> Reminding you what food is going to be bad soon. Letting you know a list of recipes you can do with what food you have

I feel like this is what people say a smart fridge _could_ be good for, but can they even do that? From what I understand the most sophisticated ones can tell you if some specific items are in your fridge, and otherwise they just do basic shit like display photos and tell the weather.

Hours of bleeding-edge CV analysis sounds pretty expensive for a triple-A game streamed to 500 pairs of eyeballs. They’ll be using the pen & paper approach, too.

I appreciate the replies on the determinism point and I’ve learned some new things here. In any case I probably should not have tagged that on, as my main point was to share that the sort of property that parent is talking about (whether true for all LLMs/providers/harnesses or not) is statelessness, not idempotency.

> All requests to an LLM are idempotent, for every API call you need to send it the entire conversation history

A more appropriate term is “stateless”. LLM responses are certainly not idempotent, as they are not even deterministic.

The ring sizing has been such a debacle, first with needing to buy (!) their special ring sizing kit because standard sizing wouldn’t be accurate they said, and now they say that the ring sizing kits weren’t true to size and suggest this:

> When in doubt, order a larger size. You can always adjust a larger Index 01 to feel smaller with a foam adhesive or clip but you can’t make it larger!

Size up and shim it with foam!

> Moves are trusted

Indeed, you can just play e1e8 and capture the opponents king (which doesn’t end the game). It’s a digital chessboard, not a chess engine.

I hope you don’t kill someone.

My child has an SE, and the only downside we’ve seen is that without a connected iPhone or WiFi network, the battery life is unimaginably bad. That little LTE radio works hard in the school.

I'll never understand why people think this looks human:

  What Made This Time Different
  This time, I didn't just install FreeBSD.
  I created a system for learning and success.

  Clear goal: FreeBSD as my daily driver
  Daily habit: 10 minutes minimum
  Accountability: post the journey on Linkedin

Gee, why not let the agent try FreeBSD for you and do the posting directly

There are two attempts to render an American flag on that page and they’re both wrong

I'm trying to remember if anyone complained like this about the Apple Card offers in Apple Wallet. For some reason advertising their credit card is completely fine, but advertising their movie is where people get out the pitchforks? Not defending either, I think both are egregious. I just think it's interesting.

Excited for this—was NOT expecting it to tell me to follow them on Twitter after signing up! That one sure hits different than the last time…

That blog is simply saying the same thing as GP—that it’s a term from gov agencies, and musing about applying the same ideas in their work.

Not the author, but when I use the phrase I mean each commit accomplishes a single important thing, but also that each commit is complete: it includes necessary tests for example. IMO every commit that lands on `main` must pass the test suite (this means intermediate commits should be squashed into that atomic commit).
