It's unforgivable that the entire fleet was not mandated to be electric from the start, especially given the post office's nationwide network of parking and service areas where they could charge. Instead, these will burn gas and e

An unusual and clever use of a GPT, to find out what is missing from a conversation -- in this case, the debate. Ah, wouldn't it have been nice if any of these issues had been truly addressed?

I'm referring to bad actors adding things to the APK or altering it, though there is more evidence of the issue raised in the post below yours: folks who attempt to gather info from users in order to offer the software (outside the ap

The game studio I worked for hated side loading. It's often used by fake sites (including crypto mining and identity theft sites) to offer "free" apps which are really just APKs from legitimate publishers. The user is left wi

Everybody uses Linux every day, on the server. It's evolved to become the leading cloud OS by a wide margin because its trimmed-down nature and command line interface are perfect for servers where there's no one sitting at a scree

MS is too big for any one person to know what businesses they're in, have been in, have rights obligations around, or will be in in the future. It's quite possible that any side hustle project will, in fact, be competing with Micr

This site offers vague promises and little substantive information, but the worst part is the idea itself. I guarantee that no job applicants want to be handled the way they're proposing.

This was a popular strategy ages ago and it can work if you sell a whale or two. Most of the names will have no buyer and, of course, it's impossible to know which if any will be valuable to someone. It's casino gambling with doma

This is fantastic. Gives a quick death blow to all forms of AI hype, both positive and doomsayer. We need these truths to come out so we can use LLMs and diffusion models in realistic ways, which are already amazing and world-changing. No h

This information is outdated (2020), untrue, and confusing. Both class-based and functional methods achieve the same ends, as they must because all programs must have state and side effects. This article starts out saying that we can "

No. In fact, the whole goal is to stay as close to "bare metal" as possible without any dependencies other than the browser (and Lit). I wrote an article[0] about this that you might find helpful. [0] https://medium.com

Web components are bare metal standard stuff that works on all devices. You could use Lit as a small shim for reactive rendering. That way, you can create your component library with nearly zero dependencies and yet use it in desktop-equiva

A diffusion model cannot be a game engine because a game engine can be used to create new games and modify the rules of existing games in real time -- even rules which are not visible on-screen. These tools are fascinating but, as with al

This, 100%. An app that tells you the dryer is done is huge step down from a chime you can just hear. It makes the dryer more expensive, more difficult to use, and adds a whole separate piece of software (the app) that has nothing to do w

Yes, please! Bare metal web components with Lit are fantastic. If we add Lit itself to the browser, it's even closer to metal.

Very true. Some folks think that a patent implies some kind of "IP police" who will defend you. In reality, the patent only gives you the right to sue an infringer, a suit you must fund at your own expense. Meanwhile, the allege

One pattern I like to use is to learn about a topic for myself and then, if there are areas of possible confusion, explain my understanding to ChatGPT and ask if it's correct. This produces different results from just asking about th

What costs is getting an attorney to write it in such a way as to see it awarded. While in theory you can write your own (and file for the small fee), in practice your self-authored application won't be awarded a patent and your inve

This is a fantastic font that has become my go-to for web projects. It's variable width, so one file gives you all the bold, semi, thin, black variations, etc. Also lots of cool glyphs, old style numerals, ligatures, etc and it's
