My parents raised my brother and I in the back of a 92 Oldsmobile Cutlass. You don't need a vehicle where the hood is 48" off the ground to be comfortable.

Counterpoint: why am I able to buy a Ram 2500 and drive it without a CDL? I rented one recently to help a friend move some furniture and it's an unbelievably big vehicle. The example of the standard you suggest could equally apply to

tsgo isn't loading a full js jit compiler and a significant subset of the Node standard library. I'd be equally upset to see a Python compiler installing Pypy as a performance improvement to compile code for CPython faster.

The comparisons rank it against GPT and Gemini but not Claude. Is Claude's vision support simply not competitive when it comes to OCR tasks?

That doesn't help anyone using Node. I don't want to have to start using a new runtime because my compiler is slow. That's wild.

I go to the doctor every year for a checkup without symptoms. Why a year? Why not every six months? Two weeks? Day? If the false positive rate is demonstrably low, I can't see the risk. People who think they need a doctor will go to a

The first video has the actual device (whether it's functioning or not) and the second video is a render.

That doesn't make any sense. If the cost is training, the cost is compute, not data. Distilling another model means paying for that model, which isn't obviously less expensive than crawling the web and curating a dataset. Regardle

I'm excited to test out Zed's offering. I'm also going to look at some of the open source agent harnesses, even though I'll have to give up a fixed cost subscription. I suppose now is probably also a great time to kick t

Revocation lists can simply be replaced with a "tokens not valid before" field per user. When a user logs out, set the field to now(). Reject JWTs that have an iat less than that value. Am I missing something?

by bastawhiz 4mo ago
One of the linked posts explaining why you shouldn't use JWTs is bizarre at best: https://paragonie.com/blog/2017/03/jwt-json-web-tokens-is-ba... It boils down to "there were bugs in some of the lib

On a much larger scale, this could answer some of the challenges of cooling data centers in space. But it also could solve challenges terrestrially and potentially avoid some of the need for evaporative cooling (if you can direct the emitte

There's a big difference between a JIT like luajit which has lots of attention and fuzzing and one that's used by essentially nobody. Would you compile your daily driver kernel with someone else's hobby C compiler that essent

I guess that's what the GP and I are both saying we didn't feel. I have no idea what benefit "dynamic filtering" provides. It sounds good on paper but having tried both versions, I can't tell the experiences apart.

The idea of jit compilation of a web server in a small project is pretty terrifying to me. The attack surface here is enormous. And for what? My back end on a single host isn't pumping at 35k qps. If each request is 500 bytes, 35k qps

You can request a book from another library that's already checked out in some cases, which means you have to wait for it to be returned first. In my experience, a week is usually the norm.

> That only works if all the libraries coordinate to determine which one will hold the last copy, and if the expense of moving such books around on request does not exceed that of storage. This is actually a mostly-solved problem in many

My local library wasn't meant for academics, but the problem is exactly the same. In fact, I'd expect a library with those kinds of books to be more amenable to trimming the collection: you often don't have a romance novel

I run a Gemma 4 32b abliteration (int8) and it's remarkably good. It's been a real step up from Qwen in my experience.

My first thought is how accessible these books are. If a book hasn't been checked out in years, and there's another library in the interlibrary loan network that has a copy, there's no practical reason to keep another copy. I

I'm not convinced from the article that HTML-first was the thing that fixed the problem. What fixed the problem was 1) the person building it knew what they were doing and 2) it had design constraints from the get-go to be user-friendl
