This is definitely something you can't force onto students on a whim. This is a something that can be taught and worked up to though.

Might be a region-specific promo code? Worked in the US for me.

I wonder if everyone who said it was a lot easier for them to learn when they were younger aren’t factoring in their increased responsibilities as an adult.

I know when I’m actually able to sit quietly to study something, I’m able to pick it up fairly quickly. (One thing going for me is I’m much better able to sit still as an adult than a kid, ha.) But yeah, having to juggle work responsibilities for 8-9 hours a day and then having to also manage a bunch of things I didn’t have to think as hard about when I was younger (bills, cleaning, pets), I definitely just don’t have as much time to dedicate towards focused studying like that.

That was already happening without LLMs. LLMs will just make it worse.

Interesting, I’m getting “Walk. It’s 50 meters” from Sonnet, with and without thinking enabled.

The moment I heard about this feature coming out, I bought Reolink cameras with microSDs for local storage and a giant SSD for NVR.

I was worried it would be a lot of work to replace Ring stuff. While Reolink’s setup experience isn’t quite as smooth, it was still trivial to get working. Highly recommend it for everyone who wants a decent alternative.

I think it’s also healthy overall for there to be multiple competitors in the market versus the tech monopolies we have now that have started abusing their customers.

I find that interesting because for the first 10 years of my career, I didn’t feel any confidence in contributing to open source at all because I didn’t feel I had the expertise to do so. I was even reluctant to file bugs because I always figured I was on the wrong and I didn’t want to cause churn for the maintainers.

I see US (software) tech going the way of Boeing and Intel in the next decade. I’m not sure what their long term goals are, or if they even have any beyond chasing large/quick short term profits, but you can only enshittify your product and abuse your customers for so long before they start abandoning you.

I always forget about lobste.rs because I never comment since I don’t have an account and don’t know anyway of getting an invite.

If this is the translation minigame, the hints there do really help. (I too was stuck for a bit.) You really do want to pay close attention to the ship types that come back as a response from the encoded messages you send out to the other ship and then fill them into the corresponding blanks accordingly. Don't overthink it (I know I did at first).

About 70% of the way done with the game. This is awesome. Really cool to see an investigation style game like Obra Dinn with such a minimal UI.

These should be enshrined into law... and there needs to be some sort of rule to prevent lawmakers from trying to ram through laws with the same spirit without some sort of cool down period. The fact that lawmakers have tried to push the same crap multiple times in the last 4 years despite a ton of opposition and resistance is ridiculous.

Yeah, I was shocked by this. Blackouts in California aren’t some sort of rare event. I’m primed to expect rolling brownouts/blackouts yearly in the summer.

This is also my experience with GitLab CI.

It’s great if you have relatively simple CI. If you have anything slightly more complicated (like multiple child pipelines for a monorepo) you’re going to have a rough time.

Every time I thought I understood GitLab CI, it would fail/behave in non-obvious ways.
