I appreciate Tom as an educator, but he's not particularly an authority on anything.

This is not a peer-reviewed study. It's a Tom Scott youtube video.

I’m not saying this isn’t a legitimate concern but this really seems to have exploded amongst the tech community as the next obsession. I see this pop up on X every few weeks. Is the concern about this really based on actual science? Is the

Interesting project. Aren't most modern robot vacuum's using image processing to determine whether to stop or not now though? How is Lidar going to help you avoid the cat's diarrhoea on the rug?

It's far worse than that. In a lot of cases when you pay on booking.com, they don't charge your card. Instead, they send all your information (including CVV) along to the hotel where they can charge you how they want. A hotel I vi

Anecdotally, multiple folks have said to me they don't drink coffee because it makes them anxious. Enough for me to take notice.

Cursor has had this a while, integrated with their web agents. It was a bit buggy to begin with, not working well with non-github repos, but it was improving last time I checked and was pretty decent. The best part for me is seeing non-tech

I live in Finland and even I am sceptical of this figure. Maybe that’s because I go once a year. I will say it’s very very common for folks to use the library for its primary purpose of renting books - which of course requires a visit twice

I’m almost 40 and educated in the UK. I don’t think sewing has been taught in UK schools for quite many generations now - although no idea what the state of affairs is today.

It’s valuable to have input of healthcare professionals here. I don’t disagree with the majority of what you’re saying. However, the value add here is it can do your whole body a lot faster than doing a full body MRI (which would take hours

Charge me. I’ll pay. I’m not going to donate to the org right now as I don’t use Firefox as it uses (noticeably) too much battery on my MacBook compared to safari and chrome.

I really wish Mozilla would focus relentlessly on a privacy-first, performant browser across major platforms. Nothing else. I don’t want extensions (attack vector), vpns, fancy bookmarking services that are deprecated later on etc. I want t

But it's not and it's highly disingenuous to frame it like this. Quote directly from Claude code, moments ago: > Fable 5 · Most capable for your hardest and longest-running tasks · Uses your limits ~2× faster than Opus

I've not seen anyone discuss yet what kind of impact these AI features are likely to have on battery life. If they are running small on-device models, this will have a measurable impact on battery life with regular usage.

Well, your experience doesn't align with mine. I have been using, and in part of an organisation that is extensively using, Claude with Opus for everything for about 3 months now and I am not experiencing the problems you describe. We&

> Can you predict when and how the SOTA model will hallucinate? Yes or no. Can you predict the severity impact of that error beforehand? Yes or no. No, but the same can be said for your colleagues. You might call what the LLM does halluc

Your top coder has guard rails in place to prevent him autonomously going free - right? This is how you should approach agentic development with LLMs. Like it or not, we are the final bastion, the gatekeepers. The hallucination thing I thin

I've worked on projects in the airline and health industry which are highly regulated too. The regulations can be incredibly difficult to process and implement, and make sure you adhere to everything correctly. I've been involved

It's not just about it taking the technical competence away from our job, it's taken away the joy [1] which I wrote about. I feel like many of my peers are beating around the bush on this topic and in denial. Even if you accept it

It's absolutely reprehensible that they don't immediately name the extension.

I don't see the problem here. It's a great product and if they want to make money then I don't mind. If it's too expensive, and they hike the price to something ridiculous then I'll vote with my wallet.

Let them cook. Anything that they can do to get rid of the absolute hell that is dependencies in the JS ecosystem is worthwhile. I really don't care what they add as long as it's maintained

Usually on the discover weekly playlists. It started with hip hop jazz remakes about a year ago, presumably as I like hip hop, have engaged with genuine hip hop jazz covers before and these were going viral at the time. I hate to think what

Good. It's time we realised that we need a good strong stable power grid and clean nuclear energy is absolutely going to be a massive part of this.

Yes, have tried all of these (as per the docs). Have you actually tried these? Because I have tried all 3 configurations with agentic coding that you mentioned and have the same result - loops.

This has been exactly my experience too. I've tried multiple harnesses (pi, claude code, codex) with multiple variants of qwen3.6 and gemma4 driven by both o mlx and ollama - and every single time I try to do anything meaningful I end

Have to call out that comment about grok code being sub par. I used it exclusively when it was free in Cursor and have nothing bad to say about it. And that was months ago. I imagine it’s a lot better now.

Yes. You’re using Kimi if you use the composer-2 model in cursor. It’s great. Plan in state of the art. Execute in composer-2

There is a whole community of bag enthusiasts who intricately review backpacks. Packhacker etc. It's super easy to find reviews of most backpacks and plenty of video reviews detailing every feature on the bag - and even in some cases r
