We still seem to have fairly bad tooling for advanced debugging use cases. There's no good reason you shouldn't be able to have an IDE maintain a text overlay of debugging points which is solely supplied as breakpoint scripts to t

Which is the point. There's been a concerted effort by the government to make this the story. Layoffs and cost of living problems but you must discount the evidence of your eyes and ears and remember it's over 50,000! The PE ratio

That is effectively impossible though. There's data centers of stripped down phones, so "it's actually a phone" doesn't do it.

The pacing of strategic military decisions being modulated to allow leading the futures market would be the very definition of "blood money".

That's just mandatory voting. The fine for not voting in Australia is about $30. This is...nothing in the grand scheme of things. But it's enough. And you don't even have to vote: you have to turn up, that's it.

They told the US government no on using Claude for approving lethal military strikes. China can get plenty of value from Claude without needing to use it for anything similar. They very specifically avoided a trap where the next time the US

The US despite everything still runs a popular vote driven democracy that is clearly capable of implementing on short notice, sweeping changes to policy. The problem remains that the US voter consistently demonstrates they don't actual

Put that way it's basically competitive evolutionary pressure to exhaust the context window of the other LLM.

It means you don't have as much to cool. Getting rid of 30 watts of heat is trivial compared to say, 300 (I don't quite know how to read that ratio since a 2.5kW SSD seems a little high to me).

Absolutely no one was running it on "social media is harmful". The policy was overtly that it had to be American owned.

My Chinese built inverter functions just fine without Internet, but I'd have to take over doing what Amber Energy are doing if I lost access to the cloud. But that's residential scale: at grid scale these things wouldn't be o

No, because the collimating effect on the beam would still require you to have line of sight to the emitter, and if a drone is able to get that close without being intercepted then something else has already gone wrong. But this is also an

Okay but if they're delivering take out the benefit is even greater - mobilizing the 1 ton metal box to get a take out order is even worse economics.

I don't know what harm you are imagining happens here. Because the actual environmental harm of normal customer pick up is pretty large - its very inefficient to have hundreds of people converge on one location, rather then a single pe

LOL. Robotics isn't even 1% of the way to replacing anything. Consider why every neat demo is a backflip and not washing the dishes or laying bricks or something.

People are killed by industrial equipment fairly regularly. I'd say we actually have a perfectly functional legal framework for all of this, and the real issue is a lot of new people are about to find out it also applies to them as wel

There was no feeling like the night my son started crawling on his own and we suddenly realized everything needed to be baby proofed even more. Suddenly you couldn't put him down and he'd roughly stay wherever you left him.

The problem with these numbers though is water isn't really lost in those processes and has another dynamic: you can't really bank it. There's tons of ecosystems where the biggest problem is we have to ensure a certain amount

This would be an extremely regressive pricing structure that still has the same punchline: somehow residential users pay more to still not have any water.

Honestly the biggest problem is the entire environment is very VCS hostile in a hard to crack way. I've had some success getting a bunch of scripts to export MS Access database structures, but it takes over an hour to run and requires

Oddly enough I have a whole bunch of the lithium-ion ones with a USB-C connector in the side. Keeping a specific charger around for batteries sucks but I have a lot of Anker chargers so this works quite well.

Why credit card numbers are full persistent baffles me. They were never meant to be memorable, and the whole process is electronic: surely this can be replaced by cryptography at this point? I've deliberately demagnetized me and my wif

I had a home battery put in recently and switched over to wholesale power...and the most shocking thing has been how little power our reverse cycle air conditioners actually use. Like, we bought them for efficiency, but between solar panels

Which does sort of loop around to the issue of Linux not having a stable ABI as a feature I suppose which would be one way to implement it with long term compatibility on kernel modules. But the Chrome example also highlights the problem: C

Yubikeys are also surprisingly annoying when setup for the as well. A working developer just needs sudo a lot. Realistically a "sudo button" would be handy, on the keyboard, with a display to show a confirmation pin for the reques

Isn't the better argument to ask whether there'd be benefit if all those things did? A lack of adoption isn't apriori a good argument against an interface, and serious bugs can happen anywhere. My personal opinion for a while

Caching NPM was easier when you could pull the Couchbase replicate API. Afaik that's gone and now you just have to send a bazillion http requests instead.
