Imagine a horrific world where most articles are 5 pages of LLM generated fluff from a 10 bullet point sentences prompt. I know, truly a nightmare world. But in this world, wouldn't it be great to just collapse all those articles down

I will never use SDCards to run any 24/7 operating system again, after my Home Assistant for Rasperry Pi became unusable twice. The hours of troubleshooting and getting it back online was not worth the $200 an NUC/mini with actual

I blame the average customer. They don't know what they want, so they buy the option that's trying to do too many things.

I love Cerebrus. 10-100x faster than the other options. I really wish the other companies realized that some of us prefer our computer be instant. I use their API (with Qwen3 reasoning model) for ~99% of my questions, and the whole answer f

They don't mention that Jony walks from Pac Heights, and instead of going directly to North Beach, he must have climbed to the top of Coit Tower's hill to access that particular staircase down to Jackson Square, then has to walk t

I read it as: we have millions of hard drives and flash drives with a dead controller chip, so we harvest their other parts as spares. We still know how to make the spare parts from scratch, but we have so many for free.

I wish it was unlimited for me. I got 500 fast requests, about 500 slow requests, then at some point it started some kind of exponential backoff, and became unbearably slow. 60+ second hangs with every prompt, at least, sometimes 5 minutes.

Oooh, that makes more sense. To be honest, I only started reading the article with the sole mission of answering the question: what the heck is a non-generative LLM? I had never heard of that. I thought it would be answered explicitly in th

My uncle had one of these in the 90s. All I knew was he was a higher up at the university in his smallish country, and ran their internet stuff. It confused the heck out of me when he verbally told me to bring his website up at Thanksgiving

170% tariff? What was the extra 25% for? EDIT: Ok I found it. Section 301 tariffs from 2018 on electronics adds 25% to the 145%.

I did the same. Sync'd my Obsidian .md vault between my macbook and my server. Asked AI for an index.php that would render a nice html/css webpage at domain.com/whatever for every whatever.md on the fly. Works fantastic. Supp

Fine with me. If 100% of my RAM isn't in use at all times for low priority speculative cache, then it's not doing what I want. So long as it frees up the RAM instantly the moment anything actually requests it.

It corresponds with the launch of memories. Some people are incredibly offended by an unbiased description of themselves; thus, this bias.

"Writing code is easy" If you're the 1% of Earth's population for which this is true, then this headline makes sense. If you're the 99% for which this isn't at all true, then don't bother reading this, bec

Disney is quite famous for its strict allergen handling, to the point where people with deadly allergies who don't trust eating out anywhere else make an exception for Disney restaurants. So, were it not for this mass murder attempt, h

That's what they would have said about drafting tools in the 1880s, command line AutoCAD in the 1980s. Try to imagine the 2080s, or the most visionary sci-fi movie about that future - one of those movies where people look back and says

I think part of that is an illusion, since for something bowing upwards, the usualy anchor point of top left seems rotated clockwise. But there is still a real rotation - look at wyoming or colorado for a perfect rectangle. My guess is the

I'd never criticize someone's reaction during an emergency. I act dumb all the time, but I admit it later. My issue is this author is riding their viral headline about an anonymous evil insurer in cahoots with apple to kill, but w

This is common sense. The whole article read like they asked ChatGPT to fluff one sentence "review vibe code with a human before pushing to prod" into an entire article.

The author never names the insurance company. I can't help but wonder if it's because they later realized there was a web app the whole time, and the ios/android apps were entirely optional.

It's been an annoying trend to people with allergies too, since allergens are often proteins. The various protein powders are basically pure raw allergens, about as potent as possible. People don't expect random junk foods to cont

It is down. It was up in the past. Past tense seems to make the most grammatical sense. But I get why it adds ambiguity about it's future.
