My friend tried to investigate the AI second opinion space, and was quickly shut down when putting in a proposal to the FDA. Apparently the net effect in patient outcomes because of a second opinion that isn’t verified/validated by a doctor was questionable enough for them to request clearer studies, proving the approach’s efficacy.

Bitwarden / ProtonPass + iOS has also been smooth. So sounds like a lastpass issue.

I’ve found that when the right cli tools are preprovided / provisioned for the LLMs to get the job done, they tend to do okay.

But when hunting for them in the wild, they get a lot more confused.

I’ve been using a friend’s app switcher because cmd+tab was a bit too slow and not window oriented.

But this has been pretty nice for me.

It’s also open source if you want to customize it for your own preferences (pinned apps, custom keybinds, etc)

I was going to say the same thing. Purdue Hackers has grown into a much needed space at Purdue, nice to see the effects going beyond.

Unfortunately even with these improvements, working in the repo was quite slow.

Changes branches took an eternity, and people resorted to a more workspaces style solution.

If you’re planning on starting a big tech company, I wouldn’t recommend the approach.

I’ve seen some talk of replacing etcd with FoundationDB, which could yield similar improvements.

Ironically in SF it seems inversed. Whole Foods is second cheapest to Trader Joe’s, and Safeway is the most expensive.

I was looking for this 2 days ago for a new computer setup.

I haven’t had a chance to download this yet, but hoping that it has native keybindings. (Cmd+N) on mac for composing a new email or something similar.

I know fastmail’s built in keybindings are robust, but I can’t keep track of them all.

I don’t see this article actually arguing against GitOps. It just argues that the policies in place for GitOps need to make sense for the environment you’re developing in.

Obviously, the level of auditing and reviewing for infrastructure changes in a Prod environment make no sense for a Sandbox environment, and there’s nothing in GitOps that implies these need to be the same.

Ideally at every phase of development, you have very legible infrastructure that can be shared and iterated on by a team. The CI pipelines backing this should offer rapid turnaround times, and things should be easy to test.

All things which the general GitOps concept still works in tandem with.

Eh, I think more optimistically, this is something her and her partner could joke about, and that he got a chuckle out of it.

I’m sure more heartfelt words were shared outside the scope of this obit.

My current assumption is that other classes of assets, assuming technological progress continues at its current rate, will grow significantly faster than demand for land. So the economics that once made homeownership favorable, no longer exist.

Holding the assumption that your landlord operates on favorable conditions (mine is pretty responsive and rent increases are controlled), I’m not sure I have a good reason to opt to purchase a house unless I’m planning on occupying it for the next 2 decades at minimum.

I can’t help but think purchasing is an emotional decision, unless the location you live in allows you to buy for a similar rate to the mortgage pricing, but I’ve only observed this in LCOL areas.
