A couple of weeks ago, I decided to write a GUI utility to propagate my new PuTTY default settings to existing sessions. I took the Go Walk package, which is Win32, and was done in several hours, most of those spent hunting down an obscure

Yellowstone rangers taught us that building an effective anti-bear trash container is impossible because the top 10% of bears are smarter than the bottom 10% of tourists.

My prediction is that when Chinese factory-cities adapt to tremendous demand, we will see a new digital Renaissance with teraflops of compute in toasters and kettles. And we will laugh at laptops with 8 GB of RAM so hard. Your compute is so

I think every sane person today should abstain from insider trading markets (stop calling them "prediction markets", BTW). If you are not an insider, you are a sucker - someone who will definitely lose out to insiders' gains.

On the interview for my current job, they asked me what I would do if I needed to download the entire Wikipedia. They expected me to design a scalable system with a separate crawler, parser, download queue, exponential backoff, and stuff. I

This is because in Japanese, the verb (or the main predicate) almost always comes at the very end of the sentence. Half of the time, you have a chance to get the whole phrase wrong. The same, but rarer, may happen in German when a long, com

There's no stickiness per se. The thing is, all modern LLMs are good enough to answer everyday questions most people ask. Moreover, I really think most people using LLMs for more specific tasks (e.g., coding) will not be able to distin

The culprit here is the TLD operator. Why on Earth would they suspend a domain because of some private web browsing blocklist? FWIW, the client may not even bother with the web browsing; there are hundreds of other things we use DNS for. Al

You were getting it wrong all this time. The #1 use case for crypto is buying illegal stuff. Mostly drugs, but also weapons and child pornography.

Papers I read on arxiv mostly say that persona prompting changes tone of voice and attitude, but not the quality of the answer, at least statistically. For example: https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.05858

All perceptions are very personal and anecdotal. Here's mine: I tried to rebuild a website from Hugo to Astro. Gemini 3.0 was mediocre and in the end just failed and was unable to complete the task. Sonnet did almost well. I had to flu

I am almost sure that those two acts refer to human beings reading and listening, not to algorithms. Or at least a decent corporate lawyer will convincingly turn things that way.

Google is notorious for creating bad products, and right now, Gravity is the worst ML-assisted code editor on the market, IMO. Also, I personally experienced a mishap when Google ML-chat was unable to sync chats between the web and mobile c

If we (as in "civilization") were able to produce that many solar panels, we should cover all the deserts with them. It will also shift the local climate balance towards a more habitable ecosystem, enabling first vegetation and th

Telegram Messenger works fine at 2G (bar photos/videos, obviously). I was surprised by it. This is an upside of "building your own crypto" or the MTProto protocol, in their case.

Can you remember the last 3 times when ads showed you products that solved your problem? I cannot. The closest experience I have had was with ads for new restaurants, of which two turned out good and one - not good. Also, twice last year, I

My point is not that Russia can win the war with Europe, it definitely can not. My point is that Europe can't even start the war with Russia. It is economically and politically unsustainable for the EU locomotives: Germany, France, Net
