I have a running Windows 98 PC with P3 550MHz and SSD connected via IDE adapter. The drive is a bit out of place, but it’s legitimately the fastest booting, most responsive computer in my house. Its only speed issue is that it can really do

Notably, in programming this is actually a desirable feature for most problems. Even human programmers are taught to produce predictable and obvious code whenever possible. I wonder is ultimately this is an artifact of optimizing the models

Given it’s a website mostly for experienced computer people who, like you, don’t really need those visual cues, don’t you think adding them would be superfluous?

Let’s look at the very website we on. Would you prefer for every clickable element here to be a button? Or even underlined as a link? Do you ever get confused navigating this website?

To be fair, precedent has already been made with cold brew.

The "loudness war" issue is not inherent to digital sources. Nor is it something you need to "master the record out of". It's sufficient to not break it in the first place.

You’ve picked an interesting example, as driving a car, even with all safety precautions, is pretty much the most dangerous activity we do on a daily basis. Yet somehow we decide that the benefits outweigh the risks.

Many people will say it’s because of the slop. I think it’s because they have no product vision. The roadmap is pretty much a random walk, which combined with the velocity of agentic coding is like digging a moat with atomic bombs.

Your job being automated to the point where you no longer proform it has the same adverse consequences. Whether this could work is some economic and societal setup is irrelevant, because that's not the world we live in.

To what end? Can't you just quit and get the same result?

Rising kids also has a time, effort and opportunity costs which are not easily offset with money. I don’t think there’s a way to frame modern parenting in a way where it „pays off” in the same sense as it did in the past. As of now, it’s es

Subagents help with costs too, as they can run on much cheaper models.

Do you know that if you turn off saving YouTube history, you can have no front page at all?

Isn’t that just deliberate on their part? As in, they genuinely don’t want developers to use these APIs and just allow them for accessibility use cases.

Given that they could have easily get Steam Deck levels of compatibility with Windows games, but didn’t, I think they’re mainly after the App Store margins for ported games. Having an independent marketplace with tons of Mac-compatible game

Well, if that actually works, it should be part of the release process, before the packages get placed onto the regular channels.

Every year half a million children die of diarrhea. There are so, so many people in the world, who are capable of joy and suffering, who "we" don't care much at all. However I have a feeling that "we" might be joini

It's true. But at the same time, isn't it crazy to conclude that a company should restrict their developers from using their own developer productivity tools and services? If Microsoft devs shouldn't use random VSCode extensi

As Apple shifts towards services and fancy software features, I wonder how do they expect to stay competitive by only releasing them for a subset of languages.

I came to understand it as "optimizing well past the point of diminishing returns".

> intellectual elite ignoring the perception and needs of the common folk Isn’t that what the common folk chose? Was some of that not clear before the election?

I can use the webcam in LAN mode. Just - locally, in the slicer, not the cloud-based app.

It’s like the best you can hope for your small hobby YouTube channel is to graduate to general outrage.

It’s fully understandable to want that and exactly what I use too. It still sucks for people that did want to start their prints locally and control them over the app.

Some time ago the printers were able to communicate over both cloud and local protocols. Then, in a firmware update, they created distinct modes for those. You can still use the printers with OrcaSlicer, but in a mode that prevents being co

Notably, only five years have passed between last Russian solders leaving Poland and the country joining NATO. Quite a speedrun.

Also, at some point someone will figure out how to reliably produce non-smelly LLM replies.
