Some of the o4 variants do stick to the facts. They are quite annoying sometimes, because they resist correction. It's almost as if admitting wrong requires empathy.

The flattery is also a turn off for me, yet I am not ignorant to the fact that even insincere flattery can be pleasurable. The voice model is even better at flattery - it actually sounds sincere!

As a long-time compulsive Internet user, I am aware of the emotional and psychological risks of this new technology. For now, the ability to find information faster (with certain caveats) means I actually spend less time on the internet tha

This is a neat idea! I wonder if it could be adapted to render as gopher pages.

That's surprising. What is the 486 missing that Linux needs? Or is it that there are no volunteers to test and maintain Linux on a 486 (as often happens with older architectures)?

Interesting, I didn't know about that one! Does it ship with GCC?

It's interesting to see C++ expressions being used to create what is I think an AST that then gets compiled. I would love to see some syntactic sugar, though. For example, `expression.Mul(rsquared, expression.Immediate(PI))` could b

In my experience, a free and ad-free app is often better, because it was written by someone who doesn't have profit as a motive (often just a hobby). There are tons of great paid apps too, but it's hard to know which paid app is

I did appreciate the ads on Facebook circa 2010. They were often for niche products I had not heard of and were genuinely interested in. I can't say it's like that anymore, sadly, but I can imagine someone genuinely appreciating e

I learned how to gamify work tasks from my mom. She worked as a librarian in the seventies. Tasks like restacking books was not fun, so she turned it into a game. Her coworkers, on the other hand, drew out the boring tasks as long as poss

This is a good point. I'm still looking for a good way for my kids to play mindrover on windows 11, and I haven't found one.

I had an idea the other day to use 64-bit character codes. Then each code can be interpreted as an 8x8 bitmap. Every character would be guaranteed to have a unique bitmap representation. The bitmaps wouldn't bet used for rendering, o

The limitation with the runtime switch is that it cannot be generated. If all you want to do is have different behavior for each type, then it's probably fine. But if you want to write generic code (apply the same function regardless

How is this different from simulation EPO production through other means or blood doping through transfusion? Edit: my original question conflated EPO with blood doping

It was my first computer. Everything still works great, except the original monitor died many years ago. I hope to replace it one day, but $200 for a used 12" monitor is more than I want to spend right now (I have a tractor I am resto

No, it's a PS/2 50Z, which comes with a 10MHz 286. It was my first computer, second hand from my dad. When I got it, I saved up and bought the 386SX/Now!, a 25Mhz 386SX that fits into a 286 slot.

I totally agree on having a computer with minimum distractions when writing -- for that I use a PS/2 386SX running WordPerfect 5.1. I loved my EEE, super portable, but the keyboard is too small for serious typing IMO.

I've built a lot of niche applications in Ruby, but a few years ago I switched most of my toy programs to python, because it's easier to find other devs who can meaningfully contribute if I write in python. At work I have been usi

Could this directly invoke Java (or Scala) functions without using a bridge? If so this would be great for programs that use spark -- UDFs would become performant enough to consider using on medium-to-large dataframes.

I've never used dpdk for kernel bypass, only open onload. Originally for solarflare hardware, apparently it works with cards from other vendors via XDP (though I've never tried it). It gets loaded via LD_PRELOAD and replaces ord

I remember trying both WindowMaker and AfterStep on RedHat 4.2 (or maybe 5.0). I picked AfterStep because it handled 256-color mode better. It wasn't long after that I had a card that could do 16-bit color and left AfterStep behind.

This kind of computing must be a different kind of world than the one I work in. 80 microseconds of latency seems high to me when infiniband can do single digit latency with unreliable datagrams, which turn out to be mostly reliable due to
