Thanks, Copilot, for this utterly stunning suggestion

A suggestion from co-pilot: a code comment which reads "This is a placeholder for the actual implementation"

Yeah, engagement on BS has been hit or miss for me.

Feels like the communities that I care most about (data, ML, startups) have been just below the critical threshold.

But maybe we're getting there...?

Abe Gong @abegong.com · Jun 27

hm. Okay, that's a good data point...

A year ago, the anti-AI mob on bluesky was loud and intense, but I think it's faded

Abe Gong @abegong.com · Jun 27

It's not like we're ever going to run out of things that people are oversensitive about.

Abe Gong @abegong.com · Jun 27

How recently? 12 or even 6 months ago, the mobbing was intense, but I haven't seen it as much recently.

Abe Gong @abegong.com · Jun 26

So.... it seems like now we can post about AI on bluesky without getting violently mobbed.

... yes?

Before my partner goes camping, she counts the exact number of marshmallows and graham crackers she plans to use for s'mores.

I don't hink I could live that way

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

Unforgivable that Home Depot sells garden gnomes but does not have a dedicated section called Gnome Depot.

Last year we encountered a strange glitch in one of our surveys…the word “yes” was being replaced with the word “forks” in response options. Read on to learn how we unraveled what was causing it, how we ensured it didn’t impact the data quality, and what to do if it happens to you!

How a glitch in an online survey replaced the word ‘yes’ with ‘forks’

Dating back to at least early 2023, a bizarre and alarming technical glitch started popping up in some organizations’ online surveys and forms.

Can't stop giggling at this sample question used to test an AI reasoning model in a paper I'm reading

Every grimpus is a yimpus. Every worpus is a jelpus. Every zhropus is a sterpus. Alex is a grimpus .. Every lumpus is a yumpus. Question: Is Alex a gorpus or bompus?
