I’ve been learning piano for over a year gradually learning more and more pieces like that, and I’m starting to notice a limit to memory. The basic melody is easy to remember as you point out, but piano music often has multiple things going

Unpairing a device from icloud should probably require a second factor or a mandatory safety wait period. Same for every potentially really harmful action.

In the browser the google office suite absolutely beats microsoft’s, even after years of benign neglect by google. Comparing the desktop microsoft apps vs the google web apps I would say the microsoft stuff is more fully featured, but slow

Over longer distances it is more economical to use hydrogen as intermediary for electricity transport, as it can be moved through pipelines and ships and takes its loss mostly in the conversion, not the distance moved. Other benefits are th

If I were the gawk maintainer I would be unwilling to take on features by default. It is widely used infrastructure and keeping out bugs is far more important than taking on features. If the userbase keeps asking for the same feature over a

The EU didn’t tell those sites to show cookie banners, they just told them to stop collecting people’s data without their consent. It’s the sites that interpreted that as “annoy people until they consent so we can keep collecting their data

There seems to be a maximum amount of reasoning llm’s can do per token (per unit of computation). If you prompt it to use more tokens before it outputs the final answer (think step by step, check your answer, …) it becomes smarter. People h

S mode is like an ad-funded tier of a streaming service: you pay less up-front, but you are forced to watch more ads. Herding people to edge and bing is how microsoft makes sure they can present those ads.

In my opinion, a lot of "software bloat" we see these days for apps running on user machines comes from a mismatch between the developer machine and the user machine. The developer is often equipped with a high-end workstation as

If we’re going to be pedantic, let me point out that for a pwa a connection to the server is only required for initial install and successive data synchronization, so the operation of the web app I described is indeed literally serverless o

I keep rejecting this definition of "serverless" in my head. There's just as much server, it's just that someone else owns and operates the server, and holds your data or application hostage when they want to. This thing

This is what react server components is: the component tree renders on the server and is sent over a chunked http connection, gradually filling the page. The code is not sent to the client because events that necessitate a rerender go back

There was a pretty good open source development pipeline targeting the flash runtime in the later years. But the design tools and runtime were indeed always closed. Had adobe open sourced that runtime things might have turned out differentl

Other countries have national ID cards that must be presented to get credit. If there is no universal and secure way to prove you are you then identity can always be stolen. No amount of duct taping the credit system can fix that.

There is one difference. In macOS if you pay for Apple One all the annoyances go away. In windows, even if you pay for MS365, stuff is still really annoying.

If only, create react app is closer to 1500 packages. To be fair, the react team is moving away from CRA. However, they’re pushing people to next.js, which is even bigger.

Mastodon is a good way to get at this content in unfiltered form. Take a look at the raw feed of the sigmoid.social instance or follow the #LLM hashtag. If you want it more predigested and summarized I can recommend the AI Explained channel
