That is all fine and good as a quote in the body text of the article, but as a headline that is criminally poor editorial work from the Guardian. If it’s intentional clickbait, my opinion of that paper sinks even lower. To think, under Rusb

Okay, but would you concede that that is not an average theatre-going experience for most of us, most places in the world.

My man, your world view is twisted by dogma. You may not personally like how she runs AMD, but Lisa Su is eminently qualified for the job. Her gender has nothing to do with this. You need to check yourself.

On the other hand, PS5 controller - unlike an Xbox controller - gets you gyro control, which makes for a very nice mouse experience. I play tons of mouse-only games (e.g. Mechabellum) from the couch thanks to the DualSense.

I zeroed my (last ever) Windows gaming rig just yesterday. I’ve been eyeing Bazzite but ended up going with Pop, since I’ve previously had good experience on it with Nvidia. What finally let me do it was moving all my social gaming to PS5.

What don’t you like about the new LS and Land Cruisers? Is it just that the US market only gets the hybrids, or something more fundamental?

I see this criticism of Apple all the time and it’s completely at odds with my experience. Our family iPad Pro is older than my 8-year old son, and still gets security patches. My wife’s phone is an XS Max, launched in 2018; iOS 26 is the f

“text on top of text” is the real money shot. Even someone completely without design taste or strong preferences (ie me) can see that that is a hilariously bad idea. I’ll be sticking with the previous iOS / MacOS versions as long as po

That looks very interesting - will look into it, thanks.

I’ve not heard of garage before but it looks quite interesting. I use s3 a lot for work but for homelab backups I’ve always just used borg on borgbase. Now I’m wondering whether I could use garage to pair a local node and AWS glacier for ch

Thanks for that, appreciate the clarification. I’ll check with my colleague and report back on his experience. Certainly don’t want to misrepresent.

Thank you, glad to hear it. Sounds like my colleague might have had it misconfigured. I’ll give Codex a try then.

Agreed, and judicious use of subagents to prevent pollution of the main thread is another good mitigant.

Does Codex have token-hiding (cf Anthropic’s “subagents”)? I was tempted to give Codex a try but a colleague was stung by their pricing. Apparently if you go over your Pro plan allocation, they just quietly and automatically start billing y

Yeah. Air: 6.5in, 165gm Pro 17: 6.9in, 233gm My current Pro Max 15: 6.7in, 221gm Coming from the PM15, I give up 0.2in, but it weighs 56gm less. I do 95%+ of my reading on my phone - articles, books, everything. But I find the PM15 screen j

Often wondered whether it would be possible / advisable to combine DBOS with, e.g., Dagster if you have complex data orchestration requirements. They seem to deal with orthogonal concerns but complement nicely. Is integration with orch

Yes I’m aware. But the whole point of this open firmware afaiu is that is enables use of the existing on-chip AI features for these particular cameras. Which means that something like Frigate - which focuses on running such AI features sepa

That’s a great project, thanks for your work. I even have a couple of cameras around the house that look like they should work with this. Do you have any suggestions for an open NVR to pair with cameras running this firmware?

Lots of informative comments in the thread about how carrying with a chambered round reduces the time and complexity to getting a shot off. I have limited knowledge of guns. I understood that they had a physical safety switch that had to be

I really like Harlequin. Discovered it by accident when I was assessing Textual - I think they showcased it. I can’t think of another DB TUI tool as nice. I use it mainly with DuckDB, for which I believe it was originally written (although

Don’t disagree with the findings wrt MKW specifically, but PSA that, in general, HDR on the Switch 2 can be substantially improved by enabling HGIG tonemapping on TVs which support it, then going through the HDR calibration steps again. HDT

TIL that Atuin has a flag that might be useful here: store_failed = false. That looks like a nice low-effort halfway house between active curation and saving everything.

I see what you mean, but I guess it depends on your definition of vapourware. I don’t think whether it’s publicly available is determinative. That fact that it’s called “full self-driving”, combined with the claims made about (let alone the

This is very interesting. There was also an article and discussion a couple of days ago on using diffusion models for edit/apply tasks at ~2k tps[1]. If I understand correctly, the ‘apply’ model takes the original code, an edit snippet

Oh man, couldn’t disagree with this more strongly. SpaceX make an effort to be pretty transparent about what they’re trying to achieve and what constitutes failure. FSD is vapourware; SpaceX has been successfully launching and landing - now
