This is a good thing for Wikipedia right? Their financial model is donations, people who will simply get their info from an LLM output are likely not the type of people to donate to a free information repository. So their bandwidth costs le

Care to elaborate a bit on the UK comment, because it’s not clear what you mean or if you even live here? The UK doesn’t tax the wealthy or their corporations either. Meanwhile high earners like myself are kept from even middle class aspira

In your defence, the choice of wording is confusing and that particular announcement did have a sense of “game over”ness to it. But the intent was to say that Elixir as it stands from a paradigm perspective is done, but the existing feature

I’ve not tried Datastar in anger but I have tried HTMX after all the hype and it quickly became unmaintainable. My dream was having a Go server churning out all this hypermedia and I could swerve using a frontend framework, but I quickly fo

I’m using Bazzite now for about 8 months, and I have a dual boot Windows drive. I haven’t used the Windows drive once. Windows was my daily driver for 3 decades. Performance wise, there’s no degradation. I can run games at 4k or bonkers FPS

Good for them. This and Copilot are the reasons I use linux full time now, after.. 30 years of being a Windows user? Seriously you could install a modern distro with KDE on any computer and the average user would get by fine. And more enter

If you’ve been following the rumour mill and also understand Tim “zero waste” Cook’s MO of reusing parts in multiple models, this whole thing makes a lot more sense when you realise they’re going to release a folding iPhone next year, and i

It shouldn’t be considered a source of profit at all, attractive or not. Water is a fundamental resource for human life. We pay bills to ensure the infrastructure is there to provide it. If the infrastructure isn’t there, we haven’t receive

Anecdotally the company I work for is scuppered by bureaucracy when it comes to getting tools to work with, yet they want us to work at unhindered startup. We’ve found it’s actually quicker to just recreate the app (Postman, Obsidian, Claud

There is no scenario where these AI companies collapse and the working class come out better off. We saw it with the 2008 crisis, we saw it with the dotcom bubble, and we’ll see it with this: The people responsible will ride off into the su

As someone who has Word/OneDrive foisted upon them on their work Mac… why would you force this on people? iOS does it with its apps and iCloud but it’s seamless so you don’t mind. Using OneDrive is like putting your face next to an anu

Counterpoint, sometimes your engineer is taking ages to do small tasks because they’re incompetent, and if you do the task together you find it’s actually just you doing the work for them. Had to deal with this recently after trying everyth

It’s not quite as simple as “putting something in public domain”. The problem is the server costs to keep that thing in the public domain.

This is like creating a t-shirt that says “don’t shoot me”. The problem isn’t consent, the problem is that the gun is being needlessly pointed at you in the first place.

The takeaway here is that if you do “alternate day fasting”, that is you eat normally on one day then do not eat all the next, you will lose weight. I can’t believe that losing 3.5 days of caloric intake would result in weight loss. In othe

It was ridiculous but I think it’s important to note it was a jury trial: 1) They had a musician come in and deconstruct the songs, and she showed that many of Blurred Lines elements copied the “rhythm” and “feel” of the sheet music, not th

It’s not AI itself that’s the bad part, it’s how the world reacts to white collar work being obliterated. The wealth hasn’t even trickled down whilst we’ve been working, what’s going to happen when you can run a business with 24/7 auto

I’ve attempted to use HTMX a few times (as a React-hater, its hype lures me in) and every time I’ve come away feeling like I’ve wasted my time implementing a subpar solution. From reading this, I’ve decided I will never attempt to use it ag
