"What does this mean? • New devices on the Covered List, such as foreign-made drones, are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the U.S. This update to the Cover

It doesn't have problems with undefined behavior, memory safety, or especially thread safety? That has not been my experience when using Codex, Composer, Claude, or ChatGPT. Things have just gotten to the point over the last year that

Yeah. I've got some EE coworkers that are vibe coding their way through everything and nothing in the codebase is understandable. We're going to have to go through another quality hangover I suspect. But since people that have nev

Yeah. I unfortunately moved to an APU where code size isn't an issue so I never got the chance to see how well that analysis translated to the work I do. Provocative talk though, it upends one of the pillars of deeply embedded programm

This feels a lot like trying to sanitize database inputs instead of using prepared statements.

It only ends up in the DNA if it helps reproductive success in aggregate (at the population level) and is something that can be encoded in DNA. Your comparison is nonsensical and simultaneously manages to ignore the billion or so years of e

You're communicating ideas across unknown thousands of miles with a stranger in near realtime and are able to comprehend each other, for one. No cat or dog has managed that feat yet. No cat or dog has managed to reproduce fire to the d

That's still ignoring the impact on bicyclists, pedestrians, and cars it can't detect because it's not a spherical cow on a uniform plane. Look at the output of a car from 10 years ago, 20 years ago, and 30 years ago compared

It's solving the wrong problem, and doesn't help the typical situation of being on hills, pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. Just turn the damn maximum output down.

The difference is THEY DID IT. Photoshop is not real. This was real. This was recorded. The value is in the authenticity and execution of a cool idea no one else has done before.

DNG isn't exactly rarely used, it's Adobe's open raw format and lots of image processing programs read and write it. It's not a codec made for one game back in 1994, it's still in very active use today if you'r

Old reddit is unfortunately just a rounding error. I weep for the day they decide to kill it.

Seriously. Binary search is one of the first things you learn in algorithms, and in a well-managed branch the commit tree is already a sorted straight line, so it's just obvious as hell, whether or not you use your VCS to run the bisec

No, I still want the option of sticking with the old version if I decide that I'm done for now and for it to continue working. I want to own my software, not rent it.

I paid for v1 and v2, and would have happily paid for v3. The reason I’m not using Adobe is to avoid their onerous subscription. If Affinity has moved to a subscription model then why bother not using the incumbent?

Attractive to look at and information dense for an expert are two very different things that I think modern UI design has forgotten about. Everything is simplified down to a stupid hamburger menu if you want to do anything off the happy pat

by Espressosaurus 1y ago
Yeah, my experience is that when they do work they'll get the job done but the design is going to be unmaintainable garbage unless I force my own design on it.

It's tiny and inhospitable, but it's beautiful like the inhospitable beauty of the high desert--but with snow. The pop of color of the houses against the the bedrock they're built on, the orange spray of lichen on the granite

How many of those jobs are for people with 0 experience?

It’s a nice idea, but evidence needed. We’re still plains apes underneath it all, and that has implications about our ability to plan long term, cooperate in groups larger than 1000, and especially cooperate with groups that are not part of

Yeah, they are both beautiful works in their own right, and as such “which is better” comes down to such minor differences of opinion I think it’s silly to try to rank them against each other. They are both devastatingly effective works of

So they shouldn’t be punished because they were negligent? Is that your argument?

Web pages and emails have gotten so bloated, how do you even use the internet over dialup as a consumer?

Different models have different (daily/weekly) limits and are better at different things. o3 was for a self-contained problem I wanted to have chewed on for 15 minutes and then spit out a plausible solution (small weekly limit I think?

It's a market problem. If I could get the lenses I wanted in APS-C format, I'd have an APS-C camera as my main camera. Instead the market has chosen for full frame to be the main place investment is done in, so I get a full frame

Wack HDR is usually the sign of a novice photographer, assuming it's not the phone (my experience is that phones go absolutely insane with the HDR and saturation). We all go through a period of abusing HDR and saturation, but we usuall
