My next startup will be a Web site that explains Chris Nolan films.
Just saw Interstellar in IMAX. Holy shit.
Soulver is such a great app. If you want to think through math problems your brain can't quite wrap around, or handle quick conversions, you can't beat it. It's even on Setapp.
I used to be married to an active, vibrant, happy young woman who decided one day to hang a bird feeder in the back yard, and now Iโm married to a glassy-eyed, unwashed maniac that stands at the kitchen window all day screaming at squirrels.
This Dropbox page is really scammy. I have to upgrade in order to see my files, and I have lots of upgrade options but none of them show the cost. Come on.
Is there a tool thatโs basically jq, but with a non-perplexing query/transformation language?
A note from some recent conversations on how to adopt a style guide:
A style guide doesn't produce consistency. It is the artifact of a culture that values consistency.
Any mutuals in North America have an M1 Mac Mini they might want to sell to me?
My first interaction with Azure tech support and I am decidedly unimpressed.

Can we go back to unified world again, the one with open protocols and interoperability? I want one app per problem, not ten fractured partial apps for each problem
Dismay. Bleak, grim, ashen dismay.
Voting is not about perfection, itโs about direction.
Harris is pointing forward, Trump is pointing backward (to the 1930s, specifically).
Vote for the direction you wanna move in.
Anyone else into comics?
If so, check out this fantastic YouTube channel, matttt. He makes video essays about comics creators. Their biographies, backgrounds, influences, challenges, etc. Every single video is informative and entertaining.
There is a solution. We're 61 electoral votes away from neutralizing the Electoral College. Most of the blue states have passed this but we need the battleground states to get past 270.

Because it apparently needs to be said:
Being Jewish does not mean belonging to a particular region.
Israel being a Jewish nation does not mean that it is a theocracy.
Jews are a people with a shared history, culture, and variety of languages. People of all races. People of a variety of religions, even.
As Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan put it: Judaism is a civilization.
To know someone is Jewish is not to know what they look like or what they believe, but it is to know that they likely have to worry about antisemitism, violence, and ostracization no matter what relationship, if any, they have with Israel.
#PPOD: This stunning photograph captures the most violent moment during an eruption of the Calbuco volcano in Chile. Volcanic lightning occurs in the plumes of eruptions when volcanic ash particles collide, generating static electricity. Additionally, water vapor in the plume condenses and freezes as it rises, adding ice to the mix. And voila! The eventual electrical discharge causes lightning.

Turns out Iโm **extremely** rusty with SQL โ especially with DDL. ๐
Steve Jobs loved the metaphor โA bicycle for the mind.โ So do I. Itโs redolent with implications, all of them positive. It speaks to leveraging the power we already have.
And then thereโs AI. At no time has AI ever promised to leverage my creativity or intellect. Above and beyond my objective misgivingsโฆIt doesnโt capture my imagination. It doesnโt motivate me. It simply feels likeโฆ โDig where the money is right now.โ
What paucity of human ambition.

YAML really is the gift that keeps on giving.
@simon Iโve been pretty skeptical of LLMs and have used them very little for my own work as a programmer. But lately your output, and the steady decline of Web search engines, has me thinking itโs time to give them a real try to help me with my programming.
I think I understand the basics like models, prompts, etc. But Iโm unsure how to get started with the mechanics of it all. So Iโm curious: do you use any LLM integrations in your code editors? Or do you mostly copy and paste to and from your llm CLI? Or a Web chat UI?
Iโm thinking my starting use case is: I have a file open in my editor in a language with which Iโm either a beginner or rusty, like C# or even SQL. And I want to ask a question about how to do something specific in the context of the code I have.
For example if Iโm working on a sophisticated DB migration in SQL, and I canโt remember the syntax for creating a variable and storing an ID in it. How would *you* ask that question today? I mean mechanically, what steps would you take?
Thank you in advance!
Iโm looking forward to the YIMBYs for Harris call in a couple of hours!
