Maybe you don't realize how important humans in the loop are. Astronauts during the Apollo mission could do way more in a much shorter period of time than, say, Mars rovers, even 50 years after. People can take initiatives on a complet

Seizing a domain probably costs way more in procedures than any renewal fees. Also, blocking websites typically doesn't involve ICANN, the infringing website still owns the domain. They just order ISPs in the country to lie on some DNS

Which German laws did RT break? Propaganda usually isn't banned, except in specific cases (defamation, hate speech, etc...). But AFAIK, RT is not special in that regard, it is just the kind of content one would expect from a website op

Tradition, mostly. Tennis is seen as an upper class sport and prices will be set accordingly, it is not the case everywhere though. Another reason is that a tennis court takes significant space for just 2 (or 4) people. So unless it is subs

I think the article could be more accurately titled "A Guide to Gen AI / LLM Vibecoding for Programmers who hate their job" To me, someone who actually love programming, it makes vibe coding look like hell. > The workflow

What they are really selling is an AI service subscription. They are giving out the actual text editor for free.

VSCode copied most of the good features of ST and it is free and open source. Just that is enough to overtake it. I still use it, it is maintained and it is very good and fast, and that it didn't try to reinvent itself is a good thing

There is a market, it is just not lucrative enough for big players to take it. There is however a company that caters to these niches: Unihertz The have small phones, massive phones with huge batteries, rugged phones, phones with keyboards,

The size is about what every manufacturer settled on, and what most people want, it is unfortunate that smaller phones are not an option but it doesn't sell. What bugs me however is that thin body with a huge camera bulge. Do anybody a

I don't have a startup, but not accepting $32M doesn't seem particularly easy to me. I am sure plenty of people here know these things, this is Y Combinator after all, but to me, the general idea in life is that getting money is h

Boycotting a text editor because the company that makes it accepted funding from another company that has a partner who holds controversial views on a conflict in Gaza where children are killed is going a bit far I think. In a perfect world

I am not sure about the legality of game mods. Most companies tolerate them, sometimes encourage them, as long is it is not disruptive. Cracks and cheats however are definitely illegal and companies often take action against people who writ

RFC-3514 [1] proposed an effective solution against attacks. So see, there are initiatives, but people treat it as a joke, maybe because of when it was released. [1] https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3514.txt

It happens to me all the time, however, I want to have real answers. And while a LLM is sometimes involved, I usually go deeper, with some cross referencing, fact checking and primary sources. LLMs are great at giving you a starting point

About urgency, there is a simple way to tell what is really urgent and what is "urgent". If your boss tells you it is urgent, it is probably not. If people working in the field call you directly, now you have a real emergency. The

It is actually a good thing for consumers buying the base model as their car is effectively subsidized by those who pay for the subscription. Note that here, subscription is just an option, you can also buy the permanent upgrade.

True in most countries. The president or more generally the chief of the executive often has legal immunity. It makes sense because that are the law, at least in part. In democracies there a usually some protection against abuse of that p

Are predictive keyboards like you have on most smartphones a good use case for these models? It certainly would fit. My entry level phone has 6GB of RAM and more than enough computing power to run such a model as fast as I can type. Even on
