As long as entrenched Google, Meta and the Chinese Communist Party can use Open Source LLMs to kneecap upstart rivals, I agree. Once the upstarts are neutralized, the open LLMs will stop.

Really? Which place allows passkey login and only allows one key per account?

It matters for some things. Without those fictional leap seconds, the sun would be 29 seconds out of position at local noon, for instance.

It makes you wonder how much more effective U.S. auto makers might be without the regulation that requires them to sell through dealerships.

Food that is merely washed might be processed, but is not ultra-processed according to the Nova classification [1]. There's an actual criteria that's being applied in these studies that concern ultra-processed food. [1]: https:&#

A key difference between a passkey and a password is that a passkey is never transmitted off of your device. The existing tech that they most resemble is ssh keys.

My Thinkpad has a tiny SDHC slot. I put a 1 terabyte SDHC card in it (~$80) and have a cron job take hourly Restic snapshots of my primary storage. It's been reliable and has bailed me out more than once.

Pardon me if you're ahead of me on this, but it sounds like you might be using a proportional typeface as the default or fixed-pitch face. You should get nice-looking proportional type if you set the variable-pitch face to your desired

There's no reason buses need to be terrible. Intercity bus service in Mexico is practically luxurious, with big reclining seats that you can actually sleep in and thick curtains that close. In the U.S., there was a startup offering ove

Also not good, but also not at all like freelancing. Freelancers are paid. Advertisers pay for placement.

This is not at all the same thing. The New Yorker pays its freelancers. In the example in the article, the money is flowing from the content producer to the publisher, meaning it's an ad.

I think you're misunderstanding what's happening here. In traditional journalism using wire stories (or "curated content partners"), the publisher (Forbes, CNN, etc.) pays for the content. In the case of CNN Underscore,

The last slide says "let the system break". I strongly suggest that after that slide, there needs to be a whole series of slides about how to make it so that it's ok to let the system break. If you haven't already done t

I wouldn't worry about it. I don't see evidence that these Rust libraries have the kind of uptake that is alleged in the article. I think we'll be stuck with Freetype and HarfBuzz for a long time. I have been hacking on a Rus

Yes! There's a whole lot of "Don't Invent the Torment Nexus" in this article. The book makes it clear that the Primer doesn't work very well for most of its users, but worked for Nell because a voice actor cared for

Emacs in the 2020s is getting better and better as an application platform. Everything is faster thanks to native code compilation. There are multiple frameworks for interaction, including transient, forms-mode, widget.el, probably some oth

Oregon's decriminalization was really badly fumbled, but it's not clear to me that it would have succeeded in the best of circumstances. Vancouver,B.C. has all the diversion/treatment options and legal use sites you could wan

The Oregon decriminalization experiment had several really puzzling elements. One of them is that isn't clear that public use was illegal, at least not in a way that police could actually enforce. In a fun example of "the exceptio

Yeah exactly. Is Duolingo the optimal way to learn a language? Probably not, but it's really approachable and not terribly onerous, and it does expose the learner to some challenging stuff. The people up thread who say not to do it for

The part of pomodoro that's supposed to help you start is the limited time period. Many people find it much easier to undertake something if they know it's only for 25 minutes. If 25 minutes still seems daunting, by all means pick

It's really not that difficult compared to what we have now. In our current system, there's one hour a year that happens twice and one that gets skipped. It's a weird special case, but we manage.
