If your signal is "transparent" enough go through so much rock and iron without being absorbed (like neutrinos), you'll have a hard time capturing it on the receiver side.

Post-Quantum RSA is clearly a joke from djb, to have a solid reply when people ask "can't we just use bigger keys"?. It has a 1-terabyte RSA key taking 100 hours to perform a single encryption. And by design it should be beyo

I see frequent mentions of AI wasting water. Is this one such setup, perhaps with the CDU using the facility's water supply for evaporative cooling?

I think contenteditable is more akin to a rich-text document, while Hyperclay goes a bit beyond by allowing JS to edit the DOM too. I think Smalltalk images and virtual machines are a closer comparison, but applied to the web. You download

For people who are confused: Hyperclay is a NodeJS server and frontend JS library that allows HTML pages to update their DOM and then replace their own .html source with the updated version. Imagine clicking a checkbox, which adds the `chec

You might be confusing ASICs with FPGAs. You can't reprogram an ASIC, the algorithm is fixed at design time, and the chip built for this single purpose.

I'm a happy user of Fastmail. It's a paid service (€5 per month) but that comes with higher standards. The webmail has been pretty good. Barely any spam to speak of (once a week?), even though I have various email addresses in pub

I think that's a very important point, but I wouldn't call `or die()` an affordance . A common idiom, perhaps. A common affordance that invites mistakes is a library that has something like `file_exists(path)` (because it often i

I assume that they run the system prompt once, snapshot the state, then use that as starting state for all users. In that sense, system prompt size is free. EDIT: Turns out my assumption is wrong.

If the core API is just functions, how do stateful applications handle connections to this persistent storage? Can you still have a connection pool, or does every request pay the extra latency to start a new connection and re-authenticate?

In the video demo, Play 3.0 mini (on the left) incorrectly claims that the other AI missed a word. How does that end up in an announcement? Do people not notice, or not care? Or are they trying to show realistic mistakes?
