What a trash article. Why is the only photo, used to illustrate the point about narrow buildings, a photo of Manhattan instead of anything in Japan? When "our zoning laws" are enumerated, where are they talking about? Last time I

Seems like this article misses the enterprise angle which is the main question. I'm sure some gamers aching for an upgrade will sign up for cloud PCs while RAM is overpriced, just like how Geforce Now had a moment while GPUs were overp

Linux malware looks different usually. This kind of plugin based framework running as its own process is uncommon, but web shells with similar functionality have been around for a while. And bad guys like working in the shell on Linux too,

You mean the costs? Travel is expensive but I don't think there's much of an argument that it's gotten more expensive like housing. International flights used to be quite a luxury, now it's so easy that the popular desti

To be fair big tech did do a full court press to stop site blocking when such a law (SOPA/PIPA) was proposed in the US, and they continue to oppose the MPA's attempts to get site blocking via the courts. DMCA on the other hand see

Yes, fetching arbitrary webpages is its own can of worms. But feels less intractable to me, it's usually easy to disable web search tools by policy without hurting the utility of the tools very much (depends on use case of course).

If someone can write instructions to download a malicious script into an codebase, hoping an AI agent will read and follow them, they could just as easily write the same wget command directly into a build script or the source itself (probab

Part of the problem here is all the vendor lock in with the tools. It's a new category so it's to be expected, but currently any company that sells an enterprise cloud platform kind of needs their own AI coding tool suite to be co

I think this article misses the main reason the white wired Apple EarPods and their imitators are popular: they're great for phone calls. Wireless earbuds all have awful microphones, technical measures to mitigate this seem to be futil

That refers to the sandbox "escape hatch" [1], running a command without a sandbox is a separate approval so you get another prompt even if that command has been pre-approved. Their system prompt [2] is too vague about what kinds

Thanks for sharing the screenshots! The fullscreen view looks a lot cleaner, will look forward to the updates. For monolingual dictionaries, I'm always using Yomitan's ability to look up words within definitions.

Manabi Reader (OP's app) is way too "busy" for my personal preference. Opening a book and seeing it covered in highlighting and annotations by default is intimidating. To the extent that progress tracking is fun, I want it to

Oh true, that actually sounds useful. I often just avoid that kind of novel because I'm terrible with names.

The addition doesn't really bother me because Calibre is already full of features that seem utterly useless, so I trust its author to add new stuff without ruining the parts that are useful to me. Still, does anyone actually use "

This is just DRAM hysteria spiraling out to other kinds of hardware, will age like fine milk just like the rest of the "gaming PC market will never be the same" stuff. Nvidia has Amazon, Google, and others trying to compete with t

Gamer social movements always burn bright at first, then die when they demand too much purity to reconcile with the fundamental truths: people want to make games and, when they're good, people want to play them. Trying to stop people f

True, I'm thinking more on the indie level. And "won't notice" is my hyperbole, of course sharp eyed people who use games and software are always noticing small technical choices even when you forgot them yourself. But i

On the art part at least, there's an analogy to Unity. No one liked low effort asset-flip games, and they gave Unity a bad name because they all showed the logo on startup due to using the cheapest license. But no one noticed or compla

They will need to figure out how to give IT departments controls to limit what data can be sent to the cloud backend. Comet and Atlas have "enterprise" versions but lack anything to control this. Edge has some controls that work w

I'd push back on drawing a sharp line between "institutional abuse" and "genuine erotic connection among equals". As the essay points out, the MeToo campaign did use call-outs against individuals in service of its g

The main part I object to in this essay is the ideological carveout. The author is seemingly willing to defend the #MeToo movement because it was in the service of a mission "to end a long-standing and long-permitted norm of sexual abu

Interesting. I've found Claude Code very useful for answering questions about codebases. I think that kind of functionality is on the whole more useful than static AI-generated documentation, but maybe there's a place for an alway

It's like writing an essay for a standardized test, as opposed to one for a college course or for a general audience. When taking a test, you only care about the evaluation of a single grader hurrying to get through a pile of essays, s

The way columns like this work is that the author pretends to have a rational basis for their claims that some feature of the masses' private behavior they don't like is going to destroy society, the trick being that they set the
