For those who don't want to read it, they were: aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame-K, erythritol, sorbitol and xylitol.

No affiliation with mistral, but you don't have to purchase tokens for inference. It runs GPUless and is open source, so you're just paying the normal compute cost.

I am looking forward to some hotshot implementing a jev-style model and then looking like a cost cutting, performance boosting wizard by replacing it with a logistic regression.

In a lot of American discourse, it honestly seems like the baggage surrounding the term is more of an issue than the policies being debated that are labelled "Socialist".

Yeah, more valuable than the comments I came to read (even if those are interesting too!)

I downloaded Hermes CLI previously. I didn't like that the default personality was "anime girl". While I like the idea of agent memory I worry it becomes less portable, and it's fundamentally more of my context window consumed.

This is fun, though I will note that when traveling, my new location didn't factor in, and all my locations were based on my initial locale.

Might be me being a firefox user.

Edit, tried in Chrome - still didn't work.

Just like how many companies have methods available to them to remove bad glassdoor reviews (or make fake 5-star reviews), this system is even more rife for abuse.

This article seems to exist in a weird middle ground of both going too far, and not going far enough.

Private bathing is a modern luxury few people would be willing to give up, but at the same time, should they realistically advocate for it, they need to go beyond just considering communal bathing as a single concept. They need to instead consider the cultural environment which surrounds it, and consider communal living as a practice.

While there are many arguments to be made against this (some by me, even), it's a lot easier to conceptualize people bathing together when they actually know each-other on a more intimate level, instead of just strangers getting naked and pouring water on one another.

I think the counter-point to that would be that if you're writing infrastructure as code, and your architects are using a specific language anyways (Python in this case), it makes more sense for data governance and editing reasons to just keep things in the existent ecosystem and not worry about having to procure another license.

Vs. Cooking or Writing which aren't coding practices unto themselves.

My counterpoint would be: If you can write data visualizations with code, why not write diagrams too?

I've flown with airlines before where there was a cascading delay due to a "plane deficit" at the terminal (not the technical term, that's my own). Not to say it's always uptime, but I imagine there are instances of constant uptime.

By that logic, any app that provides privacy from governments spying is a criminal enterprise.

I imagine the use-case for low-code tools is when your ratio of "business experts" heavily outweighs programmers, and the cost of inefficient dev processes/tech debt is less than the cost of waiting to onboard people with a coding background.

I don't want to diminish how interesting the path is, but in my experience, it's still too far out of the way and too purpose-driven to have the organic spontaneity of a good third space.
