebra. I'm also looking at the hardest book I've tried "Moonshine beyond the monster" I'm trying...
