Why does the application window last four days? Charitably they're moving fast, but without already having people in mind for the roles or having created the hiring pipeline, how do you reach a sufficiently large audience. Is there an

No, I don't have any good ideas. Just hoping someone else does, or that I'm missing something. I think it's in the hands of browser vendors. The agent review a la socket.dev probably doesn't address all the gaps. I think

URL data sites are always very cool to me. The offline service worker part is great. The analytics[1] is incredible. Thank you for sharing (and explaining)! I love this implementation. I'm a little confused about the privacy mention. M

Page 38 has an interesting comparison saying a session of 8 "medium length" messages uses roughly 10Wh, the equivalent of ~2 phone charges. The data dashboard[1] I think is defining medium length as 1000 tokens in, 1000 tokens out

"The deal was negotiated without the input of the trial team, catching even the lead counsel by surprise." Is trial team a technical term? How would you negotiate without the people people most familiar with the case.

I remember it being worse a while ago. But most of the time I can drag a binary into Settings->Privacy & Security->Full Disk Access or other things (Accessibility API). Maybe other issues come up. I feel like it should still be mu

I feel like I can mostly use containers on macOS. Is there a different sense that people are using containers on *nix? Or are you referring to all the macOS specific software footguns? I would like to be able to run arbitrary code with grad

It behaved properly. I pictured someone using it on a 2 week road trip. But even within a couple hours traveling in SF/bay area, it can be pretty hard to know what weather you'll encounter. Even if you're a local.

A really thorough explanation of the journey of building a wireless button. So many great buttons over the years. Reddit's the button[1]. Bttn IoT button[2]. Amazon Dash button[3]. A placebo button[4]. I don't think I'll get

I immediately did SF to Reno through sacramento and south lake tahoe. Wildly different even in four hours. A URL that persists the entered route might be desirable (especially to demo here). Otherwise I'm sure the additional features a

The comment about lobste.rs caused me to go look into them again. I really liked their about page. I hadn't realized lobsters had evolved the hn format so much. There's lots of good ideas between the tagging, flag explanations, th

Ha. The Orchid was the first instrument I clicked on (in the Jamuary section) when I was trying to answer my own question. Thank you for the recommendations. You're half way to a logicalincrements.com (I assume there's natural pai

This is feels like life imitates art (the plot Stardew Valley). I hope you and your farm find great success!

Demo from the post - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8B4DuDFt2w Wow. This post covers a lot! As a non-synth/midi person I kinda bounced off and thought it wasn't for me but there's really so much cool stuff

You can see the vote history here[1]. It's always hard to know exactly why something gets buried. I was a little sad to see the story down-ranked when I saw that you were here in the comments. But the discussion is generally pretty low

One day I realized I needed to make sure I'm voting on quality stories/comments. I wonder if there was a call to vote substantively and often, if that might change the SNR. The guidelines encourage substantive comments, but maybe

It took me a while to start using canvases. But now I think they should be a much more common UI pattern. They really shine on large (40"+ non-retina 4k) screens. The simplicity at launch made me feel more confident in using them at al

According to the EFF fingerprinting website, Firefox + uBlock Origin didn't really make my browser particularly unique. But turning on privacy.resistfingerprinting in about:config (or was it fingerprintingProtection?) would break thing

I use a 43" 4k tv at the standard non-retina 4k with an m1 pro. I tried your 8k supersampling but it doesn't seem to improve on the default 4:4:4 8bit rgb non-retina for me. (smoother but not as crisp outside terminals?) The TV is

I think the poster is referencing that uBlock Origin does not work with browsers other than Firefox. And that while some sites work poorly (deliberately deprecating Firefox), other sites work very poorly (without uBlock Origin). Presumabl

This was a little dense for me to grok. Are these well known results or is there an abstract-like summary? The RYS (repeat yourself) hypothesis that duplicating (the right) layers is enough to improve performance (sorry for not reading clos

I think this is roughly true, but instead RAM will remain a discriminator even moreso. If the scaling laws apple has domain over are compute and model size, then they'll pretty easily be able to map that into their existing price tiers

I generally think that. But letting dwell time/clicks/open-rates expand the recommender and then (bound to swipe) 'disinterested'/'show less like this' to cull has been pretty efficient. I used to feel dum

Is there any discussion somewhere about adding in the data that makes the x.com/twitter recommend/ranker so functional? The "Grok-based Transformer"[0] that uses P(click/dwell/not_interested/photo_expand&#

For anyone reading this later. I read a little from sandvault and they suggest sandbox-exec doesn't allow recursive sandboxing, so you need to set flags on xcodebuild and swift to not sandbox in addition to the correct SBPL policy. (I

by big_toast 8mo ago
I love this implementation. Do you find the SBPL deficient in any ways? Would xcodebuild work in this context? Presumably I'd watch a log (or have an agent) and add permissions until it works?

I hadn't seen your site before (or been following SBC for a while) and just skimmed the article and was going to move on. (The post was very cool.) It wasn't until this thread that I actually clicked through to the sbc.compare. I

Normal price is a technical term I assume. Is it just a historical price, or is it knowable without market based price discovery?

Separate profiles is perfect. Not sure why I haven't been doing this. The keyboard shortcuts are wonderful and enter to open the article is so optimistic! Thank you for dragging me across the finish line. Your extension is glorious. Ed
