One thing about the GPUs that I think is unmentioned, is that the LLM models are also becoming more efficient, right? So you can get more tokens or more "work" out of the same GPU as the technology improves

Artificial Vanilla flavour used to be commonly sourced from the secretions of a beaver's anal gland (castoreum). It still is, but not as commonly

The above commenter is misinformed (and seemingly harbours some misplaced anger towards drivers as a result). California and BC have similar driver protections which still don't guarantee minimum wage.

I Doordash in BC and typically make less than minimum wage after expenses.

It's true that the legislation provides some protections, but that's based on "active time" which doesn't include the time returning to "hotspots" where you may be assigned orders.

As an example, if someone in a residential area that's 10 minutes from the nearest restaurant orders a delivery, you are "active" while picking up the delivery and driving to the customer, but not for the 10 minutes driving back out of the residential area. It's a bit of a waiting game.

Also, I can tell you from personal experience that most customers are not tipping. My average tip per order (across 1300 orders) is between 50 cents and 70 cents per order. If you are tipping on all your orders it's definitely appreciated though.

I agree with fuck Doordash, but not sure why you have so much animosity towards people working this job.

I didn't say that; I think pointing out the difficulty and danger in maintaining more invisible state than one already does is a perfectly valid criticism. But that wasn't the argument being made, at least not how I read it.

In most shells, the prompt is configurable. So you have yours configured to display the current path, as most do. It would be trivial to change it to display the current path for all namespaces across which this state is managed.

But a lot of times, you also need to think about executing programs from within a script, where you don't have this prompt. Thus, it's invisible state.

I haven't used it yet, but isn't it also a Harness? Or do you run Pi or Claude CLI or whatever from inside Herdr?

Every time you rely on the current working directory, that's invisible state then. Even without multiple single-letter directories each maintaining their own state.

They are being dispatched to the restaurant to pick up an order which was already placed, and which their system is telling them is ready (whether this is correct or not). They also make less than minimum wage in most markets, and their wage is tied to their efficiency.

I don't understand why you think they should wait in line in restaurants where people order at the counter, to pick up their order which was placed online. And if you want to see this, you should be supporting legislation makes them proper employees who get a proper wage based on their time working.

I call them Xcretions or Xcrement

Doesn't libcurl do this also?

In terms of number of people spied on to number of people involved in spying, sure. China and U.S. are probably the world leaders in spying; its just a smaller percentage of the economies of both

I wonder if there is something to said about the importance of being able to clearly communicate at some higher level being even more important now than it has been in the past, given that developers are increasingly expected to work with LLMs

It's something I struggle a lot with (and I'm currently unemployed)
