Well the middle ground does exist and it is mostly just a blend of the two problems. Most companies I worked tend to oscillate between these two extreme: - why can’t we get anything done quicker? We need to stop refactoring everything all t

I was downvoted 35 days ago, for daring to state that deepfakes will lead to AI being regulated. Of course “these are just recommendations”, but we’re getting there.

Why do a lot of science writers feel the need to turn hypotheses into certainties? That really drives me nuts. “We are now establishing that the moon is a more likely source of Kamo’oalewa”, says study senior author Renu Malhotra. He did N

In France the electricity meter talks to the provider through the power line. And my newly installed water meter reports water consumption through a custom radio module. It sounds completely stupid to rely on 3G networks which are spotty or

Whatever, man. Just did it with "Bing with GPT-4", not sure what that uses, and I refuse to pay OpenAI to do this so... Anyways, results are : Sure, let’s play Fizz Buzz with 3 and 7. Here are the first 15 numbers: 1, 2, Fizz, 4,

Congrats on the project, what you did looks nice but I have to say this: “brutalism” and “react” kind of clash in my mind. I understand you’re inspired by the brutalist aesthetics, but I read the very definition of brutalism as “not react”.
