There is a guaranteed cap on how far LLM based AI models can go. Models improve by being trained on better data. LLMs being used to generate millions of lines of sloppy code will substantially dilute the pool of good training data. Developers moving over to AI based development will cease to grow and learn - producing less novel code.

The massive increase in slop code and loss of innovation in code will establish an unavoidable limit on LLMs.

A cross between a text MUD and an early 2k browser based RPG. Hoping to incorporate many advanced MMO and LitRPG based features plus complex economic, npc, guild, quest, and crafting mechanics. It’s more of a passion project/hobby with no expectation of adoption. It has been very fun to build.

From what I have been told (specific to the US army):

- Enlisted swear oaths to the constitution and President

- Officers swear an oath to the constitution

I’ve only been told this, I don’t claim to know.

Shameless plug for my JSON/5 parser written in zig: https://github.com/berdon/zig-json

There is a std json library as well but the aesthetics weren’t great imo.

The specs are quite pleasant to implement.

When I accidentally use Google I’m instantly surprised and delirious. The difference in both search quality and advertisements is astounding.

Been using Kagi since its beta and I’ve never used Google intentionally since.

Mirroring other peoples thoughts.

It took me close to 20 years to finally shed the guilt of unfinished software projects.

Side projects can just be about having "fun". Just as going for a walk, or reading a book, listening to music, etc can just be done for fun. I don't have to finish any of these things. I don't have to finish side projects. Fun things don't have to be useful, purposeful, practical, or anything but they should be fun.

I believe Kagi uses most major search indexes as well as its own.

Additionally, I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s more interested in LLMs than focusing on search. I think it’s fair to say they’re interested in ensuring they’re offering a better, non ad-based search replacement.

Disclaimer: Not affiliated with Kagi in any way, just a long time happy user.

Matt Colville and MCDM are working on Draw Steel and didn’t Critical Role release a few?

In the US you could just use “zipcode-us”. It’s not ideal though. Otherwise just “city-stateabbr-us” - e.g. “SiouxFalls-SD-US”

Yep, dropbox was a great company until it wasn't.

I made their first "unofficial" android client and they "allowed" it for a year or so up until they wanted to sue the pants off me. (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27036593)

Prime is nothing compared to experian. Logging in forces you through a sign up flow for their paid subscription service. Doing nearly anything in the site does.

Our two dogs watch our 4k TV often. And bark at various things, actors, subjects they don't like.
