Readability at Google suffered from this issue both directly (requiring someone with Readability in a language to review and approve before landing a CL) and indirectly (the backlog of requests to obtain Readability was at one point I think

Delightful. Only change: I'd add Tailscale for your SSH access (and to access your dashboards/logs) so you don't have ANY ports open.

You know, the day Stadia launched, someone very cynically set up http://stadiacountdown.com/ and it won't end up very far off from the truth. sigh Honestly, I'm glad Google was willing to take a bet this big - t

Pretty sure the system doesn't parse ATC audio but as other posters have noted can use machine readable METARs and other data to get a sense for weather and available runways. (Note that the system does NOT parse NOTAMs yet per https:

Didn't this have to add a lot more automation that goes beyond what a typical Cirrus with Perspective/Perspective+ would offer? Not just the radar altimeter and automated gear extension but autothrottle, flaps, braking, an auto-fl

While the title doesn't match the article content, what I really like about this is a notion of semantic regex - learning feature extraction was not a use case for GPT-3 I had imagined, and now my mind is reeling considering other ways

One of the many things that I loved about Lisbon was that art was hilariously pervasive. It felt like every vertical space was filled with beautiful and original art. The whole city was a gallery. It would be wonderful to see that in more p

Yes - this will make artists hyper productive IMO; and will make a lot more people willing to make art! If you've ever had a little ditty and wondered what it would sound like as a violin concerto in D minor, now you can know! If you e

In my extremely limited home 10G experience so far, SFP+ DAC modules have seemed relatively inexpensive with low(er) thermals than 10GbaseT (subjective SWAGs here, not detailed thermal measurements!) and are a great, cheap way to connect a

I think things like this are great because they will finally start to create pressure to commodify >1gbps networking in the home. The industry has some work to do here. I've been on Sonic 10G for almost a year now and LOVE it, but i

OP here - really appreciate these bits of nuance and correction. That's how everyone learns! Meta: I wish that Twitter had a better format for iterative discussion: "Hey, I just did X, I wonder how broadly it is applicable?"

Ah! Yes, my statement was incorrect. I had observed wage garnishment on the other side of the fence as an employer and had assumed courts would do this processing after a default judgement. This turned out to be a wrong assumption.
