LLM slop. See their comment history.

I tried it on my iPhone 13 mini. I believe the model you get changes depending on your phone specs. For me it downloaded a ~1.3GB model which can speak in complete sentences but can’t do much beyond that. Can’t blame them though—that model is tiny, and my device wasn’t designed for this.

LLM slop. See their other comment which is even more obvious.

They only have one comment on this site unless it was deleted…

They have several, but the others won't show unless you have showdead turned on, as they've already been flagged.

My friend, that’s entirely the point :)

To the author I’d recommend a Casio Oceanus. The same tech as a G-Shock (solar, atomic, Bluetooth) with the polish of a Grand Seiko at 20% of the price. Better to get one in Japan as the US retailers charge a lot more.

Found that I prefer mine over watches that cost 5x as much.


Good recommendation, also shout out the Casio Lineage. (solar, atomic, sapphire crystal, titanium case/band). I got mine sub-$200. This one: https://www.casio.com/europe/watches/casio/product.LCW-M100T...


Here's a basic one: https://www.sakurawatches.com/casio-oceanus-ocw-s100-1ajf

Titanium, atomic clock sync, solar powered, $368.


One way to improve things could be to charge for each new account signup if you don’t have an invite from an existing member that vouches for you. Spamming when you risk losing $5-20 per account raises the cost substantially.

Invites could be earned at karma and time thresholds, and mods could ideally ban not just one bad actor but every account in the invite chain if there’s bad behavior.


After a decade of writing go, I always wrap with the function name and no other content. For instance:

do c: edit b: create a: something happened

For functions called doC, editB, createA.

It’s like a stack trace and super easy to find the codepath something took.


I have a single wrap function that does this for all errors. The top level handler only prints the first two, but can print all if needed.

I have never had difficulty quickly finding the error given only the top two stack sites.

Any complaint about go boilerplate is flawed. The purpose and value is not in reducing code written, it is to make code easier to read and it achieves this goal better than any other language.

This value is compounding with coding agents.


Are they rare? Aren’t credit unions worker cooperatives? Insurance is often structured this way, and I’ve heard of farmer collectives too. I have a worker cooperative grocery store nearby. I do photography as a hobby and there’s all kinds of photography cooperatives, including Magnum which is incredibly famous in that world. I’m in an HOA which is another cooperative.

This doesn’t seem rare to me.


Most "co-ops" are customer co-ops (Credit Unions, for example, are owned by their members, most grocery co-ops are membership programs, REI is/was the same). Farmer co-ops are owned by a collection of farmers, to pool resources for selling to consumers, but most employees aren't co-owners. Worker's co-ops are rarer, but you find them in the taxi industry pretty often, and in home care.


Today I learned. Thank you!


I think credit unions are often owned by the customers or members. Not the employees.


This is interesting because it’s also one of SQLite’s monetizations. SQLite is in the public domain, but you need a commercial license to access their TH3 test harness with 100% branch coverage used to validate SQLite on different platforms.

This has always struck me as such a strange monetization strategy. Do they actually make money off this?


It works as a fork deterrent; forks can't easily prove they are still correct without the test suite, so if a company needs to tweak SQLite for any reason, they are better off paying for the tests so they know their tweaks won't break anything.
