I kept running into it when building an app that did ballistics calculation.
I'd suggest starting with a 2mm Kolibri, if you can find one.

I disagree. The general intent is fine, and I'm certainly not abandoning everything we've learned as an industry - but LLMs are not people, people are not LLMs, and there's no reason to believe that the coding practices…
I’m about two hours SE of you. Towns around me include Lead Hill and Zinc. There’s also a road known locally as “Chemical Ranch Road” - it was one of the testing grounds for Agent Orange. Cancer rates are significantly…
Maybe?
AI note-takers have been a huge benefit to me. I have ADHD, and for the first time in my life I have a fairly complete idea of exactly what I’m not able to get done :)
It's becoming clear that it's not permanent. Discontinuing exogenous testosterone will lead to restarting your own body's production - it just takes a bit, and isn't fun to deal with.

I’m using a Keychron K2 HE these days. It has Hall effect switches, so there is absolutely no clicky noise at all.
I can assure you, it is trivial to make effective explosives from easily-obtained ingredients.
It’s what approximately half of US voters think.
Because of a problem that all those rules and policies don’t solve, while introducing new ones and creating an entire bureaucracy dependent upon keeping them in place regardless of their efficacy?
The closest thing to it was repo companies sharing data. This is very much a new thing.
The city's scope is smaller than Flock's - it's a city, not a multi-national corporation. Yes, I'm aware of what "expectation of privacy" means. I've been a photographer for ~25 years. > People seem to struggle to wrap…
My point wasn't that Flock allows this, but that it allows an entire class of surveillance that was previously not available.
If I'm a terrorist, I've not been a very good one to this point.
Well, in my precinct I'd estimate there are ~20 people at the polls to vote at any given time. Given the timestamp of a ballot, there are maybe 50 people it could have possibly been. That's more than enough information…
While I would oppose a city setting up CCTV to be used the way Flock is used - that would be orders of magnitude less bad than Flock. As it is, you can assume that at the very least, every time your vehicle has passed…
More like his widow than his ex - he was unable to ever contact her, which is what made it cute rather than creepy.
While I wouldn't argue that academia is "crazy, stupid, closed-minded, and ignorant", I would absolutely argue that they are ideologically homogenous. The whole community is rife with political signaling and affinity…
This is the direction I'm going. For personal projects that I don't plan to share widely, I'm making it a point to not look at the code at all. So far - and to my surprise - I've not only found that this has result in…
Your experiences must be much different from mine. Three years ago, AI was barely able to provide sort-of reliable command completion. Two years ago, it could extrapolate a single function from a docstring - but the…
