I agree with the analysis of lead service lines, but serving static files is lot cheaper than replacing underground pipes—so much cheaper that I think it’s qualitatively different.

A balanced answer that’s often true these days is: you’ve found that LLMs are impressively useful in some cases but fall dramatically short in others.

> you basically need the same amount of data to represent the address of your data as the data itself

Almost like the other Borges work where “the Cartographers Guilds struck a Map of the Empire whose size was that of the Empire”.

Some of Disney’s most valuable properties—ESPN, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars—were acquired. FiveThirtyEight may be smaller, but it should be in Disney’s self-interest to set things right and earn a reputation for being a good home for acquisitions.

It’d be amazing if speech-to-text could take into account context as well: Greek if I’m speaking Greek, Korean if I’m speaking Korean, or for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i) if I’m dictating code.

This is pretty impressive. My impression was that eGPUs simply do not work with Apple Silicon.

(EDIT: Apple agrees with my impression. “To use an eGPU, a Mac with an Intel processor is required.” And, on top of that, the officially supported eGPUs were all AMD not NVIDIA. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102363)

Not that I’m aware of? Most PhD grads not staying academia seems to be a long-running phenomenon. The number of permanent academic positions simply does not match up against the number of PhD grads.

> The only thing missing is ownership that answers to the people — not to shareholders.

To be clear, the proposed Spirit Air 2.0 would also be answerable to shareholders. A structural difference is that each shareholder would have one vote regardless of capital contribution. But the real substantive difference is the spirit of what they’re fighting for: worker ownership, affordable fares, transparent operations, no golden parachutes, etc.

GDP provides a rough measure for how fast a country could drain its debt—similar to looking at debt-to-income ratio when issuing mortgages to individuals.

It appears that git format-patch + git send-email is a mature and widely used approach. Wouldn’t it make more sense for the open source community to work on streamlining that process instead of trying to build momentum with new approaches?

I really like the idea of distributed forges, but am not familiar with viable solutions for federation. Are there good options available right now? Or at least a not-terrible option?

(Edit: Turns out there’s a very obvious and widely used option. git format-patch + git send-email is used to develop major open source software such as Linux, GCC, and Git itself.)
