My pet peeve with AI is that it tends to work better in codebase where humans do well and for the same reason. Large orchestration package without any tests that relies on a bunch of microservices to work? Claude Code will be as confused as

It's an interesting world for sure, I maintain a somewhat popular package and got a form to fill from a Deloitte consultant about security once. They seemed genuinely confused when I told them I was not going to fill compliance form an

Look I am all for Euro-skepticism, but "boycotting the best products" on an article about Microsoft Teams which is well known to be clawing its way into companies despite very negative feedback due to advantageous pricing when you

Yeah I don't know their stack but I have a service that is a collection of microservices and Opus can debug them fine by aggregating the logs tied to the same faulty request ID. In general for those tasks though the question is more &q

I am confused by what you mean by this. An average user would interact with the new "Settings" and never really touch or see Control Panel...

Internally maybe, but Trump has a way to trigger large political movements within countries. Canada was supposed to have a large (historically large) conservative government 3 months before the latest elections, but with Trump in the white

Miners usually don't overclock though. If anything underclocking is the best way to improve your ROI because it significantly reduces the power consumption while retaining most of the hashrate.

Especially since AWS still have p4 instances that are 6 years old A100s. Clearly even for hyperscalers these have a useful life longer than 3 years.

Not quite the same thing, but recently I want to make adapter clips for connecting powerblocks to a barbell, making them suitable as weights for deadlift/benching. I have fusion 360 experience so I designed something to 3D print as usu

Are most circuits novel? I'd assume that there is enough out there to fit 80% of PCB design needs and sure it can still be bad at the remaining 20%.

Mesh is inherently easy to track for the government though (even if we ignore DoS). You could analyze irregular RF patterns and target node operators. Wouldn't take long before people completely stop using them.

I get where the author is coming from, but (I promise from an intellectually honest place) does it really matter? Modeling software in general greatly reduced the ability of engineers to compute 3rd, 4th and 5th order derivatives by hand wh

I stand corrected, I guess there are still plenty of sticks to beat us with.

I haven't kept up to date but does the US have that much more leverage over Canada anymore? Last I checked we have tariffs on most exports, including crude, wood, steel and aluminium (probably missing a bunch). General goods are tariff

It's interesting that you get downvoted for what is, from a historical perspective, a very down-to-earth reasonable take. I don't have kids but I am at the age where more and more of my friends are having kids, there definitely do

I've worked on document extraction a lot and while the tweet is too flippant for my taste, it's not wrong. Mistral is comparing itself to non-VLM computer vision services. While not necessarily what everyone needs, they are a very

Netflix spending 240Wh for 1h of content just does not pass the smell test for me. Today I can have ~8 people streaming from my Jellyfin instance which is a server that consumes about 35W, measured at the wall. That's ~5Wh per hour of

Not the original commenter but I work in the space and we have large annotated datasets with "gold" evidence that we want to retrieve, the evaluation of new models is actually very quantitative.

I personally would have preferred "defer import os" instead of "lazy import os". It might be the non-native showing but lazy import feels unserious.
