Does anyone know what the "Poke" service that this blog mentions is? I'm having trouble finding it on Google.

I'm experimenting to see if frontier LLMs can do practical CAD modeling. I'm starting with a single task: designing a wall mount for my bike pump in OpenSCAD or CadQuery (two code-based CAD systems). None of the frontier LLMs (Gem

In my personal experience, OpenRouter makes it easy to call Gemini 3 Pro Preview and other frontier LLMs with very little setup. It’s great for projects where you want to compare different LLMs or have the flexibility to switch. It charges

This problem seems prevalent on cheaper devices. When I buy a device and discover it has this problem I always return it. I've seen it on the Hypervolt Go 2 (which I returned and replaced with a Theragun Mini) and on the Hitachi Magic

None of the apartments I've lived in for the past few years have had a washer large enough to wash a king-sized comforter, so I use a duvet instead.

It says "each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold" which I think means as long as you're updating your app at least once a year, you pay for each device your app is installed on (minus 1 million, which is

A significant part of this announcement seems to be the €0.50 "Core Technology Fee" that Apple will now charge for "each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold". I think this essentially means that larg

A related effort is the NYC MTA's 10-year project to bring cell connectivity to subway tunnels (not just stations). You can already experience this if you take the L from Manhattan to Brooklyn: you will have continuous cell connectivit

I like Evan’s 2009 post a lot, but I like John’s analysis here even better. John seems to make fewer assumptions; in particular, Evan assumes a 95% confidence bound.

Jupytext provides a system for version controlling notebooks, code reviewing them, and using them in the context of a larger Python project, without imposing any constraints on the larger project, because Jupytext saves notebooks as plain .

I would potentially pay for this in Mandarin, although I'd be wary of the quality vs human-produced sources. I often practice by reading sites like https://cn.wsj.com/ , https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen&#x2F

You can hit Cancel and it will still retain the auto-join setting (very counterintuitive).

I've been very happy with my AirGradient [1]. It measures PM2.5, CO2, temperature, and humidity. I got the $67 kit and assembled it; it was a fun soldering project. I like that I can reflash it and get it to send data to VictoriaMetric

A useful acronym to follow is PPP: plans, progress, problems. This can apply to tactical day-to-day work or higher-level things like career development.

Keyword and optional arguments (seen in e.g. Python, Bash with --flags, and OCaml) are my favorite language superpower. They make code more self-documenting and let you add add optional behaviors to functions. This makes it really easy to m

There is not a conflict here. PyTorch depends on many packages and none of them were compromised. Instead, a limitation with the way pip installs dependencies allowed someone to create a package on PyPI with the same name and version as the

It's important to understand that this issue was specifically caused by a deficiency in Python's packaging system: dependencies are specified by name and version, and if the user configures multiple package repositories, there&#x2

This uses trial division to find primes, which is not efficient, and I would not recommend using this implementation. Instead you should use the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm. Unfortunately this algorithm is easier to implement in an impe

FYI if you're running Arch Linux, Linux 5.19.13 has already been released into [core] so you should be OK, assuming that your mirror is up-to-date and you've run pacman -Syu recently. https://archlinux.org/packages
