"very" is underselling it

you pick a frequency you want, represent that as a fraction, and modulo on user id, and your 80% of the way there

I would argue that is a net positive, it is valuable to know if a language model was involved enough to be committing itself.

This is real. I do not have access to the path of reasoning, this ran through the GitHub copilot app which does not grant you access to the chain of thought.

I don't know how Raycast could run on the GitHub servers, but a third option could be dataset poisoning. Hostile raycast advertising campaign

Sometimes writing can both contain information and be beautiful? This article is charming and thoughtful. Its style may not be for everyone, but for me it really hit, I am thoroughly enjoying reading it. Its style gives me no problem calling it prose.

A person writing an essay on their own site doesn't need to have the information density of bus timetable.

The quality difference between Andor and The Mandalorian is so stark that I don't even think they are comparable. The Convert is a fine episode I guess, but next to Andor it's amateur.

Andor is prestige TV. The Mandolorian feels like a childrens show by comparison.

If you think The Convert was good, please, please watch Andor.

This is hilariously weak. "over a dozen have become active cases" is so low it made me laugh given how much insider trading happens on these platforms. This post is actually pathetic

If English is your first language, this is the funniest comment I've seen today by a margin.

You can still send files over bluetooth on devices that aren't iPhones. Even Macs support this

I am currently being radicalised against OOP because of one specific senior in my team that uses it relentlessly, no matter the problem domain. I recognise there are problems where OOP is a good abstraction, but there are so many places where it isn't.

I suspect many OOP haters have experienced what I'm currently experiencing, stateful objects for handing calculations that should be stateless, a confusing bag of methods that are sometimes hidden behind getters so you can't even easily tell where the computation is happening, etc

Mastodon with build in RSS feeds, repost an article from an RSS feed and your repost is really just new mastodon post

This could be done using RSS and feed:// uri scheme if it was more popular.

Hi Matt, I purchased the Android app in 2016. I never signed up for the paid syncing service, but never had ads within the app until this week. Is it the new policy that users who purchased the app but never paid for syncing will now have ads, or is this a bug?

Appreciate you being public in places like this. I sent a similar message to Pocketcasts support but received an AI that seems to disagree with your comment here.
