I saw it at the bookstore and found it funny how Capital was in the philosophy section while Wealth of Nations was in the business/economic section.
The two books are not as different as people think, especially since Marx took a lot from British empiricism.

Gramsci would have something to say...

Having grown up reading terrible adventure novels as a kid, I think this is my favorite bingo card for @oxide.computer's Oxide & Friends podcast.

Before even plugging in the stove and testing with the multimeter the cat did a visual inspection and found the bad wire before I did...

Started on windows in VMWare Workstation, then went all in and went baremetal FreeBSD on the laptop. Works like a charm!

These little soldering kits are fun go work on while watching cartoons with my cats.
Always a blast to learn new skills

What a fool! Doesn't he know that WD-40 is a water displacement penetrating oil?
If this were a serious project he'd be making PB-Blaster Git!

And congrats on the Series C....but that ASCII art is just stylish as hell

I love the ASCII art on the site. The headers are cool and the animated ASCII servers that assemble when you scroll the main page are awesome

Spending my day away from classes on campus helping the girlfriend film a commercial.

Guess who was featured as a hand model

So as someone who has never worked on a compiler and knows nothing about writing them, are you two actually impressed or are you being sarcastic with the $20000 and two weeks comments?

It's faster than what I could do

Its cool that they can run these things in parallel and build testable outputs

Sadly that's always been apart of American, and to some extent Canadian, history. Hofstadter wrote his classic Anti-intellectualism in American Life back in the 1960s

I think social media and its emphasis on simple, shareable, lowest common denominator info makes it worse. Harder to share an essay

"they just no drivers for anything modern..."

I need to drink either more coffee in the mornings...

I remember a SMBC comic where a character talks about how studying classics won't get you a job or have material benefit. It's an escape from the world where you can listen in and take part in a conversation thousands of years old.

I'm honestly surprised by your bad luck with ISPs. Up here we basically have two to choose from, so it's rare to get a good deal. I had always heard down south you get faster for less

Exact opposite experience of me this week.

Was told my plan was no longer being offered so they bumped me up to 2G for and cut my bill by $10 a month.

I would trust my family with something built by Skynet before I would trust them with something from him.

I've been working with it to act as a tutor while I break my work into smaller chunks.

Each time I complete a task I have it do a code review, make me fix the mistakes, complete a test on what was wrong, and write a blog post of what I did before letting me go onto the next chunk

Keeps me focused!

That's really cool!
I read your blog post and can see how your experience would be invaluable in deploying agents
