Taking away people's guns is unamerican, unless you're taking them away from someone I consider to be unamerican, like an immigrant or a liberal; in that case, it's for the good of America that we take away their guns, and th

Zuck is opposed to any sort of regulation of misinformation and lies because that sort of content drives engagement and that's what makes him money. If people on social media weren't allowed to post outright falsehoods then the en

Not to mention that storing the API keys on a developer machine (or distributing them to a developer machine) is the first step towards a developer's API keys getting leaked or exfiltrated. With this approach, the developer never has t

How does the AI tell the difference between trustworthy YouTube postings, accidental misinformation, deliberate misinformation, plausible-sounding pseudoscience, satire, out-of-date information, and so on? Some videos are a great source o

It's difficult for an AI to tell what information from YouTube is correct and reliable and which is pseudoscience, misinformation, or outright lies. In that context, I think excluding YouTube as a source makes sense; not because YT has

I came across a YouTube video that was recommended to me this weekend, talking about how Canada is responding to these new tariffs in January 2026, talking about what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was doing, etc. etc. Basically it was a new

Haven't heard of TCP_CORK, very interesting. For people who don't feel like googling it: 1. You TCP_CORK a socket 2. You put data into it and the kernel buffers it 3. If you uncork the socket, or if the buffer hits MSS, the kernel

I think what it means is: 1. It's an EFI application 2. It doesn't require any external runtimes, any setup, etc. (i.e. your UEFI system can boot straight into it without anything in between). At least, that seems to be the case.

Rust also. Similar to this: OpenTelemetry has a golang library that allows you to instrument your library so that you can send traces, logs, etc. to an OTEL endpoint, but that instrumentation doesn't actually do anything unless the dev
