I remember when Django first came out, and I loved using it. For old time sakes, I went back to their website and they still have the tool bar on the right side, which I use to love. Happy birthday Django!

Aren't you making yourself vulnerable to unknowingly sending (potentially loads of) illicit traffic from your ip address into the world?

I'm not sure if I'd be up for that, to be honest...

it’s like someone saw Tor and said "but what if we removed all the safeguards?"

fwiw, I tried something similar about 5–10 years ago. I wasn’t using LLMs like the abstract here suggests, and honestly, I’m not sure how you'd act on a signal fast enough with them. When I gave it a shot, there was some slight predictive value, but in the end it felt like noise and gambling, so I moved on.

This would've been a great product 10 years ago. I've unapologetically not had to use a search engine in almost a year (or at least can count on 1 hand having to use it) since GPT models have come out.

Mexico has so many greater problems to discuss than a few people learning the ancient tongue. 2 days ago a beauty influencer was shot dead on a live stream, and female (and male) mayors have been gunned down regularly. I couldn't care less about what they're speaking over there, I hope they take care of their basic human rights and giving their citizens dignity first.

This is from Perimeter Institute which (on their own website) has incredible collection of high quality content on topics like theoretical physical, mathematics, for those who are interested.

I wonder when the Perimeter Institute will begin to get more name recognition. Some of the top PhD graduates from US R5 universities (and now assistant professors) have gone through there and have done phenomenal in their career.

With all respect, why would anyone bother to use these tools when you have a full-blown linux distro at your command with WSL/2?
thunder-blue-3 · 8 months ago
wow, TIL. Can't believe I've done nearly 40 circles around our sun and never knew about WSL/2.
thunder-blue-3 commented on Intel sells 51% stake in Altera to private equity firm on a $8.75B valuation   newsroom.intel.com/corpor... · Posted by u/voxadam

Without arguing the merits of the Altera investment or divestment, a common pattern for Intel seems to be a wild see-sawing between an aggressive and a defensive market posture - it’s a regular occurrence for Intel to announce a bold new venture to try to claim some new territory, and just as regular that they announce they’re halting that venture in the name of “consolidating” and “focusing on their core.” The consequence is that they never give new ventures time to actually succeed, so they just bleed money creating things they murder in the cradle, and nobody born before last Tuesday is investing in bothering to learn the new Intel thing because its expected lifespan is shorter than the average Google product.

Intel either needs to focus or they need to be bold (and I’d actually prefer they be bold - they’ve started down some cool paths over time), but what they really need is to make up their goddamn minds and stop panicking every other quarter that their “ten-year bets” from last quarter haven’t paid off yet.

Speaking from personal experience, many director-level and above positions at Intel, especially in growth related areas are filled through nepotism and professional connections. I've never seen a headline about Intel’s decline and thought, 'Wow, how could that happen?'

The only time I use search engines now is when I’m screen sharing and feel obligated not to show my five different ChatGPT tabs. I glance over the links and feign interest, "Oh, that’s great..."

It's been about 15 years since I've worked with RoR, but my favorite aspect of ruby was and will always be the library names. Shout out to factory_girl which I found out this morning was unforunately renamed to factory_bot
