Same, I read the first few and it just read as conspiracy theory material, where the "evidence" that refuses the claim has nothing to do with the claim unless you're already halfway down the koolaid pitcher. Always better to

Ah, I was hoping to see the full flightpaths in 3D space when you click on a plane, like on flightradar but then not just a flat line with colour.

You... should watch him stream. That'll pretty much answer your questions. Age is far less relevant to chess compared to keeping up with the current "meta" (in gamer parlance).

Kind of the "think of the children" argument: most things that are worth archiving have nothing to do with content that can be used against someone in the future. But the raw volume is making it impossible to filter out the worthw

fun fact, LLMs come in cheapest and useless and expensive but actually does what's being asked, too. So, will they? Probably. Can you trust the kind of LLM that you would use to do a better job than the cheapest firm? Absolutely.

That "seems" is doing so much heavy lifting I got a hernia just from looking at it.

Especially with things like github actions creating your releases meaning you don't have to build on your own hardware. You just set up three workflows that build on a windows, mac, and linux image, store the results in temporary stora

There's also zero incentive for individual companies to care: if I only want to use opus in VS code (and why would I use anything else, it's so much better at the job) I can either pay for copilot, which has excellent VS Code inte

Not going to call $30/mo for a github copilot subscription "cheap". More like "extortionary".

I found it a very weird section of the article, undoing most of what had been written before. Whether it's ROM programming, writing assembly, or C, or Rust, or JS-with-stdlib, at no point was anyone "teetering". Stacks have a

Because the people who work on this aren't a game studio, they're Civ enthusiasts making a free version of the game they love? If you want to see a free equivalent of 4, you know what to do: start the effort.

Civ 1 and 2 have already been done, so if you want to play those, hit up freeciv.

Why? Why would separate json/yaml/csv files be better than just... syncing using postgres itself? You point `psql` to the host you need, because clearly you have internet access even on the go, and done: you don't need to syn

That doesn't seem a super useful test for a model that's optimized for programming?

Licenses are not about what things "seem", their text should be clear enough to hold up to legal scrutiny, not just what some person who speaks some local variant of English thinks is obvious. Even if you're a lawyer, whether

And for those we tell them the truth: if all this bothers you, and it should, pay for the version of Windows that you can control, instead of paying nothing and having your computer (and data) be controlled by someone else. Or, of course,

It's still disappointing how few folks know about gpedit and how much you can reclaim your own machine just by running through the local policies and setting them to "no, I call the shots".

Are you saying the FAA has a permanent and up to date list of ICE operations? Because if so, that's a public list and something that some might be very interested in for knowing when and where ICE is operating. And if they don't,

Title should read "Microsoft confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if court-ordered to do so". Just because the article is click bait doesn't mean the HN entry needs to be, too. Sure, the fact that

What's that? Windows, due to its market position, should not be allowed to force users into online-only accounts? Agreed.

I didn't write the statement, nor did I waste time and money on this "experiment" when the US needs time and money spent on very different actions right now.

Gonna venture a guess and say probably https://www.chromium.org/developers , as that's where all the information for folks who actually need to know that kind of thing lives.

There was no challenge. There was a statement, "AI can write code, but it can't affect the physical world."

They're not halluciations. Don't anthropomorphise this nonsene, call it what it is because this is not a new problem: this is garbage data, and that garbage data should have been caught. Having a submission pipeline that verifies

As someone who was part of the "everyone should learn to code" movement, no, we didn't. We tried all kinds of stuff for a decade and none of it was actually any good, only the people who would have learned to make stuff anywa

But why are we still slapping on woefully tiny stock coolers that spin so fast your room sounds like an RC racing arena?

Neither the Windows Game Bar nor MacOS's QuickTime offer any sort of meaningful control over the codec or destination. Once you have OBS installed, you have pretty much zero reason to use start-g or cmd-shift-5. Plus, on a Mac you can&

LLMs are, by definition, real time at any speed. 50,000 tokens per second? Real time. Only 0.0002 tokens per minute? Still real time. Eight tokens per second is "real time" in that sense, but that's also the kind of speeds th
