Nope, no disagreement. I just see your take as very optimistic. There is no court at the border. If the agent decides you're going to jail, you're going to jail. The decision may be reversed/corrected after, but it's…
This is not... advice. But if anyone's actually going to do this, the method that's worked for me... A couple weeks before your trip, factory reset whatever burner phone you're planning on using and swap your SIM card…
They have to let you in. Doesn't mean they have to let you roam the country freely. They can just send you to some form of detention.
My personal experience would strongly disagree with "usually" here. While I can't really be sure I've never seen one, none come to mind on my travels across US/Canada/Mexico/East Asia (though I've really only been…
I've often thought that having a standardized checklist on a big board in the security line would be a big help. Laptops: In/Out Liquids: In/Out Shoes: On/Off Etc Because yeah, it's really annoying getting treated like…
Because your entire premise here sort of betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept? So we stop vaccinating people here, and require everyone that enters be vaccinated. Problem solved! Except not really,…
As a kid I have memories of driving a bit out the edge of town to a big steel plant for almost exactly this reason, it's not totally insane. There's plenty of free parking, free admission, giant pool with some small…
In the first case, I've connected to someone else's server and actively done the damage of deleting their data. In the second case, I've provided instructions on how to destroy the data, said "don't do this", and then…
I think unit tests are documentation in the same way that a Dockerfile is... it's not. The tests don't paint the bigger picture, explain why, etc. That said, if you pitched me something like a Jupyter notebook style doc…
Yeah, that's a reason to do it too! And one I'd hope would land with most people, but "respect and decency" aren't universal unfortunately.
Yeah, after the dozenth time with the same person where the "help" is "playing 20 questions to finally get the stack trace out of them which they should have sent in the first place and then then error explains exactly…
I've had this same policy since before AI. I kind of formalized it for myself (and this team) after enough instances of "I'm trying to do X. It's not working. Help." type messages. You need to put as much effort into…

Admittedly I'm not buying Enterprise Grade(TM) stuff, but... For simplicity I just use 10G LR modules everywhere. A pair of fiber transceivers is $25. Pretty sure last batch of 3M pre-terminated fibre cables I was…
As a daily GitLab user, I'd say that would be the main criticism I could levy at it as well. It does feel like there are a number of "and the kitchen sink" type features that are just there to check a box in a RFP or…
> Yeah it's just a semantic pet peeve. Let me ask you this: What is a "Language Model", if this is a "Large Language Model"? Inversely, if a 1.5B model is "Large" then what is the recent 1T param models? "Superlarge"?…
Hey now! I've got a half terabyte of RAM at my disposal! I mean, it's DDR4 but... it's RAM! And it's paired with 48 processor cores! I mean, they don't even support AVX512 but they can do math! I could totally train a…
