Improved EHRs would improve medicine by making doctors more productive. Increases the amount of time they can spend billing instead of on administrative overhead. More billing is more money. I don…

I don't have to jailbreak the models over APIs lol.

I can do as much smut as I want through the API for all SOTA models.

The research hospital in my neighborhood has a whole biomedical engineering dept and regularly tries out new medical technology on me. They consistently try non-standard approaches if they feel like i…

Hospitals are huge liability sinks. Doctors are constantly sued for killing, injuring, or traumatizing patients, because it's impossible to consistently save everyone.

I got stuck for two weeks installing the kernel because I forgot to mount /boot. Perhaps I disabled it by accident when goofing around in alsamixer? Or my card did or didn't have hardware mi…

wouldn't the curators need SCBA gear and airlocks? Turning museums into a Resident Evil house is a cool idea.

I installed Gentoo in 2014 and getting PulseAudio working was much easier than ALSA. It was also much better. I get ALSA followed the Unix philosophy of doing one thing but I want my audio mixer to pl…

"Filling in timesheets" sucks until you want to qualify for R&D credits.

I've heard real estate people call this legalized extortion, since you have to select a graffiti artist with enough reputation that others don't mess with the piece.

Virtually all of the top performers at my school left for the USA immediately after graduation. I think somewhere between 70-90% of Waterloo graduates in CS leave every year. Turns out doubling or tri…

I am a GPU programmer (on the compute side), and the biggest challenge is lack of tooling. For host-side code the agent can throw in a bunch of logging statements and usually printf its way to success…

wtf

there is no guarantee `char` is 8 bits, nor that it represents text, or even a particular encoding. If your codebase has those guarantees, go ahead and use it.

Because agentic AI can parse unstructured data and make purchasing decisions regardless of whether your site allows it, which avoids the chicken-and-egg problem. It's similar to DoorDash. If your…

The revealed preference of players is for terrible AI so games are easier. That's why AI has been going downhill. Payday 2 is my favourite example since they've had a bug since Day 1 that lo…

I have 1 and 8 on my cheap RAV4 from 7 years ago. Heated seats too.

I would be shocked if intelligence agencies, being government bodies, have anything better than GitHub Copilot.

Greenhouse allows you to mark a single "dream job" per month to stand out. It's unclear if anyone cares.

If you read the article: > Takers pay a structural premium for affirmative "YES" outcomes while Makers capture an "Optimism Tax" simply by selling into this biased flow. It'…

If I might interject for a moment, you should've recommended the (A)GPLv3. The anti-tivoization clause in Version 3 would allow users to modify and replace the rootkit with their own, more or les…

The remaining developers also got a big pay bump.

I use Astro so I could make my blog a static site and deploy it to Cloudflare pages. I was impressed since I got interactive compilation and state tracking of how many exercises the user completed. h…

An B2B SaaS platform with an amazing plugin ecosystem that works on my Kubernetes cluster, for any Linux distribution, written in Zig? Where do I sign up?

Any undergrad doing a survey at my university has to get IRB approval.

If one of America's main exports is culture, why would you ban factor inputs? They're also not fungible and extremely mobile. People get attached to specific OF stars and the medium inherent…
