I like the way that the framing calls attention to the disparity between academic computer science and industry software development

I always found "wave function collapse" to be a terribly overcomplicated name for a pretty intuitive concept. The first paragraph does a good job explaining the term, but still I wonder how many people stray away from such things

Looks like unregistered two letter .inc domains are going for $2300/yr. Certainly <5% of the cost of a single developer.

From the page linked: > After making attacks on Jewish bankers, Coughlin began to use his radio program Golden Hour to broadcast antisemitic commentary. In the late 1930s, he supported some of the policies of Nazi Germany and Fascist Ita

There was a very similar discussion on lobsters the other day. You might be interested in reading it. In general, I agree with the idea that writing everything yourself results in a higher quantity of low quality software with security issu

I think I'm having a hard time understanding the value of this piece. Is carefully reading the code you're writing/working on not the default? How on Earth do you write code without understanding what it does?

There's a lot of both negativity and positivity here. I think both are warranted and important. I'm not generally a fan of Musk and think most of his ventures are overhyped. I also understand that Neuralink committed a series of h

It was surprising to me just how many of the banned books have immense literary value. The Color Purple, The Handmaid's Tale, The Kite Runner, etc. aren't random books that may be a little obscene, they're literary classics.

Kind of a nothing story if everything has been replaced. My car could make it to 1.2M km too if I replaced the engine every time it gave out. Seems like a huge time and money sink for no good reason. Not to judge the man for having a hobby

We shall see. Undoubtedly much of this order will be challenged by some pretty powerful institutions and lawyers. Unfortunately, my confidence in the supreme court to uphold the fairest or least destructive interpretation of the law is at a

This is a valuable viewpoint that lines up somewhat with some other discussion I've seen on the topic [0]. I'd like to see more posts about structuring code for the auto vectorizor (with libraries or otherwise) rather than writing

"Why should I put in effort to learn when the world already has thousands of writers better than me?" This problem isn't new. People don't create art based on supply and demand. I don't think there's a future w

I'm not sure anonymity online is "the last vestiges of free speech." Free speech existed before the internet. I'm not sure there's an effective solution that's easier and imo the downside here is minimal anyway

What I'm hearing is "I would rather let millions of kids get victimized than allow even the remote possibility of being held accountable for what I say on the internet." In my mind it's all of our problems that children

So your alternative is teaching millions of 40+ year olds how the internet works so they can implement dns blocks on their home routers? Service side age restriction seems much more effective than mandatory parenting classes.

Ideally, sure. In practice, that hasn't worked well. I was a youth fairly recently and I can assure you my mother lacked the knowledge to meaningfully enforce any content restrictions on my devices short of physically going through my

I found that jarring as well. I'm all for mixing in a jovial, even immature tone to keep technical blog posts interesting but at the very least I'd prefer to keep it non-vulgar.

I strongly suspect that said states will still find a way to get federal funds for relief, whether from the president directly (since Trump's stated plan is to replace FEMA with his own discretion) or, in an emergency, through a very q

I'll throw my hat in the anti-Wayland ring. I have a 5-year-old graphics card from the most popular graphics card company in the world. And yet, in 2025, I cannot run Sway/Wayland on my Nvidia 3070 for more than 20 minutes without

While I also disagree with the court order and OpenAI's implementation (along with pretty much everything else the company does), the conspiratorial thinking in the comments here is unfounded. The order is overly broad but in the conte

It's almost certainly all one individual in Saudi Arabia, though their motivation is unknown as is why they try so hard to obscure their identity. The full story is pretty fascinating and I highly recommend this video on it. https:&#x

The implication was that the low salary selects for people who value helping people more than they value money.

One downside I found is that the llm cannot change its initial prompt until it's done thinking. I used deep research to compare counseling centers for me but of course when it encounters some factor I hadn't thought of (e.g. the c

At least in my case, vegetarianism + being underweight means I need to pay an awful lot of attention to protein. What a strange thing to complain about, given the imo more pressing issues in the standard American diet.

That's pretty cool! It's extremely frustrating that they go through so much effort to block third party apps, but the solution of just downloading and emulating the android app is simoultaneously very clever and very straightforwa

I find that the extremes of hostility are worse on bluesky, but the average skeet is much less hostile. And there's just straight up fewer skeets to be angry about.

I'm aware of at least one project at $work that will definitely break at some point that no one but me knows how to fix. Despite my best efforts to leave breadcrumbs to good resources and an extensive ReadMe, I suspect if I'm gone

Extremely informative on what not to do. He never prototyped his game to see if the mechanics would actually be fun, rewrote it in a more tedious way every time he got bored, and then stopped working on it and took everyone's money to

In fairness, at one point the extremes of the public's opinions were much closer. It''s easier to debate "should we raise taxes x% to accomplish y goals" than e.g. "should we invade Canada for quite literally n

That's not what was said. The line of comments was "free markets are not under attack" followed by "From this perspective, they are." There was no judgement passed. I don't find your response curious or otherwi
