I highly recommend anyone to look up how PTP works and how it compares to NTP. Clock sync is very interesting. When I joined an HFT company, first thing I did was understand this stuff. We care about it a lot[1]. If you want a specific ques

Ask ChatGPT to generate product or business names for you. A lot of them contain the word “loom”. I know someone who recently vibe coded a thing and had an AI name it and it also has “loom” in it. I’m not suggesting that that’s what happene

Don’t use “loom” in your product/company name. ChatGPT LOVES to suggest it, and it makes it obvious you used it.

One more strange place: the barbershop in Leadenhall Market. You can see the wall right in the barbershop. In fact, this wall drove their rent higher and eventually they closed. (Forgive the sob story, but the barber was amazing, and they c

If this guy is interesting to you, I recommend "What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry"[1]. Really good computing history book, and I've read a lot of them. Lee is a major

It's important to note that this page is almost 10 years old. I do find myself self-censoring in 2025, but it's for a far more boring reason than surveillance capitalism. It's because leaders on the far right literally said p

Sorry to be a negative Nancy but this video just shows a regular sized phone and an iPhone 12 mini sized phone. Not very interesting.

Oh, yes, I understand. Yeah, if this is meant to speak to Reform voters, it’s really unclear if it actually makes sense to them or anyone if this is actually an immigration thing.

Why should we stop immigration?
43.
by dmazin 1y ago
I completely agree with you. I feel like there are two things... one, do Reform voters even understand that Digital ID is a response to immigration? It's not clear to me that they even do. Two, obviously immigration is not the issue. A

You're right. Another positive note is Miliband's stuff with energy -- my understanding is that they are doing mostly the right things and succeeding in the political battles they need to win. But there's also the issue of se

The thing that frustrates me the most about digital ID cards is not themselves on merit but rather modern Labour's political abilities. Like, the UK economy is stagnant, there is a cost-of-living crisis, and Labour needs to present the

Yes, this. I feel like I’m going crazy. I pay for the extra Opus usage and I keep checking the model switcher to see if it has automatically switched to Sonnet. It has not. I just have a lot more experiences of it feeling anecdotally dumb l

That’s a strange way to put it because it makes infrastructure more robust, the opposite of “crippling”. A funnier version would be they’re in cahoots with AWS since robust infrastructure is more expensive.

In the States, frankly, if you are a clearly responsible adult, it is incredibly easy to get diagnosed: just describe your symptoms like missing deadlines etc. The psychiatrist said “yeah, sounds like adult ADHD. If the medication works, cl

As much I loved this show growing up, an interesting thing about South Park is that they essentially defined the alt right (in the sense of a disenfranchised young man, often lashing out at marginalized groups and political correctness etc)

Interesting, in Britain it's completely the opposite. Alternative milk is way more expensive.

Woops, sorry, yes, this is in London. According to Good Food Institute (which is a plant-based food lobbying group), 35% of UK households purchased plant-based milk at least once during 2023 and 33% of UK households bought plant-based meat

It’s interesting that alternative meat consumption in the U.S. is struggling but taking off in Europe. One thing I noticed after moving to the UK: alternative milk is normalized here. Like, it’s so common to avoid milk that if you order cof

I respect digital sovereignty but I'm also giggling at the shock the non-nerds are going to have at Linux desktop/the tech support hassles for the IT teams.
