We often talk about LLMs as if they are doing something remarkably close to human intelligence. My take is that it is the conversation with the human that creates intelligence and meaning

Thats sad! For those looking to migrate out, I wrote this backup tool that pulls your note out of simplenote and uploads it to sqlite database. Hope this helps https://github.com/vivekhub/simplenote-backup

I would agree with this. There are definite challenges in grounded specifications today and the tendency for an LLM to go in tangents that is still a struggle that we all deal with every day.

This! I am not going to buy the next AI magic tool because of a cold mail. I don't even know I need it and I won't read a cold mail end to end if it starts like that. If I need something I go looking and if I don't even know I need it, cold mail wouldn't help

Would anyone familiar with cuba know how much of household solar adoption and infrastructure exists in Cuba?

  While this won't solve a country level problem I am sure, I am thinking was there a natural adoption to such alternative sources and go off-grid and address their immediate power needs as the article says rolling blackouts have been happening for a while.

I am definitely curious about a tool like this. I work with a lot of video streams and this collective knowledge of quirks might be useful as a QA tool

I am neither a compiler writer or an OS guru. Just an old c programmer. In this article it looks like the entire CPU instruction set was designed to emulate pdp11 to ensure c compatibility. So my naive question. What is stopping a Microprocessor manufacturer to have two instruction sets one that is compatible and one that allows us to fully utilise the modern CPU but with a different programming paradigm? Is that too expensive or hard to do? I genuinely don't know.

Whe. I first learned SQL on an oracle cli client I was told to type begin; then any other command. For a brief while until i learned about transactions, I assumed that it was part of the cli startup :)

So one job that has been 'taken over by ai' before it even started ?

Thank you

I can completely relate to this article. I am 53 and caring for my 78 year old mum with dementia. While financial issues are not a challenge as we don't live in America. The emotional burden is massive and the guilt of not having done enough or to be scared of leaving her alone when we have to step out even for a few hours is palpable. I have full time help at home but guilt is irrational. We hadn't taken a vacation in years until we requested my wife's parents to stay in our home when we went out for 3 days after 4+ years. Amazing support from my wife is what is still giving me the strength to handle this situation.

Hopefully a gpt based summarizer of the t&c and point out to any nuanced items in there

I don't quite understand the need for access and session token as a mechanism of expiring sessions. Can we create a signed JWT with the expiration in the body itself? Since it is signed the expiry cannot be tampered with.

The last line "Sent from my iPad" was quite fitting as a device that he conceptualized :-)

brilliant!

The Reserve Bank of India new rules that have been open for implementation for over an year came into effect. Bottom-line no auto debits more than 5000 rupees a month without consent. This is a great consumer protection initiative but hurts large vendors as they have to seek consent every month.

Good question. I don't know. Just seems to be that way

India has a large coast where evaporative cooling doesn't work. Only in central India it is an option.

Have you checked the IP address of the traffic. If it is a VPN some crypto kiddie playing with tools. If it is binance property i would be surprised.

Intellectual satisfaction and regular doses of dopamine high :-). 30 years and hoping for 30 more.

Edit: Added age :-)

Wow there is a plane roughly every 2-3 minutes even at 1 am. You should be living pretty close to the airport for that kind of traffic? I really don't know how about the traffic density is in various places. Since they are mostly over 30k i assume noise is not an issue ? Would it be possible to mount a omnidirectional mic along with the camera to see if you capture any sounds ?

This is a mind shift for the new hires. I typically ping them after a few days asking if they need any help understanding the problem or just a friendly chat on why we are doing that particular project and how it will make relevance to the business. The good ones quickly understand if the path they are choosing makes sense and most of the times opens them up to ask questions.
