You simply can't have a single shot context with so many simultaneous constraints and expect to make forward progress. This cannot be solved with additional silicon, power or data. Smaller prompts and fewer tools tends to be more stabl

Right now it is. However, the amount of available land is fixed and the demand for its use is growing. Solar isn't the only buyer in this real estate market.

They've always been terrible at VM ops. I never get weird quota limits and errors in other places. It's almost as if Amazon wants me to be a customer and Microsoft does not.

I am using robocopy right now on a project. The /MIR option is extremely useful for incrementally maintaining copies of large local directories.

I think the AI community is sleeping hard on proper symbolic recursion. The computer has gigabytes of very accurate "context" available if you start stacking frames. Any strategy that happens inside token space will never scale th

I like the idea of using a transparent background in the webview. That would compose really well. The primary motivation for winforms was getting easy access to OS-native multiline input controls, clipboard, audio, image handling, etc. I co

This seems kind of redundant. I would just use flexbox for something like this. Grid is already an extremely rare item for me. I only ever use it when I need to control the overall layout for an app that has to work on a wide range of viewp

Dust, high ambient temperatures, latency, accessibility. I think the dust is the worst part in terms of operational concerns.

From a purely engineering perspective I think it becomes difficult to argue with the gas turbine once you get into the gigawatt class of data center. The amount of land required for this much solar is not to be understated. In many practica

IBM is the undisputed king of backward compatibility. There is code running on mainframes right now that is going on 50 years old. Microsoft is a close #2 with windows. I'd probably consider using IBM if it wasn't so goddamn weird

I still think that's actually what happened here. A tree in the middle of a 2.4 or 5ghz beam would have an effect, but its branches moving by a few inches would not have this much of an effect.

I would have stood my ground on the first name longer. Make these legal teams do some actual work to prove they are serious. Wait until you have no other option. A polite request is just that. You can happily ignore these. The 2nd name chan

Raw win32 isn't actually that bad now that we have LLMs. I don't even use the cswin32 project anymore because chatgpt is good enough today. I think win32 from modern C#/.NET is a very happy blend when you need that low level
